I'm gona be honest, I probably watched all of the reviews on youtube about this soundbar, and your was the last I watched. But it was by far the best review I saw. Most reviewers just read the spec list and marketing material of the manufacturer. You on the other hand talk about your experience, which is what whe care about on a review. So congrats 👍

Hello, 1-Does it give left and right effect? ( i dont see any left and right speakers). 2- i have a sony 4k hdr 2016 which has only ARC and no eARC. Do i need to buy a separate hardware ( apple tv or fire stick... ) to be able to hear atmos? 3- i was concidering bose 700 home theater for the sound quality, will this give a good sound quality compared to bose? 4- are movie dialogues clear concidering there is no EQ to modify it?

Thanks. This was pretty detailed. Can you pls tell me how does this stand in terms of sound quality with Bose 700 soundbar with bass module?

I came from the jbl 5.1, it was definitely an upgrade the mids sound better and voice is more pronounced. I can actually hear what they are saying now because the bass doesn't affect it as much. Even after lowering the bass to low the low voices would barely be noticeable. Id like it so far. Couldn't get a hold of the sonos arc but did get the sub and the beam. The sub is definitely better in the sonos. Probably the best bass I've heard so far.

Hello team! I just got the JBL 9.1 today and have been testing it for 2 hours appx! So I calibrated the rear speakers first on the tip of my bed and the second calibration with the rears permanently connected to micro usb cables flushed against the wall (just behind my bed) they are like 4.8 ft from the floor altitude level. The Bass I tested in the middle of my bedroom against the wall and then just besides my bed with the subwoofer against the wall. So here are my observations and questions so far: 1.) I am still yet to feel any Atmos overhead sensation (I tried Ready Player One, 6 Underground, KZread Amaze and Leaf Dolby Trailers, Thor Ragnarok, Dark the raining episode 2, and also the Dolby Atmos Demos on the Apple Tv 4K app) I do feel the cool sound but not much overhead. I am playing at volume 18-20 appx. I already connected to Google Wifi and all is updated. Regarding the Bass mmmm I have tried it between 3-5 and honestly I just feel the rumble when in volume 5. Beneath 5 sometimes I dont feel i that much even though I have changed it to 2 different places. Got 3 questions! 1.) How do I know when to update the Soundbar and do the Rear Speakers must be attached to the soundbar to update? When I turn on the soundbar how do I know the rear speakers are ON or Charging? I see a Red Dot (remember I will have them plugged in micro usb cables 24/7). 2.) Am I doing something wrong with the Bass? Do I have to calibrate the soundbar every time I move the Subwoofer to test places? 3.) I am open to suggestions to enhance the sound! My room is 5x4 meters and like 10-12 ft ceiling high from the Soundbar.

Question does it show "dolby surround" on the display when atmos content is play on netflix or it shows "dolby atmos" , mine is showing "dolby surround" , i am using it on an a8g arc not ( not earc ) plz tell what should i do thank u

Do you need the EARC for dolby? I have an HDMIarc and I would rather get the jbl 5 bar unless the 9 bar has the height effect even with just the HDMIarc.

Great video!!

yes but how to set up? my Lg C9 looses most remote functions e.g. Home once connected...

Bro, how is it going till now ? And do you get sound from above your head ??

I agree with you %100 after researching all the sound bars the JBL and the Vizio elevate is the best sounding to me the Vizio I give maybe an extra point it’s that good excellent review.

If you have a Samsung phone and a Samsung TV then go for the Samsung soundbar not only will it be optimized for your television because it's made best for Samsung users but it'll also give you features if you're a Samsung Galaxy user.

You can connect it this way, plug the systems hdmi into the soundbar and use the earc as the output on the tv so you get the picture and sound

Can I only play music through chrome cast or can I play netflix movie. 4k content is supported through crome cast?

Its audio only when using chromecast with the speakers. But if you cast it to your tv it will play both audio and video in 4K

Best advantage for soundbar is it will recieve updates faster, and airplay and Chromecast will be more stronger and less delay compared to wifi

@@Technoid10 it seem you know better than the jbl support thanks. I also could not find power rating for jbl subwofer and bar (if exiting ups would support or i need to buy new one) I saw it as 250watt power rating?

I actually bought one but it gets disconnected automatically after which i have to take the AC plug out and insert it again. Did you face any similar issue?

Yes I have noticed that. It seems to be not the ac outlet but instead the hdmi signal. I think jbl can fix that with a firmware update

For dolby atmks content the movie your watching has to be atmos compatible. If you have Netflix, apple TV or other streaming services, they will indicate if it's compatible with atmos. And as for the rear speakers you can increase their effect on the control by using the rear button once yoy detach them

Hello, I am looking to buy the JBL Bar 9.1 but I want to know if I put a Fire tv stick 4k in the 'HDMI in' of my soundbar and connect a projector through 'HDMI (eARC)' out of my soundbar to 'HDMI in (without ARC/eARC)' of my projector and use netflix on my Fire stick, will it show atmos support for supported content? Please reply. This is greatly going to influence my purchase decision.

Yes if you use the hdmi in with a fire stick it will play and output atoms. However, using the Arc itself will still play and enable atmos content if the fire stick is in the TVs hdmi port

Hey sorry for the long wait but after testing the earc and projector, i am happy to report you can use the soundbar with a projector. All you have to do is place the soundbar on a designated area of your choice, then plug in the fire stick in the HDMI IN port on the soundbar. Then you plug the eARC (HDMI Out) into the projector and thats it! The content will play normally and fully support atmos content

Any trouble with wireless speakers when charging on the Soundbar?

I have never owned JBL products but I am always afraid to get stuff with non standard batteries on expensive stuff. For me JBL 9.1 is pricey. So if I am buying this, it will be an investment for a pretty long time. So I want to know if JBL will stop providing spares (like battery etc for the rear speakers after a few years like apple does).

The batteries inside of the stereos are lithium ion those are the most standard batteries and every smart phone tablet even cars are using so they’re not using any non-standard batteries for the stereo pairs and to answer your question no they’ve made it clear they will cover batteries and honor any service or warranty past expiration

How to increase the Bass more in this system. Am feeling that 5.1 more batter than 9.1. That Bass quality awesome in 5.1 only

@Technoid10

I think the base quality is maxed out in DolBy Atmos due to the way the movies format is if the movies is balanced the base wont be as pronounce that’s because they favor the detail with spatial audio where is 5.1 is surroundsound and the base will stand out even more

Yes it allows you to change the bass but no treble. You cant change the EQ it’s adaptive, from what I’ve seen, and it adapts to whatever is playing.
