Overview
Not a soundbar that fakes rear effects, this JBL has surround speakers that detach from the ends of the bar and sit behind you. Up-firing drivers add height, and a large subwoofer handles the low end.
Real rear speakers plus height channels deliver a full home theater from one purchase, with HDMI inputs to switch sources. Its size and output are more than small rooms need.
Who it's for
Living rooms and dedicated media rooms get a complete surround setup with easy streaming. Small spaces and light users may find it oversized.
Pros and cons
- Detachable real surround speakers
- Up-firing height drivers
- Three HDMI inputs with passthrough
- AirPlay and Chromecast
- Large system to place
- Detachable surrounds need recharging
- Subwoofer takes floor space
Performance notes
Immersion comes from up-firing drivers that bounce height effects off the ceiling and surround speakers placed behind the seats. Room calibration in the JBL One app adjusts the sound field to the space.
