When you’re not watching TV, pair one or both of the detachable speakers to any Bluetooth device for portable and powerful sound anywhere in your home. And all of this works seamlessly with your TV. 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.

- MultiBeam 3.0: Wherever you're sitting, you'll be in the middle of the action. Our MultiBeam 3.0 delivers a wide, cinema-like soundstage that makes every high-speed chase or epic fight scene come alive. The sound beams perfectly fill your room, delivering the most immersive, lifelike, and realistic sound reproduction.

So you'll always hear every word, clearly and consistently, in cinema-quality sound.
- SmartDetails: Hear all the subtleties in a film's sound mix, just like you would in the theater. From a creaking door to a faraway shout, experience every detail the way the filmmakers intended in a clear, balanced sound field, thanks to JBL's own advanced sound enhancement technology.

Just bring one—or both, for stereo sound—of the detachable wireless speakers with you and you'll hear the same great movie-quality audio your family and guests are enjoying in the other room.
- 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.
- Easy sound calibration: Every room is different. Your soundbar discovers how sound reflects off your walls and furniture. So it'll deliver the best 3D surround effects, tuned specifically for your space and with any TV.

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!

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!

A worthy upgrade.
Just picked this up on sale to replace my Bar1000mk1. I have a huge living room with high ceilings and wasn't getting the Atmos effects I expected. While the Bar1300mk2 was noticeably louder, the Atmos was still underwhelming. That is until I found a tip on Reddit.....don't calibrate!! I reset to factory settings and put it in manual movie mode and WHOA this baby came to life. All of a sudden the rears were so involved in the room that I would get startled from various affects coming from them. Made all the difference in the world. Calibration is probably fine for smaller rooms or low ceilings but keep this tip in mind if you are less than impressed after calibrating. As for music, this thing has the raw power to blow you away. Detach the rears and create a concert hall. Have only streamed Apple Music so far but it was VERY impressive in a large space. I dont find the bass overwhelming like some reviews. Seems perfectly fine at 4 or even 5. Walls aren't shaking but it isn't missing from the mix either.
