The Enchant 900 takes the more ambitious route, offering a 5.1.4-channel layout with up-firing drivers for true Dolby Atmos height effects. It delivers a big, spacious and energetic sound, and adds flexibility with optional wireless surrounds and a subwoofer. However, its softer bass and slightly coarse treble mean it can’t quite match the JBL.
Pros
- Energetic, powerful overall sound
- Room-filling and spacious
- Clean, emotive vocals
Cons
- Harsh treble when pushed
- Bass not as defined as rivals
- Not the most subtle

The JBL Bar 300MK2 keeps things simpler on paper, relying on virtual Dolby Atmos rather than dedicated height drivers, but it proves the stronger performer where it counts. Its punchy, controlled bass and room-filling presentation make films and TV hugely engaging, while its lower price boosts its appeal even further. Excellent value.
Pros
- Deep, weighty and room-filling sound
- Clear dialogue
- Convincing Dolby Atmos effect for a solo soundbar
Cons
- Not as crisp, clear or controlled as the best rivals
- Not as accomplished with music as with movies
