Review: JBL Bar 1300X

This soundbar has some of the most immersive surround sound we've heard, but detachable surround speakers we're unsure of.

Killer Dolby Atmos immersion. Clear and balanced sound. Tons of ways to stream music. Fully wireless surround speakers. Solid app. Calibration tunes the sound to your room. Plenty of inputs. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support.

Setup can be a bit confusing. Minimal ways to manually adjust the sound. Wireless surround speakers require regular charging. Expensive.
