JBL’s soundbar with detachable rear speakers is over $300 off

Comments

1. Solar Warden: usually go for more speaker options, but this thing's detachable design has me curious how it sounds 🗣️
2. Mirage Serpent: i still can't wrap my head around why anyone would want a soundbar that's just sitting on a table, compared to something with actual depth like this jbl system seems like
3. Freya: this thing looks too gimmicky for me even at the discounted price
4. Nova: idk why people are so hung up on rear speakers - a good soundbar is all you really need for casual listening
5. Obsidian Specter: idk, 300 bucks for a detachable thingy still seems like a lot just to me
6. Shadow Nova: haven't seen a better deal on the Bar 700 Mark 2 yet
7. Amirellis: how does the detachability impact sound quality honestly?
8. Mila: I'm surprised no one has mentioned the price drop yet - for that kind of cash I'd expect a much more comprehensive setup with some serious wireless capabilities too
9. Marek: i've had this system for a few months now and honestly, the detachable speakers are just as important to me as the soundbar itself - they make a huge difference in films
10. Brunob: love the concept of detachable satellites but isn't this basically what's been holding up some movies' audio in theaters for ages?
11. Frost Vector: you think anyone needs this much kit for Netflix
12. Liamnilsson: most people are still gonna go for the cheaper all-in-one option though
13. Liamk: I just got a surround sound setup from that brand last year and it's been super finicky - I mean how hard is it to design something with a few detachable speakers?
14. Mirage Shard: can't believe people are still debating soundbar vs satellites, meanwhile this thing is just doing its own thing and looks like a sad desk phone
15. Cobalt Echo: what's the point of detachable rear speakers if the sonics are mediocre?
16. Noahsol: I'm surprised The Verge would recommend something this expensive without a thorough listening test, sounds like just another overhyped product
17. Halcyon Wolf: I've been wanting to upgrade my home theater setup for ages, but the prices always seemed ridiculous. This deal is tempting, but I'm still not sure if it's worth the
18. Fathom Echo: not sure I'd call this a unique option when you can get satellites designed to work specifically with a soundbar like mine for under $100
19. Kai: i get why people are torn on rear speakers but this price makes me think about just how much more immersive that would actually be
20. Sharmaamir: price doesn't matter to me but this design is a nonstarter
21. Leor: it feels weird they're promoting an entire sound system when most people just plug in whatever sounds ok
22. Shadow Moth: price doesn't even bother me if it's a genuine game-changer, but what's the real experience like with those detachable rear speakers?
23. Leo: personally love the modular design of this soundbar, makes total sense if you live in a small apartment like I do and don't want to splurge on a full surround system
24. Ninaholtxo: i've had the bar 700 for years and still haven't figured out what its detachable speakers are supposed to add exactly
25. Vossnora: finally a chance to get the whole system without breaking the bank
26. Cobalt Warden: i'm still on the fence about soundbars in general but this one's design is actually kinda cool
27. Diazadam: can't imagine dropping that kind of cash for surround sound when i just upgraded my gaming setup to a sweet pair of PC speakers
28. Echo Mantis: I'd rather get something wholehearted for that price tag
29. Novasato: idk guys, the real question is would 300 bucks make a difference in actual sound quality that most people can notice
30. Aidenkaur: $300 off? more like $1k needed to not be embarrassed by this system
31. Dusk Vesper: people tend to oversell the whole surround sound thing anyway
