Discover the power of the JBL Bar 500 multi-function entertainment speaker

JBL Bar 500 helps upgrade TV sound quality

Compact design

The JBL Bar 500 is a long soundbar with a separate 10-inch wireless subwoofer. At just over a meter wide and about 5.6 centimeters tall, it fits under most TVs 50 inches or larger. This width also helps improve stereo sound.

The sides are covered by a simple metal grille, behind which is an LED information display. The top is made of plastic, with the middle part recessed from the rest of the surface, with the JBL logo in the middle with two mic holes on either side. The right side has three control buttons and an LED indicator.

The JBL Bar 500 includes a long soundbar with wireless subwoofers.

The JBL Bar 500 includes a large subwoofer that is 44cm high and 30.5cm wide and deep. Users can place this subwoofer anywhere in the room, including mounting it neatly on the wall via a bracket, and the speaker will automatically connect wirelessly to the soundbar.

Diverse connections

The JBL Bar 500 offers HDMI output connections, as well as a variety of options and settings via the JBL One app. The speaker also supports Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, and Chromecast, as well as Spotify Connect and Alexa. While there's no Apple Music support, users can take advantage of AirPlay 2 music streaming.

The connection ports on the JBL Bar 500 are quite diverse.

The soundbar also offers two options for connecting to your TV: an optical digital input and HDMI with eARC, which delivers 3D surround sound in the form of Dolby Atmos. The HDMI will help you connect to your game console or Blu-ray player, and it supports 4K HDR. There's also a USB-A port, and you can download firmware updates from JBL by saving the file to a memory card or through the app.

Additionally, the speaker also supports Wi-Fi 6 as well as Bluetooth 5.0. Users are provided with a separate remote control and 4 dedicated buttons for special functions, one of which is for Dolby Vision to turn on/off virtual surround sound, or a heart button to specify favorite sounds in the JBL app.

The JBL Bar 500 can be controlled by the JBL One smartphone app, which gives users options for the soundbar as well as access to streaming services and radio stations. Settings also include sound adjustments via a basic three-band equalizer, and users can start to tune the sound from here.

JBL Bar 500 can be controlled by the JBL One app on your smartphone.

If you prefer, you can use the app as a regular remote control, with the buttons appearing as small areas on the touchscreen. If you have an older TV with a lag between video and audio, you will have the option to compensate for the audio using a slider to achieve the perfect match.

Sound quality

The JBL Bar 500 sounds great even without the subwoofer. Dialogue, in particular, is front and center, and voices sound natural and clear. Even at bass level 1, users experience powerful sound. And at level 5, the bass starts to come alive. Based on experience, bass level 20 is considered perfect for watching action movies. For general needs, level 3 is suitable.

The audio experience from the JBL Bar 500 is "incredible"

One thing users should know is that the JBL Bar 500 does not have separate rear speaker support. It offers Dolby Atmos and MultiBeam surround sound - a feature that simulates a surround sound effect by bouncing sound in specific directions so that it bounces off walls and ceilings. The result is a much more immersive experience than a standard soundbar. Many movies and TV shows now support Dolby Atmos, so that's one reason to buy this soundbar.

Overall, the JBL Bar 500 will deliver a superior audio experience compared to TV speakers and of course budget soundbars. It has a lot of options for connecting devices and provides powerful bass with a spacious soundstage. The reference price of 14.9 million VND is suitable for people who want to upgrade their TV sound.
