The ultimate 3D surround experience that will blow you away. You~ve never heard anything like the JBL BAR 1300X~in your living room or anywhere else. More than just a great soundbar, it~s a full sound system. It features MultiBeam and six up-firing drivers~four in the bar and two in the detachable battery-powered surround speakers~that deliver massive Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D surround sound, centering you in your music, movies, and games. 1170W of total output power and thrilling bass from a 12~ subwoofer is more than enough to make the room shake. Though, you~ll never miss a word with due to our PureVoice technology, which makes sure the dialogue is clear even when other sounds are at their loudest. When you want to enjoy your favorite tunes choose streaming via either AirPlay, Alexa Multiroom Music (MRM), or Chromecast built-in that give you over 300 music streaming options. But that~s not all. Your choices are as unlimited as you are because you can also pair the soundbar to your Bluetooth device. You can even take one of the detachable speakers (or both for powerful stereo sound) out to your kitchen or patio and enjoy listening to your favorite music or podcast there.

Fantastic soundbar
on March 23, 2023
Posted by: Helping
The atmos/dtsx is pronounced on this system. I believe it’s because the extra two upward firing drivers in the main bar. My room is around 20x16 and this bar fills it with no issue. Watching 4k bku-rays is a dream come true on this sytem - terminator dark fate, live die repeat, A quiet place 1/2, and LOTR sound incredible. The subwoofer is next level for soundbars - it hits deep and the extra 2 inches in driver size really helps hit those lows. Setup was a breeze, and the app control for the EQ is a nice touch. The app itself has some nice features like virtual remote, calibration, EQ, and other miscellaneous things. It’s not the MOST advanced app, but it does provide great usability. Dialogue is no issue compared to the JBL 9.1, and dynamics are much better as well. The 990c from samsung has a lot to compete with here. Great purchase and I suggest you buy this if you can!

GREAT PC - But arrived damaged
on February 16, 2023
Posted by: Helping
Verified Purchase:Yes
Everything works fine, case looks fine, fans, GPU, cable management. However - upon arrival today and inspection, the PCI-E clip (on the motherboard that locks gpu in place) is broken. Either way you HAVE to screw in the graphic card anyways to keep the card 100% secure, but wanted to share. This does not affect performanxe, but it is a bit annoying. I have a 2 year warranty and its not a gaurentee this wont happen again if returened and bought once more - nor that this would kot happen with any other pre-built bought. Otherwise the PC is functioning and looks actually surprsingly cooler than on the picture. Also the picture i shared showing the broken clip is not the best pic as the bestbuy app doesnt take nice pics - however you can still see enough to understand the clip is off and stuck.

Great deep bass from a soundbar subwoofer
on July 31, 2021
Posted by: Helping
Verified Purchase:Yes
This subwoofer is on the level of JBL 9.1, samsung q90r, and klipsch cinema soundbars.
It is a great quality sub which i feel hits nice and smooth.
Comparing to samsung soundbars, sonos hits deeper and has more “feel” and texture to the bass rather than just boomy or only “hearing” the bass like samsung does.
Jbl 9.1 comparison - the jbl is on par with the sonos for sure. They both hit deep, and you can “feel” the bass. However, the JBL sub is more wooly sounding, and not as consistent. It loses focus more often, so you just hear messy, sloppy bass at times and it can over-power the sound of the movie and show. Sonos is much tighter and cleaner.
Klipsch subs hit deep but require tuning (if youre i to that) in order to blend well with the system. Once dialed in klipsch sounds great - however it to can over-power the sound of the movie or show your watching which poses an issue.
Sonos did a great job with this sub and i am happy to own it.

Not as good as it should be for the price.
By Skaarj
I purchased the SA-SW5 along with the HT-A7000 sound bar and SA-RS5 speakers. Sadly the SA-SW5 is my least favorite part of the purchase. The sound bar and speakers are awesome. However the SA-SW5 subwoofer is underwhelming in my 15’X18’ room. I have a Sony SA-CS9 sub that cost half as much money but produces more deep couch vibrating and tight sound than the SA-SW5. Turning the sub volume up does not help and actually makes it worse causing some intermittent rattling. Too bad Sony doesn’t have a sub out jack on the HT-A7000 sound bar. I would expect a lot more from a sub with a MSRP price of $700.

How to setup separate subwoofer? Manual says put the cross-frequency to max on subwoofer - Does that seem right? I thought cross-frequency should be between 50-80hz and then calibrate?

How well does this handle regular 5.1 or 7.1 content? For example, does it have an up-mixing option to at least widen the soundstage with whatever content you watch or is it only with ATMOS and DTSX you get that WOW factor?

Is the delivery time/store pick up date accurate? Or are they delaying orders?

hahaha this is the greatest joke in history.

the answer is NO - 100% NO. my computer is already a day late and customer service via live chat and phone can't pin where the product is aside from "it shipped from warehouse". I was lucky enough to get that information, but of course NO delivery date on when to expect it.

It's asinine BestBuy limits the employees knowledge of their employees so they can only frustrate the customer even more. It's like it is on purpose. 'who knows where it is - you'll just have to sit back and wait. Oh well!"

BestBuy is pathetic, and a loser in the shipping world.

Arena 9 is a 5.1 gaming surround speaker system over a single USB connection with RGB lighting, composed of four speakers, a center channel speaker, and a 6.5" subwoofer.
 

please describe whatever wiring needs to be done in attaching this to your pc and getting it going?

i can tell you one thing - the surround speakers are tethered together by a wire: you plug one speaker into a wall, and the other speaker shares a wire that connects to that same speaker that is connected to the wall.

it makes placement more difficult.

Is there any wireless subwoofer comparing to Ambeo - Sennheiser instead of Wired Sub.

I dont believe there is a wireless sub to connect with the ambeo. You will need to buy a subwoofer cable and plug it into the soundbar and the other end to the sub.
