The JBL Bar 500 is a 5.1-channel soundbar with a wireless 10-inch subwoofer, Dolby Atmos decoding and JBL's MultiBeam beam-steering for a wider soundstage without rear speakers. It has one HDMI eARC port, optical input, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi with AirPlay and Chromecast, and Alexa Multi-Room Music. It suits people who want strong bass and easy streaming from a two-box setup, but it lacks the true rear-channel immersion of soundbars that ship with satellites. Reviewers rate it well for movie punch and bass depth, while some find the single HDMI input limiting and the Atmos effect modest.
