JBL continues to redefine home audio with the launch of its next-generation JBL Bar Series—a lineup designed to deliver richer, deeper and more immersive sound than ever before.
Introduced in Kuala Lumpur on 1 December 2025, the new Bar Series blends JBL’s renowned cinema audio heritage with cutting-edge acoustic innovation, offering homeowners a cinema-grade experience in the comfort of their own living room.
With five new feature-packed soundbars, ranging from powerful flagship models to budget-friendly options, JBL ensures that everyone—from movie lovers to first-time apartment dwellers—can experience immersive entertainment.
Each model is engineered to work seamlessly with any TV, making them ideal upgrades for all home setups.
Cinema Technology Reimagined for the Home
Drawing inspiration from decades of JBL’s professional cinema expertise, the new JBL Bar Series is built to place users at the heart of the action. All models feature HARMAN’s MultiBeam™ 3.0 technology, enabling room-filling surround sound from a single soundbar.
When paired with Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X* and models with detachable rear speakers, users can enjoy a truly panoramic, theatre-like audio experience.
Beyond immersion, JBL focuses on the details—literally. The new range debuts SmartDetails, a breakthrough HARMAN technology that reproduces the most subtle sound elements, from soft footsteps to environmental textures.
Combined with AI Sound Boost (exclusive to the Bar 1300MK2), users can enjoy intense low-frequency effects without distortion, even at high volumes.
To elevate clarity, the series integrates PureVoice 2.0, ensuring crisp and clear dialogue during action-packed or effects-heavy scenes. This, along with enhanced connectivity options, a sleeker physical design and more refined interfaces, positions the series as JBL’s most advanced lineup yet.
Power Meets Precision: The New JBL Bar 1300MK2
Leading the lineup is the JBL Bar 1300MK2, a true flagship soundbar built for enthusiasts seeking premium cinematic performance. It features:
- Dual 8-inch subwoofers powered by AI Sound Boost
- Six up-firing drivers for authentic overhead Dolby Atmos®
- Two detachable wireless surround speakers
- A compact but extremely powerful sound profile
Users can position the detachable speakers behind them for immersive surround sound—or connect them via Bluetooth and use them as standalone portable speakers anywhere in the home.
Another groundbreaking addition is the JBL One Commander, a wireless Dolby Atmos audio solution that allows the Bar 1300MK2 to connect to compatible TVs and projectors without a single cable. This enhances convenience and aesthetics, offering a more streamlined and uncluttered living space.
A Soundbar for Every Home and Every Lifestyle
JBL understands that every home is different, and the refreshed lineup reflects this diversity. Whether you’re seeking premium surround sound for your living room or an affordable upgrade for your bedroom setup, there’s something for everyone:
- JBL Bar 1000MK2 – A powerful performer with two up-firing drivers, a 10” subwoofer and detachable rear speakers.

Built on JBL One Platform for Unlimited Content & Personalization
All soundbars in the lineup run on the JBL One Platform, an ecosystem designed for seamless streaming, deep personalization and multi-device compatibility.
Users can stream from any major music service—including hi-res and spatial audio formats—via the JBL One App. From the app, users can also:
