JBL Boost TV Compact Bluetooth Soundbar Review
The JBL Boost TV Compact Bluetooth Soundbar is an excellent choice for those who want to improve their TV audio experience with powerful, room-filling sound. It comes with optical digital audio with Dolby Digital, which allows you to connect one cable to your HDTV and experience movie sound the way it is meant to be heard. The soundbar is compact, measuring only 15" long, but it delivers knockout sound quality for your bedroom or home theater TV. It features deep bass, virtual surround sound, and JBL SoundShift technology that works with your TV and wireless mobile device at the same time to allow you to automatically switch between the sound from your TV and the sound from your phone or tablet. The soundbar also has wireless Bluetooth streaming and dual bass port design. You can easily set it up with a simple analog or digital (optical) one-cable connection to your television. The JBL Boost TV comes with a remote control, or you can use your own TV remote control. JBL Connect technology wirelessly links multiple JBL Connect enabled speakers together.
