Movie theater quality sound in a bar
JBL does it again. I recently purchased (2) flip 6 portable speakers and I was so impressed with the sound they projected that I knew I had to buy a JBL sound bar for my living room TV as well.
I originally went to Best Buy to hear the 1300X sound bar in person and I was fair from impressed with the display soundbar in the store. It was so bad I almost bought another brand.
But again I went back to my original thought how could they make a portable speaker sound so well and not make a sound bar to the same quality.
I pulled the pull and purchased the 1300X and all I can say is wow. This is absolutely the best sound. I could’ve ever imagined from a sound bar surround system that includes hard pounding 12 inch down fire sub.
I doubt you’ll find a better sound bar any where on the market. It’s better than going to the theater. The magnetic side speakers that disconnect from the main sound bar create the ultimate experience when viewing movies that bring action from the rear.
The best part of this purchase was buying it during Black Friday for $700 off regular price.
The only people that hate this sound bar are the cops, due to all the neighbors calling to report a shooting in my neighborhood from my action movies. Some of them take their break at that time just to enjoy the theater experience of the JBL 1300X 👍🏻🇺🇸❤️

Easy setup and great sound
The setup was amazingly easy compared to my 20 year old Bose system. Just two power cords and one HDMI cable. That’s it. Software update and setup was quick and painless. One button calibration. And really good sound. The magnetic system to charge the speakers is very cunning so the back speakers are truly wireless.

An Amazing and Truly Enjoyable Audio Experience
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My family’s recently finished basement was already becoming the preferred location of our entertainment. It’s a large open floorplan and, of course, I sprang for a large TV as the center of focus. One shortcoming that I quickly noticed was that the native TV speakers weren’t powerful enough in the larger room. I subsequently relocated an older soundbar to this new TV. Because the surround sound speakers that accompany this older soundbar are wired, I chose not to include these speakers so as not to destroy the aesthetics of the room. Thus, the old soundbar helped only modestly with my audio problem. For this reason alone, I gladly welcomed the arrival of my new JBL BAR 1300X soundbar system. My simple expectations and hopes were to experience an upgrade in the audio quality and to have a true surround sound experience (without wires). To say that I have been blown away by the quality of this product is an understatement.
The first movie we watched as a family was truly amazing. The sound quality was flawless. But it was the feel that distinguishes this product. What do I mean by “feel”? It felt exactly the same as when you’re sitting in a good theatre and you can literally feel the action hitting you as it occurs. This is what JBL means in its description when referencing the “theatre-quality 3D sound”. Taking the volume down a notch, my husband just finished watching several of the college basketball tournament games. He commented that he felt like he was at the game live and sitting in the stands. And, finally, taking the volume up several notches, my college-aged daughter stopped in with friends on her way home from spring break. For that night, the sound coming out of our basement rivaled any nightclub you will ever enter.
This soundbar system is a breeze to install and use. The only physical connection is an included HDMI cable between your TV and the soundbar. The subwoofer and surround sound speakers are wireless. The surround sound speakers charge conveniently on the soundbar and can then be moved behind you at time of use. There is a quick calibration process that allows for perfect acoustics in the room that will be used. Each of the 3 speakers (soundbar and 2 surround sound speakers) can serve as a standalone Bluetooth speaker. This allows the 2 smaller speakers to be taken elsewhere for use. There is a small remote that is included with the system. However, the JBL One App provides the same functionality, and both are easy to use.
The new JBL BAR 1300X soundbar speaker system has further turned our basement into an all around entertainment center. It provides exceptional audio quality in all settings. Whether it’s a sporting event, an action-packed movie, or your favorite music, this soundbar transforms what most would consider as “just sound” into “a truly enjoyable audio experience”. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to upgrade any facet of their audio and/or TV-viewing experience. You will not be disappointed.

Perfect for game day or movie night.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] JBL 1300X is just perfect. It comes with a subwoofer and 2 detachable speakers which are just perfect if you wanna create that immersive sound experience on a movie night or if you are watching a live sport. I was really impressed with sound clarity and how much difference it makes. The price is little steep but definitely worth it for the experience.The overall setup was pretty easy too and so far I have been loving it.

Great sounding soundbar system for movies & gaming
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL 1300X has a clever design, is easy to setup, and sounds fantastic.
The removable rear speakers are the first notable feature. They are fully wireless, drawing from charged battery power for a run time of about 10-12 hours. They "plug in"(magnetically) to the ends of the sound bar to charge. So the key here is to be sure you can place the bar where you can attach and re-attach the speakers. This requires a "sweeping" action from front to back, you can't lift them upwards to remove them. The total length is 54.2" and you need several inches of clearance on both sides to remove them. So that could be a limiting factor for some folks. (As both rear speakers also sport a USB-C port, you could choose to plug them each into their own USB-C power adapter for a more permanent setup. However, these adapters are not included.) While I haven't tested the feature, they apparently can also operate as stand-alone bluetooth speakers. Considering they are 110W, that's a pretty decent speaker to take into another room if desired. I didn't observe any audio latency with the wireless system which is critical. (Bluetooth audio transfer technology has certainly come a long way in the past few years.) You can also choose to use the included wall mounts to hang the rear speakers. Doing so does not prevent you from charging them from the sound bar, with a simple lifting motion they hook/unhook from the mounts. A nice design and touch included in the package.
Surround setup/calibration is easy, being a simple two step process. Place the rear speakers in their intended position facing forward, hit calibrate (also found on the remote), wait for the short audio test to complete. Adjust them to the listening position shown in the guide (essentially rotated about 45 degrees), and wait for second short audio test. That's it. Obviously not the more advanced tuning process of full AV surround systems but sound bars in general are not really an audiophile oriented solution.
The subwoofer on this top of the line 1300X model is 12" and 300W, more than enough to shake your couch. It is also wireless (audio) but obviously needs to be plugged into an outlet which is expected/standard. Being wireless itself still allows for flexibility in placement and being that subwoofers are inherently omni-directional, you can literally place it anywhere in the room where you have an outlet. It does not need to be directly next to your sound bar/TV.
The system provides an 11.1.4 channel setup with Dolby Atmos support (from supported sources), provided via an array of drivers (the individual "speakers" inside), including upward firing drivers to acheive the Atmos effect. (Atmos "height" speakers are typically hung from the ceiling. Upward firing or "directed" drivers are a much simpler way to achieve a similar effect.) Between the bar, rear speakers, and 12" subwoofer, this system can pack a decent punch. However, I think what is actually more telling is how good it sounds at lower volume levels. My 18 year old gets tired of wearing headphones while gaming but always swore they were necessary so he could hear the the directional sound employed by many gaming platforms. I put him in front of the 1300X and he was completely sold. He prefers not to have the sound really loud and still noticed the quality and separation of the surround sound while playing games. (We connected the gaming system via direct HDMI connection to the sound bar and from sound bar to TV (for video pass through) with the gaming system set to DTS 7.1 output, which the sound bar effectively converts to 11.1.4 through DTS Neural:X surround processing.)
The JBL "One" app (they have several) for iPhone/Android is a nice touch and helpful for doing things like firmware updates. However, the included remote is really all we use every day. There is some quirkiness on startup, the sound bar will detect an input signal and turn on automatically. However, sometimes it starts up on the "TV" source when the gaming system is on "HDMI1".
My one complaint, as with most JBL products these days, is the lack of a decent user guide. The JBL standard "Quick Start" pictorial guide is ok but I really wish they would create more thorough user guides instead of having to discover features through product descriptions, spec sheets, and stick figure style diagrams.
Overall this appears to be a very good sound bar system. I haven't done my own deep dive in this product space to assess how it falls price-wise vs. the competition. But from a design, usability, and sound quality perspective, I would recommend it.

Great soundbar- fantastic atmos/dtsx
The subwoofer is definitely a step-up and dare i say almost to home theater level (comparing my pc2000 svs). The 12inch definitely moves more air than the 10inch. It’s a really good subwoofer.
movies below that I tested:
Live die repeat: edge of tomorrow - phenomenal, bass as well.
Incredibles 2 - sounds like a baby is literally floating in my room in one scene. Rest of the movie is great.
Annabelle: creation - best horror atmos i’ve ever heard on a soundbar.
Saving private ryan - the intro is a complete warzone on this system.
Jurassic park - trex footsteps, breathing, and roar sound fantastic. the trex scene is a great subwoofer test, and if you have the DTSX 4k disc it has some height in there as well. another scene is when the car is in the tree, and sam neil and the boy are climbing down - the height effects are very pronounced.
Blair witch (2016) - incredible atmos.
Pacific Rim: the first fight scene in the beginning is mind blowing on this system. The bass and atmos is something else.
The equalizer is good just not very granular. super basic.
App control is decent. Gives you a virtual remote, has an equalizer, tells you what audio is playing but i can only see atmos and nothing else like DD+ etc. surround volume control is nice, and other miscellaneous things.
Purevoice on vs off didn’t do much for me but i notice a slight bump in voice volume with it on, but not to the extent you would think it would be. Either way it doesn’t take away anything with having it on.
Things I would like to see in future updates:
1. greater control of equalizer
2. being able to adjust the volume on the side speakers and tweeters on the main soundbar. this would greatly enhance the soundstage even more.
3. somehow make this go louder than 32 being the max volume. this unit is loud 100% however with the 650w amplifier in the main bar and the increased wattage in general on this system compared to the 9.1, I really do feel this unit can go louder.

Awesome Sound- A Keeper...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound is amazingly rich. The tone is deep and clear. Reminds me of a classical theater environment. The sound does not distort raising the volume. In a word "amazing". The wireless detachable speakers are one of the best features.

Amazing sound!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound quality from this is amazing! I am not an audiophile by any means, but I can definitely tell the difference in the depth and quality of sound tang emanates from this soundbar. The detachable surround sound speakers are a nice touch - sometimes when you are just watching regular tv, you don’t always “need” to have surround sound. But when you do— oh boy! It allows you to calibrate the speakers to where you place them and sets the ideal sound quality depending. I have a large, 3 story living room where we use this soundbar and it fills the room with high quality sound. Looking for a new soundbar? This one is for you!

By far the best surround sound system in my home!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't had a surround system in my home before. I've always experienced a surround sound system in my friends home, so this is my first. Ease of access and quality sound is what I truly value, and this system goes BEYOND. The subwoofer is incredible... hands down. The bar with detachable left and right speakers to place near your viewing seats is a huge plus. It's easy to set up, and enhances the tv experience, and therefore I highly recommend!

Just WOW
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not sure where to begin, here goes. The sound is AMAZING. The PureVoice Dialogue Enhancement is as advertised. Voice clarity is hands down better than other sound bars. The two ends detach and allow for Dolby Atmos surround sound and are wireless with built in batteries with enough power to watch all day. I don’t leverage Alexa or Chromecast, but the AirPlay functionality is a great addition.

This speaker is AMAZING!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This speaker works like a charm! The sound quality is outstanding. The viewing experience is like a movie theater. I could not recommend this product enough!
Upon receiving this product, the first thing I noticed was the size of the shipping box. That is because to have a great sound bar with surround sound capabilities and a large woofer, you need a large box. After unboxing the product, I was instantly impressed with the pleasant design of all 4 speakers. The set up looks great and makes your TV setup look a lot nicer. This sound bar and speakers were relatively easy to set up as it did not take long at all. I am not a super tech savvy person and had no trouble connecting the speaker to my phone for music and TV. Once it was all set up, the most important part was testing the sound quality, and it did NOT disappoint. After going from the not so great TV speakers to the 1300X, I could not help but instantly notice a dramatic improvement in the quality of sound. The surround sound adds a great element and is very similar to the surround sound you get at a movie theater. On top of that, the sound quality itself is great. I tested it out with an episode of a nature show and it felt like I was right there in the Serengeti! On top of being great for TV sound quality, the most underrated part of this sound bar set up is for listening to music. It is easy to connect your phone and listen away. The sound quality is still amazing and if you’re like me and enjoy loud music, the sound quality stays consistent as the volume goes up. The woofer adds quite the element as well to complete the full set up. The remote works great but it is also convenient to use your phone as a remote. The side speakers charge right on the sound bar which is quite nice. On top of that, they can be used as individual speakers so if you’re moving around, you can easily connect to one of them and move it around the house.
After viewing many movies, TV shows, and listening to a lot of music on this sound bar, I can confidently say this is the best sound bar setup I have heard. I cannot recommend this product enough. From the easy set up, great sound quality, and amazing surround sound similar to a movie, I only have great things to say about this product!

The best dialogue I have heard with a soundbar.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the JBL 9.1 for about 3 years now and was super excited to check out the new soundbars. It only took watching one movie for me to hear and feel the difference. While yes, the 1300x has a larger subwoofer at 12" than the 10" 9.1 and 1170w of total output vs 820w of total ouput. It was actually the dialogue that made the biggest difference. The 1300x with it's "PureVoice Dialogue Enhancement Tecnology" actually made a massive difference. I watched the same movie using both soundbars and the 1300x had much cleaner dialogue. I always thought my 9.1 had good dialogue but this thing blew it away.
The Soundbar setup was extremely easy too, I used the JBL One app and it immediately found the soundbar. After a couple of clicks and the sound calibration, it was added to my home network and added to my Google Home. From there I added it to my speaker groups and had music streaming perfectly through my music service. Using the chromecast and bluetooth both worked great and I had no issues at all. I also used the rear speakers as portable stereo speakers, which is a pretty cool addition plus they sounded very good. Having three HDMI ports on the bar is also another great addition, especially since my older tv only has ARC and not EARC, so only the devices I plug directly into the bar can use Dolby Atmos. The JBL One App is a nice addition to this soundbar. Within the app you can run the calibration again if you need to. You can also setup an EQ for the bar or turn it off and change the rear speaker volume level to Low, Medium, or High. There is also an Audio Sync slider to add a delay from 0-250ms in case you need it. The app even has a remote that can do everything the physical remote can do. Like other bars, the reat speakers connect to the main sound bar to charge and have about 12 hours of battery life. My wife and I were able to watch multiple hours over the last two weeks before we had to recharge them. It was also nice that the rear speaker wall mounts were the same as the 9.1 so I was able to easily mount them in the same spot. The rear speakers also have USB-C charge ports if you don't want to ever charge them. I would recommend a 90 degree USB-C adapter if you plan on mounting them to the wall as most of the cables won't fit between the speaker and the wall. After two weeks of using this every day I can honestly say I am extremely happy with this and I have already recommended it to friends.

Awesome sound bar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hooked this bar 1300x on y living room tv. OMG what a sound and experience, if you are planning on getting a sound bar this one is awesome. The sound quality is unremarkable. When you play music through this it’s like you are sitting front stage at a concert. I love the fact you can Bluetooth phone google or alexia through this bar. Set up is fairly easy. The sub is awesome it rattles the floor. The app is easy to use and makes it sound great. The detachable wireless speakers are another awesome feature and can be placed anywhere and the battery life last me about 3 days (not continuous use). This is a GREAT product that I would highly recommend. It like being at the movies. You can feel every experience along with the sound. The voice in movies is easy to bring out, this is an unreal product!

Blown Away
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After receiving the JBL 1300x, it was time to set it up. I was very excited as I have heard many other systems and I was hoping to hear the best. Too keep it short, JBL did not disappoint.
The set up was a breeze. Once you lay out all of the hardware and connect (for me HDMI ARC connection [included in box]), it quickly connected to my television. The remote allows you to adjust the mids, treble and bass. After that, you can set aside the remote and use your normal television remote to adjust the volume. The JBL One App is also compatible with these speakers which was an added bonus.
The sub woofer is out of this world. It is loud, it is big (12" compared to most are 10") and packs a punch. Along with the sound bar, there is nothing that compares. If I turned it up loud enough, I am pretty sure my neighbors would complain. This is a game changer.
Speaking of game changer, along with the sound bar, you get 2 speakers that disconnect and use for surround sound. Also, they can act as standalone Bluetooth speaker. That is 2 BT speakers that you can use all over your house!! I am literally considering getting rid of all of my other speakers because of this. It has 10 hours of play time....Amazing. In order to charge it, just reconnect it to the sound bar. If you want, you can keep them on your wall and charge via usb-c.
The sound bar, by itself is great....add 2 speakers and a 12" sub, unbelievable. This was the easiest set up and sound you could ask for. The JBL One App can help you adjust or calibrate your speakers to satisfy your needs. To me, it was good out of the box, but I've only owned it for a few weeks.
Watching any television now is a lot more enjoyable. The first movie I watched was Top Gun Maverick. It told me that I made the right choice. If you want the best, you must look at the JBL 1300x. Nothing compares. It is advanced and has all the bells and whistles you are looking for. Do not hesitate, just buy it.

A concert in your living room!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off wow this thing packs a punch! A gorgeous design that allows you to skip the wiring through the attic all the way back to the receiver, and making holes in the walls of your home. The set up is super easy and the app (JBL One) works great to update your equipment. Comparing the sound to other top competitors; the JBL Sound Bar 1300X holds its own! I haven't seen another sound bar that has detachable surround sound speakers for this price! Calibrating your speakers to your personal space in your home is super easy and gives you the best listening experience possible. Everything with the exception of an optical cord is included, even mounting gear for the wall! After further testing the only thing I've noticed is the bass is really good at high volumes. At normal volumes, you need to turn up the sub. Not a big deal but just something to note. Overall I am super happy with this product and would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants an easy set up with professional like sound without the hassle of wires!

Butter your Popcorn and Enjoy the Show
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really interesting system with two satellites that can either complete your surround sound or add extra oomf to your center console. Was worried that the subwoofer would be way too intense for city living, but was impressed with how subdued it was. In fact it never felt overpowering, even at its highest level. I would have liked it if there was a way to adjust mid and treble frequencies, but I’m a picky audiophile and most people would find the bar more than satisfying. While personally would have liked more mid range warmth, I feel like the sound It delivers is balanced enough for what it is. Great for listening to music or watching TV. I loved making coffee this morning while using this JBL. Switches between TV and Bluetooth seamlessly. Sounds great and worth the wait!

Impressive sound system
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When this soundbar arrived, I decided to start by testing it in our living room next to our fully wired theater system to see how it compared, and this soundbar (though it’s really so much more than “just” a soundbar) definitely holds its own and then some. Here are some of the things I liked and wished would have been a little easier:
1) Setup is easy—I was connected to Bluetooth via my phone pretty much instantly and had music playing while I started to read the instructions. It took me a bit to get the subwoofer connected and to get the HDMI cables in the right places, but once that was set, everything was easy. Once the side speakers were charged, I was able to move them into the rear speaker position, hit the calibrate button on the remote a few times, and a couple of minutes later, the calibration was finished.
2) I love that it’s really easy to adjust the speaker settings with the remote. There are 5 levels of bass (1-5 in the videos) and 3 on the equalizer (accentuates low, mid, or high frequencies). Your own tastes will influence which settings are best for you, and the impact of the settings will vary a bit by song.
3) Whether music, action scenes in movies, or everyday media, the quality of sound is fantastic. You usually can’t get this sound quality from a surround sound system unless it’s hard wired, so this would be an obvious, much easier replacement for a theater sound system if we didn’t already have one hard-wired into our house, and if we ever move, this would probably become our primary media sound system.
4) A few unexpected details that I love:
a. The magnets holding the rear speakers to the end of the soundbar are really strong and let the speakers just snap into place.
b. Each of the side speakers can function on its own as a very good portable Bluetooth speaker.
c. The soundbar turns on automatically when any device plugged into it via HDMI is turned on, which make it easier than most systems.
d. You can switch between HDMI inputs and Bluetooth with a press of a button on the remote. If you’re connect to Bluetooth and turn on your HDMI connected device, it will switch to HDMI automatically. The opposite is not true, though, and if you switch to bluetooth, your TV screen is going to go black.
Overall, this is a really fantastic surprise of a system. It’s bigger than I expected it to be, and it’s probably more accurate to call it a full surround sound theater system that happens to be primarily in a soundbar form with the ease of a soundbar and the quality of a much more complex set up. Since we already have a wired system in our living room, I’ll be using this as a significantly upgraded office setup and am looking forward to a great listening experience that will make the hours in front of my computer a lot more enjoyable!

Stunned
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, this might be the highest quality sound I’ve experienced. Having the ability to detach two speakers is perfect for any great movie or party. I was worried that the detachable by speakers would take away from the sound quality, but they sound just as clean. I absolutely can’t wait to show this off.
When connecting to the TV, there is nothing more to be done than plugging it in. The connectivity of the devices is so amazing that the subwoofer only needs power and it does the rest. Also, this subwoofer is absolutely beautiful and I can guarantee that it would sell just as much if it was advertised as a simple side table.
One of the only problems I had was that it is too big for my TV stand. A large stand and a large TV are needed for this massive sound bar to look natural. A 65’ TV looks very good.
I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to take their home sound system to a level they never thought it could go. Honestly though, if your home system isn’t already pretty high, this will look a little absurd.

Amazing immersion with serious punch.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sound bar is one of the most sturdily built devices I have ever used. The entire bar is metal, the satellite speakers are metal and it just screams study and strongly built. Very sleek, and very nice. The subwoofer is huge and extremely powerful. In some ways it might be too powerful if you are not careful but what I like about it is that there is plenty of headroom if you need it. The features just keep rolling with this sound bar. It has bluetooth connectivity with the bar or the satellite. There's connectivity with most of the major services. It has the ability to automatically calibrate, manual eq, remote controlled from the app and so much more. The last feature I want to highlight is that the satellites are attachable/detachable to the sound bar. They have chargeable batteries that will charge from the bar or via USB C. Ok, so on to the performance. This bar sounds amazing. I will note that it is a slight bit warm for my tastes. It could be where it is mounted but the app makes it super easy to eq it the way I like. The sound is really nice and balanced. Not overly crisp but just right. With Dolby Atmos content, this bar really comes alive and it even if you don't have the ability to detach the satellites, it still sounds immersive. Shockingly so. Even with the satellites attached I was hearing sound effects all around and behind me. This is a ten out of ten for me.

Didn't realize what I was missing! Great sound!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't realize how poorly my tv sounded until i hooked up the 1300X. Now I can't watch tv without it. The sound is amazing and don't have to turn the volume up high to get great sound. Using the JBL One app adds more versatility to the soundbar and it is easy to use. The packaging is creative but do realize it weighs over 60 lbs.

Absolutely Mind-Blowing!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ultimate SoundBar in any circumstance.
From crystal clear audio, to a very simple and effective design that fits in any room, there is a spot in anyone’s living space for this soundbar.
Packaging: Strait forward and to the point, the bar is packaged very tightly in a super large box that fits its very big size. Setup was also incredibly simple, basically plug and play with a few extra steps using the JBL ONE APP.
Sound Quality: Close your eyes and play any movie and it really sounds like you are there. This speaker provides some of the best audio experiences out there from booming thunder to extremely realistic and clear voices. There isn’t any media this falls short on. Music is also on a whole new level and sounds very close to how a concert may sound. The external speakers also double as Bluetooth speakers and are all you will need for family get togethers or daily music listening.
Build Quality: very rigid and well put together. Strong magnets keep the external speakers connected without any budge although not too hard to disconnect when needed. The Rubber feet on the bottom of the bat keep it in place without worry.
Overall: Providing easily one of the best audio experiences out there, there isn’t anything bad to say about the JBL 1300x. From outstanding audio quality, with a seamless experience, it’s perfect for any movie and audio lover.

Stellar sound and clarity
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is just an amazing system. We have replaced our 4 12" sub stereo surround with this JBL 1300X surround sound. So much clarity and total sound emersion. We were missing so much from our viewing from moves to workout videos my wife participates in. Might wanna secure you photos on the wall this thing moves some air. Blows our old system out of the water. An absolute must if you love entertainment and the total emmersion into what your viewing. Makes me wanna try every movie we have ever seen, just to discover what we have been missing. Awesome Job JbL this is a Grand Slam. Great clarity at low and max volume. I totally recommend this to people who love all forms of entertainment. More than worth the price tag. No more rewinding videos to catch what was said on Judge Judy or wildlife law shows. Thank You JBL for such and awesome product! Stellar!!!

You will not be disappointed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received the product a few days ago and it is amazing! The sound is incredibly dynamic, can get amazingly loud and so clear, and the look and feel of the products is high end and screams quality. And the satellite speakers and the functionality around them is so awesome. They can even be used as just "normal" Bluetooth speakers and can then be paired in stereo in that usage. So cool. Plus the connection and setup was so simple and it just worked, right out the box. Hooked up power and one cable and worked immediately. Really feels like JBL thought of everything with this product.

Absolutely Superb Rich 3D Atmos Sounds Amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just received my wireless JBL / Hartman 1300X SoundBar and it is nothing like any other previous surround sound I ever owned. It is built solid with detachable speakers that you can place anywhere in the room. It also includes a beautiful solid deep bass subwoofer that is also wireless. The sounds are crystal clear with 3D surround sound which has you looking around the room because it picks up every sound in detail. The sound bar can also be used as a stereo while streaming music from your smartphone or tablet. I am just starting to enjoy the features one by one. There are so many. After opening the box I thought I would be installing this thing all day. I was done in under 10 minutes. Just plug it in to your power source and tv , then it just syncs automatically. That’s it. I swear this sound bar is the bees knees. Love it. I can’t find one thing that I don’t like about it. I made a few short videos and then you can see for yourself how great it is. Love Love my new toy.
