Deal | JBL Bar 500 5.1 soundbar with Dolby Atmos and 590 watts gets 25% discount and drops to lowest price yet

Not every prospective soundbar buyer has enough space behind the sofa to accommodate dedicated rear speakers, which is why audio specialists like JBL have developed a technology that simulates the surround sound of a full-fledged 5.1 array with Dolby Atmos. Fittingly, the Bar 500 with the corresponding MultiBeam feature has now been put on sale at multiple retailers in the United States.

Both Best Buy and Amazon are currently selling the JBL Bar 500, which has a total output power of 590 watts as well as Dolby Atmos support, for US$449 including free shipping or store pickup. This deal for the 5.1 soundbar offers a discount of US$150 or 25 percent in comparison to the official MSRP, which is a noteworthy price reduction considering that this audio system has only been on the market for a few months. Accordingly, a reputable price tracker indicates that this is Amazon's lowest price ever for the JBL Bar 500.

In addition to the aforementioned MultiBeam feature that works best with Dolby Atmos tracks, the JBL 5.1 soundbar sports a powerful 10-inch subwoofer for a more thunderous low-frequency rumble that is particularly important for action movie fans. Rtings' detailed review also praises the Bar 500 for its clear dialogue reproduction and the well-working room correction function. Unfortunately, the bass and treble cannot be adjusted, but the reviewers still deemed the audio system to be "very good for mixed usage". Although this speaker system may experience even further price drops in the future, this is the best deal yet for this 2023 soundbar from JBL.
