If you’re trying to maximize the quality of your home entertainment, you cannot ignore audio. Yes, yes, your TV is obviously super important. A huge 85-inch OLED is going to look great in your living room, but is it going to sound great. Built-in speakers for TVs have gotten better over the years, but they are still not a replacement for a dedicated sound system. The JBL Bar 500 is a 5.1 channel soundbar and subwoofer that can be the difference between hearing sound that booms and sound that BOOMS. It’s normally priced at $650 which isn’t exactly cheap. However, right now Amazon is running a discount for Prime Day. It’s 23% off, bringing it down to just $150 and happens to be the lowest this product has ever been listed at here.
The soundbar measures at 101.7 centimeters across to comfortably sit along your entertainment center in front of your TV. The wireless subwoofer measures in at a full 10-inches to bring your thrilling, precise bass.

A big selling point on soundbars over a TV’s built-in speakers are it’s options to enhance dialogue. We’ve all been here. You’re watching something and can barely hear what the characters are saying, but if you turn up the volume, any sound effects or music will boom loud waking up all your neighbors. Well, the JBL Bar 500 has PureVoice Dialogue Enhancements which can algorithmically isolate and amplify voice clarity so you never miss a word.
