Review on JBL BAR5.0 5-Channel Multibeam Soundbar | Dolby Atmos Virtual | Grey/Black Color by Chai Charoen ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A high-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

Of course, it's stupid to expect Dolby Atmos from a (comparatively) small speaker, albeit with many speakers inside, and all this software processing of sound reflections from surfaces to create virtual surround sound, IMHO, nothing more than marketing, but I did not count on it. However, it more than met my expectations. The built-in tweeters of the TV, it is not clear where directed (down? to the sides? behind the TV?), did not stand next to this device. The sound when watching movies has become juicy, detailed. The rustle of leaves, the sound of rain and thunder in one scene are heard as independent sounds, and not as a common mass. And of course the dialogues - they have become clearer. If the film is recorded with at least 5.1 sound - the voice of the actors is usually output to the center channel, unless otherwise provided by the sound stage, and when the TV processor tries to reduce 5.1 to 2.0 from its stereo - sometimes it is sad, the voices drown in the general background. Now there is no such problem.

Pros
  • Compact, functional.
Cons
  • No.
