The unique feature of this soundbar system is the surround speakers that dock with the soundbar to charge. Then they can be disconnected from the soundbar and placed behind the main seating area. You now have surround speakers that are completely wireless (no power or audio cables).

Hi jonah first of all thanks for the quality content you are giving your fellow humans 👍 i do have a question about 2 systems that is the jbl 9.1 and the sonos sub gen 3, i currenlty own a lg system and the bass isnt bad but at low volumes its kinda missing. I want to upgrade to sonor or jbl for basses on low volume which one do you recommend ? Hope i see your reply soon and keep up the good work 👊
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.
I like the cat more than the soundbar
❣️ JBL ❣️
Very pricey C$ 1500…. explore other options…..
Thank you 😊
Can’t the surround speakers be permanently fixed to a wall by charging through micro usb??? Or does it need to be docked everytime to the soundbar after use???
Hi,
I bought the jbl bar 9.1. My Sony Bravia has ARC port not eARC port. So it can’t not pass the actual dolby atmos sound to soundbar. So I tried to using fire stick but when I connected to soundbar I didn’t get the atmos option to select in Prime as well as Netflix. When i play same things from My tv it’s showing dolby atmos logo but i get dd+ while in Netflix i got Atmos DD+. Pls help me how i can get experience of Dolby Atmos. Shall I returned fire stick?
Which one is good nakamechi 7.2 or jbl 9.1 plz suggest me…
Superb presentation and explanation about the 5.1 and family.
Compare this and Vizio elevate which is better!?
any info regarding battery life for surround speakers?
Hi! Which subwoofer has deeper or louder bass? The jbl bar 9.1 or the sonos sub? Thanks in advance
You so handsome
We have a JBL 3.1 Soundbar if it is anything to go by, we’ll be buying another JBL when the current one needs replacing. Awesome sound and beautiful bass ambiance.
Love the review! Trying to get this right now but it’s sold out everywhere. Even the Sonos is back ordered. Sad.
Good review. Cool cat!
Wish it had a app though bc remotes tend to stop working after couple yrs… especially if u have kids
I just heard this while at a best buy today. Could not believe a sound bar could sound that good. Thinking about getting one because it’s truly wireless. But wifey says "you already have an overpowered system as it is". Bowers & wilkins cm speakers and a bowera and wilkins center speaker, pioneer elite receiver and a denon sub. But I’m telling her this thing takes up less space and it’s design is beautiful.
A single HDMI input is a deal breaker for me.
what would you prefer between JBL 9.1 and Sonos Arc (w/o subwoofer, w/o One SL’s)…?
assuming it is the same prices
Would you prefer the Samsung Q900T or JBL 9.1 ?
I see alott off ppl complaning about subwover gets burn after 1 2 years…
Returned. After a month the bar would turn on itself while in standby and tv closed. Tried system reset with tv reboot and setting changes with other hdmi cables and still same issue. What a waste cause bar sound was awesome. Went to forums many had similar issues. Contacted JBL but they were no help just said to return bar.
really tempting to get the jbl one but i nowhere seen videos about wall mounting since i have all cables from all my device tucked away behind my wall 🙁
Jbl is big scrap. I bought this product and its having connectivity problems. When i called customer service, they sent technician. He checked and said MOTHER BOARD needs to be changed. I was shocked. This is the ticket for my complaint TS-C220321-65620 the ticket is still open. They were dragging it from one month. Big head ache. Jbl is literally a big scrap company. Better look for bose or denon. Buy something which will give some peace of mind. These ppl are paid reviewers. They will support jbl. Once we buy nobody cares. Jbl is a big scrap.
I’m on the fence about getting the Bose 300 soundbar with the Bose 500 Subwoofer or is this better?
pretty cats.
Did anyone else think of Flossy when the cat showed up? "Whiteshoes, calm down"
This is Terrible
Just get the £180-200 Sony HS20R 5.1 400W system
Fantastic review 👍🔥
Is there any chance jbl releases a rear speaker kit for for their soundbars?
what a day and age when things are included in the instruction manual, but it’s considered a minus that you have to read. amazing.
great concept JBL, too bad it sounds horrible. Returned it within 2 days of ownership.
What is the best sound at with two hdmi inputs?
Hello, my television does not support Dolby Atmos, can I even hear Dolby Atmos with the soundbar on my television?
Many Thanks.
Can you review sony s700rf ?
Idea: You can test sound quality if you get a pair of proper binural microphones with a silicone head to simulate the skull. Recording like this creates surround sound when played on headsets, and makes it feel like youre actually in the room (it is the best way to get surround sound in youtube’s steroe codecs). This would be amazing for capturing the surround capabilities of these sound systems. Of course your room will still play a factor, but as long as you test in the same room, results should be comparable
Very handsome… nice sound bar too
8:54 thats what im afraid of. i have a normal speakers system and i was wondering is there a soundbar that can give me a wide sound like the separate speakers left and right of the TV ? Great Review !
JBL calls this soundbar a 9.1 for a reason. If JBL wanted it to be a 5.1.4 soundbar system, they would have named it as such. Just because it confuses you to say 9.1 instead of 5.1.4 doesn’t mean the rest of us don’t fully understand what JBL means.
The sony 900h earc and jbl 9.1 don’t play well together. The sound bar sound wont come on intermittently when turning the tv on.
Hello i just bought this bar few weeks ago , i got one question pls, does the surround speakers charges while its on and playing or it has to be on standby ?pls answer thx
Max volume starts shaking my house it’s too loud might return it
Is there something up with the JBL 9.1? I bought an open box recently but now the system is sold out everywhere. Is it being phased out?
using this system with Bluetooth will I get the 3d, dobly atmos sound effect?
I have watch other videos which states the surround speakers have 2 speakers in them. Also the end of the bar itself has 2 speakers at each end .. the 4 extra speakers makes it 9 channel
hi how can I update Jbl 9.1
Great review,i would like to ask if its possible to use an external amplifier?
I hope their next update on this model to have individual sound set up features on JBL app
