A classic home theater, ideal for beginners
The JBL Bar 500 is a home theater set that combines a sound bar and a wireless subwoofer, here we have a 5.1 channel audio setup. Counting the subwoofer, we have a total of eight speakers, the sound bar has seven, five are directed towards the viewer and the other two are on the sides. On the other hand, there’s no vertical spatialization, but the JBL Bar 500 still has game-changing MultiBeam surround sound that we’ll discuss below.
The set is classic, of course, but if you’ve never owned a soundbar, this model is ideal for beginners. On the one hand, you can easily configure it by pairing it from your smartphone through the JBL One application and the audio calibration can be carried out automatically according to the characteristics of your room. On the other hand, it is easy to install. The subwoofer is wireless, so you won’t have cables trailing all over your living room.
A sound bar that has some in the trunk
The JBL Bar 500 delivers a punchy 590W RMS power, including 300W for the subwoofer, so it will suit both small and large living rooms thanks to acoustic calibration. This home theater uses several technologies, firstly the compatibility with Dolby Atmos that offers 3D surround sound and PureVoice, a JBL exclusive technology that improves the clarity of dialogues and voices. We were also talking about the MultiBeam, another JBL exclusive that uses the reverb from your walls and bounces the sound to the four corners of the room. So you can do without the rear speakers.
Even if this soundbar is in the mid-range, everything is done to keep you immersed in your movie without the need for vertical spatialization. Thanks to the HDMI input supporting UHD 4K transmissions, the JBL Bar 500 can also be used for watching movies, listening to music and even during gaming sessions. The connection also includes a USB-A port and an optical port. Finally, the soundbar can act as a connected speaker since it is Bluetooth enabled and is compatible with various voice assistants such as Alexa, Siri and the Google assistant.
