I have a JBL BAR 1300 MK2 and it’s pretty awesome. The biggest factor which swayed my decision from the Samsung 990F was that the rear surround speakers are completely wireless. This was a huge plus compared to having speakers which required man’s power connection due to my living room layout. They

I have a JBL Bar 1000 and I love it. My room is small though. So it gives me close to movie theater sound. Room size matters with soundbars.

The JBL Bar 1000 MK2 (don't get mk1) also has wireless battery powered rear speakers. Way more powerful and better for movies, but the Yamaha might be better for music. Not sure.

Neat! Will be interesting to see how the Bar 1000 is going to compare. Happy to help anytime, let me know if there are further questions. One tip for the JBL Bar setup is that for calibration step 1 to not put the rears beside you as indicated, but in front of you nearer to the soundbar. And then st

According to number 4,discovered that when you Calibrate this system the sorround effects lowers so much, but discovered another trick is to calibrate the main bar save and skip the speaker distance (rears) by plugging off the soundbar from electricity and switching off the rears, after reset from j

I have tested the jbl bar 1000 and this in bass hts60 is winner but in surround and dolby jbl bar wins that doesn't mean hts60 is not worthy it tries to imitate sound which is coming from ceiling but I can say it's true dolby surround sound lack of upfiring speakers cannot decide that this is virtua

คือแบบหลงรักเสียงเบส JBL จริงๆ มันสร้างเสียง "ดังกัมปนาท" ที่ทำให้หนังมันรู้สึกมีมิติและเข้มข้น ตอนนี้กำลังชั่งใจระหว่าง Q990F กับ JBL Bar 1000 MK2 อยากได้ 1300 MK2 แต่ราคามันสูงไปนิดสำหรับผม และห้องน่าจะเล็กเกินไป

Skipping the calibration made a huge difference for me. When calibrated (even with the trick with putting the speakers closer to the soundbar during the first calibration stage) the rear speakers were very quiet and I could barely hear them. Without the calibration, the audio experience has been com

Avoid Sonos. They are still in deep trouble because of software issues since almost 2 years now. Some days ago even their current CEO acknowledged they have a lot of work to do to fix all these issues. You will find here a lot of influencers to tell you that all issues are solved or they never exper

I have the JBL BAR 1000 and the app and I still have to turn off smart mode everytime lol. The app is nice though, been using the night listening mode a lot where it disables the main soundbar and subwoofer and you remove the satellite speakers and just place them right in front of you so you don't
