Our Verdict

JBL Bar 9.1

Vizio Elevate

JBL Bar 9.1 is a better soundbar than the Vizio Elevate. The JBL has a somewhat more balanced default sound profile, so it's suitable for a wider variety of audio content. It also offers better center channel and surround performance, though both bars have a similarly wide soundstage. It also has a room correction feature and is compatible with Apple AirPlay, unlike the Vizio. The Vizio comes with more sound enhancement options, like bass and treble adjustment and a dialogue enhancement mode.
