JBL Cinema SB270, 2.1ch, 220W Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer - In Stock @Price in Kenya

Design and Build

The SB270 has a simple and clean design that won’t take up too much space in your living room. The main unit measures 900 x 62 x 67 mm and weighs 1.65 kg, making it compact enough to sit comfortably under most TVs. It pairs with a wireless subwoofer, which measures 200 x 320 x 280 mm and weighs 5 kg. This gives you the flexibility to place the subwoofer anywhere in the room for optimal bass.

Sound Quality

When it comes to audio, the SB270 offers a clear and dynamic experience. The soundbar has a frequency response range of 40Hz to 20kHz, which ensures deep bass and sharp highs. The total power output is 220W, which is decent for most rooms. You’ll notice the immersive Dolby Digital sound, especially when watching movies, as it adds a sense of depth and atmosphere. There's also a dedicated sound mode designed to enhance voice clarity, making dialogue easier to follow, which is great for TV shows and movies with lots of speech.

Connectivity and Features

The SB270 excels in connectivity options. It features Bluetooth 4.2, allowing you to stream music wirelessly from your phone or laptop. For seamless audio and video sync, the soundbar supports HDMI ARC, so you can connect it to your TV without worrying about lag. There’s also an optical port for additional setup options. However, the USB Type-A port is for service use only, which limits its functionality.

Performance and Power

In terms of power, the soundbar’s 220W output is more than enough to fill a medium-sized room with sound. The subwoofer adds an extra layer of punch, delivering deep bass for action scenes or music tracks with heavy beats. The racetrack drivers (48 x 90 mm) and tweeters (0.5 inches) in the main unit handle midrange and high frequencies well, making it a balanced sound setup.

At a starting price of KSh 36,000, the JBL Cinema SB270 offers good value for those looking for a versatile sound system. Its combination of wireless subwoofer, Dolby Digital sound, and flexible connectivity options makes it a great choice for people who want to improve their TV sound without spending a lot.
