- Do the detachable speakers need to be charged?
- Yes. The two surround speakers run on built-in batteries and recharge when docked on the bar. Runtime is limited, so long movie marathons may need a recharge.
- Does it support Dolby Atmos?
- Yes. It decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X, and uses MultiBeam processing to widen the front stage. Height effects are simulated rather than fired from up-firing drivers.
- Can I use it without the rear speakers?
- Yes. The bar and subwoofer work on their own, and the detachable speakers can stay docked or be carried to another room as standalone speakers.
- How does it compare with the JBL Bar 1000?
- The Bar 1000 adds up-firing drivers and more channels for a fuller Atmos effect. The 700MK2 keeps the detachable surrounds and large sub but simulates height, so it costs less and is simpler to place.
- What is in the box?
- The soundbar, two detachable wireless surround speakers, a wireless 10-inch subwoofer, a remote, batteries, an HDMI cable and power cords.
- Does it have HDMI passthrough for a console?
- It has an HDMI eARC port for the TV and a limited number of inputs. It lacks HDMI 2.1 features like 4K/120Hz passthrough, so plug consoles directly into the TV.
