Our take on the JBL BAR 500 MK2 5.1 Channel Soundbar System with AudioQuest Sky 3m HDMI Cable

The JBL BAR 500 MK2 is a 5.1 soundbar system: a bar with five racetrack drivers and tweeters plus a 10-inch wireless subwoofer, rated 450 W nominal and 750 W max. It supports Dolby Atmos, MultiBeam 3.0 surround processing and PureVoice 2.0 dialogue enhancement, and streams over Bluetooth 5.3 or dual-band Wi-Fi. The bundle adds a 3 m AudioQuest Sky HDMI cable. At $399.95 at eBay as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range.

Pros
  • 10-inch wireless subwoofer gives strong low-end for the size
  • Dolby Atmos decoding plus MultiBeam 3.0 widening
  • PureVoice 2.0 lifts dialogue on quiet TV mixes
  • Bluetooth 5.3 and dual-band Wi-Fi cover phones and streaming
  • Wall-mountable bar; sub needs only power
Cons
  • 5.1, not 7.1.4: no up-firing height channels, so Atmos is virtual
  • No HDMI 2.1 passthrough or second HDMI input
  • Subwoofer is large and heavy at 8.1 kg
  • No room calibration mentioned; placement matters
  • Bundled HDMI cable adds cost some buyers don't need

Rated 5 out of 5 from 309 ratings, buyers are positive about the system overall. Complaints center on the subwoofer's size and the fact that Atmos effects stay simulated rather than overhead.

What people mention
  • BassPraisedOwners say the 10-inch subwoofer delivers bass well beyond what the bar alone suggests.
  • DialoguePraisedPureVoice 2.0 is credited with making speech clear on movies and news.
  • AtmosMixedBuyers note Atmos works but stays simulated, with little sense of overhead sound.
  • SetupPraisedThe wireless subwoofer pairs quickly and the bar mounts easily.
  • SizeCriticisedThe subwoofer's 8.1 kg, 400 mm-tall cabinet is bigger than some buyers expected.
  • InputsCriticisedA single HDMI input limits how many sources can connect directly.

Questions and answers

Is the JBL BAR 500 MK2 worth it at $399.95?
At $399.95 at eBay as of November 7, 2026, it is a fair price for a 5.1 bar with a 10-inch sub. You get Atmos decoding and Wi-Fi, but not true height channels.
Does it have real up-firing Atmos speakers?
No. The bar uses MultiBeam 3.0 to widen the sound, so Atmos effects are simulated rather than coming from overhead drivers.
How does it connect to my TV?
Over a single HDMI cable from the TV's eARC or ARC port; the bundle includes a 3 m AudioQuest Sky cable. The subwoofer connects wirelessly and needs only power.
Can I stream music to it?
Yes. It has Bluetooth 5.3 and dual-band Wi-Fi, so you can cast from phones and tablets or use it with voice-assistant-enabled speakers.
How big is the subwoofer?
It is about 400 mm tall and 325 mm deep and weighs 8.1 kg, so plan for floor space near an outlet.
