Our Verdict

Bose Smart Soundbar 900 with Speakers + Bass Module

JBL Bar 1000

The Bose Smart Soundbar 900 with Speakers + Bass Module and the JBL Bar 1000 are both very premium soundbars, and you may prefer one over the other. The Bose is better built with built-in voice assistant support, though its satellites aren't truly wireless like the JBL's. It has a better stereo soundstage performance, too. Even though it comes with two fewer surround channels and two fewer up-firing drivers, the Bose still does well with surround content. However, it doesn't have Full HDMI In ports like the JBL and doesn't support DTS content, either.
