Looking to transform your living room into a personal IMAX without selling a kidney?
JBL’s top-tier Bar 1000MK2 soundbar system just dropped to $899.95 at Crutchfield—that’s a hefty 25% off its usual $1,199.95 price tag.
The JBL Bar 1000MK2 isn’t just another black rectangle to collect dust under your TV. This 7.1.4-channel beast brings legitimate cinema-quality audio to your mediocre Tuesday night streaming sessions.
With true Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, this system literally bounces sound off your ceiling to create a dome of audio that makes you feel like you’re sitting inside the action rather than just staring at it.
JBL Bar 1000MK2 Soundbar
JBL’s Bar 1000MK2 is basically a full-blown home theater crammed into a single sleek sound bar, slinging real 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos, detachable wireless surrounds, and a 10-inch sub that makes your TV’s built-in speakers sound like a sad phone in a shoebox.
- Huge, room-filling Dolby Atmos sound.
- Detachable wireless surrounds add real rear channels.
- Big 10-inch sub slams for movies and games.
- Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth built in.
- Requires space for bar, sub, and surrounds
- Might be overkill for tiny apartments.
What sets this apart from cheaper alternatives is the genuine surround sound setup: detachable wireless rear speakers that you can position anywhere in your room, plus a wireless subwoofer that delivers bass you’ll feel in your chest cavity.
When you’re not using the rear speakers, they reattach to the main bar for charging. That’s some Tony Stark level engineering right there.
Key Takeaways
- True 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos experience with detachable wireless rear speakers and a subwoofer that will make your neighbors hate you
- Multi-room flexibility with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Apple AirPlay 2 support so you can stream from literally any device you own
- Limited-time pricing that rarely drops this low on a current-gen premium audio system
The Bar 1000MK2 also packs some serious connectivity options.
Beyond the expected HDMI ports, you get Bluetooth for casual streaming, Wi-Fi for higher quality audio, and Apple AirPlay 2 support for the ecosystem devotees. It’s basically future-proof unless we all start communicating telepathically next year.
For context, most soundbars in this price range either skimp on the true surround elements or make you run speaker wire across your living room like it’s 1997.
JBL’s wireless approach means you can have cinema-quality audio without your space looking like a Best Buy stockroom.
Don’t Sleep On This Deal
At $899.95, the JBL Bar 1000MK2 sits in that sweet spot where you’re getting genuinely premium audio without venturing into “I should have just bought a car instead” territory.
This deal knocks it down from “significant investment” to “surprisingly reasonable for what you’re getting.”
Click here to grab the JBL Bar 1000MK2 for $899.95 before the price jumps back up and you’re left explaining to yourself why you’re still using your TV’s built-in speakers like some kind of animal.
