Overview

This is a JBL Bar 500 MK2 soundbar bundle that includes a 3-year warranty plan, delivering 5.1 channel sound with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity in a black tabletop unit. It measures 4.1 x 37 x 2 inches and weighs 6.5 pounds.

The model code's WRTY3 suffix points to a bundled 3-year warranty sold alongside the standard JBL Bar 500 MK2, so the soundbar hardware itself matches the non-bundle version with added coverage layered on top. JBL's Bar 500 MK2 line is known for detachable rear speakers that can run wirelessly for a genuine surround setup, though this listing's dimensions and weight describe the main bar unit.

A 5.1 channel soundbar with detachable surrounds, as the Bar 500 MK2 line is known for, is designed to split into a front bar and rear wireless speakers for a more enveloping sound field than a single bar alone, with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi covering both streaming and multi-room setups.
