The JBL Bar 500 soundbar bundle includes the soundbar itself, along with a powerful subwoofer that delivers thrilling, room-filling bass. Together, these enhance your TV’s audio to make it sound a lot more crisp and deep, almost creating a theatre-like sound effect right in your living room.

Amazon has just knocked 27% off this JBL bundle right now. It’s now available to grab for $400, instead of the usual $550. That’s a solid $150 in savings, and even though it’s not the lowest price we’ve seen for this bundle, it’s still one of the best we’ve seen for it all year.

Cinema-like 3D sound

If your TV’s built-in speakers are no longer cutting it and you want to give your entertainment setup a much-needed sound upgrade, now’s a pretty good time to finally make the move.

This sleek, slim soundbar packs plenty of great features. It uses Dolby Atmos and MultiBeam Surround Sound to create a cinema-like 3D effect where audio wraps all around you. It almost feels as if you’re surrounded by a bunch of speakers, even when you’re not sitting directly in front of your soundbar. 

Audio in all forms (dialog, music) comes through clearly. There’s even PureVoice dialog enhancement tech that uses JBL’s unique algorithm to further optimize voices to make sure you get to hear all conversations, mumbles, and even whispers properly! The included subwoofer, on the other hand, takes care of the bass side of things by adding a bit more punch to low-frequency sounds. For example, explosions in scenes should feel a lot more impactful, and your favorite high-energy tracks will have just the right amount of depth to make you really feel the beat. 

The whole setup is also quite versatile. You can pair it with your TV when streaming a show, then connect it to an online music streaming service later through AirPlay, Alexa MRM, and Chromecast built-in. And with Wi-Fi support, the latest updates install automatically, meaning you’ll always have access to the newest features. 

All things considered, if you’re looking to upgrade your TV’s audio with a solid soundbar and subwoofer, this bundle gets you both – for less right now. The whole setup usually costs $550, but this limited-time, early Black Friday deal drops it to only $400. This is the best price you’ll find for this package right now. 

Offers ahead of and during big sale events tend to move fast, so it’s better to lock in the discount quickly.
