Our take on the JBL Bar 1300X Soundbar

The JBL Bar 1300X is an 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with a 12-inch wireless subwoofer and two battery-powered surround speakers that detach from the bar and can be used anywhere in the room. It is one of the few soundbars that gives you true rear channels without running speaker wire, and it supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Chromecast, AirPlay and Alexa or Google Assistant. Reviewers rate its room-filling, bass-heavy output highly for movies and games, while some find the subwoofer too strong for music and the bar itself large. It suits people who want a full surround setup without an AV receiver, and it competes with premium bars like the Samsung Q990 and Sonos Arc Ultra on features rather than subtlety.
