KUALA LUMPUR, MY / ACCESS Newswire / December 1, 2025 / Transform your home cinema experience with the new JBL Bar Series, a lineup of soundbars that delivers detailed, rich immersive sound for any home fully compatible with any TV. Whether you’re setting up your first surround sound system or elevating your space with true cinematic audio, with five new feature-packed soundbars to choose from, JBL has something for everyone.
JBL Bar Series
The new JBL Bar Series uses technology inspired by JBL’s rich history and expertise in cinema sound to take you to the heart of the action. The full range features HARMAN’s unique MultiBeamTM 3.0 technology to create a surround sound experience from a single soundbar. Combine this with Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X* and detachable rear speakers, and film fans will experience a front-row movie theatre experience from the comfort of their home.
Immersive sound is about more than just surround; it’s about feeling every detail. That’s why JBL soundbars now feature SmartDetails, a new HARMAN technology engineered to reproduce even the subtlest audio nuance, from a soft footstep to the creak of a floorboard. Feel the deep, powerful bass of intense scenes without distortion, even at high volumes, as JBL introduces AI Sound Boost** to this range for the first time. The lineup also features PureVoice 2.0 for crystal-clear dialogue, enhanced connectivity and a slimmer, more refined design. Bring cinematic sound to your living room like never before with the new JBL Bar Series.
“The new JBL Bar Series isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a complete reimagining of the home audio experience,” said Grace Koh, General Manager and Vice President, Consumer Audio, Harman Asia Pacific. “By seamlessly integrating our latest acoustic innovations with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, we have crafted JBL’s most immersive and best-performing soundbar to date. This series introduces a suite of new features, including SmartDetails, AI Sound Boost, MultiBeam™ 3.0, and PureVoice 2.0. These technologies underscore JBL’s commitment to delivering superior audio performance. Furthermore, the introduction of our JBL One Commander, a wireless Dolby Atmos audio solution, will enhance your home entertainment by offering seamless connectivity and refined aesthetics-all without compromising on JBL’s signature sound quality.”
