Sounded nice while it worked. Died in 15 months. Barely used. Customer service basically told me to fly a kite and send it for evaluation at my expense. Looks like a common issue.

I bought this on sale 2 weeks ago and the sound quality is phenomenal whether it is low volume or high volume, it's very clear and best sound quality.

Beyond my expectations for beginners like me, no high-end receiver nor amp. just connected from 3.5" studio monitors sub-out to this well made 50 pounds SUB. The bass full filled my living room. I used party 310 after listening compare between these. I switched out party 310, cause 3.5" with SUB 550p made much better in high and low range, very clear in detail and I'm happy with it. Highly recommend this SUB 550p.

Just received this JBL 550P Subwoofer and love it. The sound is tight and musical. It can sound thunderous at high levels and controlled at low volumes. I like it more than the SVS-1000 I had. For the price I feel like I stole it. Also, the whole process of purchasing and shipping direct from Jbl could not have been better. I'm impressed.

Bought direct from harmon for a 11x13x8 room. The 550p sounds tight, controlled with great slam when playing jazz or rock this subwoofer integrates well worth every penny

The thing is heavy and powerful. I bought it because wireless subs are far too one dimensional, and I'm happy with this beast. It also looks aesthetically pleasing next to my TV stand.

Beginner's subwoofer. Sounds above average for the price. My Denon 760H seems to stress it pretty hard so I have to dial down the gain.

Excellent sun for both home theater and an audiophile. Responds terrific to both digital and analog inputs. Could not believe the sale price at 189.00

Hi, i bought this JBL Sub (second one) and i am satisfied. I own the 2-Studio 590, 2-Sub 550P, the surround Studio 210. I have my old L-80 JBL for my other room by about 35 year's. All to say that JBL is JBL for me. Never disappointed.

I bought this a month ago and needed a line output converter (KICKER) to hook up to B speakers on my vintage Marantz 2225 receiver paired with 1973 Klipsch Heresy (A) speakers. I was hoping for more response. Even on full gain with the main speakers off, there isn't much sound. Everything seems to be functioning on the sub. Maybe you have some tips for me?? Thanks!

I purchased this to replace my Yamaha sub that finally had enough! I have not been disappointed. It fits in nicely with my system and has controls that exceeded my expectations.

Received today Dead on Arrival Very disappointed, returning for refund, will never buy from JBL again, and the rest of my setup is all JBL Decade L26, Center channel, Control Ones for surround. This subwoofer had great reviews. Too bad ZERO stars can't be a review. Angry! This beast is 60 lbs and I'm older than this weighs! Lugging it to a UPS store... geez.

I bought two when they were on sale in 2021. One arrived damaged and was replaced. Two years later one of them has died and is out of warranty. It was advised I should have it serviced in NY or Texas. I live in MN and will not be shipping this beast to Texas or NY. Pretty disappointed with the product

Great subwoofer. Made this purchase as a 2nd subwoofer to my surround system, & dollop for dollar, this product is a home run. Great functionality, & well built. LFE connectivity is awesome! The only downside I could speak of is size (but that's being picky). It's a little bigger than what I imagined, however, it earns the space it takes 2 to 3 fold by putting out incredible low frequencies. I have mine turned up to around the 50% mark, & the whole room shakes when the low frequencies come out! I would highly recommend!

I bought this to replace a very big paradigm subwoofer that was too large for our new downsized home. The JBL sound quality is excellent

The absolute best bang for the buck in the whole subwoofer world, a crisp non booming tone, I actually gave away my klipsch sub 30 minetes after plugging this in.

When I received my brand new sub it did not turn on out of the box. I had to return it.

I own two 10" subs but when I saw the 550 on sale, I couldn't resist. Goes great with my JBL Mk III'S. Highly recommended. Hi-Res bass has never sounded better!

I bought this sub as soon as I saw it at almost 70% discount. Too good to be true but it really is. I'm just wondering why they're selling this unit refurbished for double the price of a brand new one? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Anyhow I bought one at first to try. This sub solid. At 50 pounds with a huge enclosure for a sealed sub is rare. That's why it performs very well. Formerly priced at $600 and now selling it for $189 with free shipping and return. Het it now while supply last. I'm guessing they put this on sale because few are buying it due to its size and weight especially the trend right now is down sizing for the average Joe's. But for enthusiasts, this sub is awesome with an artistically designed front speaker cover/grill. It looks elegant in any room. This sub is not meant to be hidden but showcased for anyone to see and appreciate. These 2 subs are an addition to my two 15" bass reflex front subs which a bit lacking in accuracy. Now I have 2 front subs and another two at the back of my seat. Which made my set up from 11.2 to 11.4 Dolby Atmos set up. Don't miss out on this sub. It looks so good and performs so well that I bought another one after a week. ????

I have been looking for that distinctive thump that you can feel in your gut and I found it in this one. I tried about six ported ones and immediately returned all of them. Then I tried my first non ported sub the 550 jbl and BANG, this is what I wanted. Sound that you can feel when you're in the mood. I loved it so much I bought another and then another. 2 for the front room and 1 for the bedroom. After I save up a little I'd like to have 1 more for my work shop. You can put them anywhere because there's no port, but they are very heavy. Shipping was fast also. It was the first time I bought JBL and I am very happy with them.

This is a 'pretty big' unit that has boosted both my stereo and television response in a lofted but mid-sized living room. It is more than adequate for this room of about 18' x 20' with 16 foot ceiling. Controls were sufficient to zero in without being over my head. An awesome bargain.

great sound!

I bought this Sub 550p to replace and existing component and it handles the low bass very well.
GREAT ADDITION TO MY SOUND BAR
By mcba
I purchased this sub to add to my Yamaha YAS-106 sound bar. Had enjoyed the sound bar but was looking for a fuller sound and some effects on movies. I am very pleased with the addition of the JBL sub to my sound bar. It filled out the sound and added the bottom that I was looking for. Simple set up....just plug and play really.
