JBL Bar 1000 Black

First, it is bigger than the 88cm in the description. As it stands in front of my 65 inch TV, it is 119.5 cm. This is due to the surround speakers that can be disconnected, without which it is 88 cm. But fits perfectly.
Second, there is a beautiful heart on the remote control. You think of favorites, but that is not the case. If you want to use that, you have to create an account, which I'm usually a bit hesitant about. Come up with another password.
Thirdly, if you come to TuneIn via via and look for a radio station, you have to look for it again if you have had the TV on or if you have had the bar in standby. So I thought of favorites. Then you can also put more channels in it. Now you always need a phone or tablet with the App on it. Hopefully the App will be improved soon, would be nice.
Fourth, despite everything above, a great soundbar and an equally good subwoofer. A beautiful, also to see, whole picture.

We were able to test the soundbar for 2 weeks.
The sound quality of the soundbar is excellent for films. The sound roars through the house, making you really feel like you're in the movie. Just like there is an explosion in the movie, you hear it all around you. It's like you're in a cinema. The sound of reading the news sounds a bit hollow. It's nice that you only hear the front. So the rear speakers wouldn't do the trick either.
The soundbar looks sleek. The speakers feel sturdy. The small boxes can easily be placed back in the larger box for charging. After charging, you can easily remove them and place them behind you again. The subwoofer can easily be placed next to the cabinet. The cable that comes with it is long enough to connect everything together.
The included manual is a quickstart description. These are mainly pictures. There are two different connection options. This was a bit difficult to determine which one we should have. The Soundbar automatically connects to the subwoofer and the two detachable speakers. There is only a cable to the TV and the receiver for watching TV. The rest is wireless. The cables required and supplied are long enough. JBL has its own app, which is clear and convenient to use. Calibration can be done via the box's remote control or via the app. It's fixed in no time. You can also stream your music through the speakers with a radio app. One disadvantage is that you cannot do anything else on your mobile. Because if the radio app is no longer visible, it will disconnect from the soundbar.
You can calibrate the soundbar yourself via the remote control or app. It's very simple. The app makes it easy to read what you need to do during calibration. It has a Dolby Atmos sound. The connection always remains good. Even if the two smaller speakers run out of power while watching the movie, you will see a message on the soundbar that the batteries are low. Still, the sound remains good. We then paused the movie and placed the small speakers back in the soundbar to charge. About 10 minutes later we put the two speakers behind us and continued watching the movie. There is built-in WiFi to connect the soundbar to the Google Chromecast. The JBL app contains various music or radio apps that I am not familiar with. Unfortunately you cannot add your own here. The apps are Amazon Music, Calm radio, iHaertRadio, Napster, Qobuz, Tidal and Tuneln. In the JBL app you can enable the personalization function, with which you can set your favorite music track, auto-off timing or music volume. So there is a lot to adjust to your own wishes.

Nice, sleek soundbar that is quick to set up. I was able to test this soundbar for a number of weeks. Unfortunately, the calibration did not work for me no matter what I tried. Subwoofer is powerful enough for a large room that you can set from lvl1-5. The detachable speakers run on batteries, which you must place back in the soundbar itself every time after use to charge them. Unfortunately, I think this is a design flaw, but many people actually like it. The speakers that you can detach do not produce enough sound to hear a difference, even if you adjust this with the remote control or the app. Overall I'm quite happy with it but it's too gimmicky for me.
