Awesome! A Much Improved JBL Soundbar!
In August 2020, I bought the first version of this soundbar named “JBL Bar 2.1”. That was during the COVID lockdown as I was working from home _which is a rented house. Fast forward 2022, I was able to save enough money to buy a house located two hours away from my workplace _as my weekend getaway. I still kept the rental house though, because it was only 3 miles from my workplace.For my new house, I bought a brand new 55″ TV. Having been spoiled at the sound I was getting from the previous JBL 2.1 soundbar, I decided to buy another one for this new TV. Surprisingly, there is a new version! There was nothing wrong with the first model so I was wondering why JBL came up with this new model. There were hardly any information on the internet about it as Amazon was just releasing it on February 22, 2023. So I took a chance and bought one!It’s been just over an hour after I unboxed and tested this new model. This time, it’s named “JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass (MK2)”. In appearance, it looks almost the same as the first version. However, the MK2’s soundbar has a slight extrusion on top. The bar logo and controls are raised and the subwoofer is taller. After plugging the HDMI cable and power cords, the subwoofer automatically paired with the soundbar. The remote control looks different too. It’s simplified and very intuitive. This time, when you press the Bass button, there are only 3 settings: Low, Mid, & High _as opposed to the 1 to 20 bass levels of the previous model.Testing the unit:Sound perception is very subjective, depending on one’s background and taste in music. So my comments on this section is my own, having been a musician in my younger years (playing guitar, bass, and keyboards) and currently being a hobbyist as a saxophone player. So I turned to my proven bass tester song which is “Mystery” by Anita Baker. This song has a sliding bass note after the 8-bar intro. The bass notes are very clear coming from what I assume a 5-string (at least) bass guitar. I was blown away by the sound! The soundbar was tuned so that the mids and highs are very clear and not drowned from the bass sound. I tried other songs from Steely Dan, David Bowie, and other YouTube Bass Testers and they all come alive. The lows are very solid. The 3 bass level settings are very practical. At low volume, I could still hear the bass!I could go on but I’ll leave it up to you guys to decide yourself if this is a good upgrade (if you currently have the previous model) or a good new soundbar for your TV. Within a day, you should be able to make a decision, as Amazon has liberal RETURN POLICY, in case you’re not satisfied.In transparency:This is the second unit I got from Amazon. I received the first unit when it first came out on Feb. 22, 2022. The soundbar wouldn’t turn on! I tried all the suggested troubleshooting guides from JBL. Still no power! Looking back, I noticed it was delivered without being enclosed in a protected box. So the photos of what’s inside the box were visible. Inside the box, the soundbar and the subwoofer were only being protected by the hard Styrofoam they were enclosed in. Immediately, I returned the unit to Amazon and asked for a replacement.Three days later (today Feb. 25, 2023) I got the replacement! This time, the original JBL box was enclosed inside a bigger box, surrounded by bubble wraps. Within 5 minutes after unboxing, I was enjoying the much improved version of this JBL soundbar!Conclusion:I highly recommend this unit, especially for musicians or those who are totally into music. Of course it sounds great watching movies, YouTube, etc.! I’m not a gamer so I would think this would be great for that purpose too! For now, everything is great! I’ll write a follow-up review in a few months.

Just tested it… and honestly better than expected!
I only installed this soundbar to test itEven though I haven’t fully set it up in my space yet, I can already tell this is a solid buy.I wasn’t expecting much for the price, but this soundbar blew me away. I got the JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass (MK2) during Prime Day for $200, and it’s easily one of the best tech deals I’ve made.Setup was a breeze just plug in, connect via Bluetooth, and done. Took minutes. I also use it with my PS5 and it works flawlessly. Switching inputs is simple with the remote.The sound quality is clean and powerful. The highs are crisp, and the bass is deep and punchy thanks to the 6.5” wireless subwoofer. It really adds weight to movies, games, and music without being overwhelming.Size wise, it fits perfectly under my TV and the subwoofer isn’t bulky at all. The build feels solid, and the black design is sleek.If you’re looking for a powerful 2.1 soundbar that won’t break the bank, this is a no brainer. Great bass, easy setup, reliable Bluetooth, and awesome for gaming I’d 100% buy it again.I’ll update later once I’ve used it more.Bluetooth Connectivity: 5/5Value for the Money: 5/5Ease of Setup: 5/5Remote Control: 4/5Sound Quality: 5/5Size & Design: 5/5

The bass is great!
I ordered these speakers on a Sunday afternoon. It was suppose to be delivered on a Thursday. Received an e-mail on Friday morning tell me it will be 4p 6p . That did not happen. Saturday morning, checked e-mail. Package arrived about 5:30p.m. I was not happy. I unboxed Sunday morning. Did not need the instruction (‘m good at audio/video things (well sometimes lol) The bass sounds good for being a 6.5″ sub. Later on this summer, I’m going to upgrade to a JBL 500mk2 750Watts with a 10 sub

Great Sound for Value
I have had this soundbar for a few months now. It has great bass and excellent sound for the money. One issue with it is sometimes it will sound like static mixed in with the tv audio at a low level but the static sound is loud. I just shut it off and turn it back on. Happens rarely so it doesn’t bother me too much.

No. No. TERRIBLE!
How this speaker has so many stars and good reviews I must have a busted speaker.I bought this speaker because I was using a 9 year old LG 2.1 with 280 watts. The lg soundbar actually can break into 2 left and right. The right one went out a few years ago. So I was using half a sound bar and a 6″ tiny sub compared to this one. With the sub having 200 watts and half a soundbar at 40 watts…. this thing has an 8″ sub and claims 300 watts. The 10 year LG puts this thing to absolute shame. If you listen to rock as in like tool ect. The moment the song hits, this thing completely loses its bass and everything sounds so muddy. I would not buy this speaker trust me. Very disappointed. Maybe go get my LG out the trash.Ive seen alot about a “break in” period. Well im in about 50 hours. So I think thats broke in enough. Or more importantly I called jbl and spoke to them.. the guy has never even heard the terms before. And says no after a few hours this thing is broke in. So this is the amazing sound quality for that price tag? Awful.

Was unsure with all the mixed reviews floating around but decided to bite the bullet.Overall very pleased with the purchase.Much much louder than the TV on its own and the bass is fantastic.Used consistently since Christmas and still holding up very well.

Excelente sonido, lo use por unos meses y me sentí muy satisfecho con mi compa
Muy fácil de armar, práctico y estético, puede “la equis” que va por atrás del escritorio ponerse de cualquier lado para que sea un escritorio de orientación izquierda o derecha –
Suena a la perfección, ya he tenido barras JBL de modelos anteriores y cada vez mejoran los subwoofers, bajeo profundo en modalidad High, no distorsiona, se escucha como en el cine, yo puse el sub en una esquina entre un mueble y la pared y hace más resonancia en la habitación, hace retumbar todo de una forma agradable
