[ABS] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL bar 300 definitely enhance my television viewing. It's very easy to setup up on my television through bluetooth. I love the calibration tool which makes it easier to use depending on the size of room that your device is in. The Bass is pretty solid as well.

[94 dBC] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took just a few seconds to setup. Installation guide was easy to understand and follow. Sounds was amazing as usual with JBL. Love having this quality of sound in my bedroom. Wonderful sound. Hooked into my tv with the HDMI auper easy.

[85 dB] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pretty impressed with the sound right off the bat since the Bar 300 is smaller than other sound bars I've owned before. Bass is pretty solid for not having a subwoofer and dialogue audio was clear when watching movies. Setup / calibration is super straightforward, even without downloading the app. Speaking of which, this is my third JBL app (headphones, portable speakers, and now sound bar). It would be really nice if JBL just consolidated all of these into a single one-stop app for all devices.
Other than good sound quality and volume, it's cool that brackets for wall mounting are included, haven't experienced that before. Packaging was also mostly plastic free, which I appreciated. Really happy overall with the sound bar.

[6.1 lb] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple set up- great sound. Getting the system out of the box was easy and pairing was simple. Found is great. It is a great add to any tv system. I replaced wired sound system for my tv in our family room- sound is rich as the traditional wired systems. This has deep output that us comparable to more expensive brands.
Recommended to any home systems andsmall office tv setups. Blends in we'll with my furniture- doesn't look out of place.

[6.1 lb] This is a commercial sound bar, not a consumer product. It is built to provide superior sound quality to the ultra thin TVs that are becoming so ubiquitous. It's intended to be easy to use, easy to clean and provided long term maintenance free operation.
The sound quality is very good.
The build quality is good.
The installer features are appropriately minimal.
It's not overloaded with unnecessary features like bluetooth, wifi, etc.
It's EXACTY what I hoped it would be.
Highly recommended!

[1] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL BAR 300 review by a semi-cranky guy
The review will be broken into likes, dislikes and perceived sound quality and a conclusion

Starting with the likes, Once out of the shipping box gently surprised there was a carry handle for transport. Packaging as expected.
Out of the box the weight of the unit said quality. The finish and the seams were even.
Placed in front of my 50” TV visually acceptable. Would work very well with a 40” TV.

Plug in the power cable, the optical cable, download the app on my phone and go. Nothing unusual, just normal including the running of my music streaming service via blue-tooth. Hey a three band equalizer in the app.

The LED panel under the material on the right side is to me a wonderful upgrade. Looking I know the volume level, the status, etc. The included HDMI cable looked to be decent. And the mounting brackets black painted steel. And a mounting guide!

Now for the dislikes. First I would like to see a 3.5mm audio input. Would be helpful with older TV’s.
Within the phone app I wish there was a volume control. Not really needed, but…

Sound evaluation, I LIKE IT!!!!!
TV for me is primarily the spoken word. Maybe a musical now and again or a music video here and there. The spoken word is now so much more intelligible. Which makes it so much easier to follow along be it a movie, a news cast, documentary, or whatever. And at volumes louder than I care to listen.
I should also point out where I sit in relationship to the BAR 300 very little change in audio quality.
The musicals or music video are not by any means flat toned. Vocals are predominate and the actual music is kind of reduced. This is a give to get vocals easily understood. Gives anything with music a different yet pleasing texture.

Overall a pleasant addition to my setup and glad it is there and being used everyday.

[1] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBLs soundbar is a fantastic addition to my home theatre setup. The audio is fantastic and the Spatial surround sound makes movie watching a relish.
In addition, the soundbar is remarkably easy to setup and configure.

[Full-Range] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this sound bar to replace my older competitor sound bar I had for years that had a bulky subwoofer box that I had to find room for. This JBL 300 is just awesome. The bass you can get out of this bar is amazing. It is great for those at-home movie experiences.

There is one feature that I just loved, even though I didn't have to use it. It comes with these really nice, thick, heavy metal brackets so you can hang the bar from the wall instead of just having it on a shelf or a mantle. (mine sits on the mantle) The part I thought was an excellent touch was the piece of paper that had the correct spacing for where to place the brackets so you didn't have to measure or anything for perfect placement. As a woman who does most of this on my own, this was a NICE feature! I know it's just a little thing to most, but it's those little things that add up to put things over the top.

Another feature that stood out to me was I didn't have to keep switching around my remote controls. I can still use my DirectTv remote for the volume when watching regular TV. It seems to know how to level out the sound bar and the TV automatically. Of course, you can always make adjustments with the Sound Bar remote, but it does a great job for regular TV just on its own.

Overall, I am in love with this new bar. Would definitely recommend it!

[Active] [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Bar 300 is a compact soundbar that packs a mighty punch. From the factory, JBL provides everything you need to get started. With the Bar 300, you get wall mount brackets, an HDMI cord, a power cord, and a remote with batteries. I wanted to mount my Bar 300 below my wall mounted TV, so I ordered additional universal mounting brackets and got to work. The bracket mounts on the bottom of the Bar 300 are very shallow; I had to be careful when attaching the brackets to not over tighten the bolts.
After getting the Bar 300 fixed to my TV mount, the rest of the setup was a cinch. I used a Digital Optical cable to connect my Bar 300 to my PC. My PC is able to output Dolby Digital at 192kHz to the Bar 300 and it sounds fantastic. On the Bar 300, I adjusted the bass to the max, level 5, and didn't adjust any other equalizer settings. I also allowed the soundbar to automatically calibrate before listening to any music. Afterwards, I listened to my favorite demo song, Comfortably Numb and was blown away. I was surprised at the bass the Bar 300 provides without a subwoofer. It also clearly presented the high notes with great clarity. Watching Twitch streams allows the Dialogue Enhancement tech to really shine. Broadcasters now come through over the gameplay and music without being muffled.
Overall the Bar 300 is a great compact sound bar that brings JBL's high quality sound to the living room.
