Great Sound

 

I've always loved the sound of Harman Kardon speakers, but they have always been so expensive due to their high quality. Anyone who buys these at this price will be so happy they made this purchase. the best part is if one speaker goes bad, you can...

Consumer review by:

WOW! Amazing Sound

 

I recently purchased a Sony 3DTV (KDL-55HX729) & Sony A/V Receiver (STR-DH720)and have been thinking about upgrading my home theater speakers as well. After seeing the feedback about the JBL Cinema 500 series speakers and comparing them to other units...

Lives Up to the JBL Reputation

 

Looking at similar systems by P*** A****, E*****, and other makes sold here at about ~$400, I'm still mystified how Egg hasn't marked these JBLs down. Egg would sell more of them if they had done so.

I'm "throwing in" with comment on this product, although I didn't get it at the Egg. Egg offers comparable speaker systems at markdowns competitive with other brands. Egg has chosen to keep Cinema 500 at closer to MSRP ; These are great speakers. You...

You'll either like the aesthetic design of these speakers, or you won't. Some complain about "flimsy" wire connection clips, but I don't see it as a problem. You'll want to secure your speaker wire to baseboards etc. anyway, so you shouldn't worry...

Consumer review by:

I never thought Bluetooth would do this.

 

I'm an audiophile from way back... I never thought that I would be saying any wireless connection sounded good, much less Bluetooth. But this is impressive. Obviously I'm not using these with a mixer, but I would in a heartbeat, they are just amazing...

Excellent sound quality, sharp highs, strong mids, perfect balanced bass

No wired input, but I'm sure you have other headphones for that

Consumer review by:

Great Speaker system

 

Very balanced sound output and speakers output a crisp and clear sound. Subwoofer has plenty of power and does not rattle the walls. Bass goes pretty deep and downfiring woofer is a great addition

None that can think of except for price!! But definetly worth the extra bucks

Consumer review by:

Good sound, cheap structure

 

I love the sound from these, so I'd give them 5 stars for that. However, I have to knock a star off, because they have cheap interfaces. The spring loaded wire connectors, nothing but a keyhole mount (that was too small to fit most mounting brackets I...

Middle of the Road

 

These speakers do the job OK, the sound is acceptable for movies and TV. I like them OK, don't love them. Be aware that you do need a separate amplifier to receiver to use these. First they come in a really really big box which is kind of a pain to...

Crisp And Clear Sound

 

The JBL Cinema 500 5.1 sound system is fantastic. If you have never installed a sound system before, don't worry. Set up is a snap. Included with the speakers are a relatively simple set of directions to follow. Basically all you need to do is follow...

Great Value For The Money

 

This is a very nice looking complete surround sound system. I am a fan of JBL products, but was not sure how it would compare to a more expensive Bose system I had in another room. I was pleased to find that despite the system's fairly compact size it...
