Sublime sound, no practical design

Looking for a soundbar that transforms your living room into a movie theater? Then the JBL Bar 1000 MK2 is the perfect choice. The sound is impressive: powerful, crystal clear, and rich in detail. Thanks to Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, everything sounds more spacious, with effects that move around you. You're right in the middle of the action, whether you're a movie buff or just want to share the fun with the neighbors. This soundbar draws you right into the action. The subwoofer and rear speakers are wireless. This allows you to detach the two rear speakers from the soundbar and place them behind you during movie night. The subwoofer can be placed anywhere. All you need is a power supply.

The aesthetics are impressive: modern, sturdy, and it feels luxurious. However, if you mount it on the wall, it lacks a sleek look. It looks more like a bookshelf. The Bar 1000 MK2 juts out slightly, as if you've quickly added a shelf. It works, but it doesn't look as sleek as you might expect at this price. I also noticed that the speaker name kept disappearing via Spotify Connect. You had to change it in the JBL One app to get it back.

Then there are the detachable rear speakers. A clever idea on paper, but a bit of a hassle in practice. If you place them behind your sofa, they need to be connected to USB-C for power. So you still end up with exposed cables. A shame, because you want a neat set. Mounting those speakers isn't exactly a pretty sight either.

And yes, it's a hefty soundbar. You really need some space, because it won't fit under any TV without blocking a portion of the screen. The price is on the high side, but honestly: the sound makes up for a lot.

Conclusion

The JBL Bar 1000 MK2 is designed for anyone who wants top-notch sound and doesn't care about a super sleek finish. The sound is absolutely fantastic. It brings the cinema into your own home. Can you live with some visible cables and a less-than-neat wall mounting? Then you'll enjoy this every day.

Review is 8,8 out of 10.

completely new experience with beautiful sound

Deep bass
Nice clear sound
Sleek appearance
Bulky subwoofer needs power

The JBL Bar 1000 7.1.4 MK2 is incredibly easy to use and installs in under ten minutes. It connects instantly as soon as you turn on your TV – ideal. The sound is impressive: deep bass, clear, and powerful, perfect for movies, TV shows, and music. The only downside: the subwoofer needs constant power and is quite bulky, so if you value your interior, that's something to keep in mind.

Good soundbar and easy to set up.

easy to install
detachable wireless battery behind speakers
Even with the detachable speakers at the bar, you already clearly notice the Atmos / surround effect.
A few more individual settings would be nice

I ordered this soundbar because of the detachable speakers that function as rear speakers. It is especially nice that they are completely wireless (built-in battery). You can also choose to keep them separate from the soundbar at all times, but then you do need to run a power supply to them.

Installation is very easy; you can install the soundbar in just a few steps, especially with the help of the app.

You immediately notice a clear difference in sound.

Depending on what you are watching, you clearly notice surround sound, depending on the source, of course. If you detach the two side speakers and place them behind your seating position, this is further amplified.

The soundbar has enough HDMI connections, so you can connect equipment via HDMI to the soundbar as well as to your TV. It is important, however, to properly configure the sound settings of the peripherals (TV, DVD player, game console). Overall, I am very satisfied with this soundbar. Are there any downsides? Certainly. You can adjust the volume of the detachable rear speakers as soon as you take them off and place them behind you. However, the volume could be higher/louder. Sometimes there is no added value in detaching them, although this naturally still depends on the content you are watching or listening to. Furthermore, apart from the equalizer, there are no other settings. This could have been a bit more extensive.
