We’ve reviewed our fair share of AV amplifiers, speakers and earbuds from JBL recently, but it has been a while since we’ve had a soundbar from the American audio brand in our testing room. The plainly named Bar 300 is set to rectify this, with a simple proposition. The deal here is that for a fairly modest wad of cash, you can get a feature-rich soundbar complete with Dolby Atmos support and a strong set of streaming options.
Sounds tempting, but before we give it any sort of glowing endorsement, we need to remind you that when it comes to soundbars, sound performance is paramount. So does the JBL deliver? We’re not fully convinced, but that doesn’t mean that this soundbar should be totally overlooked.
