Nice product

After plenty of research I went for the JBL bar 800, and I was not a bit disappointed. The JBL sounbar has features of other high end soundbars like the bose and the sonos but with a fraction of the price... The sound bar was very easy to pair with my Samsung QLED Tv via the eARC HDMI connection and it operates as one with the TV, opens and shuts down together, and volume can be controlled from the TV, thus no need to use two separate remote controls. The TV immediately identified the soundbar as a Dolby Atmos enabled sounds system. The bar + the bass module + the rear speakers deliver an excellent immersive experience, similar to the high end systems out there. Yes I would highly recommend.

love it easy to connect just i thing be aware of if one back speaker not quite charged thay dont just leave them on charge longer took a few tine to figer out how ti do sound check the sound is amazing want another one my partner that nomale says she cant not tell diffrens she did eith this one i found the bracket instruments a bit lacking in bocklet at about level sond 20 its too lound for 15 x 15 room spoken words and base clear dose not seem to be any sound stage clipping i think remote could be nicer so yes get one u wont regret it .

Am really enjoying the sound system. The doby amos is a top notch . Thanks a million

Very easy install and gives a great sound. The sub is powerful and the independent speaker design works.

Took delivery of the bar 800 with anticipation and excitement following a renovation of a conservatory wanted something unobtrusive but would deliver good cinema and music sound so following trying the Klipsch cinema 600 which was fantastic (see my other review) for the money lacked surround and Dolby atmos so decided on the bar 800 with detachable surround speakers. The bar 800 looks good a fair size which almost stretched the length of a 55 inch tv, the functionality was very good with a display of selected source and volume, the detachable battery surround speakers is a great idea as you don’t need separate power to each speaker and they last ages between charges ! The JBL app is really good with eq and enough info to set up easily ! This unfortunately is where the good news ends the most important thing is the sound, which I found to be lack lustre, sound stage was poor, separation of instruments, voices and anything remotely complex ended up muddled and unclear !!. The treble lacked brightness and clarity with most things, also the midrange did not expand or envelope the listener, the bass lacked drive and haughtiness but become overpowering and boomy, there were no issues with loudness or room shaking however it was all abit haphazard and clumsy also the adjustment for the bass could be so much better, instead of going from 1 - 5 with not much change until you go from 4 - 5 ended up being unruly !! As with many manufactures it would be better to have a negative and positive scale to select from !! The Dolby atmos does work and with separate speakers sounds do wiz’s around you with height effects again I felt abit let down and with the idea other brands would sound better it is shame as I like JBL stuff but the overall sound of this soundbar lets it down !! I sent the bar 800 back as £650 is a lot of money so I went for a Sonos beam gen 2 and mini sub wow the there is a compete and significant difference in sound between the bar 800 and Sonos all the above issues with the bar 800 have been solved in an even more discrete package, the beam 2 does not even have upward firing speakers and there is better Dolby atmos effects on offer with the Sonos in my opinion !!
