@@yandronunez1252 not tried the other, so can't comment but generally not impressed by Sony's soundbars
@TotallydubbedHD what about compared to the sony ht-g700? Mostly the Dolby atmos aspect.
@@yandronunez1252 the Sony is poor in almost every way.
I just bought the system got it in actually yesterday and this thing hits hard.
Glad you're enjoying it!
Jbl bar 1300x is coming. Can't wait to see your review on it! I'll see if it worth the extra on price compare to the bar 1000. Then I'll decide which one to get.
Ha, not even heard of that model - let's see if and when it comes out, and if I can get it in for review! Thanks for you support :)
Good review, good info. I know my choice now :)
Glad you liked it!
Sounds amazing and I'm listening on my phone,I can imagine in person
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I bought this for the price nothing comes close at this price the 9.1 is better I played around with the Samsung over priced the Bose I even tried the 5.1 with upfiring speaker it was good but didn't come with sub woofer the best value is 5.1 for best sound experience 9.1
Best review Ive come accross👌
Thanks buddy, much appreciated!
Sir what happen if i increase the bass to level 5 with the bass eq to max . Will the bass distort or just being overwhelming?
jbl bar 500 or the samsung hw q700c which is better (i have 50-50 use of movies and music as well)
Hello, regarding the HDMI connections, am I able to use a cable box with this soundbar? It looks like I can connect the cable box to the soundbar hdmi in and then connect the soundbar to the tv using the arc hdmi. Is that correct?
That's correct.
There is dts support? It’s possibile to adjust the center channel? Because the previus 5.1 don’t have anytings and the dialogue are terrible. Thanks
Would love to know the answer on this as well, in terms of if the center channel can be adjusted
I bought the JBL 3.1 with the 10” sub like 3/4 years ago , powerful sub but the only downsize is sound-bar lacks mids , when watching tv shows and movies you have to have the remote on hand because you constantly turn volume up and down ,annoying and it ruins the experience, if they fixed this issue on the 5.1 and 9.1 , I may upgrade soon , great review btw .
Thanks, glad you liked the review!
Did they fix it
Yes, there is an app controlled equalizer that lets you change the bass, mids or treble to whatever you want.@@aleksandernovak2541
Just switched from a Samsung soundbar to the JBL 500 and there is no comparison. The JBL is just so much better than my old Samsung in terms of sound quality and fullness.
That's vague, which Samsung?
Samsung HW450@@TotallydubbedHD
@@craigharrison5406 yeah that would be an upgrade. Not comparable in price.
True that was the point of replacing the Samsung. The Samsung price equivalent the Q700 is 200 watts less total power so the JBL seemed like a better choice. I'm quite happy with the sound. @@TotallydubbedHD
@@craigharrison5406 glad you're enjoying it!
I don’t understand, does it have built in Alexa?
If i have a tv with only hdmi arc, dolby atmos will work ? Or only if i have eArc?
Yes it will without issues. Just that you won't get uncompressed Atmos.
Which soundbar systems come with a subwoofer that extent lower than this one, the Samsungs?
Depends on the budget. Sennheiser Ambeo is the best I've come across in a soundbar system.
I found listening to music really good BUT tv audio via eArc sucks. My old Marshall Stanmore II is better when watching TV. Any recommended set up or EQ settings that will make it better?
Other than the EQ, there's not much you can do.
Is not bad bro 😂
which one is better between bar 500 and samsung HW-S800B?
No idea, not tried the other
Just bought myself this, saved £100 through student discount 😉 if it’s anything like JBL’s portable Bluetooth speakers the sound will be amazing!
EDIT: Having watched this, perhaps it’s not the best option.. what would you suggest out of this, the Denon S517 and the Samsung Q800B? Price aside, what would you say gives the best experience for films and music? Thanks!
Indeed, there are better alternatives, namely the one from Samsung is superior in many ways; suggest checking the description for my reviews!
@@TotallydubbedHD how does the Jbl 5.1 subwoofer sound compare to the Samsung Q800C subwoofer. What one gets lower and has more bass? Even if the Jbl is 10 inches compared to the Samsungs 8 inch is there much difference?
@@jdmatefratus4030 I'd say the JBL one does a bit better.
Hey bro can do you suggest between Samsung Q800B and jbl bar 500? I need better audio quality and quality bass
Suggest watching the reviews, but I'd pick the Samsung
Q800B. Just bought it today from Croma. While the sub of the JBL is powerful, it lacks in the overall sound coming from the bar. Compared them both side to side, for about half and hour. And for Indian homes, Q800b is a better option.
how to off or on both features smart mode and pure voice plz tell me
Read the manual
Just went from JBL 2.1 to the 500. Huge difference watching movies. Much deeper bass on lower volume.
Glad you're enjoying it!
How to on/off pure voice faction???
Check the manual.
Is this better than JBL 5.1 surround?I am between the JBL 500 and Samsung Q700B...what do you suggest brother?
Would suggest it over the other two mentioned. Although, the 700B is better across the mids
So you suggest JBL500 over Q700B?which will have better atmosphere experience and are the upfiring speakers on the Q700B worth it?
@@filiptripolitis5213 I suggest you watch the reviews!
@@TotallydubbedHD I have watched all your reviews but sadly can’t find for the Q700B.
@@filiptripolitis5213 ah yes, well the Q700A is very similar to the B, so would base that review to the B as well :)
Samsung q800c or Jbl bar 500 pro ..
Which one is better
The Samsung is what I'd pick
Is this worth the upgrade from jbl bar 5.1?
No
JBL bar 500 or SS q800c ? Thank you.
I'd say the Samsung
HW-Q700C or this Bar 500? Found both at an equal price. 320 watts vs 590 but it seems you had more negative input on this bar.
Kesinlikle jbl bar 500'ü alın!Samsung'un basları çok zayıf 6.5" ile 7" arası bar 500 ise 10" kalite olarakda bar 500 daha iyi.
Can you give me a recomment between JBL500 and LG S75QR?
Get the JBL.
I got it already.. the bass is incredible. thank you.@@TotallydubbedHD
Hi is it better then Sony g700 in turms of bass
Yes, almost everything is better than that Sony lol
Is that a problem to place the subwoofer beside the sofa?
not overly, but it's recommended to be by the TV; due to how the acoustics work.
@@TotallydubbedHD Thanks!!!!
Between the Bar 500 and 5.1 surround is 500better in some areas
The 500 across the mid-range is better than the 5.1
@@TotallydubbedHD I have last years 5.1 - does the 500 make much of a difference? Specifically, how does it handle vocals at lower volumes compared to the original 5.1 (non Pro 500)?
Yes im curious 2
Between this and q800b which one sound better
Ses=samsung bas=jbl
Jbl bar 500 or bose 600 or sennheiser ambeo mini which is best
Would pick the Sennheiser out of that bunch, but there are others you should consider
@@TotallydubbedHD OK thanks 😊
Have you heard in person or reviews SAMSUNG Q800B?How does it compare?
Not the B variant, but the A was reviewed; see description - it's very similar in performance.
Jbl bar 500 mü samsung q800d mi daha iyi?
@@sutoprak9955 800d
How does it compare to it's 5.1 predisesor?
I have the same question.
Me 2
Just got it and its not that good...the Denon bar itself sounds much better..this one is harsh sounding..and also the Pure Voice doesnt work..i saw on Reddit other people have the same problem..shame on JBL..
IMO
Can't really agree there, but whatever works for you!
@@TotallydubbedHDI got it to sound a bit better..but after the new update Pure Voice doesnt work..i talked to JBL they said an update is coming in a month or 2..
Also told them the App should have the option for Pure Voice and Smart Mode...
Hello, 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
@@ThatCrazyRCGuy67 thanks for sharing!
@@TotallydubbedHD No prob..sad thing about update..they can help..but can also REALLY MESS STUFF UP...
Sounds very ordinary
Mhmm
