Our take on the JBL Bar 1300 11.1.4 Channel Dolby Atmos Soundbar System

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.
