I’m considering witch to buy between these 2 models

[@claudiuv8746]

How is it compared to the 5.1 with detachable speakers? That had a 13 kg subwoofer, JBL 500 subwoofer is 10 kg. Any difference at the bass? I had the old one with detachable speakers but it worked for 2 months, after that it wouldnt pair with the bar.
Thanks

Sorry for my bad english, I'm brazilian and recently i bought this BAR 500. Sometimes I turn on after a few days but the bar crashes and is slow to change functions and does not connect correctly to Bluetooth. So I need to unplug and plug again the BAR into the power.
Have you ever seen this problem?
Today I reset the BAR and I hope that it solves.
