JVC TH-BA1 Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer Reviews

Review by Dougo:

You should know that a soundbar is not replacement for a home theater system. You are not going to the full impact bass and big room filling sound with a soundbar. What are you going to get? Convenience, simplicity and, if you set your expectations right, pleasing sound.

The JVC TH-BA1 delivers high value performance. It’s an attractive, well built unit which provides sound that will probably put your TV audio to shame (it did mine – a Panasonic Viera plasma). The wireless subwoofer is a little muddy and undefined but does not overpower or boom. The unit has no variable crossover control but the factory setting sounds very balanced. You just plug it into a wall power outlet and follow the extremely simple pairing instructions and you are up in less than a minute.

The 2 surround settings are very subtle and natural sounding, avoiding that fake effect of many units. There are 2 optical inputs, so if you are not using HDMI this could come in handy for game consoles, disc players or DVRs. The small remote has the basic controls, plus the ability to control the relative loundness of the the center and surround channels, and the subwoofer. For you Tivo owners, the JVC codes work and you can control volume with your Tivo remote.

I choose this JVC unit over the Polk and Boston Acoustic offerings. I’d be curious to hear those units, but am very satisfied with the JVC. I recommend the TH-BA1 to anyone who wants to upgrade their TV sound without the expense and hassle of a full blown home theater system.

Review by Robert A. Hoffman:

Pros:

- Easy set up

- Great remote (bumping up dialogue, bass, etc. is a breeze)

- Display is on front bar, not sub

- Sound quality

Cons:

- Subwoofer is only OK. Far far better than just using the tv speakers, but a far cry from a 0+ sub in a real 5.1 surround set up. This adds some oomph, but doesn’t shake the room or rattle the bones the way a more expensive sub does.

- It is not as “pretty” as some others (Sony 100 or Vizio 210), so might not be ideal in a nice living room.

- No HDMI connectivity (not a negative for me but may be for some)

Overall, a better choice for me than the Sony (no wireless sub, display is on the sub) or Vizio (no center channel/dialogue adjustment on the remote).

For a living room I’d want something with a higher quality sub, but for a secondary system for under 0, I think the JVC TH-BA1 is excellent.

JVC NXPS1 Audio System with iPod Connect Reviews

Review by Rich:

Ok, I got these speakers because I loved the little digital receiver and the tight bass sound, even though I already have a Creative I-itrigue L3800 computer speakers. First off, the built quality is great and sound quality is phenomenal for a sub/equal to $[...] speakers. The four cubes design is very modern, small and compact. The digital receiver you see in the picture is the same size as the speakers cube. The tiny subwoofer is one of the best out there.

Sound comparisons:

I am going to compare this to my older L-itrigue 3800 that is my standard for computer speakers. I am playing this off a Sound Blaster’s Fatality sound card. The L-itrigue is much better overall for sound. It produced excellent high and mid range sound, but good bass. This NXPS1 produced excellent low (bass) and midrange, but only good high. The NXPS1 is a better choice for hip-hop, rap and drum and bass Jazz (Boney James), since the bass is a lot tighter and sounds fuller. I prefer vocal, trance/dance, classical jazz, rock and the I-itrigue is way better. You can hear the vocals (S. Brightman) for rock (Duran) and alternative (Bush, Travis) music much cleaner on the Creative, but kind of muggy on NXPS1. Other music like new age (Engima), trance/ techno (PVK), lounge (St. Germaine) music, and some jazz also perform much better on the I-itrigue with better high, so you get more ambient atmosphere: chiming. The I-trigue bass crack at higher (max) volume then the JVC. The JVC power output is similar to Creative, but seems get much louder, both are powerful enough for computer use.

Features:

JVC hands down is better or cooler, but there are some features that bugged me. First, this is designed for iPods, but only support 4th and 5th generation iPod, so my 3rd or 2nd generation iPod from 2004 will not work. This is also listed in the user manual. The USB audio on the back of the receiver produce a max. of 16bit 48000 Hz, which is a joke, the sound is so flat compare to my Sound blaster card max sound rate of 24bit 192000 Hz. This will produce a higher sound fidelity/range. So I have to run my cable from the sound card to the front panel of the AUX input. The USB memory card will read mp3 sound excellently, but doesn’t read my napster’s wma. The JVC receiver has more features then the Creative one, like the USB and IPod input, both have headphone and AUX input. JVC has play, pause, stop buttons and a digital track on the receiver that works for the USB memory, but doesn’t affect my iPod at all, nor does the remote. Both have a mini remote that looks like they were manufacture from the same factory, but JVC has 2x the buttons on it. Also the JVC have a digital timer, sleep and timer, which only a few sub-100 speakers has.

I think the JVC is a great overall speaker for sound and features. Too bad the Creative I-itrigue 3800 sound is a little better, but most people can’t really tell. I will keep both for now.

Review by K. O’DELL:

This is a great little stereo system. It works well with my ipod and the sound can be very loud and clear. And its small enough that it can fit anywhere (except the subwoofer). Only downfall, is you can only choose the next song or previous song with the remote control on ipod setting. You cant change the artist, etc. You have to do that from your actual ipod. It did shut my ipod off completley once, I had to reset my ipod…I guess there are still some minor querks. But all in all it is a good product, worth the money spent.

I recommend it.

JVC CS-V6935 6×9-Inch 3-Way Coaxial Speakers (Single, Blue) Reviews

Review by Steven Whalen:

they handle sound levels at higher volumes than stock without distortion, but the tweeters on these are so powerful, and they lack almost all bottom end. they sound like really loud tweeters. might be because they’re new, could likely be the factory head unit in my 05 accord, but as for factory replacements, they suck. would sound good if you threw in a subwoofer, but if you’re just trying to replace your stock 6×9′s, i’d suggest going with something different, because these will hurt your ears in a bad way.
