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

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

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!

Looking for a decent soundbar + sub setup (UK) – what’s actually worth it?

I’ve got a JBL Bar 1300mk2 myself, not cheap but it’s bloody good. https://youtu.be/2CoPy4R60fU?si=rWnf7Jdczox-YZT9 There are cheaper JBL models which are also pretty good and looking at their site they currently have 20% off. https://uk.jbl.com/soundbars/

Samsung 990F or JBL 1300 Pro ?

If you’re going JBL, the new 1300mk2 is on sale for $1500 so only a couple hundred more than the original 1300x (being it’s also on sale). I would go that route being its newer and offers more. Between the 2, JBL has more grunt in the sound and is tuned lower so warmer and “bassier” sound. Samsung i
