JBL Bar Studio

I really like this soundbar. I own alot of JBL products and have been very happy with them. This soundbar is perfect for my small room and mounted very easily. Sound is clear and bass is better than expected. I like the way JBL stuff looks too, just has a clean classy design. I could see where it may not be enough for a larger room so keep that in mind. I bought my gf one also so we'll see how she likes hers. For the price this really can't be beat. A++

Pros: Crisp sound, clean bass. Easy to use.

Cons: None so far.

When I explained to Kirt that we were having difficulty hearing some of the vocals from our old Sony flat screen tv, he knew just what we needed: a sound bar. When we explained that we had a smaller, 40 inch tv, Kirt recommended the perfect size sound bar at a great price for us: the JBL Bar Studio. The JBL sound bar works perfectly for us because it is slightly shorter than the width of the tv and the sound is great, with settings for music, verbal clarity, and even great bass for those blockbuster movies. Now we do not have to have the volume super loud in order to hear verbal conversations from the inferior tv speaker; we hear clearly at a normal volume from the sound bar! I anticipate we will return to Crutchfield and Kirt when we are ready to replace our old Sony tv.

Pros: Clear, normal volume conversations, small size, works great with the technology of our older tv

Cons: No cons to the JBL Bar Studio, nor to Crutchfield

Sounds terrible using the optical input

Pros:

Cons:

It is perfect to fill small room with big sound; the highs are clear and the lows are full. Easily connects to my phone and tablet via bluetooth. Love having the option to load a thumb drive with MPS for direct playback. The unit is tiny and light, so it hides on a floating shelf. Only gripes: there is no display so you have to decipher the lights to read the unit. There is a short delay from when you start streaming until the songs starts playing, so you miss the first few seconds of the first song you play. I loved this device enough to buy a second one for another room.

Pros: small, light, bass, good sound, easy to connect

Cons: no display

Very happy with my purchase and exceeded my expectations.

Pros:

Cons:

So far so good. I don't watch TV or movies very often so I've only used it once or twice. I had been using the Klipsch 3 for a minute for sound but got tired of having to move it back and forth for different application. Compared to the Klipsch 3, of course, it is weak. But for the money, definitely a whole lot better than reggie TV audio.

Pros:

Cons:

nice compact unit for the price good sound...but a little underpowered

Pros:

Cons:

Good sound for this size unit. It retains settings when controlled by DVR remote.

Pros: Good sound for this size unit. It retains settings when controlled by DVR remote.

Cons: Sound bar to TV connection is optical, not HDMI.

I tried this new JBL Bar Studio sound bar for a week. I'm not saying it's a bad sound bar but remember the specs on it. It's only 30 total watts of power. For anyone who needs just a little boost to TV sound, it's great. But when you may really need an overwhelming lift for TV sound or a movie, you're definitely going to wish you chose something with more power. I had to send this back to Crutchfield for these reasons and selected the Yamaha YAS 107.

Pros: Good sound for a minimal sound boost, good input features and not too long to take up space.

Cons: Not enough sound for the times you may need more than a little boost to enjoy cinema.

This Jbl soundbar is great for the price. I especially like that it has Bluetooth capabilities and is also automatically controlled with my tv remote when I use it with my Sony tv. Great sound I use this soundbar for my outdoor patio living room setup.

Pros: Sounds good and looks good.

Cons: The remote control is required to sync new Bluetooth devices.

It is what it purports to be. It is great for my small apartment.

Pros: Does exactly as promised.

Cons:

Very nice sound for such a slim design.

Pros:

Cons:

Good overall unit. I am using it mostly for USB and it could be a little more intuitive, but once up and running it works great. Good price and great sound.

Pros:

Cons:

Not very satisfied at all with this tube Maybe the source it's coming from, but still very week lows Sounds are not crisp at all sounds like a tv speaker Would not recommend to any one

A Sound Buy I bought this low profile sound bar to go with a 32" TV. The sound coming from this 24" speaker is astounding. I hooked up the optical connection to a 32" TV that I since got rid of. The sound was good coming from this sound bar. I replaced the 32" TV with a newer 32" smart TV and the sound that comes out of the JBL Bar Studio is simply outstanding. This is a low cost bargain upgrade for a small TV. I recommend this product to anyone that is looking to upgrade their TV sound system without going broke.

Pros: Small Size with a great sound. Dolby Audio and surround sound are available. Responds to most Samsung, Sony, LG and Vizio TV's remote controls automatically. You have the option to disable this function if you want to.

Cons: NONE

The jbl sounds great but Crutchfield needs to correct the dementions they have for this product, the length they list is incorrect, glad it ended up working out for me , its a bit long but will work, please review your dementions on your web page and correct Crutchfield!

Pros: sounds great

Cons: dementions listed on web site are incorrect itover 24 inchs not 14

For the money it's fine. My remote control was damaged out of the box so I'm dealing with JBL on sending me a new one. It's great if you need something for a little boost but do not expect this soundbar to deliver on a pro audio level.

Pros:

Cons:
