Our take on the JBL Bar 5.0 MultiBeam

The JBL Bar 5.0 MultiBeam is a compact all-in-one soundbar with no separate subwoofer. It uses five channels and beamforming to simulate surround sound, and it supports Dolby Atmos, Wi-Fi, AirPlay, Chromecast and Bluetooth. It suits people who want clearer TV sound and a wider soundstage in a small room without adding a sub or rear speakers. Against rivals it trades deep bass for a slim, simple setup, and reviewers say it is easy to live with but light on low end.

Can I stream music to it?
Yes. It supports AirPlay, Chromecast and Bluetooth, so you can cast from phones and computers. Bluetooth is version 4.2.
How many HDMI inputs does it have?
One HDMI input with 4K pass-through and eARC. You connect one source to the bar and pass video to the TV.
How big is it?
It is about 27.9 inches wide, 2.3 inches tall and 3.9 inches deep, and weighs about 6.2 pounds. It fits under most TVs.

Yes. Automatic calibration adjusts the sound to your room, and a remote is included.
