Our take on the JBL BAR-1300X Soundbar and Subwoofer

The JBL Bar 1300X is an 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar system with a wireless subwoofer and two battery-powered surround speakers that detach from the bar and can be placed anywhere in the room. It supports eARC, HDMI pass-through, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and Alexa multiroom, and the JBL One app handles calibration and EQ. It suits people who want a full surround setup without running speaker cable, and it competes with premium bars like the Samsung Q990 and Sonos Arc Ultra bundles on channel count and detachable rears. Reviewers rate its room-filling output and easy setup highly, though some find the bar large and the app and calibration fussier than they would like.

Questions and answers

Do the rear speakers need to be plugged in?
No. They run on built-in batteries and charge when docked on the bar. You can place them on stands or shelves and recharge them periodically.
Does it support DTS:X?
No. It decodes Dolby Atmos and simulates surround for other content, but DTS:X is not supported.
Will it work with my TV?
Yes, if your TV has HDMI eARC or ARC, or an optical output. HDMI pass-through lets you connect a console or streamer through the bar.
Can I add it to a multiroom setup?
Yes. It supports AirPlay 2, Bluetooth and Alexa multiroom, so it can join a compatible whole-home audio system.
How does it compare with the Samsung Q990?
Both are 11.1.4 Atmos systems with wireless subs. The JBL's edge is its detachable, battery-powered rears; the Samsung adds DTS:X and often a more compact bar.
What is in the box?
The soundbar, wireless subwoofer, two detachable surround speakers, remote, HDMI cable and power cords.
