Review on Sound Bar JBL Cinema SB160 Black by Stanisaw Muter ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Just a terrible product, very upset.

I purchased this soundbar for my TV, but unfortunately, I have had a string of bad luck with it. First, the board stopped working, and I had to take it in to have it repaired. Then, my TV refused to recognize it when connected via HDMI, so I had to connect it using Toslink. I examined the sound after the repair (which is a shame because I got it from the JBL store), and everything is perfect, which satisfies the fundamental requirement. Given the price of this equipment (if we collect reductions, then I obtained a price in the range of 10.5), there are few worthy competitors in terms of performance qualities. The sound has a lot of bass in it. There may be occasions when it seems as though there is an excessive amount of bass; this is something that may be controlled using the equalization settings. The soundbar is equipped with all of the essential communication technologies, including HDMI, Toslink, and Bluetooth. Of the key disadvantages, I think the absence of a volume level indicator . It would appear that this problem should not occur when connected via HDMI; yet, it does occur when other protocols are used. Adjustable according to your aural preferences) other than that, it's worth the money, especially when it comes to replacing the normal sound with something more. ate: I recently upgraded my television and connected it using HDMI. Following the repair, after a period of two months, I passed away - the television ceased to recognize it, and only clicks occurred while switching to the HDMI source. It would appear that the board has failed once more. After ensuring that everything was in order in the evening, they proceeded to turn it off, and in the morning, they found that nothing had changed. It's a shame that this gadget is unreliable.

Pros
  • The cost and the aural quality (especially bass)
Cons
  • A highly unreliable thing in terms of its construction (further specifics may be found in the accompanying comment), indication of connection, and sound level, it died two months after being repaired.
