The JBL Bar 500 delivers cinematic surround sound and impactful bass in a relatively compact package. Setup is easy, and the bar and sub take up less room than a system with lots of speakers. It's a great instant upgrade for your movies, TV and games.

The sound bar reflects sound off your walls and ceilings to create a realistic surround sound experience, including overhead effects from Dolby Atmos-encoded tracks, and the subwoofer makes sure the low-frequency effects are heard (and even felt). The Bar 500 adapts its sound to your room using its calibration tool. The result is quite a dramatic difference from your TV's built-in speakers, especially with how crystal-clear dialogue comes through.
The Bar 500 makes music sound great also. You can stream music to it from your phone using Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2, or Chromecast from your favorite streaming service.
