Rated 1 out of 5 by Alanm829 from Calibration Issues The speakers sound good but the problem I am having is the calibration issues. This is my 3rd set and all have the same problem. The first and second set worked perfectly until I did the firmware update. The third set I received directly from JBL already had the current update already installed so I was never able to complete the calibration process. Apparently the most current firmware (20371180) is giving some people issues with the calibration process. I was told that there is a new update that will be released. This issues has been going on since October of last year!! Why is it taking so long for this update???? Very unhappy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by RockyKarthik from Great speaker. The best so far by JBL. I switched from a 3.1 channel soundbar to this 9.1 channel one. The sound quality is excellent. It totally transformed my living room into a movie theatre. The detachable speakers offer surround sound which totally offers a different level of experience. Some cons: - Sometimes I hear a lot of disturbance from the detachable speakers - the audio quality is excellent but the maximum Volume is not sufficient for me. Max volume is 32. I would’ve been happy if the max volume is at least 40 or 50. When at high Bass and high Atmos, the voices and lyrics are not clearly audible. Other than that this is a fantastic speaker and gives you a mind blowing experience.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great Sound, Trouble with Satellite Speakers Speaker/soundbar sounds great, but the satellite speakers have had issues. 1. The left side speaker does not charge when seated in the sound bar. No matter what I did it would not charge. When all the way seated, it is not flush, clearly an issue 2. They tend to not stay all the way seated into the sound bar and "drop" down a bit but do not fall out JBL since told me to go back to company for solution and they "do not have any in stock and don't expect to" so I am stuck with either dealing with one speaker not charging or just returning and everyone else is sold out as well. So, I guess I will just go with another product.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Mahender from No MP3 via USB I am very much impressed by the sound quality and design. Enjoyed music and songs via Bluetooth and also connected the sound bar with my TV which works great. Then thought of playing MP3 songs from flash drive. After inserting the flash drive, into the USB port, there was no activity. Even I have realised that there was no option for USB on the remote. So I have contacted the JBL customer service. A person from the customer support visited my house to tell me that "Indian JBL 9.1" does not support MP3 via USB (it supports only software update) and "US JBL 9.1" supports MP3 via USB. Seems JBL has to explain to their customers why this discrepancy between the Indian and US version of JBL 9.1 even after the price in India and US is the same. This differences is making me think that US customers are more important than Indian customers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by XBTV from Very happy with this soundbar for eARC ATMOS needs After reading everything carefully and learning all the features I am VERY happy with the sound bar. Some things to note for first timers. If your TV has ATMOS and eARC make sure to set your TV to "PASSTHROUGH". It will send the 5.1 ATMOS single to the bar and the bar will display ATMOS for apps such as NETFLIX and D+ without having to use PCM. (PCM wouldn't cut it for me, passthrough worked like a charm, but be sure you have eARC or you will most likely have to use PCM.). Also using passthrough cleared up any sync issues. If you are having problems with getting to calibration mode 1 after completing mode 2.. Turn off the speaker then turn back on and you can reconfigure Calibration 1. To turn off Smart Mode (which will output general sound to all speakers when no surround is dected) Hold down the Mute button for 3 seconds.. LET GO OF THE MUTE BUTTON the press the volume up.. You will see a Display stating "SMART MODE OFF".. It was tricky to figure out cause I'd hold down mute and keep it pressed while I pressed the volume up. The sound quality is amazing and the sub is very powerful. The fact I can keep my rears on the bar until ready to use without any wires is just Phenomenal for my home situation. I'm very happy with the JBL 9.1 and look forward to more improvements from firmware updates.. Hopefully EQ settings for front, center, rear via Phone App or something.

Product Q&A

Did anyone have any luck using the Soundbar with a Fire TV Cube (2nd Gen) ? All the apps (Netflix, Prime, Disney) let me select Atmos sound but the soundbar only says "Dolby Surround". No luck getting help from JBL .what is the solution?

Asked by: Jack74

I was able to get Dolby atmos on my direct cube but you need to make sure you have the newest version 2020.  The first cube 2019 does not support Dolby atmos.  I found that not all titles were supported with Dolby atmos by Amazon if it doesn’t say Dolby atmos on the actual screen when selecting movie it will most likely play in Dolby surround.  For this reason I returned the Amazon fire tv cube and got the roku ultra newest version and it upgrades everything to Dolby Atmos!  Even the menu screens registers Dolby Atmos.    I also tried the the Apple TV 4K and that had even less that would play in Dolby Atmos none of my Amazon prime videos or Vudo UHD would play Dolby Atmos.  As soon as I switched back to the Roku ultra 2020 all the videos I thought should be Dolby Atmos were across all play forms.  This works for me because Roku supports airplay so I don’t need the Apple TV.

Does the JBL 9.1 display Dolby Atmos when playing Dolby Atmos?? I have directly connected ShieldTV and FireTV to it (over HDMI) and am passing Dolby Atmos titles to JBL 9.1 but it says Dolby Surround on the soundbar. It says that for ALL Dolby signals. 

Asked by: Sharky77uk

Passthrough Passthrough Passthrough .. I couldn't get D+ on my LG app to get atmos.. I put on PASSTHROUGH on TV.. ATMOS LISTED ON SOUNDBAR! TV must have HDMI eARC 2.1

Updated software and now noticeably quieter. Voices were clear at lower volume levels and now have to increase volume so everything is loud just to hear speaking.

Asked by: MikeK

Mike you are not the only one, I am having to increase the bass from 3/5 previously to 5/5. volume was 9 before now im going up to 13 depending on the source. I have a feeling that the update has limited the power of the system some how. I hope they resolve this

Do the side caps for both the soundbar & read speakers come with the UK version? In the specification & manual it states "some regions only"

Asked by: Lees

Yes they do, although the "UK version" I ordered came with two EU power cords, not UK ones!

I have an 86" LG 86SM9070PUA that has eARC HDMI 2.1 on the #2 input. I have my JBL 9.1 connected correctly, however if I play something from Disney+ app that is supposed to have Dolby Atmos? It doesn't display as such, it only shows "Dolby Surround"

Asked by: XBTV

This a known issue with Disney+, at the very least in certain territories. Outside of its content list it is frankly not a very good app. Add this issue to lots of fake Dolby Vision shows and films. Basically it’s Disney lying to customers and not delivering on its promises to save money, unfortunately

Does the sound bar have any selectable EQ settings to boost center/voice or treble/bass levels?

Asked by: Dude8

Bass ✅ Atmos ✅ Rear ✅ To boost centre speaker turn up the main volume and reduce bass / Atmos / rear as required

Answered by: Andyyyy

Bought this yesterday and I can't adjust the rear speaker volume when I press it says "NOT SUPPORTED" speakers are working fine and it's detached as well.

Asked by: Chath

Unfortunately you have a defective peice. The charging case of your detachable speaker is malfunctioning which is causing the 'Not Supported' error, the case needs to be replaced. This is been noted in the March 2021 manufactured models mostly. JBL knows this.

Calibration keeps coming up as retry?

Asked by: Beman

Ethernet between JBL and router / modem... the JBL SB behaves much better with a wired connection. THIS IS VIP: As the calibration is wireless ie. between SB and rear speakers make sure you disable wifi from  PC, mobile, tablets etc if not remove them from the area between SB and calibration placement (see manual).  Thats what JBL omit from their manual yet its so logical...
