It has arrived!!!
I just purchased the JBL Bar 1300x Mk2 and can't wait to dig in. It beat the latest Samsung flagship in a head to head!

Which soundbar system is better for music, Samsung Q990F or JBL 1300X MK2 ?
I have the JBL 1300X MK2 in an open concept house with 10 ft ceilings. I got it black Friday and it is absolutely amazing. This system is ridiculous, the base shakes my house and I haven't gotten close to max volume. Movie nights are so much fun. The dialogue is crystal clear and I love the detachab

Can't say much for samsung. But I got the JBL bar 1300x Mk2 (North American version) and it's great!

AVR receiver died. Should we just move to a soundbar system for simplicity?
I sold my entire 7.4.4 system. Never looked back or regretted selling it. For what time i actually got to enjoy it, it was amazing. But most of the time it wasn’t used for what it truly was. Currently I have JBL bar 1300mk2 and I’m extremely happy with it. Wife is also happy with it. It is much much

Torn between Samsung Q990F and JBL 1300 MK2
The European version of the JBL 1300 mk2 has 1200watts going to the 2 8 in drivers in the sub. The 990f has 300watts going to the 2 8in drivers in the sub. The JBL will destroy the 990f in the sub department. The 990f sub is truly underwhelming

Sonos, Sennheiser or Samsung? What to pick for LG TV?
You might want to consider this as well - https://www.lg.com/global/newsroom/news/media-entertainment-solution/lg-sound-suite-the-worlds-first-soundbar-audio-system-powered-by-dolby-atmos-flexconnect/ Not sure when it will actually be available or how much it will cost, but I think it will be LG's f

JBL Bar 1300MK2 vs. MK1: Massive disappointment (Defective unit?) - Non-existent bass & static noise
I’ve got the 1300 MK 2 and the bass has been pretty immense, so much so I’ve had to turn it down a touch and that was on the 3 setting, now it’s a little under 3. During the opening of one of the latest Stranger Things episodes something happens before the titles and it literally shoot everything, t

Bose vs Sonos vs JBL vs Samsung vs Sennheiser, hummmm...
You must have not heard the JBL 1300x MK2 because after owning it for 2 months I'm convinced it's the best system on the market.

Love my new JBL 1300XMK2 - for my own reasons
I got the same system at home! I upgrade from a Sony A7000 with the RS5 rear speakers and the SW5 subwoofer. The JBL 1300X MK2 is a vast improvement! Even at just turning it up to 12-15. It fills my bedroom with ease!

Pulled the trigger on jbl 1300. Anyone have it and thoughts? i’m upgrading from a 2.1 jbl system
I'm returning my Q995F and getting this instead. I upgraded my JBL Bar 9.1 to the Q995F, but I just need a better subwoofer and more bass. The JBL 1300 MK2 seems insane
