I did not expect this JBL soundbar to outperform pricier models by Sonos and Bose like this


The JBL Bar 1000MK2 is a theater-in-a-box, and although its main selling point may sound counterintuitive, it works better than expected.

The original JBL Bar 1000 made a compelling case for itself as a versatile soundbar for those who wanted the option of surround sound speakers that weren't necessarily permanently installed and were easy to place as needed. When the surround speakers are detached from the soundbar and placed in their correct positions, they deliver immersive audio when watching content encoded in Dolby Atmos. If you like the idea of surround sound but don't necessarily want to permanently install rear speakers, the JBL Bar 1000MK2 is easily the way to go.
