*Read Edit at the bottom*--Original review:Very balanced & melodious sound signature! Set it on movie mode and forget playing with its settings - oh well there isn't anything to do on remote as you can't adjust bass treble. I don't mind that! The soundbar is tuned so well for balanced sound that it won't irritate you and you will actually enjoy listening for long hours.Note: My observations below are based on 'Movie' mode which I think is best mode. Music mode is like 60-65% voice and rest is of instruments - perfect for those who can't tolerate noise (loud music). When you set on Music mode the overall volume sounds lower.*Trebles* - Clear trebles - you will hear many music instruments which you miss completely in bass heavy speakers.*Bass* - Detailed bass - all lower bass and not much mid & upper bass. No boomy and vibrating bass - its clean high quality bass, absolutely no distortion. Also no artificial beats, boomy effects.Bass in quantity vs bass in quality - you have to experience it to understand!This soundbar produces the quality one.*Dialogues/Vocals* - Vocals are great and sounds natural!Perfect for pairing with TV, you will enjoy OTT movies and shows. You don't have to adjust volume levels frequently as with other soundbars! This cinema series is specifically designed for movies and tv shows binging - in which it excels!My first budget soundbar from quality brand, a level above zebronics, moto, boats, govos etc products under 10k. Got it at 9k, sounds like worth it for how it performs.*Cons* -- If you like bass a lot, you won't like it. Note that this soundbar does give good bass whose quality is far better than cheap soundbars but its less in quantity specially when you increase volume you'd expect bit more bass which feel lacking.- I noticed this soundbar has in-built volume normalizer. When there is very loud sound the soundbar reduces volume lower than what the actual volume level is playing at. The volume should normalize to current volume level and not reduce it lower. For example, if volume level is set at 50% and when normalizer kicks in it will reduce volume to 20% Note that it happens to very specific frequencies that product high volume and I didn't face it with all content. Still I wish they could fix it with firmware update. Since its a bit older product now I don't expect any update on firmware.- No led display- Bluetooth sound performance not good enough, stick to HDMI Arc or at least OpticalConclusion:If you consumption is mostly on TV Shows, Movies side then Highly recommended for TV!Music experience is also very sweet but it's NOT for loud/party music. At high volume bass will be quite less and with volume normalizer feature it is kind of not great experience.*Edit (November 2024)*While what I wrote above holds true but I have moved away from soundbars! Ever since I heard bookshelf speakers - they outperform soundbars by quite a distance - it's like experiencing whole new world. Don't buy soundbars - buy at least active bookshelf speakers something like JBL Nako K4 pair around 11-12k, Swans D1080-IVB at 12k Or you can get old passive speakers of Sony, Onkyo, Philips, Aiwa, Samsung etc. under 5k and connect them with cheap class D amplifiers like Aiyima T9, Fosi BT20A Pro, Aiyima A07 Max, Fosi BT20A. This will perform better than even expensive soundbars.

I recently purchased the JBL Cinema SB271 Dolby Digital Soundbar, and I'm quite pleased with my purchase. Overall, I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars. This soundbar may be an entry-level product, but it delivers higher-quality sound than expected, making it a worthy addition to your home theater setup.The package arrived promptly and in good condition, thanks to Amazon's packaging and delivery standards. Setting up the soundbar was a breeze, thanks to the detailed and easy-to-follow instruction handbook. It includes the soundbar, a wireless subwoofer, and an HDMI (ARC) cable, as well as fixtures for wall mounting.The product appearance is stylish and appealing, adding a touch of elegance to any living room. The sound quality is impressive, providing a greater audio experience compared to standard TV speakers. It's suitable for various uses, from watching sports and movies to enjoying music with family and friends.Connecting the soundbar to the TV is simple, just plug in the HDMI cord, and it works flawlessly. However, the Bluetooth connectivity could have been better. Sometimes, the connection between the soundbar and subwoofer can be a bit tricky, and the back light indicator is confusing. Turning on the subwoofer before the soundbar might take some getting used to, but it's a minor inconvenience.The soundbar lacks variable equalizer settings, except for News, Music, and Movie modes. Despite this limitation, the sound quality remains promising and provides excellent value for money. If you're looking to enhance your sound experience without spending a fortune on elaborate sound configurations, this soundbar is more than sufficient.However, it may not be the best choice for heavy metal enthusiasts or those with specific tweeter quality and bass requirements. Also, keep in mind that it doesn't support advanced audio formats like Atmos or Dolby.In conclusion, the JBL Cinema SB271 Dolby Digital Soundbar is an excellent option for anyone seeking an affordable and stylish sound upgrade. With its impressive sound quality, easy setup, and overall performance, it represents excellent value for money. If you're in the market for a reliable and feature-packed soundbar, the JBL Cinema SB271 is worth considering.
