JBL Bar 1000 880W 7.1.4-Channel Dolby Atmos Soundbar System

I swapped out an old sound bar in my living room with this system. I've notice that I'm actually able to control volume with my phone when I'm watching tv, which is nice (a feature I was missing with my other sound bar). It was real easy to setup, as in all I had to do was plug it in. The end caps that come with to use when you separate the small speakers are quite nice. Overall sounds and looks fantastic!

This soundbar far exceeded my expectations. You can leave the rear speakers hooked up to the soundbar, (via magnets, no extra cords needed), to recharge it and for simplicity was such a great idea. The sound is crisp with great treble and punchy bass. The surround sound is immersive. I love it and can't wait to mount the rear speakers when I get a chance.

The setup is so easy, no need to worry about pairing rear speakers or subwoofer and there are no wires. Just connect to your TV's ARC out using the included HDMI cable, and everything syncs all by itself. The directions are very clear and simple. There are covers for the sound bar and satellites to hide where they connect to charge, so that the setup is visually appealing. The sound bar automatically sets the best surround mode based on the input signal it receives from your movie, show or music and displays for example Dolby Atmos on the screen when the movie starts. There is a remote and a phone app to download that allows you to set the 3 band graphic equalizer, and calibrate the speakers based on your room's acoustic attributes and speaker location that will maximize the sound quality and surround effect. It has built in Amazon music and I heart radio, and you can add other services that it access directly from your home internet, so there is no need to tie up your phone or turn on the TV to stream music. The sound rivals a high end stereo setup, with high definition and it lets you set a favorite station through the phone app, assign an amount of time for auto shutoff and you can hit the heart button on your remote anytime to start the music stream that shuts off automatically. I love feature, use it when I am getting ready for work, just so convenient and did I mention it sounds amazing! The highs are crisp and clear while the bass strong and penetrating and voice dialog is easy to understand even at low volumes. I replaced another sound bar with the JBL and really didn't realize how bad my old sound bar was until I heard this one. I am very happy to have this product in my home!

Just got the Bar 1000 yesterday and love it. Compared to the 9.1 it has much better clarity, pure voice greatly enhances the voices and is awesome. Music sounds amazing, can hear every instrument all around you. Action movies are great, you feel totally emerged. 100% recommend.

The JBL Bar 1000 Surround 7.1.4 speaker system is nothing short of breathtaking by producing strong cinema like sound from such a compact and efficient package! Packaged in the 42lb odd L shaped box you will find a center channel SLIM speaker, 2 smaller slim satellite WIRELESS (rechargeable) speakers, a 10" powered subwoofer, remote control, various matched endcaps (to use satellite speakers attached or independently of sound bar), as well as cables (2 power, 1 HDMI) and wall mounting hardware for the satellite speakers. Packaging is secure and looks to be able to withstand even the most harsh carrier abuse. Upon removing and setting up the units, the middle sound bar is very slim and fits nicely below controls of most TV's but also has mounting brackets to mount to a wall hung TV or setup. The satellite speakers are compact and can either mount to each end of the middle sound bar to produce an eye popping 880W total in your face sound extravaganza or independently to produce a full room SURROUND effect that is second to none. The full system is controlled via top controls on main sound bar OR through the JBL ONE app which handles further adjustments to sound quality as well as vital software updates and sound equalization. Speaker calibration adjustments are also handled thru the app thru a series of tones and built in microphones to determine the best sound quality in relation to room speaker placement. The satellite speakers are rechargeable and have a running battery time of around 10 hours on a full charge. The satellite speakers do have USB-C type connectors so that they may be charged (3-4 hours to fully charge) or powered independently of the main sound bar. The satellites can also be attached (built in magnetics) to the main sound bar and recharge which is most convenient. I was wondering why a USB-C cable is not included but the attachment to main sound bar made perfect sense. Upon hooking the sound bar to the TV thru the supplied HDMI cable (or Optical Out), the unit will update via the web/app and the 880W sound experience begins! The main sound bar supplies 440W of sound while the satellites produce 70W each and the 10" bass driver supplies 300W. A unique front scrolling LED type display alerts system messages and volume levels, etc. A nice touch! Settings can be adjusted thru the JBL ONE app which acts as a virtual remote (should you not want to use the supplied sleek remote control) and acts to connect services such as Spotify, Chromecast, Apple Music, etc. via Bluetooth. Of course these services can also be run thru apps on your Smart TV which enhances your sound experience! Middle (Main) sound bar contains 3 HDMI 2.1 Ports (4k 120hz passthroughs) as well as an Ethernet port, power port, USB port, HDMI ARC OUT, or Optical OUT to hook to TV or input many different devices. So onto the sound.. AMAZING! The highs and mids are spot on and crisp and while the bass is very strong! The sub unit only drops to around the 33hz range which is enough to rattle door frames etc at the higher volumes but I was looking for a little lower bass response for a unit with this pricetag. The width and depth of the soundstage is top notch. The unit offers full Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and MultiBeam Surround Sound. The PureVoice technology is also supported to accentuate spoken dialogue and voices in movies and songs to produce a sound treat to even the most detail oriented listener. The system also supports built-in Wi-Fi with Airplay, Alexa Multi-Room Music, Spotify Connect, and ChromeCast Built-In which all work really well and supply infinite hours of sound entertainment! In closing, I preferred using the satellite speakers as rear satellites rather than having the speakers attached and running from the front sound bar. The sound experience was much cleaner and more refined using them in this capacity. The rear satellites can be wall mounted with supplied hardware or strategically set at various listening angles throughout the room. I was thoroughly impressed with the Bar 1000 setup! There are units that are more expensive and units that are less expensive on the market but in this case you truly get what you pay for. The JBL system with its reputation for quality of workmanship and sound is truly a WIN WIN in so many categories and will provide an amazing sound experience for years to come for me and my family!

This surround sound has the beat sound of any brand ice used in the past before. Ive used Bose Surround Sound,and even a Sony Surround Souns,among other ones. This is by far the best sounding one. Its teally loud and clear sounding. And the base is also clear sounding. I would recommend this Surround System over any other brands or kinds. Very nice and defiantly worth the price.

We moved into a new house in 2020 that would no longer support my old surround sound system that consisted of all wired components. There also is a lack of strategically located electrical outlets in the new house, and there was no interest in contending with wires running across the viewing room. Thankfully the new JBL Bar 1000 surround sound system is a solution to my new circumstances. The JBL Bar 1000 is a wireless solution that consists of a soundbar, two detachable, battery-powered wireless speakers and a 10-inch wireless subwoofer. An important draw for this system is that cables are kept to a minimum. The soundbar and subwoofer are the only items that need to be plugged in. The Bar 1000 surround sound system is a 7.1.4 system with five medium surround speakers installed on the front side of the soundbar, together with a central tweeter with a fabric dome and two more tweeters facing laterally and mounted acoustically. In addition, there are four Dolby Atmos (up firing) speakers - two in the soundbar and one in each detachable speaker. The two detachable speaker enclosures are recharged by attaching them to the ends of the soundbar via built-in magnets. These speakers can last around 10 hours detached when fully charged. The detachable surrounds also have a micro-USB port providing an alternate means for recharging. The JBL Bar 1000 has slightly beveled corners with curved ends in an anthracite gray microperforated metal acoustic mesh. The mesh conceals a scrolling LED display on the front of the soundbar. The display provides useful information, such as volume, input selection, power status as well as the battery status of the wireless speakers. The display cannot be seen unless something is being displayed. There are four manual buttons on the top of the soundbar for power, volume and input source. JBL includes several accessories, including side covers for the sound bar and surround enclosures, L-shaped wall fasteners for the sound bar and U-shaped wall fasteners for the surround enclosures, and an HDMI cable. The soundbar's rear connectors include a power port, a USB Type-A port, an optical port, a RJ-45 Ethernet jack, a HDMI OUT with TV eARC, and three HDMI IN ports. The USB port is provided to play MP3 songs from an external storage drive. Most users would probably use a music streaming service (Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick, Google Chromecast) for playing music through the soundbar. A Blu-ray player or a video gaming console, can be connected The JBL Bar 1000 was fairly easy to set up. In my situation, I placed the soundbar below my 65 LED TV as I have an electrical outlet and a cable chase directly behind the TV. I placed the subwoofer next to the wall about 5 feet from the right of soundbar to accommodate an electrical outlet. One detachable surround speaker was placed on a table behind a sofa in the middle of the room. The second detachable speaker was placed on a small bookshelf at the same distance as its mate from the seating area. I followed the quick setup instructions and plugged the provided HDMI cable into the HDMI (ARC) port on my TV and into the HDMI OUT (TV ARC) on the soundbar. I did not have any other devices (e.g., Blu-ray player or game console) plugged into my TV's HDMI(ARC) port so I didn't need to relocate any other cables. The remote control is small and thin and provides buttons for power, TV and Bluetooth input, Atmos intensity, volume up/down, mute, and bass and rear surround adjustment. Following the placement of the system components, I ran the calibration routine using the built-in sound test via the remote control. Once the system as calibrated, I tested the soundbar with Dolby Atmos videos and movies. Everything played sounded very good and the Dolby Atmos effect was fantastic. The primary sources for the videos and movies were YouTube and Netflix. All of the sound channels seemed to be accurately represented based on the information being broadcast from the videos. Overall, if you're looking for a truly wireless surround sound solution and want to upgrade to a Dolby Atmos system that's easy to set up and sounds great, the JBL Bar 1000 is an excellent choice.
