JBL has refreshed its soundbar lineup for 2025, introducing several powerful updates to its Bar series. The new models are set to release later this month, starting at $449.
The flagship Bar 1000 MK2 boasts a 10-inch wireless subwoofer and detachable side speakers that let users enjoy uninterrupted music or movie time, even when away from the TV. This model features a 7.1.4 channel setup with an impressive 960W max power output, ensuring a louder and more immersive listening experience.
The Bar 1000 MK2 also comes equipped with advanced audio technologies such as true Dolby Atmos, DTS:X 3D surround sound, and MultiBeam 3.0. Additionally, it features PureVoice 2.0, which automatically optimizes dialogue volume based on ambient sound in the scene.
Other models in the lineup include the Bar 700 MK2, starting at $899, and the Bar 500 MK2 and Bar 300 MK2, priced at $649 and $449 respectively. While some models lack true Dolby Atmos or JBL’s Night Listening mode, they still offer improved audio capabilities and convenient detachable speakers.
The most expensive model, an 11.1.4-channel follow-up to the Bar 1300X, will release in the fall at $1,699. This top-of-the-line soundbar boasts detachable speakers with standalone Bluetooth capabilities.
