I bought this soundbar 2 weeks ago. Gaming (CoD) is so damn immersive and the 10" woofer just shreds. Streaming via Chrome cast via Spotify: this system is so damn impressive! At audio level 18 I feel like I'm at a club because of the large sub and my family room is about 500sqft. So far I absolutely love this soundbar despite only having an Arc HDMI port.

If you live in an apt and you dont want to much noise press the mute bottom for about 5 second and the plus volume until you see the off mode on the sound bar and after that do the same but press the minus bottom for night modes, it helps a lot.

Anyone know what is the explanation of below sound modea? Hold bass button for 5 seconds, then press + on remote There is 5 different modes but no information from JBL

Picked mine up on Prime day. Looks good and has sounded great everywhere I have placed it. It won't be the loudest speaker out there, but excellent value at this price point.

Hey Wesley! Yes they can be used in a separate room as long as they are close enough for the wireless connection to reach. We would recommend placing both of the rears in the same room though so you still get both the left and right channels! Check out our comparison of our favorite soundbars if you are interested in one with more multi-room expandability: audioadvice.io/2020soundbars

Being quite a short soundbar, how do you reckon this affects the left and right channels?

@AudioAdvice

3 жыл бұрын

Hi John. With the rears attached, the bar spans 47-inches wide. When you remove the detachable wireless rear-surrounds, the bar spans just shy of 35-inches long, about 2 ½ inches tall, and 4.7-inches deep. The Bar 9.1 is designed to sit under your TV or it can be wall-mounted. If you place this under your TV, we always recommend separating the bar from the TV to give the upward-firing Atmos drivers enough clearance to direct sound up to your ceiling. Other than this, the left and right channels would not be affected whatsoever by the size. Our full-written review covers the performance in greater detail: www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/jbl-bar-9-1-soundbar-review/ and when you buy from Audio Advice, we’re also including an exclusive “Tips & Tricks - How to set up JBL Bar 9.1 Soundbar" video that will give you some additional key tricks, including how to get the best sound for your room, and a few other tips.

The JBL will immediately output Atmos movies played on those devices and display “Dolby Atmos” on the soundbar display. And yes, it does make a difference!

Can you position the sub next to you like if you're sitting on couch instead of in front of you?

You could but you should watch this first. www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/how-to-setup-calibrate-subwoofer

Are the rear speakers easily wall mountable (and uncountable for charging)?

I returned the JBL 9.1, only had it for 4 hours, went back in the box. This JBL in no way compares to any Sonos speakers. I ended getting the Sonos ARC and Sub. The JBL is noticeably inferior in all aspects, the sound is muffled, no treble, and did not connect to my WiFi at all. I was so disappointed in this JBL. Maybe I had a bad unit, not sure. When my wife, who is not a sound audiophile like myself, said “ you think that sounds good?” I was trying to like it, but it was so disappointing that I knew I was packing it up. I have a JBL onBeat Rumble that sounds 10 times than this JBL sound bar.

@@itsmermf I had the exact same experience with the 5.1 version a few years ago. Except mine went back in the box after 20 minutes. Given the raves I read about it, I assumed it was my hearing. But to me it sounded AWFUL. Tinny, hollow sound like a tin can. My theory is that people fall in love with the subwoofer, which overpowers the entire thing. Without that it is horrible. I got a Sony and the sound was immediately better.

@@AudioAdvice Their support were helpful and acknowledged the issue and got it refunded. Here's their response: I am really sorry to inform you that sadly, the issue which you are facing, where when you try adjusting the rear speaker's level, causing the display to say "NOT SUPPORTED" is being caused by the soundbar thinking that the detachable speakers are still attached to the soundbar. This issue can sadly not be fixed by a software update, and requires the soundbar to be repaired at a service center.
