JBL Bar 500MK2 5.1 Soundbar (Renewed) — Dolby Atmos, 750W, 10" Sub! $549.99 CAD (39% Off)

Amazon.ca has the JBL Bar 500MK2 5.1-channel soundbar system as an Amazon Renewed unit for $549.99 CAD (list $899.98, 39% off). Prime members ship free; otherwise orders over $35 CAD ship free.

First, what "Renewed" means here: a tested, repackaged unit rather than new retail stock, with a 90-day warranty instead of the original year. It's roughly $350 below new, so whether it's worth it comes down to how you feel about that shorter warranty.

The hardware is JBL's mid-to-upper tier: 5.1 channels, 750W of total system power and a 10" wireless subwoofer. Dolby Atmos is what supplies height — a plane passing overhead, rain arriving from every side — which a 2.1 bar can't reproduce. MultiBeam 3.0 widens the stage so you're in the middle of it from any seat, PureVoice 2.0 raises dialogue automatically based on the scene's ambient sound and your volume so quiet lines don't get buried, and SmartDetails keeps the small stuff — a creaking door, a shout in the distance — in the mix.

Connectivity covers HDMI (including eARC), optical, USB, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and the box includes an HDMI cable, remote, batteries and wall-mount brackets. Bar and sub together weigh 16.78 kg.

The rating is 5.0 but from only 13 reviews, so treat it as a small sample. What's there: the outer box was clearly opened and resealed while the bar and sub arrived in near-mint condition, every feature and connection worked, and setup took under ten minutes; another owner calls it the most effortless system he's had, with the TV and bar controlling each other. The risks are plain — renewed unit, 90 days of warranty, thin review base. If you want Atmos without paying $900, this is a fair price; if a long warranty matters, pay more for new.
