Dude! The fact you cover the whole line up for comparison and still provide a spreadsheet with spec and comparable competing products is next level, thank you very much!
Nice video, the best one yet to cover all these mini diff in their line up; 🙏🏻
Great job! 😎👍
Thanks Henry 😊
Many Thanks for the video.
You're Welcome. Thanks for the comment Jacob.
Great spreadsheet Josh.. You made all the confusions cleared.. Thanks alot, Love from India.
Can you plz help with Samsung's bars comparison or Just help me with selecting one out of Jbl 500 and Samsung 800...
Another great review Josh, Sonos just announced their new era speakers the 100 which will replace the Sonos one’s and the 300, unfortunately it ain’t the kind of upgrade we all wanted, which was upward firing speakers.
Thanks man 😀 Yeah, i think they may have missed the memo that we want atmos drivers. Interesting looking product tho.
@@archwaytech Well why would you upgrade to speaker that just has a couple of extra tweeters, it doesn't make sense.
Detachable surround speakers were Great ! This soundbar has atmos but unfortunately can't give the feel of 5.1 surround sound.
After buying JBL 2.1 deep bass mk2, I'm a big fan of JBL's music instruments, sound separation, vocals, bass, sound clarity and loudness.
Priced?
Hey Guys. Right now not all of these models are available worldwide but I would imagine JBL are working to change that. Ask away with any questions you’ve got and I’ll try and help ya out 😊
have an LG brand smart TV, on my TV there are 2 HDMI connectors, one says HDMI and the other says HDMI e/arc, which one should I choose to connect to HDMI ARC audio?
@@pendekarnkri7878 you plugged in hdmi arc
🍻great video!
Thanks Bread 😊
Thank you for posting this video - it is helpful for trying to decide on a purchase. Right now, I'm swaying between the JBL Bar 500 and the Samsung HW-800B. 90% TV use (cable box, streaming services, etc), 10% room music use (BT connection). The sub on the JBL is worlds better, but the Dolby Atmos sounded better on the Samsung. When I tested each at a Big Box store, I didn't know about the voice enhance feature on the JBL. Will that close the soundstage gap comparison for these two? Also, there are not many reviews on this unit on Amazon, etc. Can you share if they are having any inheritent problems with this unit? Thanks much.
hello josh ..thanks for all the great videos it really helps to choose the right one ..i got the samsung 990b finally. ..can u suggest which are the wall mounts i can use for 2 rear speakers please ?
Nice improvements by JBL but I own the 5.1 surround and I paid only $299.00 for it back in 2019 and am keeping it possibly forever with Chromecast built in its just a plus and that 10" wireless sub is just thumping.
I agree with you. I bought the same system in 2022 and I thoroughly enjoy it. The 10" sub definitely hits hard, glad I bought it on sale as well.
Hi Josh, I just watched your subwoofer placement video. One thing I want to ask is that samsung subwoofer usually are at sides and port at the back by default. Should we use the default position for placement or change the direction of the subwoofer driver then do the placement. What are your thoughts on this?
Hi Josh😊When will you have your review out for JBL BAR 500?
Kia Ora Josh, just wondering what you would recommend for a stand alone sound bar, the Sennheiser Ambeo unfortunately is too expensive for me, hence I was wondering what other options would you recommend, thanks
Great job! What is the best? Sonos Arc,Jbl 1300,Bose ultra or Samsung q990c? Thank you!
Great overview of JBL soundbars Josh. Very helpful. Well done
Thanks Mark 😀
I've been looking through your soundbar reviews and I've noticed you haven't reviewed any Dennon or Polk Audio soundbars.
Thanks for the review. Is it OK to leave the detachable surrounds attached to the main bar? Do they still work or do they just charge?
They still work
Hello, I intend to buy a soundbar and I wanted you to tell me what the Definitive Technology soundbar "Studio 3D Mini" is like, which a friend recommended but I haven't found much info about it. I appreciate your opinion in advance, thank you very much EXCELLENT CHANNEL!! Greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾
bro, i watch both of your reviews, should I buy the jbl bar 500 or samsung hw-q800b. they sell the same price now
Hello. The 800 has no dts codec. Only atmos. Is that a problem when I watch movies on ultra blu ray or netflix
Does Asia Pacific include Australia for JBL? I'm having trouble finding a 1300x on sale locally
Should I get active studio stereo speakers with a dac or the JBL 1000?
I recently brought the bar 1000 and I’m a bit disappointed with how loud it is at max volume especially for music,
It seems to me that JBL has volume limited the bar as max volume is only 32.
My old TCL ray danz (paid $300 aud) which had 570 watts and a smaller subwoofer was louder for music.
For movies and television shows I love the bar 1000 and I love not having to have the speakers attached to power.
Overall it’s a great bar and I think 95% of people will be happy with it but I expected more for the price and specs.
That's good to know. Thanks for sharing 😄
How large is your room? These are meant for smaller rooms.
When watching movies does it sound distorted with a loud volume
Turn it up to 11….
How do you justify the overall price increase in MKII?
nice,, how to turn off blue tooth and wifi for JBL Bar 5.0 Multibeam ???
Brother can you please tell me which soundbar should I buy for get Dolby Atmos enjoyment, my home theatre room length is 18 foot and width 12 foot, should I go for 5.1.2 or higher than this?
sony HT S20R or this JBL Bar 2.1 soundbar deepbase? i want to connect it to my gaming PC and pc more on music and play games minimal movies
JBL Bar 2.0 and JBL Bar 2.0 MK2 are exact same specs, buy the JBL Bar 2.0. no reason for MK2 only if you like how it looks, that's all it changed.
I have buy the 300 and sounds good for my little room y pay 180 in Burlington
Hi, will you be reviewing the jbl bar 1000? I am before buying and I do not know whether to take jbl bar 1000, samsung hw q990b or pay extra for jbl bar 1300. I would be grateful for help
I'm not sure at this stage. I just bought the Bar 500 so will be reviewing that soon. It depends on how much demand there is for that soundbar as to whether it's worth me buying it and making a video. My initial thought is that the Q990B will be discounted atm whereas you'll likely be paying full price for the 1000 so they'll probably be close in price. One of the factors is whether you like the flexibility of the rear speakers or not. The big selling point for the 1300 is the standalone bluetooth speakers and it's a more powerful bar. So deciding if it's worth if for you comes down to those extra features. I hope that helps.
1300x has a 12inch sub and it hits hard af.
I saw you showing a hdmi eARC adapter on one of your older videos a few days ago but I can't find that video again.
I need a hdmi eARC adapter because my TV doesn't passthrough any form of DTS audio when I watch a blu ray via my PANASONIC UB820 and I'm using a POLK Audio React soundbar.
Could you please suggest a hdmi adapter that I can get eARC to my soundbar.
I tried connecting the audio out from my PANASONIC UB830 directly to my soundbar but the blu ray player doesn't recognise that I have it connected to my soundbar and it just outputs audio to my TV.
When I watch a movie or something v show with DTS audio on the UB820 my TV converts it to pcm 2.0 on the eARC out.
I've spent hours changing sound out settings on my TV and blu ray player to see if I can get DTS passthrough via HDMI eARC on my TV but no matter what setting I used it always output PCM 2.0 from the TV.
Have a look at this video. It’ll give you some more info: ruclips.net/video/c5ZtRA1xHEI/видео.html
My room that I want to do surround sound is two stories high. Can this work in a room like that? Do the updirectional speakers need a normal ceiling height between the 9-11 feet? My ceiling height is probably 22-25 feet.
I tested the 1300 in a store this weekend, and I was surprised at the performance of the upward-firing speakers, even with the high ceiling. So I believe that it would work in your scenario as well.
the detachable surround speakers are wireless I presume? thanks
Yes they are. They’ve got an internal battery and wirelessly connect back to the bar.
Hello Josh....between bar 500 and samsungQ800B which one would pick and why?
I'm not sure at this stage. I just bought a Bar 500 yesterday and it arrived this morning so i'll working on that review this week. What do you want to know about it?
@@archwaytech excellent hopefully you will have soon a full review of the bar 500.I wanted to know if for movies Q800B is better and more cinematic than Bar 500.
what's the difference between JBL bar 5.0 vs JBL bar 300?
The 300 is smaller and able to deliver a better-balanced sound profile. It can get louder with fewer compression artifacts, and it supports more audio formats via its HDMI ARC port. However, the 500's surround performance is better and offers room correction and EQ presets.
You are missing the jbl bar 5 multibeam which i consider between the 300 and 500. The 300 is better for dialog and clarity, but it's immersion is lacking due to the bar 5 having 4 passive radiators it can almost sound like it has a smaller sub. It's not that old, has atmos decoding, and is readily available, under 200 on woot right now.
Which is best for music and loudness JBL bar 2.1 deep bass MK2 or Sony S40R. Please answer.
Jbl bar 500 bigger sub
jbl is starting to remind me of apple. jbl 700 is a 500 but they disconnected the speakers and for that charges a lot more. this is such an apple thing.
isn't that a lot of tech companies do that? lol
JBL 5.0 ‽
Why isnt the jbl bar 3.1 on the list?
Because it’s been replaced by the bar 500
1300x or 990b?
Not sure atm... I haven't tried the 1300X. The Q990B is a great soundbar tho.
Are you still supporting this channel ?
WHERE ARE YOU !!??
meh, the 2.0 is awful, my tv has better built in sound. save your money.
Stay away from JBL products unless you want it to die for no reason after 2 years. I've bought earbuds, the battery stopped holding charge until after the warranty expired. Same with my Soundbar. It just quit working one day, the LED display never turned on, even when going though all the troubleshooting. Their products are just cheaply made and are not designed to last. I'm switching to Bose. More expensive, but they have a serious reputation to protect to fall under planned obsolescence. Do NOT buy JBL.
My JBL sound bar is 3 years old no issues with it
@@handheldnintendofandoes your soundbar get hot ? Mine yes even on stand by mode I just bought I was wondering if it was normal. The product work perfectly
