Android TV is still an excellent (if utilitarian) option, The audio sounds much better than a TV alone, The remote control is decent
It's a pricey device, Some apps are missing, and OS can lag a little, You might well need additional remotes
The one thing that's been rolling around my brain with all of these sound bars is this: What, exactly, do you get for the money? If all you need is a really good soundbar, well, this is that.But it's a soundbar without a subwoofer. If you want that really...
Clear, wide soundstage, Easy to use, Built-in Google Assistant, Built-in Android TV streaming

All-in-one design, Better than average remote control, Audio quality as you would expect from JBL, Option to connect & control other entertainment devices
Cheap design, Even an exterminator would struggle with all the bugs, Too expensive for what you get, Extremely limited storage, Performance is a problem

Lag with Chromecast, Finicky Google Assistant integration, Unable to add Link Bar to a preexisting Google Home speaker group
