JBL Bar 5.0 Multibeam - Soundbar Review

We all know that gaming with a headset is the best way to experience a game's audio, but what if you don't want to wear a headset? TV audio is terrible and there's a lot you miss out on, but how much better are soundbars and can they really justify the $$ outlay? Well this is the very reason when I was offered the chance to review the JBL Bar 5.0 Multibeam soundbar. I wanted to find out for myself.
