JBL BAR 5.1 Flagship Sound Experience

For buyers looking for a full, all-wireless true surround sound experience, the JBL BAR 5.1 features two battery-powered, rechargeable, wireless rear speakers with 10 hours of battery life – equivalent to the duration of four-to-five Hollywood movies. Making it even more versatile, both rear speakers detach from the soundbar and can be placed anywhere in the room, transforming the system into the ultimate, personalized cinema quality experience. Boasting 510W of total system power, three 4K HDMI™ inputs, a 10” wireless subwoofer and DTS decoding, the BAR 5.1 is the most advanced soundbar in the series, vividly bringing the hardest-hitting action flicks and games to life.
