Our take on the JBL Bar 2.0 All-in-One Compact, Powered Sound Bar with Bluetooth

The JBL Bar 2.0 All-in-One is a compact two-channel sound bar with two racetrack drivers, 40 watts per channel and a rear port for bass. It connects to a TV over a single HDMI ARC or optical cable and streams music over Bluetooth, with Dolby Digital decoding, JBL Surround Sound and a Smart Mode that boosts effects by default. It suits small rooms and buyers who want clearer dialogue than TV speakers without a subwoofer or rear speakers. Against subwoofer bundles and multi-speaker bars it gives up deep bass and true surround, but it is simpler to set up and takes little space.

Questions and answers

Does it need a subwoofer?
No. It is a two-channel bar with a rear port for bass, so it works on its own, but it will not deliver the deep low end of a bar with a subwoofer.
How does it connect to a TV?
Over a single HDMI ARC or optical cable. There are no extra HDMI inputs, so other devices connect to the TV.
Can I stream music to it?
Yes. Built-in Bluetooth lets you play from a compatible phone or tablet.
What is Smart Mode?
It is an EQ and processing preset that is on by default and boosts sound effects. Standard Mode gives a flatter sound.
Can it be wall-mounted?
Yes. It is compact enough to sit on a TV stand or mount on a wall.
Is it good for a large room?
It suits small to medium rooms best. A larger room or one that wants deep bass is better served by a bar with a subwoofer.
