The JBL Bar 1300 is an 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos and DTS:X soundbar system with a 12-inch wireless subwoofer and two detachable, battery-powered rear speakers. Its party trick is those rears: they clip onto the bar for charging and pop off for true surround placement or standalone Bluetooth playback. With 15 drivers in the bar, four of them up-firing, plus two up-firing drivers in each rear, it delivers genuine height effects without ceiling speakers. It suits movie lovers who want big, room-filling Atmos without a receiver and speaker wires, though it is a large, heavy system and the rears need recharging.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 across 71 ratings, owners largely praise the room-filling Atmos effect and the flexibility of the detachable rears. Complaints center on the size of the subwoofer and the need to keep the rear speakers charged.
For a true home theater experience, add the JBL Bar 1300 1170W 11.1.4-Channel Dolby Atmos Soundbar System. Sound effects are made to come at you from every direction with Multibeam, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X surround sound support. The experience is delivered by the Bar 1300's 650W of power from 15 drivers, 4 of which are up-firing for height effects. The detachable rears each provide 5 drivers, with 2 up-firing for additional height effects. This is all brought together by the 12-inch 300W wireless subwoofer, adding booming bass to action-packed scenes. The rear speakers detach from the main soundbar and are battery operated, offering flexible placement and doubling as dedicated Bluetooth speakers for use around the house.
