Overview
Not a single bar faking surround, this JBL bar splits two battery powered surround speakers off its ends to sit behind you. Up-firing drivers add Atmos height, a wireless sub adds bass, and Wi-Fi streaming covers AirPlay and Chromecast.
True rear sound without speaker wire is a big step up for typical living rooms. Rear speakers need a recharge between long sessions.
Who it's for
Living rooms where wires cannot cross the floor get true surround and Atmos. Fans of always-powered rears should look at wired systems.
Pros and cons
- Detachable rear speakers
- Atmos up-firing drivers
- Wall brackets for bar and rears
- Rear speakers need recharging
- Single HDMI input

Performance notes
Up-firing drivers reflect sound off the ceiling for height, and calibration adjusts output to the room. Rear speakers dock to charge, then play wirelessly behind you. PureVoice lifts dialogue above effects.
