Our take on the JBL Bar-500 5.1ch Soundbar with 2 Year Amber Protection (2022)

The JBL Bar 500 is a 5.1-channel soundbar system with a wireless 10-inch subwoofer, rated at 590W total. It supports Dolby Atmos and MultiBeam virtual surround, plus Dolby Vision and HDR10 passthrough over HDMI eARC. It suits people who want big bass and Atmos from a two-piece setup without rear speakers. Against rivals like the Sonos Beam and Samsung Q-series bars, it trades true rear-channel surround for a larger sub and more raw output.
