    So JBL’s sound bar’s have always been good and they always brought with them a lot of extra features… but I always felt that they were a little clunky especially their software and audio normalization. But now we have the JBL Bar 500, and overall this is a good sound bar, but more importantly, the software is a lot more refined. You can think of the Bar 500 as a suped up version of the Bar 300.

    Crazy story yesterday. We went to Best Buy yesterday. Mind u never heard of the jbl bar. We were getting ceiling speakers with a amp. While we was there we heard this loud noise. Long story short.. we walk out the store withe jbl 500. Right now wife is playing it while setting up Xmas decorations. She’s happy I’m happy. Great sound bar 😊

    _You have to understand the optimization of speaker position, if you put the subwoofer 3 to 4 inches up in the corner of your room, it will turn the room into an “acoustic boom” instead of a centralized “bang” that you get when the subwoofer is against a 180° wall or in the center of the room, then up against a 90° wall where the subwoofer should be: this knowledge comes specifically from JBL and DTS engineers_

      A trick.....put your subwoofer to your hear position, start the music. Now you have walk around in the room, find the sweet spot for you. Now take the subwoofer to this position. Take you hear position, and enjoy. This trick is from Paul, owner PS Audio, he know what he doing. Have fun🍀🎶

    from my experience, the audio normalization issue is still there, when i set my volume to meet the enjoyable dialogue, the cinematic action sound will sound too loud to me so i need to turn down the volume and meet the quiet dialogue, i hope jbl will update this soundbar to have night mode.

    I have this sound bar. It's replacing my 2009 Samsung 7.1 surround sound. The bass is insane. You can adjust from 1-5. And the overall system is great. I highly recommend.

    Bought this bar last week for my PC and was not impressed. There was little to no stereo effect since all the front drivers are in the middle of the bar, which is really stupid. Swapped it for a Denon S517 and it's so much better. The subwoofer for the Denon doesn't rumble as much though.

    Sorry for my bad englisg, 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.

    I just found your video as I ordered this soundbar today. I'm interested in the fact that you also have the Sony X90L, which I just purchased a month ago. I assume this soundbar works well with the Sony. I have a Samsung soundbar currently that I'm not thrilled with and I'm moving it to my basement. Anything I should know about JBL/Sony combo?

      I almost got the X90L to..but the peice went up..my Sony X900E bit the dust last month..it was a good TV..i got the Hisence U8k..it is nice..the one thing i can tell is it is MUCH BRIGHTER..
      But for the BAR 500 pure voice you have to hold the Mute Button for more then 5 sec , then tap the bass button.
      Smart Mode you press the mute for more then 3 sec then press volume up..
      I talked to JBL and they have other reports of it not working after a update..you can also type in jbl bar 500 pure voive not working there are 2 rettid articals.
      THIS IS WHAT JBL SAID.
      Hello JP, we appreciate
      you reaching us about your
      inquiry. The 500 got an
      update that does not enable
      PureVoice. We received
      feedback that this is
      something to work out and
      we will be fixing and
      releasing a new update that
      will allow the functionality of
      enabling/disabling Pure
      Voice in the next few
      months. The update will be
      coming within 1-2 months

      This JBL Bar 500 is upgrade from JBL 5.1 surround, there is no 2 separated surround speaker (as 5.1 2017 or 9.1 /Bar 1000). Thus, Bar 500 is called "Surround sound emulation" not real

      Hey. I've tested 4 of those and owned 3. What I can tell you is, Get the Bose or the JBL. You can flip a coin. I currently own the Sony but it's too early to give a full opinion. I can say that the Bose is better for movies (voice clarity), the Sony is best for other media, especially music BUT the JBL finds a good balance between the two.
      If I could rank them *based on first impressions* ;
      Sony
      JBL
      Bose
      Best of luck !
      I'll come back to this if I discover anything new that could change my mind.

JBL best for me now cuz we have a franchise the JBL 2.1 surrounded MK2 the best option because the last generation of JBL reduce last year 2022 the
      budget and the best over all and rating 5 star ✨ and bar 500 it's good but measure it by the price not really sure the best option
