JVC TH-BA1 review: JVC TH-BA1

 

JVC TH-BA1

Sound bar home theater system; wireless subwoofer; solid sound quality, even with music; easy-to-use remote control; three inputs (two optical, one analog).

No HDMI connectivity; lackluster styling.

JVC's TH-BA1 sound bar home theater system is affordable, easy to use, and sounds better-than-expected, but doesn't offer HDMI connectivity.

JVC TH-BA1 Soundbar Reviewed

 

This soundbar is one of the more entry level in the JVC line up and comes with a 4.1 speaker configuration, a 30 Watt power amp (internal) and a subwoofer. It is lacking HDMI but has other inputs including optical and RCA analog inputs. At $299, its...

The TH-BA1 offers a solid array of features, including a hefty remote with useful controls, and an easy-to-read digital display ; The TH-BA1 decodes Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Pro Logic II, an attractive combination not a given in the category ; The...

The TH-BA1 is a little bit pedestrian looking, with hard edges and an overall boxy cosmetic that is not very interesting and far from modern ; The TH-BA1 lacks a bit of speed up top, and had some honk in the midrange on occasion ; The TH-BA1 does not...

The TH-BA1 offers a compelling value proposition in this interesting and competitive category. While it isn't exactly exciting looking (the boxy sub is really basic in profile), the feature set is more than good enough. It's hard to find Dolby...

JVC TH-BA1 Soundbar System with Wireless SubwooferReview

 

JVC's 4.1 channel soundbar system packs a wireless subwoofer, a simple-but-effective remote and considerable bang for the buck.

As a final listening test, I watched a few re-runs of "Seinfeld," a little Weather Channel and the evening news. You know, the stuff you watch every day. On each of these, the TH-BA1 made its raison d'etre ever clearer. This is first and foremost a...

JVC TH-BA1 – single sound bar without wires, no HDMI

 

You must need a sound bar HTIB (home theater in a box) system for a simple and absolute home theater. JVC TH-BA1 is such a standard configuration of long speaker with wireless sub-woofer. It does not have any pesky wires and AV receiver. It has...

Three inputs – one stereo analog and two digital optical; basic remote control; solid and excellent sound and music quality; wireless subwoofer; sound bar for home theater

Lackluster style; no HDMI connection

If you need a single sound bar without annoying wires and heavy AV receiver for your home theater and do not need direct HDMI connection, then you can buy new – JVC TH-BA1.

JVC TH-BA1 review

 

It's not got much going for it in the looks department, but this JVC is a tidy performer that shines even at high volumes

Poised, unstressed and widescreen sound ; wireless subwoofer

Looks and finish are nothing to write home about ; sub could get more involved

Overlook the JVC’s cosmetic shortcomings and there’s plenty to like here

Consumer review (newegg.com)

NOT HAPPY WITH IT

 

It convenient to purchase thru the internet, but these types of items you really need to see/feel and hear. The sound quality isn't that great.

Look nice, quality built, remote easy to use, JVC is suppose to be good, is why I bought it

I'm very disappointed in this, I should have returned it. My widescreen TV has horrible sound quality, so I wanted something to give me an surround sound effect. It makes a high pitch noise on certain channels. Plus it doesn't go past number 40 for...
