  • Wireless subwoofer

CONS

  • Could use more EQ controls and/or audio modes
  • Not a true surround system
JBL recently expanded itsĀ soundbarĀ lineup to include some intriguing 2.1 systems. The $499.95 JBL Bar 5.1 Surround fits somewhat in the middle in terms of pricing, and is not to be confused with the non-surround JBL Bar 5.1. This version consists of a single soundbar and a large subwoofer. Its surround capabilities are of the virtual varietyā€”this isn’t a true 5.1 surround system with rear channels, but it does utilize “multibeam” technology in an attempt to fill the room with immersive, theater-like audio. The bass capabilities here are strong, though we wish there were more adjustable EQ options and/or listening modes. For the price, this is a solid system, but those seeking true surround or serious power may want to explore other options.

Design

The Bar 5.1 Surround is available in a matte dark gray, with a main soundbar that measures 2.3 by 40.0 by 3.9 inches (HWD) and weighs 6.2 pounds, and a wireless subwoofer that measures 17.3 by 12.0 by 12.0 inches and weighs 23.4 pounds. The two pieces link up automatically when powered up. The bar can sit flat on a tabletop, or be mounted on a wall with the supplied brackets and screws. The front face is all metallic speaker grille, with a white LED readout that tells you what sound source you’re connected to.

Behind the grille, the soundbar employs five racetrack-style drivers and two side-firing 1.25-inch tweeters delivering 5 channels of 50 watts each, while the 300-watt sub utilizes a 10-inch down-firing woofer, as well as a bass port on the rear panel for efficient air movement. The system as a whole delivers 550 watts and a frequency range of 40Hz-20kHz.

There are connections across the back panel of the soundbar for HDMI (video in for 4K resolution pass-through), HDMI ARC (TV), optical, USB (for both service and audio playback), and the included power cable. The subwoofer has a power/pairing button on its rear panel, just above the connection for the included power cable. There’s an HDMI cable included, but no optical cable.

Movie Performance

Blade Runner 2049‘s crash scene, in which Ryan Gosling falls from the sky in something that looks like a military-grade Lamborghini that flies, features multiple explosions and gunshots. Through the Bar 5.1 Surround, they sound modest at low and mid bass levels, and powerful at high. So for movies, especially the kind that pack a lot of low-end like this one, both in sound effects and in the score itself, you’re going to want to maximize the subwoofer’s output. The dialogue is clear and crisp, and even with the sub at max, there’s a solid balance between lows and highs.
