The JBL Bar 500 MK2 has too few audio channels. I recommend going for at least the 1300 MK2 (or the 1000 series) to get 7.1.4 channels.

I have a JBL bar 1000 (not the 1300) and assuming their software is similar they have one MAJOR flaw: their AI voice enhancer mode (pure voice) and smart EQ/upmixer (smart mode) are ALWAYS enabled by default when you power on the soundbar.

Sonos Arc Ultra. One thing I have noticed which really separate Sonos and Bose is the clearity of sound you get from Soundbars. I have used JBl BAR 1000 and Samsungs at my friends house and I have Bose and tested Sonos. No comparison of Bose and Sonos in quality, calibration of each sound and crisp,

To me, jbl sounded like it was wrapped around a cloth and being played not that great clarity and the bass, i don't know I could only see the sub shaking but not feel anything since ig the shop was pretty big, couldn't pressurize that area well.

Tem as soundbar como a JBL BAR 1000, que pelo preço acho que eu ainda iria com receiver colocando caixas simples e depois ir colocando as reais. Tem também algumas genéricas sem marca por menos da metade do preço, mas também tem home theater antigo por 500 reais e não é por isso que a gente compra.
