Get ultimate 3D spatial sound in seconds - without the wires
You can get a cinematic sound experience in seconds. One that fills your entire room with true Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X for vivid, immersive 3D spatial audio you can customize to fit any moment. Just pick up the detachable wireless speakers from either end of the JBL BAR 1300MK2 soundbar and put them behind where you're sitting. Far apart for family movie night with the new superhero hit or closer for a cozy romantic playlist—chosen from hundreds of available streaming services. Feel deep, punchy bass from a small but powerful subwoofer and enjoy the widest, most cinematic soundstage with MultiBeam™ 3.0. When you're not watching TV, pair one or both of the detachable speakers to any Bluetooth® device for portable and powerful sound anywhere in your home. And all of this works seamlessly with your TV. Your TV just can't offer the rich, powerful sound you deserve, but, JBL has meant great sound for cinemas, recording studios, and concert halls for nearly a century. Bring our level of craft to your own home.
Experience the pinnacle of 3D surround sound with breathtaking height channels. Six up-firing speakers in the soundbar and the wireless rear speakers deliver true Dolby Atmos® sound. No extra wires. No power connections. Just lift the detachable surround speakers off the soundbar—you can do it with just one hand—and place them behind where you're sitting to create a true surround-sound experience. It's that simple. Whether you're binge-watching your new favorite show or hosting a movie night, the speakers' long-lasting batteries mean you'll enjoy immersive, cinematic surround sound for hours. And when you're done, just place the speakers back on the bar to recharge overnight.
Get ready. With a staggering 2470 total watts of max output power, your movies, music, and games will sound like nothing you've ever heard outside of a top-quality movie theater. Feel a spaceship zoom into hyperdrive, or the roar of a high-speed car chase. The powerful 8" dual-driver subwoofer delivers a remarkable 1200 watts of max output power from a small, elegantly rounded silhouette that blends into your room's decor.
Plunge into theater-quality 3D spatial sound with true Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X. Shiver as spaceships fill the sky overhead. Feel explosions that rumble through your body. Experience music like you're right there in the recording studio.
Wherever you're sitting, you'll be in the middle of the action. Our MultiBeam™ 3.0 delivers a wide, cinema-like soundstage that makes every high-speed chase or epic fight scene come alive. The sound beams perfectly fill your room, delivering truly immersive, lifelike, and realistic sound reproduction.
Never miss a softly spoken line or a whispered plot twist. JBL's own PureVoice 2.0 automatically raises or optimizes the dialogue, based on both ambient sound in the scene and your soundbar's volume. So you'll always hear every word, clearly and consistently, in cinema-quality sound.
Take theater-quality sound along with you, around the house or into the back yard. Pair one of the detachable wireless speakers to your Bluetooth® device and it becomes a powerful portable. Or enjoy true stereo sound by pairing both speakers. And you can always add even more compatible JBL or Harman Kardon speakers using Auracast™.
You don't want to miss any of the big game, even when you're in the kitchen making another batch of hot wings. Just bring one—or both, for stereo sound—of the detachable wireless speakers with you and you'll hear the same great movie-quality audio your family and guests are enjoying in the other room.
Enjoy your favorite shows or movies without disturbing others. Just put the wireless detachable speakers in front of you and use the JBL ONE app to turn on night listening. The soundbar and the subwoofer are automatically muted, while the speakers deliver an intimate high-quality audio experience just for one. Or two.
With AI Sound Boost, enjoy even bigger, cinema-quality sound from our most powerful 8" dual-driver subwoofer. AI Sound Boost helps push both drivers to their maximum capability, so you hear the whole dynamic range with better and more powerful sound from a compact subwoofer.
Hear all the subtleties in a film's sound mix, just like you would in the theater. From a creaking door to a faraway shout, experience every detail the way the filmmakers intended in a clear, balanced sound field, thanks to JBL's own advanced sound enhancement technology.
Enjoy all your favorite music and podcasts in stunning high-definition sound. Choose from hundreds of online music streaming services through AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Roon Ready.
Every room is different. Your soundbar discovers how sound reflects off your walls and furniture. So it'll deliver the best 3D surround effects, tuned specifically for your space and with any TV.
Set up the soundbar using the JBL ONE app, then make it yours. Customize the sound your way with a precise equalizer, browse your favorite music apps, and get software upgrades for all the latest features, right from your couch.
No matter what brand your TV is, enjoy uncompressed Dolby Atmos surround sound through a single HDMI cable thanks to the HDMI eARC connection. The HDMI input connection also offers 4K video quality from a compatible video player or gaming console.
Play that song you're craving, even when you've got your hands full. Just link the soundbar to a device with built-in voice capabilities and control your music hands-free using Google Assistant or Siri.
When you're asleep, so is your soundbar. It uses less than 1 watt of power while in standby mode. That's about the same as your TV's remote control.
FAQs & How-Tos
1 results
-
- Ensure that your JBL One app device is less than 10m/33ft from the speaker during the initial set-up.
- Ensure it is plugged into power and the power LED is illuminated.
- Unplug the power cord, wait 10 seconds, reconnect the power cord and allow the speaker to power up.
- Temporarily relocate either the speaker or router so that they are closer together. If the connection succeeds, the original location may be too far from the router to maintain a stable connection.
- Try using a different device with the JBL ONE app installed and connected to your home network.
