The affordable JBL Bar 5.0 soundbar has returned to its lowest sale price to date as a reputable online retailer is currently selling the speaker system with Virtual Dolby Atmos support and 4K passthrough for just US$199 until the end of the week.

JBL might not be the most-recognized brand name in the audio segment anymore, but even after its acquisition by the South Korean tech giant Samsung, the Los Angeles-based company has a bunch of noteworthy products in its lineup. The JBL Bar 5.0 might be one of its most intriguing soundbars, especially since it regularly goes on sale with rather significant discounts.

For instance, the Amazon-owned online retailer Woot is once again selling the aforementioned JBL Bar 5.0 soundbar with Virtual Dolby Atmos for just US$199 including free shipping for Prime subscribers. This sale matches an identical deal from last month, as it offers the same massive 50 percent or US$200 discount in comparison to the official list price. Please note that this offer for the JBL Bar 5.0 soundbar will expire at the end of the week, or earlier if sold out.

In addition to Virtual Dolby Atmos, this soundbar supports 4K passthrough via HDMI while the MultiBeam feature of the JBL Bar 5.0 should create a quite immersive sound stage, although the system does not feature dedicated surround speakers or subwoofer like traditional AVR-centered home theater setups. Further impressions of this adequately priced soundbar can be found in Rtings’ comprehensive review, which further mentions the high maximum volume and bass adjustment feature as two of the strengths of this reasonably priced speaker system.
