JBL's multi-talented new soundbar does more than just home cinema
I think that I might have found one of my favourite new soundbars. JBL's newest Bar model (the 1300MK2) isn't just built for movies – though it's clearly ready to knock your popcorn over with bass. Rather than just living in your home cinema, it's multi-talented, and more than ready to act as a speaker for any situation. JBL has essentially taken every shiny bit of tech it could find in the audio department and stuffed it into one very sleek bar. You get Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound, thanks to six up-firing drivers. It also throws in a dual 8-inch subwoofer with AI Sound Boost – a feature that lets you turn up the volume without distorting things. And of course, SmartDetails makes its debut too, which, means you'll hear every creaky floorboard and whispered threat with eerie precision. But the real party trick is a set of detachable wireless speakers. You can plonk them behind you for instant surround sound in your living room, or unclip them and wander off with a Bluetooth speaker. JBL's betting big on versatility here, and I think it's one of this soundbar's biggest selling points. The JBL One Platform holds the whole thing together, letting you stream hi-res audio, fine-tune with a 7-band EQ, and fire up playlists with a single tap. Now, if the 1300MK2 is a bit too much for you, or you're not keen on dropping the equivalent of a small nation's GDP, JBL's got other options. The 1000MK2 drops to two up-firing drivers and a 10-inch sub but keeps the detachable speaker magic. The 800MK2 leans into virtual Dolby Atmos in a more compact build. And if you're just starting out, the 500MK2 and 300MK2 are your entry-level picks – still capable, still immersive, just less likely to upset your downstairs neighbours. The JBL Bar 1300MK2 lands in September 2025, and will be available directly from JBL. The rest of the line-up – the 1000MK2, 800MK2, 500MK2 and 300MK2 – hit shelves this June. There's no word on pricing just yet, but given the spec sheet, don't expect the 1300MK2 to come cheap.

JBL just announced two new portable speakers that support AI Sound Boost technology
JBL just announced a pair of portable speakers that take advantage of the company's AI Sound Boost technology. This software analyzes the signal and maxes out the driver while minimizing distortion. The company says this creates a boost in sound quality. The Flip 7 features an interchangeable strap and carabiner and an updated control placement when compared to the previous generation. The Flip 6 easily made our list of the best portable Bluetooth speakers, so any improvement is just icing on the cake. It also includes an upgraded woofer with more output power, which should further improve the sound. The battery life is solid, at 14 hours of use per charge. There's a Playtime Boost feature that dials back the bass to add another two hours of use. The Flip 7 offers the ability for multi-speaker output that's powered by Auracast and it can play lossless audio over USB-C, just like the Beats Pill. Preorders are open right now, with shipments going out on April 6. This speaker costs $150. The Charge 6 also includes a new design with an updated button layout and a detachable and reconfigurable strap. Just like the Flip 7, it includes a redesigned woofer for an audio upgrade. The battery life here is astounding, at 24 hours of use per charge. This is several hours more than the Charge 5. It also includes Playtime Boost, for even more juice, and a quick-charge feature. This speaker can be used as part of a larger system via Auracast. Preorders are available right now and shipments go out on April 6. That extra battery life does tick the price up a bit, as the Charge 6 costs $200.

JBL Flip 7 and Charge 6 Bluetooth speakers' official launch details leak, including an AI sound mode that I think is a perfect fit for them
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. JBL Flip 7 and Charge 6 US launch details leak in removed press release Pre-orders set for March 10, 2025 – on-sale April 6, 2025 Flip 6 set to be $149, Charge 6 set to be $199 The JBL Flip 7 and Charge 6 Bluetooth speakers are ready to launch soon, according to a press release from the company on Business Wire, which has now been removed – but is still visible via Wayback Machine. It reveals that the new speakers will cost $149 and $199 respectively, and will be available to pre-order in the US from March 10, 2025 – but won't actually be available until April 6. The price is a rise from the previous versions of both models, which launched at $129 and $179 respectively. In the UK, we'd expect them to cost £149 and £199 based on current exchange rates. In Australia, it works out to around AU$295 and AU$395. That's unless you're in China, where the Flip 7 it's already available to order with an early bird price of around $158, according to Gizmochina. In addition to the usual JBL strengths, it looks like the successors to the rather good JBL Flip 6 and JBL Charge 5 will be borrowing one of the best features of the JBL Xtreme 4: the AI Sound Boost mode. The Business Wire release confirms that both speakers will support this tech, and we'll explain why that's a great fit in a moment. But the Gizmochina article says that there's another welcome piece of optimization tech in the Flip 7: a battery mode that squeezes another two hours out of the high-capacity lithium-ion battery by turning off the bass display and equalizer settings. That should mean an improved battery life of 14 hours. I'm the first person to mock fancy-sounding audio optimization tech, because I've listened to a lot of it and found it deeply disappointing. But the AI Sound Boost here could be good, based on when we've already heard it in action. Here's Harry Padoan, who reviewed the JBL Xtreme 4, describing how the system worked for him: "The AI Sound Boost in the JBL Xtreme 4 has pretty controlled, powerful audio and at high volumes it didn't sound distorted at all – that seems to be the purpose of the technology. How much of that is really down to 'AI', I couldn't say, of course." Whether it's AI, engineering or a mix of both doesn't really matter: if it helps the JBL Flip 7 and Charge to push out more powerful sound without distortion than they could manage before, that could be a big win for such small speakers. The Gizmochina articles describes the Flip 7 as using a tweeter, racetrack mid driver and dual bass radiators for sound, which is basically what the Flip 6 offers. It'll be IP68 water and dust-resistant, but a nice upgrade will be the option of USB-C audio input for "lossless" sound, though I don't know that I'd rely on a pint-sized portable speaker for that kind of fidelity… Bluetooth 5.4 will provide the wireless tech, including support for Auracast, to provide the ability to use loads of the speakers together at once. We don't have this kind of info for the Charge 6 yet, but I'd expect them to be basically identical except for a more powerful speaker setup in the Charge, and a larger battery that can charge other devices, naturally. The JBL Flip 6 and JBL Charge 5 both rank among our list of the best Bluetooth speakers based on how good a value they offer, and I suspect that these two speakers will be the biggest competitors to the new models – with the Flip 6 regularly available for under $100 / £100, the Flip 7 is going to have to be a clear upgrade.
