Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • If there no electrical outlet nearby, get a JBL 1300x instead of Q990d so you can use its wireless rear speakers when you want surround sound.
  • JBL 1300x will kick any Sonos ass.
  • There’s a 1300X that’s good but the MK2 steps it up and imo sounds better than the Q990F but it’s $300 more.
  • I currently have the 1300X and love it, especially if you’re a bass lover.
  • JBL 1300x is almost 50% off as of last week. Pretty solid deal tbh.

Cons

  • Latest jbl might not be better than jbl 1300x due to its smaller size subwoofers.
  • Long story short, I am returning the JBL 1300x I just bought. I’ve watched every video and tried every troubleshooting. HDMIs, PCM, smart off, calibrating over and over, etc etc
  • I used 1300x. Annoying Bass. No immersive surround.
  • Jbl 1300x is bass heavy midrange and tweeters are underperforming imo
  • I wanted the JBL 1300x , but apparently it’s good for music but not movies.
