JBL - JBL Bar 1300

If you could afford an extra 300€, I would recommend JBL 1300. I got mine from Amazon during the Black Friday sale for 900€ and have had no problems so far. It’s early days, I have only had it for few weeks and I am loving it madly! Love the detachable rear speakers and the JBL one app. It’s easy to use and it works well with the sound bar!!!

I grabbed the JBL BAR 1300 but I'm in Australia and it's really between that and the Samsung. Sony far too expensive here. Love the concept of JBL'S fully wireless rears and how versatile they are as standalone speakers, too. Also, I demoed both in store and to my ears the JBL's bass was significantly superior to Samsung. I'm over 40 and one thing people forget is you stop hearing most of the fidelity at higher frequencies as you age. Any additional clarity in the Samsung was lost on me - it just sounded like a less bass-y version of the JBL with rears that need their own power source. That being said, both are amazing if it's your first foray into surround sound. Enjoy!

Hey bro. Don’t listen to him. He just another delulu hater. Sonos absolutely will not crash and jbl 1300 center are fine.

I'm currently digging the JBL 1300

I have a not expensive JBL Bar 300 and love it. However you should avoid their bar 1300 which jas an issue with the center voice.

I have the jbl 1300, why is it last?

That’s cause u don’t have rear speakers. 1000 and 1300 side speakers come off… urs don’t have those right? I have the 1000 and when I unplug the side speakers and place behind me it’s a very nice atmos coverage. I’m in an apartment.

I have the Jbl bar 1000. 1300 is same price as Q990D and it’s better in my opinion. Edit: unless the tv is Samsung. If the tv is Samsung, then I would go for the Samsung q990D. Because with the Q-symphony added it becomes a lot better.

This is a great soundbar. I had moved from old big bulky sound equipment while I could still sell it. I'm very impressed by their BAR 1300X. Was considering a Sonos Arc, but the price for their sub if you wanted one is stupid expensive. Maybe that one for another room someday, who knows.

I was surprised to see the Sennheiser Ambeo Plus and JBL Bar 1300X so low in the list. I've used both and love them.
