It looks like the Fire TV Stick 4K doesn't do Atmos with the JBL Bar 9.1. I don't think the Cube TV does it too. I just picked up a Shield TV 2019 and Atmos works on Netflix and Disney+. The system will tell you in the front that it's doing Atmos so don't believe on what you see just on screen on any app. The trick with the Shield TV is that you need to turn off Dolby Surround in the audio settings.
The Sonos Arc is out now and honestly it's a good system but overall this JBL Bar 9.1 fits my needs better. It's has Bluetooth, HDMI IN, chromecast, DTS-X, and fully wireless up-firing rears. If all you want to do is get a single sound bar setup and didn't want to spend more then $800 then get Sonos Arc as it's a great speaker just by itself. If you want more and want the complete package then just spend $200 more period.
US version doesn't get the 4 side caps after all. Which sucks and u wish you could just buy them separately. I'm still talking to JBL about giving them to me so we'll see. JBL should've included them in the first place, come on we are spending $1,000 on this.
******
I don't write a lot of reviews and honestly this is probably my first one ever on Amazon. I feel like I need to with this product just to defend it after reading the other reviews so far.
I got my unit about 1 1/2 weeks ago and so far it's been near perfect. There were some hiccups in the beginning but I haven't had any issues since. This is an excellent surround system period! Yeah it's true that this isn't a ture 9.1 system like one of the reviewer said but what it does have is 9 separate channels of sound though. It's all just marketing from JBL. I don't mind it being just a 5.1.4 system as all I really wanted were the up firing Atmos speakers. One thing that I do wish this had are some side firing speakers to make it 7.1.4 like the Q90R. That system is $1,600 though.
In the box I was missing the 4 side caps though but I think that was by accident maybe. I did reach out to JBL to see why it was missing. They didn't mention that it wasn't part of the US packaging. They don't have it in stock at this time but will ship them out to me once they are. I did get the mounting brackets though unlike the other reviewer. Also I didn't know it was supposed to come with micro USB cables as well but that's fine as I will just get some later on if I decide to hard power the rears.
I was able to calibrate my system just fine. It's a 2 stage process and takes a few minutes. I didn't have to do anything extra then what I saw in the manual. I do wish the remote had more buttons for Night Mode, Smart Mode (Hold mute for 5 secs, let go and hit VOL +), & Sound Mode (EQ modes if they did support it like the Bar 5.1). Yeah I do wish this system had more refine settings to mess with like the menu system on my Sony. It would've been great if it did have an app for it as well.
My TV does support Atmos but I plugged my Fire Stick 4K directly into the Bar 9.1. My Disney+ does show Atmos along with Vision. Netflix is showing Vision only but I wasn't aware that the app on the Stick 4K doesn't support Atmos. I'm looking to either get the Shield TV (2019) or the new Apple TV 4K whenever it comes out. The Stick 4K does support YouTube HDR though. I'm planning to upgrade my TV either this year or the next with eARC support and ATSC 3.0. I'm eyeballing the Sony 900H at this time.
The rear battery life have been great so far. I have been able to watch several TV shows and movies the night before then wake up to watch additional TV without charging them again. It does prompt you when they are low though so you could either charge them via micro USB or with the bar. I believe it does have quick charge but I'm not too sure. I do wish you could tell how much battery life is left though. You could however hit the power button to see the LED indicator, again app support would've been nice. Having no wires is awesome though and it's nice knowing that I could always hard wire them in the future if I wanted to.
Chromecast aka Google Cast + Airplay 2 support are great and was one of the main reasons why I got this unit over the Samsung Q90R plus I'm a Google fan! The bass is booming and I love being able to turn it up or down. I use this for music too over Bluetooth and casting, both sound awesome but casting will give you higher fidelity. Of course each peices of this setup won't sound as nice as a Sonos setup (~$1,800 total for ARC, Sub, 2 Ones) but it's not meant to be at almost half the price. Sonos doesn't have have DTS-X or HDMI INs though which are deal breakers for a lot of people out there. I does have support for Airplay 2 but I don't think you could Chromecast though. Having 820W on the JBL Bar 9.1 makes this system louder then the Q90R which was one of the main complaint about it.
Overall it's an awesome system that is near perfect. I'm still giving it 5 stars though because basically JBL gave us everything necessary in a modern system without any extra for a great price. Yeah this system will be on sale eventually at $800 or less but I couldn't wait and I'm glad that I got it now instead. They're still hard to find at this time though being sold out everywhere. If you could get one now you should. It's worth every penny like most JBL products are. Good luck with your shopping and thanks for reading my long review.
The BAR 9.1's surround sound capability is nothing short of spectacular. Whether you're watching an action-packed movie, enjoying a live concert, or lost in the world of your favorite video game, the sound envelops you in a 360-degree auditory bliss. The speakers seem to disappear, leaving you in a bubble of perfect sound that's both powerful and precise.
It's not just about the volume; it's about the clarity and depth. Every instrument, every voice, and every sound effect is rendered with such fidelity that you can close your eyes and feel like you're there. The BAR 9.1 doesn't just play sound, it paints auditory landscapes.
In terms of usability, JBL has outdone itself. The setup is a breeze, the interface is intuitive, and the compatibility with various devices makes it a versatile addition to any entertainment setup. It's a plug-and-play masterpiece that integrates seamlessly with your lifestyle.
But what truly sets the JBL BAR 9.1 apart is its ability to transform any room into a cinema. The dynamic range and the power of the sound create an experience that's not just heard but felt. It's as if you're not just watching a movie; you're a part of it.
To sum it up, the JBL BAR 9.1 is more than a sound bar; it's an audio revolution. Whether you're an audiophile, a movie buff, or just someone who appreciates great sound, this is the sound bar that you've been waiting for. Five stars don't seem enough for this masterpiece of sound engineering.

Cons: constantly searching for wifi signal (no way to disable this) questionable software support, turns itself on (interrupting the rear speaker charge cycle) questionable quality control. Drops rear signal to either speaker once in a while.
I absolutely love this system and hope it lasts for years. Grab an extended warranty. There is definitely a chance you'll be needing it. Ive had mine since Boxing Day and use it every day.

A couple negatives that makes it a 4 star system to me. A few times when I attempt to switch to my streaming device from tv the switch doesn’t work and I have to unplug the sound bar to get it to reset. And I had a short duration power outage, when power was restored I couldn’t get tv sound. The other inputs worked, streamer and Bluetooth, I tried everything to fix it to no avail. Went out for a couple of hours, came home and turned it on and everything was fine. I suspect I have a faulty hdmi cable
