I’d Stay Away 1 out of 5 rating

donb2 . 17 days ago

Soundbar has very tinny sound, no mid-range. Subwoofer over-powers everything. Disabling Smart mode does not help hearing voices at all. Music sounds better if you blast it, but I cannot do that where I live. This product could really use an EQ.Report as inappropriate

Customer Support – 16 days ago

Thank you for your feedback. To isolate the issue with your JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass (MK2), please try performing a power cycle. To do this, unplug both the soundbar and the TV. This will reset the devices and clear any temporary issues that might be causing problems. Check your TV’s settings and change the digital output audio format to PCM or Dolby Digital. You can refer to your TV manual. If you need more help, please contact us.

A Piece of Trash That Cant Handle Human Speech 1 out of 5 rating

vangog . 4 months ago

Avoid this soundbar at all costs. The JBL Bar 2.1 is a deeply flawed piece of trash that fails at the most basic function of a soundbar reproducing spoken dialogue. While it handles music and background noise without issue, it consistently drops or clips entire words or sentences whenever theres clear, standalone human speech, such as in documentaries, news, or any dialogue-heavy content. This happens even when the voice is loud and clear, not just during quiet passages. The result? Im stuck watching shows with subtitles ON because the soundbar simply refuses to play half the dialogue.Ive tested this across multiple TV sets, inputs (HDMI ARC and optical), formats, and sources and the issue is always the same. Its clearly a design flaw in JBLs signal detection or audio processing. There are no settings to fix it. No firmware update resolves it. And JBL support has nothing to offer except useless suggestions to switch cables which changes nothing.This is not a minor inconvenience. This is a crippling flaw that makes the product literally unfit for its advertised purpose. Unless youre only interested in hearing explosions or background scores, this soundbar will leave you guessing what people actually said.A soundbar that cant play voices is not a soundbar its just a broken speaker in a fancy box. Absolute garbage.Report as inappropriate

Would not buy 1 out of 5 rating

Unsatisfieduser . 7 months ago

JBL 2.1 Deep Bass soundbar. Just stopped working after 2 years. Actual sound bar will not power on. Not used very much and was installed by geek squad. So no user error with installation. Of course the warranty is only good for a year.Report as inappropriate

Feel The Music! 5 out of 5 rating

Healda . 1 year ago

Purchased this set from a retailer. I am loving it so much! My wallet dictated what JBL set I could get and I am very happy with it. I listen to Techno/Dub pretty much all day and this set is amazing. Looking now to get a JBL Turntable. I am a sucker for vinyl.Report as inappropriate

No Sound Menu or Equalizer 2 out of 5 rating

Bobbby123456 . 2 years ago

I give 2 stars instead of 0 because these speakers do sound good but are only configured according to JBL. There is no menu for different sounds or be able to tune what I am listening to my ears or taste. Menu says TV and that’s it. Unless the device transmitting the sound has a graphic equalizer, you’re stuck with the tuning of the sound bar.Report as inappropriate

Great Living Room/Bedroom System 5 out of 5 rating

Brandon S . 2 years ago

I bought 2 of the MK2 2.1 Deep Bass systems, one for our living room and 1 for the bedroom. Our living room isnt very deep but long. This system has been perfect for what I was looking for. Its plenty loud and detailed sound with great, punchy bass. This is probably over powered for a bedroom but I loved the sound so much, had to get 2. Im using the ARC set up via HDMI. Very happy with the performance.Report as inappropriate
