The JBL Bar 1300 MK2 is the flagship of the JBL soundbar range and the one that solves the problem every other soundbar has: real surround speakers, without running cable across the room. The two ends of the bar detach, run on their own batteries for about ten hours, and become genuine wireless rear channels. Put them back and they recharge. Totot sells the JBL Bar 1300 MK2 sealed with a one-year UAE warranty and fixed AED 10 delivery.

What 11.1.4 means on the JBL Bar 1300 MK2
Eleven surround channels, one subwoofer channel, four height channels. In hardware that is eight 50 x 75 mm racetrack drivers, seven 25 mm tweeters and four 75 mm up-firing full-range drivers inside the bar, plus two racetrack drivers, a 50 mm full-range and a 75 mm up-firing driver in each detachable surround, and a dual 8 inch subwoofer. Total output is 1235 W RMS at 1 percent THD.
Because the height drivers are real up-firing units rather than virtualised, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X on the JBL Bar 1300 MK2 put sound above you instead of merely widening the front stage. Frequency response runs from 33 Hz, which is low enough that action films land properly.
The detachable surrounds
Lift the two ends off the bar and you have a pair of battery-powered rear speakers rated for about ten hours on a 4722 mAh pack. Set them behind the sofa for a film, then dock them again and the bar becomes a single unit and charges them.
This is the feature that makes the JBL Bar 1300 MK2 worth its price over cheaper Atmos bars. Rear channels are what actually creates surround, and every other approach either needs mains sockets behind you or does not have rears at all. MultiBeam 3.0 and automatic room calibration then measure the room and correct for it.
Connections and everyday use
Three HDMI inputs and one eARC output with HDCP 2.3 mean the JBL Bar 1300 MK2 can sit between your console, your streaming box and your television rather than fighting for the one port. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ pass through untouched. There is also optical in, Bluetooth 5.3, and Wi-Fi 6 on both bands.
AirPlay, Google Cast, Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect are all built in, so music does not need the television on. PureVoice 2.0 lifts dialogue out of a loud mix, which is the setting most households end up leaving on permanently. The One Commander remote has its own screen and USB-C.
Setup and what is in the box
The JBL Bar 1300 MK2 ships with the main bar, both detachable surrounds, the wireless subwoofer, the One Commander remote, an HDMI cable, wall-mount brackets and templates, side caps and the regional power cords. The subwoofer pairs itself on first power-up.
Physically the full bar is 1404 mm wide with the surrounds attached and 1030 mm on its own, so measure your television stand for both numbers. The sub is 315 x 277 x 275 mm and 12 kg, and it can go anywhere in the room since it is wireless.
