According to our soundbar expert
The Harman Kardon Enchant 1300 is a soundbar for large living rooms. This 13-channel soundbar has Harman's MultiBeam Surround Sound technology. This means that you can enjoy a virtual surround sound. This way, it sounds like you're in the middle of the action of your favorite movie. You can stream your music and videos via WiFi, thanks to the built-in Chromecast. Now you can use your smartphone as streaming device, and you can use the apps that are on your phone. With the calibration function, the sound will be adjusted to the acoustics of your living room.
Connect the Harman Kardon Enchant 1300 to your TV
Use the included optical or HDMI cable to connect your soundbar to your television. Keep in mind that your TV needs an optical connector to use the soundbar. We recommend HDMI ARC cable.

Due to our new house I had to look for a replacement for my current 5.1 set. After a long search we came across the Harman Kardon Enchant series. Beautiful design, easy to install and many connectivity options including chromecast functionality.
Nowhere in the Netherlands found a shop where this is displayed, but Cool blue allowed me to try out the Enchant 1300 and 800 at home with the Enchant subwoofer.
Our living room of 3.5 by 5 meters is super filled with beautiful sound. I can now put my KEF speakers on the marketplace with confidence.
The 1300 vs the 800 was not very different in terms of Dolby experience and the power from the 800 was enough for our living room. Still undecided about the sub, but oh my gosh - it just got better. The 5.1 experience is approached well. Spent two hours switching between my old and new setup, but in the end could only discover little difference in experience.
Only downside - this set does not have Atmos. Something that other soundbars in this price range do offer. No problem for us.

Picked up the Harman Kardon 1300 enchant + subwoofer during Black Friday. Most of the reviews on the internet were people who bought the set for the original price, but nevertheless the reviews were already very positive so I thought, for half the price, that must be a blast.
And or. What a sound experience Harman Kardon puts down here. Installation and pairing of the set is a piece of cake. In my case, the soundbar was placed on a TV cabinet. You also have the option to mount the soundbar on the wall with the supplied wall brackets. The subwoofer is placed on the floor next to the TV cabinet. The subwoofer is on the large side, keep this in mind. Once supplied with power and the supplied HDMI ARC cable, connected to the television and you can get started. Pairing the soundbar with the subwoofer is done via a dedicated pairing button on both devices. The connection was established within seconds.
Before I bought this set, I only had the sound of a 4K television from 2019. Everyone knows that the sound from these modern televisions can be called okay, but no more than that. This became apparent once again after switching to this set. You are overwhelmed with sound, in a positive way. The sound is lively, balanced and clear ('crisp'). The subwoofer completes the sound. Pay attention to the neighbors because on the standard settings you chase them out of the house with a little volume.
A unique selling point of Harman Kardon is the multi-beam surround sound technology. This turns out not to be a gimmick and it really works. The sound is well and powerfully distributed throughout the room and in my opinion makes a real 5.1 or 7.1 set unnecessary.
Harman Kardon supplies a remote control and two AAA batteries with the soundbar. The remote control lets you adjust the volume, switch sound modes, boost or reduce bass and offers the option of saving sound profiles. The latter is useful because you can save combinations of volume, bass and sound modes (music/movie/voice/standard) as a preset that you can then activate again at the touch of a button. Handy if you want specific sound for your movies or your music. The only drawback of the remote control is that another remote control is added and can get lost between the couch. That is quickly forgotten for the control it offers over the soundbar.
The soundbar also comes with bluetooth and switching between the different devices is easy. The above-mentioned remote control has a bluetooth button that puts your soundbar into pairing mode and allows you to connect your phone. This also worked without problems and could therefore easily switch the sound between TV and telephone.

Beautiful sound, beautiful low tones and a sleek design. Multibeam also works well.
