Our verdict

The Bar 500MK2 is a sensible shortlist choice for buyers wanting an included subwoofer, flexible streaming and dialogue controls without placing rear speakers. Its lack of upward-firing drivers and 4K/120Hz passthrough makes it less suitable for dedicated immersive-audio or high-refresh-rate gaming setups.

Pros

  • +Includes a dedicated 10-inch wireless subwoofer rather than requiring a separate bass upgrade.
  • +HDMI eARC, an HDMI input and optical connectivity accommodate different TV setups.
  • +Extensive network-streaming support and dialogue-adjustment tools add flexibility beyond movie playback.

Cons

  • −No separate rear speakers or upward-firing drivers for discrete surround and height reproduction.
  • −4K/60Hz passthrough limits its usefulness between a high-refresh-rate console or PC and the TV.

Frequently asked

Does it include rear speakers or upward-firing Atmos drivers?

No. The package contains the soundbar and subwoofer, without separate rear speakers or upward-firing drivers.

Can it pass through 4K video at 120Hz?

No. Its video passthrough tops out at 4K/60Hz, so it is not a 4K/120Hz passthrough solution for gaming.

Which wireless music services and protocols does it support?

JBL lists AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and Roon Ready, alongside Bluetooth.

Can the US model play music from USB?

Yes. JBL specifies MP3 playback through USB-A on the US version; USB is service-only in other regions.

What tools are available for dialogue and room adjustment?

PureVoice 2.0 provides dialogue enhancement, while automatic sound calibration and the JBL One app provide room adjustment and equalization.
