JBL SB 300: Any reviews on this product ?

Many soundbar systems with wireless subwoofer seem to suffer with interference with wireless router. I understand that this JBL system has a way to do wireless pairing between the soundbar and the subwoofer, but does it actually change wireless channel to avoid interference?

I bought this and it works well. You will need to by an amplifier for this subwoofer if your receiver does not have one specifically for a subwoofer. I bought the Bash 300S Digital Subwoofer Plate Amplifier 300W RMS from Parts Express. I works very well with my surround sound. Be sure to secure the speaker grate. The putty they send you does not work so well. I used silicone to hold the grate in. It will vibrate loose if you do not.Hope this helps

Louie, these are fine speakers. However the entire ES series has been removed from the JBL line and the new ones in the ES series for sale are the only ones remaining. Some of the remaining new speakers in the ES series are selling for a premium. (Please note that the price listed is for ONE speaker. You need to buy two of them for stereo or to use in a surround system.)If you haven't bought them, now is your last chance. See my answer to Scott W. below for more details.

I bought one too... works perfectly fine... with a piercings sound coming from the external speaker. I suggest to recheck the speaker connection.

I currently use a Klipsch speaker sys and not familiar with actual use of Boston or JBL. I know the receiver made a big diff in bringing out the best in mine.

Hi I used it with really good results with a couple of small "JBL Control One" speakers and they did work fine, even though their sensitivity is on the lower side at just 87dB/W/m. Some speakers with higher sensitivity would even give you more volume. I think this little baby is capable of driving to a good level a small system if you are not unrealistic with your expectations. I myself have moved on to a "NAD D3020" but that is another ball park. But I am not getting rid of the TP30, I do like it.

Personally I have klipsch. Can't speak for JBL. Great digital amp. Had it for 3 months and love it.

This a single speaker with multiple drivers high quality output sound ! If u like bass and clear mid vocals than this speaker is right for you plus it uses BT 4.0 optimum sound technology.. Its loud promise ...Especially wit hip /hop rap and rock compare this with the JBL charge that should give u a great idea.. had both and this one is better .. hope this helps G

There are a lot of nice receivers out there. I would get something to handle the wattage and the 7.1 to really enjoy the sound quality. I think as far as brands go it's what you like. I wouldn't go cheap, you just got some great speakers. I would look for something to enhance them. Make sure you get a receiver compatible with your speakers, wiring and so on. Check out the Leviton JBL site...that's what I did.

Don't spend your money on it it's a junk box. I installed 2 hifonic Brutus in it and sounded like crap. The port is all wrong. Too small, not cut out right there's a lip on it so you have to modify it. So after I did that it sounded a Lil better but still not the sound I was looking for. So I order 2 infinity dual voice coil 10s. Wire it up and it sounded way better. Then the major malfunction occured. The box as a whole rattled apart. The speaker hole came apart the sides were loose the top rattled. It was terrible don't waste your time or hard earned money on that crap box look for some thing else Don't spend your money on it it's a junk box.

I got mine a few months ago and, for the money, it works well and has good sound. Kind of a retro look. The build quality is acceptable.

Jason A. Kentros comments on 5/14/2013: "This is a good soundbar, but if Bluetooth isn't a requirement I'd recommend the SB100, better value overall, and for those with your own subwoofer it's the obvious choice as the SB100 has a sub output."

Yes. I'm very happy with mine. Looks and sounds just like the JBL Eon. Plus it has bluetooth.

Yes, it works. I was using a JBL Flip. But you'll be lucky to get a working USB. One was broken, the other had issues.

I can't speak for the Bose units, but he PSB's are very cheaply made. I had a my pair crack twice on me, the second time Amazon was nice enough to just issue me a refund that I used on a set of Beyerdynamics. Honestly, chiming in here since I was so disappointed with the build quality and customer service from PSB ("not our problem, go take it up with the vendor") that I'd steer anyone away from them.

1. As stated by Mr. Hanson, it is an older package. 2. The satellite speakers on the 600 have a mid/range radiator on top. Evidently their bookshelf answer to their bi-polar drivers of the BP series.3. Subwoofer on the 600 has a 250 watt amp where as the 60.6 only has a 150 watt.That being said, I own the 60.6 and I am extremely happy. I use them with a Denon AVR-2310. If you have a larger than 400 sq ft theater space I would consider a second or more powerful sub. But at the current $219 (which is hilarious as the sub itself sells for $299) I see the set going for, its kind of hard to go wrong. 1. As stated by Mr. Hanson, it is an older package. 2.
