Experience the rich audio of 4K movies with this 2.1-channel JBL Cinema sound bar. It lets you connect multiple devices with its three HDMI inputs for A/V components and gaming consoles, and it also has Bluetooth connectivity for streaming music. The 200W wireless subwoofer of this JBL Cinema sound bar provides the powerful bass that high-impact action scenes require.

Bought this to add some more bass to my 4k movies. Boy did I pick the right one! The sound is nice and clear and the 8" woofer will shake the entire house if you want it to. I keep the bass turned down a bit and it sounds perfect. Just enough to feel but not enough to hurt your ears.
Installation and setup was super easy, taking only a few minutes. The soundbar and woofer were paired from the factory so they worked together as soon as they were plugged in. There is a pair button in case the connection gets lost. No need to put all of your HDMI inputs into the bar, just keep them in your TV and use one simple connection via the included optical cable. This way you will never have to switch inputs. Be sure to turn your tv speakers off in your TV's menu. This goes for any soundbar you buy.
The bar/woofer turns itself on or off when I turn the TV on/off. There is a slight delay on it turning off, but it must have something to do with it waiting for a signal before shutting down. Turn on is instant as soon as the TV comes on. That is the most important part anyway.
This bar is very easy to program your cable remote with. I chose to set my Xfinity remote to control volume up, volume down and mute. Took all of 10 seconds to program following the included instructions. I didn't program it to control 'power' as it does that on its own as mentioned above.
The only negative thing I can say is you HAVE to use the included remote to control the bass on the subwoofer. It's not the worst thing in the world, since at least you can control it without having to get up and turn a knob on the back of the woofer. But that is the only way, so don't lose the remote!

I would recommend this to a friend!

Didn't think it would be necessary for the geek squad to set up a sound bar but so far I have been unsuccessful pairing this sound bar with my xfinity remote. I was told it was possible but very much doubtful to this point

Are you still having problems pairing your xfinity remote? I just purchased this soundbar and was able to pair my xfinity remote to control volume up, down and mute within 10 seconds.
