Finally snagged one of these. Thank you for this review which put this on my radar to compare to Samsung Q90r (7.1.4) & Nakamichi Shockwafe (7.2.4) set. This appealed to me more due to (1) quality of sound coming from a real speaker company; (2) easier setup and (3) the true wireless rear surrounds. I don't like exposed cables in between furniture and with pets that like to chew up and pull on cables this works out too. Additionally I avoided all the wimpy Bass soundbars like Vizio and most of the Sonos type setups. They just lack the "oomph" and barely tickled me with and their lows. I tested a few different ones at home just to be sure and highly recommend other folks to do the same. Your space matters when it comes to properly having the output and the necessary Decibels to "feel" your movies and tunes. My previous JBL 3.1 system lasted just over a decade before finally getting fried by a surge. Thanks again and I will be recommending folks your way.

Well the Samsung soundbars are made by Harmon Kardon which is one of the top speaker companies out there, and JBL is owned by Harman. But yea i def agree with you for some reason the Samsung Harman Kardon soundbars def lack bass, the quality of the bass is good but as you stated doesnt have enough oomph, due to the subs lower wattage 6-8 inch subwoofers. I had bought the Samsung HW-Q60T, the quality of the sound was really good and it had great features but i returned it cuz of the wimpy bass as you put it, the sub was only 160 watts with a 6.5 inch speaker. I then went with the JBL bar 5.1 Surround which has a 300 watt 10 inch sub and im much happier, it booms. The only con about it so far is the lack of sound modes and EQ adjustments, you can only adjust the bass, but the one mode they give you is def good enough for me to like it, and for music i just use the EQ in Spotify so that solves that problem.

@claudiugeorge5445 4 года назад

Hi,i have right now the jbl 3.1 soundbar, and i was thinking to change with this one,9.1 bar. Please,tell me,only in terms of low bass, what is the difference between those two? They have the same 10 inch driver on subwoofer,the same dimmensions for the enclosure. It is any differences?

@bgaviator 4 года назад

how do you like the JBL 9.1? I am beating myself up over what soundbar to go with. I have 13ft ceilings and an "open floor plan" so I'm not sure what type of system is best for this application. Upfiring speakers, or software based virtual atmos like on the Sony HT-z9f. Currently consider the Sony Z9F, JBL 9.1, Samsung Q90R, or the Nakamichi 7.2.4. I just can't get over the looks of the Nakamichi...it just looks cheap to me even though I know it puts out good sound.

@AexoeroV 4 года назад

Cool, this time you got right how the rear satellites need to be positioned! Don't know why JBL choosed not to give us more control on the subwoofer, on the old 3.1 and 5.1(with satellites) systems you could set the woofer volume from 0 to 30, that was awesome because if you watched something at night you could even lower the sub to 0 or whatever you liked!

@martinboy1974 4 года назад

The first bar I received was faulty. Couldnt keep connection to the rear speakers, the sound kept changing between stereo and surround when the rear speakers was docked to the soundbar. The sound crackled. The calibration kept failing. The JBL support wasnt any help at all. I desided to return the soundbar to my retailer. JBL felt bad for all the trouble I had and sent me a 20% voucher which I used to buy a second JBL 9.1 bar. I have now tested the second bar a few days and it has worked flawlessly. I am happy I gave JBL a second chance, because man, that bar has awsome sound. And with the money saved on the second bar, thats a good investment.

Hi Martin, I brought it couple of days ago, I have an issue to connect the soundbar with Wi-Fi home I hold the power button and I start to work with my phone through Google home but always feel connection, did you have same issue with the connection? Thanks in advance

Where did you guys get yours at? I'm still waiting for mine through Amazon but it's coming in 5 days tho. I can't wait to try them out. You just need to ask good to setup a new device on your phone and it should just scan for the JBL at that time.

@Mickster85 3 года назад

We've owned the 9.1 for over a week and can officially say for $999 this is one of the best surround set ups for the money. Crisp sound, clean dialog, deep resonating bass and accurate spatial sound. We had purchased the Sonos Arc surround set originally and loved it however when I visited a friend and heard the JBL I decided to take the Sonos back and picked up the JBL. I can say that the Sonos set may have a slight edge in some areas but in our opinion no were close to Justify the extra $800.

@JohnTrasher 3 года назад

I am exactly torn between the JBL and the Sonos Arc (without a sub due to budget at the moment, may be added later). Are you still content with the JBL? Is it tideous to recalibrate the rear speakers after recharging them everytime? Would it be okay to place them on the couch to our sides?

@FrapLusioN 3 года назад

Atmos also works over ARC, not just eARC. Over ARC it needs to transfer via Dolby Digital Plus, over eARC it will be able to transfer via Dolby TrueHD. This is only used by blu-rays. Netflix only transmits via Digital Plus so a TV with Netflix (native app or another device like a Nvidia shield TV) will only ever need ARC, not eARC.

@joshdimovski4483 4 года назад

That's if you TV supports the minimum of Dolby digital plus, my 4k tv has arc but because it doesn't have Dolby digital plus , zero atmos 😔

@SMAr2wo 2 года назад

Upfiring/Atmos speakers are not infact channels. Atmos works like the old Dolby Prologic II/ Prologic IIz that decodes AAC 5.1 or AAC+ 5.1.2.Prologic IIz is the father of Atmos. Atmos/DTSX is in fact 5.1 real channels or in isolated cases 7.1 channels with Audio digital data, and also have a data channel for instructions to rip off some parts and redirect them in upfiring speakers. Same with AAC, 2 channels for audio and one data channel with instructions/ commands.

Thank you sir for the excellent informative video of this product. I’m waiting for the delivery of my new Sony 65” X90CH television on 8/11/2020 from Costco and I am planning on getting this JBL setup later to go with my TV. You taught me about some awesome features on my TV (HDMI ARC) I didn’t understand at first. Yes my TV comes with 4 HDMI’s and one of the is ARC. Plus the TV has Dolby Atmos feature which I didn’t realize until I watched this video. You come across very knowledgeable in your video’s, speaking clearly with detailed advice about the product with good sound, and lighting for yourself and the product. A lot of RU-vidr’s is not cut out for these type of informative RU-vid videos thanks again. 👍🏽👍🏽

@aarongeorge007 4 года назад

eARC CAN transmit Atmos from your smart TV to the soundbar because the 'smart' tv side of things - Netflix and other apps, has compressed Atmos, which can go via ARC without eARC. What ARC can't do is take your blu ray Atmos from TV to soundbar.

@WorldWideStereo 4 года назад

Hi Carlos and thanks so much for your question. The downward attitude of the bass driver will only slightly affect your downstairs neighbors. Bass swells into a room in all directions and very differently than how the sound of your voice travels, and when the grenade explodes in the film, whether the woofer is front-firing and 4 inches off the floor or facing the floor won’t make a huge difference in how your downstairs neighbors hear the grenade exploding from your subwoofer. I’m happy to help in any way and can be reached at 866.961.7781 ext 258. Thanks again. Please be well and enjoy your weekend. - Ira Segall

090921/0508h PST 🇺🇸 Thank you for the descriptive description on JBL 9.1 sound bar system. Every aspect, every control, every salient feature, every minute part of the complete system was spoken quite eloquently (W/O dramatics) is well appreciated. One other prominent part that missed by many dramatists is that of activation of Dolby ‘Atmos’ HDMI combination can only be noticed by connecting ARC HDMI from the TV to JBL mating ARC HDMI receptacle. Explanation of ‘Atmos’ and eARC was unknown to me. Thank you for that. Your recommendation to use wired network is noted. (No one spoke about it) To conclude, the description is better than going through the vague UM. Take care and 73s…

@LANCETDAVIS 4 года назад

This seems to be a nice setup, especially with the detachable wireless speakers. If I didn't have my 1,000 watt Nakamachi 9.2.4, which I am extremely happy with, I would have definitely considered this. Mine has two subwoofers and mine most probably goes louder, but this would be loud enough. I think what JBL should consider is adding an additional subwoofer and increasing the available ports on the sound bar. Most affordable TVs have between two and three HDMI ports (Not 4) so the increase in the HDMI ports and the inclusion of an additional subwoofer would steel potential buyers of the Shockwafe that I have and the Samsung Q90R.

Didier, I assume you have the Philips Fidelio? I'm using the Fidelio HTL9100 with removable speakers too and i love it. I think Philips was the 1st to come up with the wireless removable rear speakers setup. It gives great immersive surround sound. But it's old technology because it doesn't do Dolby Atmos or DTS:X. I'm also looking at this JBL 9.1. From what I have been reading, it will add "height" making the surround experience even more immersive. I have not had the chance to test it out in the shops, wouldn't want to buy without listening to it 1st. But the Dolby Atmos capability paired with true wireless rear speakers setup will likely be the reason for me to buy it once I have the chance to test it out. Not sure about the HDMI cable part, maybe someone else can comment on this. Hope you get a chance to try out this speakers and you can decide if it is worth the upgrade.

HDMI cable you need to use Is a 2.1 that is fast enough to send earc ultimate audio signals from TV to the bar.

Thanks for the review. Can you please do the review on new Samsung HW-Q950T Sondbar. Also from your experience Samsung vs Sonos Arc vs JBL, which one you think gave you great Cinematic affect. Thanks.

Just one hdmi in...are they ***?? And Fidelio 9100 have rear full wireless speaker ...7 year ago, B5 that i have it right now is 5y old, than b95,..and contemporary with this model is b97 thai i think i'n gonna choose it, specially for 2 hdmi in and side-front speakers for more spatial sound in front while rear speakers are undocked.

I wish they made a wired version with proper looking surround speakers -- no worrying about the surrounds dying out in the middle of a film.

The rears has 10 hrs of battery life man. Plus they will warn you when it's low so it's not going to come as a surprise. You could always run full time power to the rears anytime you want. You could even use an external battery if it's more convenient. This system is perfect for me as I don't like wires period. It has everything you would want minus side firing speakers. This is why I got one for myself and I love it so far!

@@volcalstone If I don't ever plan on moving the surrounds then what's the point to this design? Pain in the ass to have to constantly recharge them. Wires are easy to route inconspicuously in nay home and they provide a full rich uncompromising sound. Wireless audio has lower dynamic range and is susceptible to interference.

@flavorflav7241 3 года назад

Quick question. My tv doesn't have dolby atmos but my XBOX does, so if I connect the Xbox with hdmi to this sound bar then the sound bar to the TV, would it produce dolby atmos or not? Thanks

@muratD 4 года назад

What's the longest distance you can put the detachable speakers from the soundbar? And still working?

@WorldWideStereo 4 года назад

Thanks for your question. The surround speakers wireless range is over 25 feet and should be within line of sight to avoid interference.

@Thristed 4 года назад

Great video!! One quick question tho, i have the feeling that the sound from the rear speakers is really low, even so that i can barely hear a difference between the rear speakers being on or off..is that normal?

Does anyone know whether the Jbl 9.1 can pass through HDR10 and HDR10+ or just Dolby vision?

@martinboy1974 4 года назад

It also handles HDR10 and HDR10+ as far as I can tell on the material I pass through the bar.

Hello, I am looking to buy the JBL Bar 9.1 but I want to know if I put a Fire tv stick 4k in the 'HDMI in' of my soundbar and connect a projector through 'HDMI (eARC)' out of my soundbar to 'HDMI in (without ARC/eARC)' of my projector and use netflix on my Fire stick, will it show atmos support for supported content? Please reply. This is greatly going to influence my purchase decision.

Question, am interested in this JBL 9.1 with detachable speakers, my question is that I hear the charge at times will last an hour or two instead of ten at full charge, anyone have this issue ?
