Amazon dropped the price on the JBL Bar 700MK2 Soundbar System down to $549.95 — a 39% discount off its $899.95 list price. That cuts $350 off the retail cost and marks the absolute best price ever for this heavy-hitting home theater setup.

The coolest feature of this soundbar is its detachable, battery-powered rear speakers. When you want full surround sound for movies or sports, you simply lift the end caps off the main bar and place them behind your couch. There are no speaker wires to string across your floor and no extra wall outlets needed. Once you're done watching, you snap them back onto the main unit to recharge automatically for your next viewing session.

Built-in Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X bounce sound off your walls and ceiling to simulate overhead audio, while wide-dispersion tech spreads the sound evenly across the room so everyone on the couch gets a great seat.

To keep quiet conversations from getting buried during loud action scenes, the built-in voice-enhancement tech analyzes scene volume on the fly to keep speech crisp and easy to hear. When the TV is off, the system works as a standalone home speaker with built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, making it easy to stream music or podcasts straight from your phone or laptop.
