Reviews
Customer Reviews for JBL Bar 300 5.0 Channel Compact All-In-One Soundbar with Multibeam and Dolby Atmos Surround Sound Technology
After getting the Bar 300 fixed to my TV mount, the rest of the setup was a cinch. I used a Digital Optical cable to connect my Bar 300 to my PC. My PC is able to output Dolby Digital at 192kHz to the Bar 300 and it sounds fantastic. On the Bar 300, I adjusted the bass to the max, level 5, and didn't adjust any other equalizer settings. I also allowed the soundbar to automatically calibrate before listening to any music. Afterwards, I listened to my favorite demo song, Comfortably Numb and was blown away. I was surprised at the bass the Bar 300 provides without a subwoofer. It also clearly presented the high notes with great clarity. Watching Twitch streams allows the Dialogue Enhancement tech to really shine. Broadcasters now come through over the gameplay and music without being muffled.
Overall the Bar 300 is a great compact sound bar that brings JBL's high quality sound to the living room.

The review will be broken into likes, dislikes and perceived sound quality and a conclusion
Starting with the likes, Once out of the shipping box gently surprised there was a carry handle for transport. Packaging as expected.
Out of the box the weight of the unit said quality. The finish and the seams were even.
Placed in front of my 50" TV visually acceptable. Would work very well with a 40" TV.
Plug in the power cable, the optical cable, download the app on my phone and go. Nothing unusual, just normal including the running of my music streaming service via blue-tooth. Hey a three band equalizer in the app.
The LED panel under the material on the right side is to me a wonderful upgrade. Looking I know the volume level, the status, etc. The included HDMI cable looked to be decent. And the mounting brackets black painted steel. And a mounting guide!
Now for the dislikes. First I would like to see a 3.5mm audio input. Would be helpful with older TV's.
Within the phone app I wish there was a volume control. Not really needed, but…
Sound evaluation, I LIKE IT!!!!!
TV for me is primarily the spoken word. Maybe a musical now and again or a music video here and there. The spoken word is now so much more intelligible. Which makes it so much easier to follow along be it a movie, a news cast, documentary, or whatever. And at volumes louder than I care to listen.
I should also point out where I sit in relationship to the BAR 300 very little change in audio quality.
The musicals or music video are not by any means flat toned. Vocals are predominate and the actual music is kind of reduced. This is a give to get vocals easily understood. Gives anything with music a different yet pleasing texture.
Overall a pleasant addition to my setup and glad it is there and being used everyday.
