About this item

  • Real panoramic surround sound with detachable wireless speakers: Elevate your 3D surround sound experience with dynamic, immersive height. Four up-firing speakers in the soundbar and wireless rear speakers deliver true Dolby Atmos sound. No extra wires. No power connections. Just lift the detachable surround speakers off the soundbar—you can do it with just one hand—and place them behind where you want to sit, instantly transforming them into a true surround sound setup. It's that simple. Whether you're binge-watching your new favorite show or hosting a movie night, the speakers' rechargeable long-lasting batteries mean you'll enjoy immersive, cinematic surround sound for hours.
  • 480W RMS output power and a 10" wireless subwoofer: Transform the way you watch, listen, and game. Experience new cinematic heights of sound. 480 watts RMS of output makes your spatial audio experience feel that much more powerful. Action movies get even more exciting with big, thundering bass from the 10" wireless subwoofer.
  • True Dolby Atmos and DTS:X: Plunge into theater-quality 3D spatial sound with true Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Shiver as spaceships fill the sky overhead. Feel explosions that rumble through your body. Experience music like you're right there in the recording studio.
  • MultiBeam 3.0: Wherever you're sitting, you'll be in the middle of the action. Our MultiBeam 3.0 delivers a wide, cinema-like soundstage that makes every high-speed chase or epic fight scene come alive. The sound beams perfectly fill your room, delivering the most immersive, lifelike, and realistic sound reproduction.
  • PureVoice 2.0: Never miss a softly spoken line or a whispered plot twist. JBL's own PureVoice 2.0 automatically raises or optimizes the dialogue, based on both ambient sound in the scene and your soundbar's volume. So you'll always hear every word, clearly and consistently, in cinema-quality sound.
  • SmartDetails: Hear all the subtleties in a film's sound mix, just like you would in the theater. From a creaking door to a faraway shout, experience every detail the way the filmmakers intended in a clear, balanced sound field, thanks to JBL's own advanced sound enhancement technology.
  • Broadcasting: You don't want to miss any of the big game, even when you're in the kitchen making another batch of hot wings. Just bring one—or both, for stereo sound—of the detachable wireless speakers with you and you'll hear the same great movie-quality audio your family and guests are enjoying in the other room.

    JBL bar big sound, big style, big bedroom vibes!
    We thought we were just upgrading our sound system. What we actually did was invite a full blown concert hall into our master bedroom. The JBL Bar 1000MK2 is not just a soundbar, it’s a sonic beast that delivers 7.1.4 channels of immersive, room shaking, soul hugging sound. It doesn’t just fill the room, it takes over. -Detachable wireless surround speakers? Absolutly. Just pop them off and place them behind me for instant surround sound magic. Gaming Night? Oh yeah. Whether we are racing, questing, or battling, the JBL Bar 1000MK2 makes every moment feel like you're inside the game. - Low latency Bluetooth keeps my audio perfectly synced with the action. - The 10" wireless subwoofer delivers bass so deep it might just shake loose your high score. - Night Mode lets you game late without waking the house, just switch to the detachable speakers and keep the fun rolling. Bluetooth and streaming ,easy peasy We’ve been using Bluetooth to connect both our TV and Spotify, and it’s been smooth sailing. The pairing was quick, the connection is stable, and switching between devices is effortless. Whether it’s a movie marathon or a chill music session, the soundbar handles it all with ease. Detachable speakers: No wires,no worries The detachable surround speakers are completely wireless and battery powered, so I can place them behind me for true surround sound, no cables snaking across the room. And when I'm done? Just snap them back onto the main soundbar and they automatically recharge. It’s surround sound made simple. Design and setup: big, bold, and beautiful Let’s be honest, this soundbar is huge. It’s sleek, modern, and absolutely commands attention. In fact, it was so wide that we had to rethink our setup: we’re mounting the TV to the wall just to give it the space it deserves. But honestly? Totally worth it. - The build quality is solid and premium, with a design that complements any modern room aesthetic. - Setup was surprisingly chill. Everything you need is in the box, HDMI cable, wall mount brackets, remote, and more. - The wireless subwoofer and detachable speakers make placement flexible and clean, so your space stays stylish and clutter free. Is It Worth It? Absolutely. The JBL Bar 1000MK2 is a premium soundbar with premium everything, sound, features, design, and performance. Pros - True 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos & DTS:X for immersive sound - Detachable wireless surround speakers with auto recharge - Massive 10" subwoofer for deep, powerful bass - PureVoice 2.0 keeps dialogue clear - Bluetooth streaming is fast, stable, and easy - Sleek design with premium build quality - Flexible setup with wireless components and included accessories - Night Mode for quiet, private listening Cons - Large footprint may require rearranging or wall mounting my TV - Premium price tag, not budget friendly - No built in voice assistant (requires external smart speaker) - Detachable speakers need to be reattached for charging

      4.0 out of 5 stars Rear speakers can't be heard! Base only at medium volume.
      Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2025
      Style: SoundbarVerified Purchase
      Overall the surround sound doesn't give a good Dolby Atmos or immersive directional sound. This is more like a really good soundbar system with good clarity and a really good base or sub when the volume is turned up, but without Atmos directional sound.

      When cranked up, the speaker bar and sub are loud, have strong base, and sound clear. The rears are underpowered to the point they have zero effectiveness. The rears are like a whisper at best and can't be heard unless you put your ears up to the rear speaker. The rears are completely overpowered by the rest of the system. This is with all the remote control settings turned up.

      At normal everyday listening you can't really hear the base (sub speaker) all that well. The sub doesn't kick in until medium volume, even with the equalizer tuned up. It's not like the sub is underpowered, rather more like a programming issue. You mostly only hear the main bar, which does sound really good. But I fully expected the base to work better at low volumes and the rears to have a decent effect. They might as well not sell the rears and take some money off the price. Basically I think the bar 500 and bar 700 would sound comparable given the weak rears speakers.

      This is the worst sound bar I have ever had. Even older generation JBL soundbars are better than this. The sound cuts out (or blips) every 30 seconds or so for at least 1.5 seconds. I tried every setting under the sun, but nothing helped that unacceptable quirk. I only had it for 36 hours and returned it.

      INTRO

      So I've had the system for a few days and I have to say that I'm quite disappointed. I spent quite some time deciding between this and equivalent Samsung soundbars and for some reason, against my better judgement maybe, I decided to go with the JBL. I think it was a mistake but without testing the Samsung soundbars I cannot be 100% certain. Part of my decision was based around me owning the original JBL Xtreme 1 bluetooth speaker and I figured if JBL can get so much decent performance out of such a relatively small form factor then the soundbar being larger and more expensive overall should perform better. Yeah...No.

      My issues have nothing to do with the things most people complained about. As far as I can tell the system is performing exactly as it was designed......and that's actually my biggest problem with it.

      This is my first soundbar system, I am mostly used to setting up full surround sound systems with amps and separate speakers , stereo systems with subs with crossover adjustments etc. I don't claim to be an expert or audiophile by any stretch but I've owned and setup various systems over 25+ years so I have some idea on what I like and how to get the best out of them to my ears. Considering the amount of reviews I have seen by various youtube "experts" and ordinary folks etc giving this system high praise, I have to question whether to trust anyone any more.

      PROS AND CONS

      Pros: OK yes the bass gets deep, the bass can rock your walls/windows and annoy your neighbours if you like that sort of thing.....great, well done. The clarity from the speakers is pretty decent , setup is fairly quick and simple, the design is not bad , I actually prefer the sharper edges of the previous generation but compared to the bulky boxy rear speakers on the Samsung systems I like the form factor of the JBLs. Wireless connection has been solid, I'm not noticing any significant latency or anything. The Dolby Atmos feeling is decent I guess , I don't really have anything to compare with so I'm just going by how it felt to me in my room. Is it better than a regular 5.1 surround sound? I don't know , maybe, but only somewhat. Maybe I need to play with calibrating more but I don't think I was getting really accurate positional information and I think the separation of the front channels is lacking a bit because of the short length of the bar. There's certainly many moments where sounds are coming from places where theres no speakers so something is working but whether its accurate or not its difficult to say as its all based on reflections. This is supposed to be the Pros part right? ;)

      Cons: Here we go ......The 2 main problems with the JBL 1000mk2 soundbar and I'm assuming this is true for the entire soundbar range is that they are seriously lacking any decent lower mid/upper bass response in the soundbar itself and the woefully weak App.

      Most reviewers are banging on about the power of the bass from the sub but if you turn the sub off , the soundbar sounds weak and cheap frankly, those two bass ports on the soundbar, they are just for show , you would never turn up the soundbar loud enough to have any need for those bass ports to vent anything and I don't think they do anything good for the sound signature at all. They sound hollow and a bit tinny/boxy because of the materials of the soundbar anyway. If you compare them to the JBL Xtreme 1 speaker and the hefty construction of those, you get such a better sound from those. They really should have put in one larger more powerful driver in the soundbar to give the sound some heft and warmth. There's a noticeable gap in the frequency response of the lower-mid/upper-bass from the soundbar and the sub doesn't accommodate for it because the crossover setup seems to make the sub kick in at a too low a frequency range.

      For example there will be moments in a movie where the sub is doing almost nothing at all which means all the work is being done by the soundbar and that's when you will realise how woefully inadequate the soundbar is.
      In a normal separated sub setups or amp you would have a crossover adjustment to help make up for the lack of bass from the other speakers but we don't have that ability here. We're at JBLs discretion on what they deemed is fit for our ears.

      The App is so lame , there’s barely any controls to adjust anything or save any presets on the equaliser . It's the worst app for such an expensive system I have ever seen , JBL should be ashamed frankly. Basically JBL have decided the consumer are babies and they should just let the thing automatically adjust and then you deal with it. That's not how hifi audio / home theatre equipment should be. Every room setup has its own challenges and manufacturers need to give consumers enough advanced controls to be able to dial in the system to their specific needs. That's just how it should be and maybe 90% of the consumers are lazy and won't touch the advanced settings but you cannot give such limited settings without the option to have more advanced settings if needed. You're basically limiting what the system can do and its ability to adjust for its inadequacies . The whole point of making these convenient apartment sized speaker setups is to eek as much performance as possible from a small form factor and there's a heavy reliance on software to achieve that. Cripple the software and you might as well tell everyone that you don't have any respect for your products or your customers.

      Maybe I'm spoiled coming from dedicated amps with a million controls on exactly how much each channel can be dialled in but I'm not even asking for all that much. Having 0-10(or better) range for volume on each channel/speaker and a crossover range for the subwoofer is the bare minimum I would say for a system like this. And not having any way to save presets for the equaliser which has to be adjusted if you're switching from music to movies etc, slap in the face. It's not difficult , they've made a conscious choice to limit adjustments.

      Just having low-mid-high for the adjustment levels of the rear surround and bass with zero adjustment for center channel is crazy. If people live in an apartment like I do (which is what these type of systems are designed for) having room shaking bass is only good for the occasional party , but for day to day use , you want to dial in the sound scape so its well adjusted for the room and has good low volume performance. I noticed that I often need something between the low and high setting to get an ideal response at certain volumes and you just cannot do that , which is ridiculous frankly and then I have to manually adjust the EQ when I'm switching between movie and music because I can't save presets.
      I don't have any hope that JBL see it in their infinite wisdom to update the App and give us the options to improve the quality of life of this system. This is their second iteration of an almost flagship soundbar and clearly they don't care about that if it doesn't exist already.

      ADDITIONAL NOTES

      I actually attached the rear surrounds to the wall with the provided wall mount. Nice to have the mounts provided but the wall mounting setup is not great. The way the speaker slots into the wall mount, its a single connection point, it has so much room to move that the speaker sags a bit and can rotate slightly so it can look not level and aesthetic. I know these aren't necessarily made for permanent mounting but it was an option and I wish they had put more thought into it....but its the least of the issues.

      CONCLUSION

      Anyway long rant but general conclusion is , unless you ONLY care about bass from the sub , you probably want to go and check out the Samsung range (or something else) first before buying anything from JBL soundbar wise (I know its the same company ). Atleast they have the decency to provide more controls in their app for channel adjustments and not infantilise their customers. Yes their latest F ranges sub woofer speaker is smaller and might lack some sub bass heft but I imagine it would actually be better at filling in the gap of the upper bass/ lower mids and for an apartment it would be perfectly fine. I was seriously considering the 930f model Samsung which was cheaper than this and has more speakers in the soundbar so technically it could have even given a better Dolby Atmos performance for less money.

      I've attached a movie to show my JBL Xtreme 1 and the JBL 1000 MK2 soundbar (without the subwoofer on) playing some music to demonstrate how lacking in critical lower mid/upper bass frequencies the 1000mk2 sound bar is . (HEADPHONES NEEDED TO LISTEN!!!) .
      If they can make the Xtreme sound that full then they can certainly do it with the soundbar but they chose not to and it hurts the performance.
      I'm happy to be proven wrong in anything I said, this is just my opinion. Hope it helps someone with their choices.

      It sounds great and connects to all my blue tooth devices. The issue I had is the controller stopped working? It just decided one day it wouldn't function anymore. So now I use my projectors controller to control it BUT I still need to turn it on manually by walking up to it. So I can't give it a perfect score :(
