Your TV just can’t offer the rich, powerful sound you deserve, but JBL has meant great sound for cinemas, recording studios, and concert halls for nearly a century. Bring our level of craft to your own home.

- Night listening: Enjoy your favorite shows or movies without disturbing others. Just put the wireless detachable speakers in front of you and use the JBL ONE app to turn on night listening. The soundbar and the subwoofer are automatically muted, while the speakers deliver an intimate high-quality audio experience just for one. Or two.

The sound is spectacular!
I don’t know where to begin. First of all this is an incredibly versatile and dynamic system. The detachable rear surround speakers are a game changer! They’re wireless and can be fully charged when attached back on the main unit soundbar. Depending on how much Dolby Atmos content you watch you may need to charge it each night before you go to bed or it may last 2-3 days before you need to charge. I know JBL states that the wireless speakers last for 10 hours but at least in my personal experience it feels closer to 12-14. It really depends on how home theater content you watch during the day and by home theater I mean specifically Dolby Atmos content. Before I bought this system I thought having to charge the speakers each night before bed would be a pain. But it is quite the opposite. It’s actually painless and fun to charge and to attach or detach them from the main unit. It sounds like it would be cumbersome but trust me when you actually do it you realize how much of a breeze and easy it is to do! The soundstage this thing produces is amazing! It has transformed my living room into a movie theater! The base is boomy and powerful but not too overwhelming and dialogue comes through perfect! Gaming is also out of this world! Just Buy it. Now!

Immersive Sound
The JBl Bar1300MK2 is AMAZING! The previous (Yamaha) soundbar I was using was great, but this JBL soundbar system truly makes you feel like you are in the movie or in a theater. The detachable speakers add so much depth and immersion while watching movies/shows. I have only had to turn it up to about 15-17 and it rocks. There have even been a few times when I was startled (in a fun way) by sound effects that felt as if they came from behind me. The bass is thunderous, but clear and crisp, yet subtle when it needs to be. Setup was as easy as plugging it in and downloading the app. I like that you can make adjustments to the sound settings for each of the speakers in the app. Watching movies at home has now gone up to a whole new level with this system!

Great for Movies, just OK for music
This bar sounds great when playing a movie. The detachable rear speakers are convenient. I was hopeful they would also be great for music and give us the opportunity to move a speaker outside and to another room so we could enjoy throughout our home. The rear speakers don’t get very loud even when turning their volume to max. That feature is meh. Overall sound quality for music is fine, nothing to brag about, but movies sound great!
