The JBL Link Bar is a few devices rolled into one – a smart speaker, a soundbar, and an Android TV box. It performs decently, but it's a jack of all trades and master of none. It's a bit pricey too – starting at an RRP of $600 for the soundbar alone, and...

Abstract: The JBL Link Bar seemed like the answer to my cluttered TV console when I first saw it last year at Google's developer conference. It combines a soundbar, an Android TV box and a Google Assistant smart speaker in one device.But after months of delay, I...

Good audio upgrade over TV speakers, Replaces three types of devices, especially for less-demanding users, Plenty of ports,
Google Assistant slow to respond, Meagre internal storage, Android TV interface could be snappier

Indbygget Android TV, Spiller godt, Masser af indgange
Google Assistant er langsom, Ingen mulighed for surround sound, En del softwarefejl
JBL Link Bar spiller overraskende godt, men skuffer til gengæld på nogle områder, som ellers vejer tungt hos andre Android TV-enheder...

Low-key design, Decent sound, Android TV onboard, Google Chromecast support, Google Assistant support to control soundbar and smart home, Bluetooth connectivity for streaming, HDMI ARC/HDMI-CEC support, Three HDMI inputs, Four EQ modes, PrivacySwitch for
Inconsistent HDMI-CEC performance, 2-channel audio, Lower half of the volume scale seems lower than it should be, Missing key remote pairing instruction in Quick Start Guide, No custom EQ option, A bit pricey
Quirks aside, if your TV is still fine and you're looking to upgrade your sound and its smarts, the JBL LINK BAR will definitely do both. You'll definitely want to ensure your TV is HDMI ARC/HDMI-CEC compatible to take full advantage of the soundbar and i...
Abstract: De JBL Link Bar ziet er uit als een normale soundbar. Maar schijn bedriegt, want hij heeft een dubbelfunctie als Android TV Speler. Het maakt van je televisie dus een smart-TV, zodat je apps als Netflix gewoon kunt streamen op je televisie zonder tussenko...

Voice controlling music is as good as any smart speaker, Good range of connectivity, Weighty, punchy sound
Voice commands are slow, and badly optimized for video content, Insists on turning on TV when you're listening to music, Limited selection of streaming apps in the UK, Sound lacks refinement

JBL Link Bar är verkligen flera produkter i en - på gott och ont. Riktpriset på cirka 4 000 kronor kan låta dyrt, men tänk på att du får en välljudande soundbar, en smart högtalare och en Android TV-box ála Nvidia Shield i ett och samma paket. Då blir det...

Android TV built-in, Solid, clear and natural sound, Vast array of inputs,
Not as cinematic as rivals, Currently lacks some apps,
The JBL Link Bar lacks the cinematic spectacle of some of its rivals but gets the sonic basics right. It's a solid music player and will prove a big improvement over the sound of the vast majority of TVs. That said, the Sonos Beam is an even more musical...
Interface can be slow, No expandable media support, Limited Google Assistant features
At $399, the JBL Link Bar isn't exactly cheap, but it's no more expensive than the Sonos Beam which only includes Google Assistant. To match the functionality offered by JBL's soundbar, you'd need to buy a Sonos Bean and a $100 Android TV box. If you pref...
