Our take on the JBL Bar 9.1-Channel Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer
The JBL Bar 9.1 is a soundbar system with a wireless subwoofer and two battery-powered surround speakers that detach from the bar and sit behind you. It decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X and uses JBL's MultiBeam processing to spread sound around the room. It suits movie watchers who want real rear channels without running speaker cable. Against rivals, its detachable surrounds are the standout; the bar is long and the surrounds need recharging, so it is less set-and-forget than a wired 5.1 system.

- Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding
- Wireless subwoofer with deep bass
- MultiBeam processing widens the front stage
- Surrounds recharge on the bar
- Surround speakers need recharging, so long sessions can drain them

Questions and answers
- Do the surround speakers need to be plugged in?
- No. They run on built-in batteries and recharge when docked on the bar. You place them behind you while watching.
- Does it support Dolby Atmos?
- Yes. It decodes Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and the detachable surrounds provide height and rear effects.
- Can I use it without the rear speakers?
- Yes. The bar works with the surrounds docked, but you lose the rear channels that make it a 9.1 system.
- How many HDMI inputs does it have?
- It has a single HDMI input plus an HDMI eARC output, along with optical and USB connections.
- Is a separate subwoofer included?
- Yes. A wireless subwoofer is included and pairs to the bar automatically.
- Will it fit under my TV?
- The bar is wide, so check the space between your TV stand legs. The surrounds dock on top of the bar.
