JBL Bar Studio -soundbar, musta

Instant improvement of my cheap TV set. Great upgrade for any TV

I've owned my JBL Bar Studio for over a year now, and watching movies is really a problem...the sound keeps cutting throughout the movies. I have to connect via Bluetooth through my laptop for fluent sound quality. Really disappointed

Sound quality is good for the size, far bettrer than the LCD speakers, but the sound does frequently mute /fade in and out which was mostly cured by a software update.

I'm still left with occasional hiccups in sound even in the louder parts of audio.

Been using for 3-4 months. I am using it with my samsung 43-7470 tv, thru HDMI ARC channel. There are connectivity issues. The TV takes a little time to get switched on and stabilize by connecting to wifi (it is a smart tv) etc, the sound bar switches off. I have to switch it on again and wait till it connects thru ARC. It is really frustrating. It happens every time.

Moreover, the power cable pin sits in the slot very loosely. Just a small shake of the soundbar and it gets disconnected though present in the slot.

I dont have the hopes that JBL will be releasing some firmware also, as I feel that they will be improving the next production pieces.
