Who said home theater had to mean a mess of cables, speaker stands, and complicated setup? With the JBL BAR 800MK2, you get a real 7.1-channel surround experience — complete with Dolby Atmos, wireless rear speakers, and a massive 10-inch subwoofer — all in a sleek, no-hassle soundbar system that turns your living room into a mini cinema.

Surround that’s actually surround

Forget simulated surround effects — JBL went all in here. The BAR 800MK2 comes with battery-powered wireless rear speakers you can place anywhere behind your sofa. They give you genuine 3D sound with depth, width, and height — so when a helicopter flies overhead or a car screeches past in Fast & Furious, you feel it, not just hear it.

Each speaker runs on its own built-in battery for up to 10 hours of playback, and when you’re done, just dock them on the ends of the soundbar to recharge. Easy.

A subwoofer with serious muscle

Then there’s the wireless 10-inch subwoofer — the heartbeat of the system. It doesn’t just deliver bass; it moves air. Explosions, soundtracks, even dialogue gain physical presence. It’s the kind of low end that makes your chest vibrate and your movies feel cinematic.

Music fans aren’t left out, either. With Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Google Cast, Apple AirPlay, and Bluetooth, the BAR 800MK2 is a streaming chameleon. Fire up your playlists from any device, from anywhere in the room.

The included wireless 10” subwoofer provides the deep bass, so you can also feel movie effects and explosions in your diaphragm.

Portable speakers with a twist

Those detachable rear speakers? They double as portable Bluetooth speakers. Take them into the kitchen, pair them in stereo, and continue your playlist while you cook. You can even route your TV sound to them only — perfect for late-night Netflix without waking the kids.

And if that’s not enough, JBL’s Auracast Bluetooth lets you connect even more JBL speakers wirelessly. Want to throw a house party? Link a few extra JBL units and watch your living room turn into a full-blown surround concert.

You can also use the speakers as portable Bluetooth speakers, even in stereo

Seamless setup and smart control

The BAR 800MK2 automatically powers on and off with your TV and works with your regular remote — no app juggling, no confusion. Mount it under your TV with the included bracket or place it neatly on your console. JBL even includes a drilling template so you don’t mess up your wall.

Countless possibilities with battery-powered surround speakers

BAR 800MK2 vs. BAR 1000MK2

It’s almost the same powerhouse as JBL’s flagship BAR 1000MK2 — just without the upward-firing drivers for Atmos height channels and a few less watts. In exchange, you keep a hefty chunk of cash in your pocket — while still getting that true cinematic punch.

The JBL BAR 800MK2 is for anyone who wants full-scale movie sound without full-scale effort. It’s immersive, flexible, and powerful — a perfect blend of simplicity and performance. Once you’ve heard what it can do, you’ll never go back to TV speakers again.
