Featured Product: JBL Soundbar System
JBL has been in the audio business for quite some time and is well known and highly regarded for producing quality and great-sounding audio products. One area of their audio expertise is with soundbars.
It’s been several years since I’ve done an article on a JBL soundbar, and that particular model was the JBL SB400 which is now discontinued. So I figured it was time to feature another quality soundbar from JBL.
In this article, I will feature the JBL Bar 2.1 Deep Bass Powered Soundbar with a 6.5” Wireless Subwoofer. This is a current model that was released in 2019 and is very popular with consumers and has received an overwhelming number of positive reviews from its owners. Check out those reviews on Amazon.com.
The JBL Bar 2.1 is one of six models from their current lineup of sound bars and holds the second spot just above the entry-level model.
The JBL Bar 2.1 system consists of a sealed soundbar that contains four full-range drivers and two 1” dome tweeters. The sub enclosure contains a 6-1/2” woofer. The system also comes with an IR remote for wireless control of the soundbar system.
