JBL Bar 1300X

The JBL Bar 1300X is a 11.1.4-channel soundbar system that supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio formats. These formats use object-based audio to create a three-dimensional sound field that envelops you from all directions, including above.

Four up-firing drivers in the main bar project sound upwards, bouncing off your ceiling to create an immersive surround sound experience. These drivers, along with two more in the detachable speakers, work in tandem to deliver a 3D soundstage that puts you right in the middle of the action. The detachable speakers, powered by rechargeable batteries, offer unparalleled flexibility. They can be positioned anywhere in your room to create a personalized surround sound setup, or you can detach them entirely and use them as standalone Bluetooth speakers for enjoying music on the go or for filling your space with stereo sound. The soundbar’s thunderous 12-inch wireless subwoofer delivers deep, resonant bass that will shake your walls and elevate your movies, TV shows, and music to new heights.

The JBL Bar 1300X elevates your home theater experience with its impeccable sonic capabilities, surpassing even the most renowned home theater systems.

The soundbar boasts exceptional clarity and balance across the entire frequency spectrum, ensuring that every nuance of your favorite content is rendered with precision. The discrete center channel delivers crystal-clear dialogue, making every word resonate in your living room. Whether you’re indulging in a cinematic masterpiece, rocking out to your favorite tunes, or conquering virtual worlds, the JBL Bar 1300X handles it all with unwavering prowess. The soundbar’s subwoofer packs a hefty punch, adding a depth and rumble to the bass that will make your spine tingle.

The JBL Bar 1300X sound system is designed with a sleek and modern aesthetic that complements any home decor. The top panel has buttons for basic controls and voice commands, as well as an LED display that shows input source, volume level, sound mode, Wi-Fi status, battery status of the detachable speakers, and other information. The detachable speakers are also made of black metal and plastic with metal grilles covering the front and sides, just like the soundbar. They have magnets on the back that attach to the soundbar, rubber feet to prevent sliding, and power buttons on top. The subwoofer is a large black box… The soundbar comes with a small ergonomic remote control with rubberized finish.

The soundbar has built-in Wi-Fi with AirPlay, Alexa Multi-Room Music, and Chromecast built-in. This means you can access over 300 online music streaming services and play your favorite songs directly from the soundbar. You can also use voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri to control the soundbar with your voice, as long as you have a compatible device connected to it. The soundbar has 4 HDMI ports, one with eARC, that support 4K video passthrough with Dolby Vision. You can connect your TV, Blu-ray player, game console, or streaming device to the soundbar and enjoy high-quality video and audio. The soundbar also has an optical audio input, a USB port, and an Ethernet port for wired connections.
