Excellent soundbar that has a solid bass. Design: Top notch build quality which boasts sleek and modern design. Very simple and effective remote control. The multibeam technology gives you an immersive 3D sound experience. Audio Performance This soundbar delivers immersive and crystal-clear audio. The deep bass and clear highs will make you feel like you're right in the middle of the action. Cons: 1. All the 5 speakers are front or side facing. It would have hit out of the park if it had upward facing drivers for a more immersive sound. 2. Audio could have been little more crisp Connectivity Options Connecting to The JBL Bar 300 is a breeze. It offers a wide range of connectivity options, making it easy to integrate into your existing setup. I used to connect with HDMI ARC, and Bluetooth. The wireless subwoofer adds an extra dimension to the audio experience.

Recently bought this Sound Bar to have better audio for my TV, when watching movies & such. I end up using it everyday for that reason or to have personal dance parties in my house! One of the best investments I've made to change the energy in my house.

Thumping base and ear piercing treble but dialog is inaudible. We had to turn the volume all the way up to hear that dialog and then the action scenes were overwhelming. Great for Michael Bay films but if there is a plot, forget it.

Enjoyed using the JBL bar 300, it is very easy to set up and use. The compact design allows you to easily place it anywhere around the home due to being relatively light weight. It has many ports main one I used was HDMI port which easily connects to your TV, which is very good when watching films. It comes with a remote but if connect phone for music, it is easier to control volume and songs via phone app. The bar 300 has a decent amount of bass to it for party's or gatherings. Overall was good to use.

I got this product about a month ago after searching for a long time for a sound bar for my main lounge TV. I have been in the market for a while for a sound bar. I have been really impressed about that bass quality from the product The product arrived promptly and the packaging was secure. Upon installing the product it was very easy to understand and connect to my TV and I am grateful for the simple instructions. Once connected, I was easily able to figure out how to set the audio settings. It was a slight more faff to get the soundbar connected to my wifi though once the process was done, I think it is a great feature that AirPlay is built into this speaker. This was a huge selling play for me. Albeit, it is slower at connecting and would benefit from "Matter" support I think. As for the looks of the device I fear this is lacking; the soundbar definitely does not feel as premium as some other products that I have seen; and does not draw the attention of others in the same way. Though I think that at this price point, it is perfectly acceptable and a handsome product. On the audio quality, the bass is impressive - I was not expecting this and it was more than I expected. Further, the ability to adjust the bass easily through the remote is something that I have greatly appreciated. The mid tones are somewhat more lacking in comparison and have felt marginally drowned out by comparison; I had to turn the bass down from the default to get a glance that I preferred. Overall, this is a great product and I would recommend it to others.

I am testing this JBL 300 soundbar to be able to give a genuine review. The initial setup I thought would be easy. However, despite googling instruction manuals for both my LG TV (only 2 years old) and the JBL soundbar it would not work with the HDMI cable, despite everything being on the correct settings and in the correct port. Luckily I had an optical cable, plugged that in and success. The sound is very good and clear and if you like extra bass it's great. Not sure that it gives surround sound as the side speaks just go sideways. It has a small screen on the front which shows on/off, volume etc but when not in use does not show or have an irritating light. It has an app, useful if you loose the remote control but cannot connect to some services offered as not supported in the UK. However, can connect to other music apps.

Ease of Setup: 4.5/5 Out-of-the-box, the JBL Bar 300 setup is simple. All it took was to plug my power cord and connect to my TV through the HDMI ARC for me to be up and running. It connects seamlessly to other devices via Bluetooth and makes wireless streaming an easy stroll. Design & Build: 4/5 The Bar 300 by JBL achieves an admirable balance of simplicity and style. It is compact, so does not overwhelm the TV Stand, and has a matte finish, which blends nicely with any room décor. With such a brand background for JBL, it is not unusual that the build quality feel seems robust. Sound Quality: 4.5/5 However, it's the sound that the Bar 300 excels at. Its auditory experience is also crystal clear and robust coupled with the purity of voice for movie dialogues. Though not as much earth shaking bass like bigger system subs, this integrated bass ports do an excellent job by making balanced performances that improve anything from action to acoustic shows. Features: 4/5 Additionally, it comes with Airplay, Chromecast, and MRM compatibility for air play, enabling more people, including smart homes, to use it flexibly. While, I have to admit that I kept wishing for an application dedicated solely to adjusting the sounds. There is an illusion of ample space generated by virtual Dolby Atmos; however, true Atmos purists may find this lacking in full immersion.

I have been using JBL products a fair bit recently and haven't been disappointed and this is no different. It has a nice quality feel right from the box, decent packaging and the way the bar itself looks. Simple to set up and without an extra subwoofer makes it even easier, I used the optical cable for sound when I was using it. Sound wise its great, for the money you won't find a lot better I don't think, the built in sun gives a nice punchy bass which fits well with TV and films, a separate sun can obviously give a deeper bass but sometimes that can overpower the sound, with this it always seems like the perfect mix of highs, mids and lows. Very simple to control with the remote and we also synced it to our sky box so we could adjust the volume through there so that was better than having to switch remotes all the time. Overall a good mid range sound bar for those who don't have a massive amount of space but want to hear their TV and films like they were intended to be heard. Reasonably priced and good quality.

It was extremely easy to set up straight out of the box and play for us. I love that it comes with an HDMI and controls itself completely, making it very simple to use. The only downside was that the manual lacked information regarding the function of the heart button on the remote. However, you can press the buttons to figure it out, and the other buttons are very obvious in their functions. The sound quality is impressive, as you can hear everything in the movie as if it's all around you, and the sub can be adjusted for intensity. The Bluetooth connection is simple to use with your phone and can be used as a speaker when you're cleaning or not watching TV. I also appreciate the included mount stencil, making it effortless to attach to your wall under your TV. Overall, it's worth every penny and more and is a nice addition to enhance your TV or movie watching experience.

I have used this soundbar for just over 4weeks, upon opening the box I could tell the quality was good. Packaging was small due to not needing a subwoofer which is fantastic by the way. Setting the soundbar up was easy with a instruction manual to help. I then put on a film which I had watched before without the soundbar. The bass was great, it was like being at the cinema. All round a good soundbar without needing a subwoofer.

This speaker has phenomenal sound quality. This was easy to set up with Bluetooth through the Amazon Fire stick and even connected through my TV which is over a decade old. The quality of sound was amazing; you could not tell that the sound was coming through the speaker but an all-round immersive experience due to the Dolby Atmos. Even the bass really improved the quality which was great. I liked the fact I could also alter the bass volume based on what I was watching. Overall, a top quality product.

I've never had a soundbar before but I've used JBL speakers in the past and loved them. This product is also great. The bass is great, I love the airplay feature so I can connect my phone to it. The sound quality is great in general and I like how it calibrates the room to give the best experience. I would've liked at least one more hdmi port so I can connect other devices such as a CD player along with another device instead of needing to change the hdmi in and out every time to switch device, however there may just be a different model with that. Overall, the product is great, it has great sound quality, I like the connectivity digitally, the bass is good for that compact size, and I like the 3d audio.

This is the first time I opted for a stand-alone soundbar and I have to say I have been very much blown away how sharp, clear and loud this soundbar is. Very good sound indeed! In terms of set up this is as close to plug and play as you can get. Visually it looks great too & has a nice clear minimalistic display.

This soundbar is fantastic. I've had mine for around a month now, and absolutely love it. As soon as I had it setup, I instantly noticed a difference in sound quality to my normal TV speakers. I had been looking at getting a soundbar for quite a while, and this one was definitely the right choice. The Chromecast and Alexa features are really handy too, as my girls love to dance around the living room to various Disney musicals and soundtracks. All in all, a great product. #Reviewclub

Love the way this looks underneath my tv, not wanting something to big to be overbearing in my room. The sounds offers plenty to my gaming experience on my PS5 with the bass being noticeable improvement, plenty of options available to customise the experience via an app. Very easy to setup using ARC on my Samsung TV so everything works seamless with my viewing habits. This sound bar won't disappoint for those looking for a small compact option for their living space.

After having my old tv for 15 years I bought a new tv but was disappointed with the sound quality. I bought this sound bar in the hope that I would be able to get much bette sound with my new tv and it has been great! I am not techy and I was worried about setting it up but it was very easy to set up and connect to the tv. The sound quality is also great and I feel like I am finally satisfied with my new media set up. I also am pleased with how the sound bar looks. It's a good size and looks smart under our tv. I am so pleased that I got this, problem is that I now want one for my other TV too!! Would recommend

Once I received the box I got a bit worried that the sound bar is far bigger than the space I envisioned for it - I shouldn't have worried! Although not the most compact, it sits wonderfully underneath my TV and you soon forget it is there. I was a bit comprehensive of a soundbar/sound system without standalone subwoofer but was quickly proven wrong - the bass is definitely present and audio is clear in conversations on screen. My living room is not big and the Dolby Atmos (via the HDMI port) sounds really well (perhaps bounces off the walls in the small space). Definitely louder and clearer sound than what I expected it would be able to achieve! Setup/calibration is quick and easy (I didn't even use the app at first). One thing I am not a big fan of is that JBL seem to have a different app for each product (currently own two different models JBL headphones) rather than one to consolidate all - can get annoying if you have multiple JBL devices to connect your phone to (2 is bearable for now). App can be used as remote, so handy when your toddler constantly loses these around the house!

Really holds its own. I was concerned about the bass levels but it does a great job and delivering deep bass when required. The surround sound it pretty good too. The speech quality is great. JBL do something special which makes everything feel balanced and clear. In a nutshell you get rich, clear, crisp sound quality underpinned by good rich bass which is just enough.

This soundbar looked really good as it came out of the box and it didn't disappoint. The set up was uncomplicated, downloading the app made it even easier. The sound quality from my cd's is really good I like being able to connect it to my Alexa too

I purchased the BAR 300 and I am really happy with it. I need a sub to balance the bass but the bar is a great start. Has nice surround sound and it is top quality. JBL has been around for a very long time and make great sounding speakers.

I have been using this product for around 2 weeks, it took me alittle time to set it up as it's all done though the app via your phone and WiFi. However I watch alot of films so was easily installed via the hdmi cable and select TV on the soundbar and away you go. Although the bass could do with going higher for me as I have a very large living room but I wasn't disappointed with the 3d sound. It's also easy to set your phone up for Bluetooth and play your Amazon music though. A added bonus if you ever lose the remote you can use your mobile in the app as a remote too which I thought was a fab idea as having kids the remotes gets lost quite frequently. But overall a great little product

JBL dissapointed me. I just bought the 300 BAR and 1st issue was trying to read the small print user manual/ instructions. Then 2nd issue was trying to set up the item, setting up the wifi network was not easy. Then it went into update mode for which I received "failed" message on the app so I chose "try later". These were only the minor dissapointments. The big let down is the sound itself. While it has enough bass for a small bedroom like mine, it drowns all the actors speach in the movies. Reducing the bass level seems to sort marginally the isue but then whats the point having bass at all? It lacks frequencies separation and voice clarity settings, so JBL bar300 is a dissapointmemt. It states 5 speakers but you get only 3 in reality, as 2 are pointed pointlessly sideways and you have to stand sideways to hear better the actor voices. Also Dolby Atmos button on remote seemes doing nothing really, says "unsupported" when pressed. The voices are drowned and sound weak in the overall sound emitted by the bar. Look for other brands if you want good movie experience, I will most likely return mine. Bad points: weak and unclear voices The good points: great music sound.

I was pretty impressed with the sound right off the bat since the Bar 300 is smaller than other sound bars I've owned before. Bass is pretty solid for not having a subwoofer and dialogue audio was clear when watching movies. Setup / calibration is super straightforward, even without downloading the app. Speaking of which, this is my third JBL app (headphones, portable speakers, and now sound bar). It would be really nice if JBL just consolidated all of these into a single one-stop app for all devices. Other than good sound quality and volume, it's cool that brackets for wall mounting are included, haven't experienced that before. Packaging was also mostly plastic free, which I appreciated. Really happy overall with the sound bar.

Took just a few seconds to setup. Installation guide was easy to understand and follow. Sounds was amazing as usual with JBL. Love having this quality of sound in my bedroom. Wonderful sound. Hooked into my tv with the HDMI auper easy.
