While standalone soundbars are certainly one of the most comfortable ways to spice up the lacking sound quality of modern televisions, proper surround systems can provide a much more immersive soundstage. Fortunately, the American speaker manufacturer JBL offers a corresponding 5.1 soundbar that is easy to set up since it does not require running cables across the entire living room.
More specifically, the JBL Bar 5.1 features detachable battery-powered surround speakers that connect wirelessly to the soundbar itself and therefore do not require any kind of cable. Although this audio system originally sold for US$699, the 5.1 soundbar is now available for US$399 after the manufacturer itself introduced a significant discount of 43 percent or US$300 in its official online shop. Most importantly, this deal undercuts Amazon's lowest price ever for the JBL Bar 5.1, which is already sold out at many retailers as it is slowly being phased out and replaced by the recently released 2023 models.
In addition to the unique true wireless satellite speakers, the JBL Bar 5.1 comes with a powerful dedicated 10-inch subwoofer and a total output power of 510 watts. The audio system also sports three HDMI ports for 4K passthrough as well as Bluetooth and DTS and Dolby Digital support. Unfortunately, this setup cannot play DTS:X or Dolby Atmos audio tracks. Nevertheless, this 5.1 soundbar deal is an excellent and comparatively wallet-friendly pick for TV owners who do not want to run cables for a conventional AVR-based home theater audio system.
