JBL’s new flagship soundbar has quite a lot to shout about. Not only does the Bar 1300 (known as the Bar 1300X in some regions) manage to match the huge 11.1.4 channel count of Samsung’s excellent HW-Q990C, but it also claims an almost absurdly huge total power output of 1170W – not to mention an included subwoofer that boasts a class-leadingly large 10-inch driver.
It’s also one of a rare soundbar breed that conveniently features battery-powered wireless rear speakers that you can actually attach to the ends of the package’s main bar when you don’t want them cluttering the back of your room – or you need to recharge them.
The Bar 1300 certainly talks a very good talk – especially for a package which, at $1,300/£1,300, nestles in nicely against key full surround rivals from the likes of Samsung and LG. But does it have the performance to back up the hype? Here’s my full review.
