The JBL Bar 1300XMK2 is the best way to get movie theater-quality sound at home. Although objectively expensive at $1,699, it’s actually not as expensive as some lower-power options from alternative brands. Dialogue is crystal clear, and bass is powerful and enveloping. One of my favorite soundbars ever.

Pros

+Crystal clear dialogue

+Bombastic yet controlled bass

+Immersive Dolby Atmos via true wireless rears
