We cannot forget that it is compatible with high-resolution audio transmission technology.\u00a0This delivers improved audio quality when connecting different devices.\u00a0Another striking function is the\u00a0HDMI CEC\u00a0control that allows you to control the bar with the remote control.<\/p>\n<h2>Sound quality and functions in general<\/h2>\n<p>We find the\u00a0JBL Bar 800\u00a0excellent for your movies, TV shows and music as it sounds amazing.\u00a0This is achieved in part by its eight full-range speakers, along with its two tweeters.\u00a0Through this system, clear and detailed sound is delivered across the entire frequency spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the technologies that it integrates, which are an important section.\u00a0Here we highlight the\u00a0JBL Surround Sound\u00a0, which uses digital signal processing in search of providing immersive audio that immerses you in the action in any content.\u00a0We find it an extremely effective feature for action movies and video games.<\/p>\n<p>This is because it provides an immersive and exciting experience at the same time.\u00a0Exploring in detail we find several modes that can be adjusted according to your preferences and the content you are watching or listening to.\u00a0A clear example is the night mode that reduces the level of bass\u00a0and\u00a0treble so as not to disturb your neighbors\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>The dialogue mode is an option of great interest, since it increases the clarity of the voices.\u00a0It also offers an automatic adjustment that, as its name mentions, is in charge of automatically optimizing the sound for the different contents.\u00a0Echo cancellation helps reduce reverberations in a room, improving quality.<\/p>\n<h2>Is it worth buying it?<\/h2>\n<p><a

system at a general level due to the quality it brings, added to a good optimization together with features that favor the final result.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to purchase the\u00a0JBL Bar 800\u00a0depends entirely on your preferences and needs, although as you can see it is a high-quality sound bar that is also versatile.\u00a0In general terms, it gives us a fairly clear sound that provides a unique experience, especially if you have tried a similar system.<\/p>\n<p>In case your needs are not many, surely it is convenient for you to acquire a cheaper option, unless the budget is not a problem for you.\u00a0For its range it seems to us to be one of the best alternatives,\u00a0but to be honest it maintains a high price that not many can afford\u00a0, so quite a good thing.<\/p>\n<h2>JBL Bar 800: Pros and cons<\/h2>\n<p><strong>PROS<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Design<\/li>\n<li>Connectivity<\/li>\n<li>Sound<\/li>\n<li>Enhancement features<\/li>\n<li>Sound
