Pros: A slim bar with a 10 inch wireless sub that reaches deep, so movies get convincing rumble. Wi-Fi brings AirPlay, Chromecast, Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect, and room calibration tunes it to your space. A good fit for a medium living room that wants stronger bass than a bar alone.
Cons: There are no up-firing or rear speakers, so Atmos height and surround effects are weak. Its HDMI input does not pass 4K at 120Hz. For real surround, JBL Bar 1000MK2 adds detachable rears and height drivers.
