Product Information
Explosive sound and fully-featured music streaming make the JBL Bar 500 the perfect soundbar for all your movies, gaming and music playback.
Immersive sound, without the speakers
Featuring a multi-speaker array with MultiBeam Surround Sound and Dolby Atmos, the JBL Bar 500 effortlessly envelopes you in sound – without extra speakers. A dedicated subwoofer delivers to full force of the movie’s or game’s soundtrack. For the widest choice of wireless music compatibility, you also get AirPlay, Chromecast, wi-fi and Alexa Multi-Room Music.
MultiBeam and Dolby Atmos of immersive sound
With its multi-speaker array and MultiBeam Surround Sound processing the Bar 500 immerses you in sound. Dolby Atmos compatibility further enhances the spec, giving film soundtracks the three-dimensional body that you get at the cinema.
Separate sub for powerful JBL sound
For a truly cinematic feel, the Bar 500 uses a separate subwoofer. With its 10-inch woofer, this JBL’s punch is leagues ahead of a typical TV. The bass is also precise and punchy, so that soundtracks are driven along with real attack. The wireless connection keeps the clutter down too.
