The JBL BAR 1300X is an 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos and DTS:X soundbar system with a 12-inch wireless subwoofer and two rear speakers that detach from the bar. The detachable rears are battery powered and can be used as standalone Bluetooth speakers, so you are not locked into a permanent surround layout. It suits people who want a full home theater without running speaker cable across the room. Against rivals like the Samsung Q990 and Sonos Arc setups, it stands out for the detachable rears and the large sub, while reviewers say the app and calibration take some patience.

Owners praise the room-filling Atmos effect and the punchy subwoofer, and many like being able to move the rear speakers around. Common complaints center on the app, calibration and rear battery life.
The JBL BAR 1300X is an 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar system with a wireless subwoofer and detachable surround speakers. It supports Multibeam, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound. The system has 1170W of total power. The soundbar delivers 650W from 15 drivers, 4 of which are up-firing for height effects.
The two rear speakers detach from the soundbar and run on batteries, so they can be placed behind the listening position without a permanent spot. Each has 5 drivers, 2 of them up-firing. When detached, they work as Bluetooth speakers, and a pair gives stereo sound. A full charge provides up to 10 hours of playtime. The 12" 300W wireless subwoofer adds bass.
The system connects over dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB-A to play streaming services, podcasts, internet radio and MP3 files. It supports AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music and Chromecast built-in. PureVoice technology enhances dialogue clarity. Built-in sound calibration adjusts the output to the room. The JBL One app handles setup, EQ and settings, and software updates arrive automatically over Wi-Fi. With compatible smart speakers, Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri can play music by voice.
