Not the best quality, but overall not bad.

Everything described is not the glitches of a particular instance, but the features of the model - judging by similar reviews on the forums.

Technical support in the states of the level "check if the cord is plugged into the outlet", if the cord is plugged in, then further unsubscribe "We are still waiting for the response from our product specialist once we have the details here we will ate you as soon as possible." for half a year on the case of the chromecast vulnerability, it was not possible to achieve at least some adequate feedback.

In general, for the money there are no alternatives. Junk But Loud.

Pros

Price (for a promotion with cashbacks it turned out about 52k), compactness, a subwoofer at maximum speed can destroy walls, rears in the kit. Sound (judging by the reviews and comparative tests on specialized sites - one of the best soundbars, but for me, the Chinese edifier 5.1 15 years ago plays nicer).

Cons

Somewhere 2-3 times a week, you have to consistently distort the food, because. mibox s connected via the soundbar cannot set the normal resolution - after rebooting the soundbar everything returns to normal. If you pass the sound through eARC, then sometimes there may be unpleasant clicks at full volume when you stop watching the video (Samsung Q95T TV). Sometimes (about once a month) the soundbar hangs completely - no reaction to the remote control or external source - it is also treated with a reboot. It is impossible to fine-tune the volume of the subwoofer or rear - only 5 presets. If you watch a video with normal stereo sound, then the virtual atmosphere (spreading the sound on the "ceiling" speakers) makes the sound of the dialogues muffled, like from a closed car. It is impossible to turn it off by default, and to turn it off you need to hold down the Mute button for 5 seconds, then press the + button and repeat after each turn on. If the rears are not connected to the charging, then they are turned off and they must be turned on with the button. When connected to micro-usb charging, sometimes a low battery warning is issued, although in fact a charge of 80-90% is a glitch in transmitting charge data. Probably some kind of lossy codec is used to transmit sound to the rear. in the rear, compression noises are heard during silence (including on high-bitrate true hd atmos audio without compression). There is no setting app, only google home curve for firmware ate. The soundbar out of the box (new, in its original packaging, never opened) had light scratches on the top - judging by the reviews, it can be worse. But the most game is the presence of chromecast audio without authorization, i. E. if your soundbar is not connected to wifi, then anyone can connect to the soundbar and start broadcasting anything and anytime through it. If there is a connection to wifi, then attackers can also do this using deauth. There are tons of videos and articles on the web about this vulnerability (chromecast audio deauth vulnerability), but JBL doesn't seem to care.
