Features

  • True Dolby Atmos and DTS:X

    Plunge into theater-quality 3D spatial sound with true Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Shiver as spaceships fill the sky overhead. Feel explosions that rumble through your body. Experience music like you’re right there in the recording studio.

  • 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.

  • PureVoice 2.0

    Never miss a softly spoken line or a whispered plot twist. JBL's own PureVoice 2.0 automatically raises or optimizes the dialogue, based on both ambient sound in the scene and your soundbar's volume. 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.

  • Broadcasting

    You don't want to miss any of the big game, even when you're in the kitchen making another batch of hot wings. 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.

  • Portable Bluetooth speakers

    Take theater-quality sound along with you, around the house or into the back yard. Pair one of the detachable wireless speakers to your Bluetooth device and it becomes a powerful portable. Or enjoy true stereo sound by pairing both speakers. And you can always add even more compatible JBL or Harman Kardon speakers using Auracast.

  • Works with all ecosystems and music streaming services

    Enjoy all your favorite music and podcasts in stunning high-definition sound. Choose from hundreds of online music streaming services through AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Roon Ready.

  • JBL ONE App

    Set up the soundbar using the JBL ONE app, then make it yours. Customize the sound your way with a precise equalizer, browse your favorite music apps, and get software upgrades for all the latest features, right from your couch.

  • HDMI eARC with 4K Dolby Vision passthrough

    No matter what brand your TV is, enjoy uncompressed Dolby Atmos surround sound through a single HDMI cable thanks to the HDMI eARC connection. The HDMI input connection also offers 4K video quality from a compatible video player or gaming console.

  • Works with voice assistant-enabled speakers

    Play that song you're craving, even when you've got your hands full. Just link the soundbar to your device with built-in voice capabilities and control your music hands-free using Google Assistant or Siri.

  • Deep sleep

    When you're asleep, so is your soundbar. It uses less than 1 watt of power while in standby mode. That's about the same as your TV's remote control.

    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!

    IMAX Sound @ Home

    I am absolutely loving the JBL 1300mk2. The sound quality is incredible, with amazing bass that really fills the room. What impresses me the most is how clear the voices remain, even when listening at a low volume. Highly recommend it!

    Best Bar Yet!

    The best surround system I've heard so far. I have a large room & this fits the bill perfectly. I love that the surround speakers detach from the main unit & are truly wireless. All you need is any usb-c cable for charging or attach them back to the main unit overnight. It also tells you what format youre listening to, whether it be surround or atmos, not just a color change on the unit. The surround speakers can also be used as Bluetooth speakers anywhere you want to listen to music. Too many pros & no cons so far.

    Great Soundbar!

    Better than I expected! The Atmos effects make the sound feel it is above and all around you. I tried several different bars before this one and this has better drivers that fire in all directions to create a whole room soundscape.

  • What volume is everyone feeling the subwoofer start working? I feel like I have to put the volume at 20+ before I start feeling the bass everyone is talking about. Is my unit defective?

    You should start feeling our JBL Bar 1300MK2 subwoofer's bass around volume level 8 to 10, so needing to turn it up past 20 to feel the low end is uncommon. To fix it, try boosting the bass level using your remote, make sure the subwoofer is placed near a wall or corner to help sound travel, and re-run the audio calibration in the JBL One app with the room completely silent. If you've tried these adjustments and the bass still feels weak at lower volumes, please contact our customer support for further assistance. https://support.jbl.com/
