Customer Ratings & Reviews

This soundbar is AMAZING! The bass is absolutely phenomenal. The detachable, wireless rear speakers make it so easy to put anywhere you want them. You just recharge them after a days and they are good to go again. Setup was a breeze. Black Friday sale made this purchase possible, and I still can’t believe how good it sounds!

Very good overall. Love the detachable speakers, they create a great surround sound experience especially in a smaller room. The bass is exceptional and really impressive!

This sound bar blows other ones away we love it the bass is awesome and shakes the house when it kicks in. I would recommend this unit even with the higher cost you will see were the extra cost is worth it if you love the big sounds. The detachable rear speakers are very cool, no wires just put on little brackets on the wall and you have surround sound it is very easy.

This speaker delivers rich, clear sound with deep bass and crisp highs, making music and movies immersive. Its sleek, portable design fits any space, while strong battery life ensures hours of playback. Easy Bluetooth connectivity and solid build quality make it a reliable, stylish choice for both home and outdoor use.

I have had a wired, 7.1 A/V set-up for a long time. My 4 back surrounds were connected via wireless transmitter/receiver because my living room is not setup to run wires to the back. They still required speaker wires and 2 outlets for the receivers, so 10 wires for the back. We bought a new living room furniture setup that did not allow for all of those wires to be hidden. I had to come up with a different option because I was not about to run wires through the ceiling and get into all that. After a lot of research, I decided on the Bar 1300X. "downgrading" isn't exactly the word I would use going from wired to a soundbar. It was more of a lateral move. The sound is fantastic with the detachable speakers connected the the soundbar. It is even more amazing when they are used as surround speakers. The calibration was easy, and you could recalibrate quickly if you want to change positions (say to make them farther apart when you have more people over). The sub is massive. Great sound. Deep bass. Not kidding, you could use it as am end table. I do. Obviously, a major draw was the wireless surrounds. People complain about having to connect/reconnect them due to battery lasting roughly 10 hours. Personally, I like the magnetic satisfaction I get from connecting them. Rarely, and I mean rarely, do I watch TV for 10 hours straight where I would worry about running dry. The wall mount is a tiny footprint, but they can also be set on tables or whatever around you. I found that they sound great whether behind you or to the side of you. They do have the ability to be plugged in via USB-C, but then they aren't really truly wireless. The Bluetooth of the sub is a great feature as you can place it anywhere! No latency that I have noticed. Both are heavy. The bar about 15lbs, the sub about 20lbs. The bar is just as wide as my mantle, which is where I placed it. It looks like a mantle on top of a mantle. Kinda funny. It is a very aesthetically pleasing unit. Strong build. If you are apprehensive about replacing a wired A/V system, I was too. The simplicity and the overall look that my living room now has was well worth the change. Sound wise, awesome. Maybe it is because my Sony STR-1040N was about 5 years old. And because of the wireless transmitters/receivers, occasionally I had some POP come out of the back speakers, which would scare the bejesus out of me. I bought it for $1699, then a week later it was reduced to $1399 and Best Buy honored the difference and refunded me $300. At the time of this writing (Aug 31), I see it is back up to $1699. Maybe wait and see if it drops again, but I was totally OK paying the $1699. I felt it was worth it and had/have absolutely NO buyer's remorse. I hope this helps. I tried to stay away from technicals to make it easier for the regular person interested in audio without all of the jargon. Good Luck!

Good sound bar when you actually figure out how to set it up correctly. It took me a couple days. First, my eARC port would not show up on my Samsung television that also had an eARC port. I troubleshooted the problem for about 5 days. I was going to return the whole system back to the store because I was going to keep something that cost upwards of $1800.00 dollars that did not work properly. I decided to go another room within the residence to try out the sound bar because I thought it had a faulty port. It work immediately on my other Samsung in the study as soon as I plugged it in. I then thought that it had to be the television's eARC port that was faulty. I didn't want the hassle of having to take an 85in television back to the store without damaging it somehow. I found out that I could connect it via bluetooth. I did that for a few days, however the sound bar would not turn on when I turn on the television. I had to turn the sound bar on separately with the remote. So, I gave it one last shot, or the system and television would be returned back to the store. I'm no sure what I did, but the eARC popped up on my television (somehow) and it was connect automatically. Now I enjoy that Dolby Atmos sound and it is amazing. I even disconnect the surround sound speakers and watched a movie. Absolutely amazing. Hey, it even turns on and off with my cable box remote control now. Recommend

This surround sound system absolutely changed our movie/video game nights. We’ve got it setup in our basement and it can get loud enough that I can still hear it if I step outside of the house. Bass is plentiful and so many options available to change the sound output. The quick detach speakers have a very strong magnet that holds them to the bar, so get ready to have to put some umph into pulling them out.

Great sound no background noise unless needed. Hold the charge for hours. Very easy to use.

Sound is amazing and set up was incredibly easy. The detachable speakers are a great option. Love the JBL one app for updates

Bought this when it was on sale as I wanted to upgrade from my Samsung bar that I had for quite a few years. Every thing about this system is top tier, the sound quality, the app, and I most like the removable speakers for night listening. I highly recommend using the hdmi cable and connecting to eARC so you don’t need to use a second remote.

Have this in my living room! amazing sound, battery life on the rear speakers last about 4-5 days with us watching tv about 2-3 hourss a day. Definitely worth it. Sound is amazing and its clear.

Beat soundbar ive ever purheses great base and great sound. Works great with my projector

Get the 1300X! Don't cheat yourself by getting a lesser soundbar or even a lower grade. finance it and enjoy. The magic begins once you connect it to WiFi and update the firmware. The sound is just so detailed and crisp. The detachable speakers create a wonderful surround element, and they remain charged (wirelessly) for hours of use. The subwoofer is ridiculous. If you live in a condo, you will definitely need to keep the bass turned down, or your neighbors will be at your door for sure. The only thing Iit lacks are more robust sound effects options.

This is a top quality and sounding system for medium size rooms. The detachable speakers are on point and how the calibration tool works makes setup easy and exact.

The sound bar is phenomenal- the audio quality is excellent, and we love the battery-powered surround speakers (my wife especially, as she was not a fan of permanent surround speakers with power cords in multiple spots). I do wish there was a bit more in regards to audio settings, but but it's built as more a set-it-and-forget-it system, so I guess what comes with it makes sense.

The best surround sound bar there is out there till date Samsung 11ch bar is way better in crisp and sound “voice” but JBL has the best bass 10/10 way better than Samsung, recommended for bass lovers

I got this for my husband for Christmas. He hooked it that day and has enjoyed it ever since. This system has an amazing sound and the base rocks the house! I love the fact that it is truly wireless. I would recommend this item.

When first connected, wasn’t sure about quality of sound. Read directions and worked with phone app to customize MY sound. Still have previous name brand , moved up stairs(now bla in comparison).Great sound separation and bass. Awesome system; “crank it ip”!

THOUGH IT IS LITTLE PRICEY BUT IT'S WELL WORTH IT. SOUND EXCELLENT. I USED TO HAVE BOSE HOME THEATRE 7.1 BUT THIS ONE IS BETTER THAN BOSE IN MY OPNION. VERY CLEAR SOUND. LOVE THE ABILITY TO MOVE WIRELESS SATELITE SPEAKERS.

One of the best sounding soundbars I've heard. Very loud and clear with plenty of bass. Fill the open space very nicely. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for.
