It is a soundbar. Just not a good one.
ShaneC Posted 8 months ago
Sound is okay, a slight upgrade from the tv speakers. Really no difference between the modes and sub woofer is VERY weak. It always has issue connecting when turning on often have to turn it off and on again. Always starts with sound off, you have to turn the volume up when starting. Overall, unless you only have 250 bucks to spend get something better. LG has been going downhill.

Very disappointing. Volume not good. Have to use an app to adjust the base, etc. Tried the app on my phone but it didn’t work. Will see if I can get it on my TV. My old lg soundbar was much better. I think this model has been discontinued anyway so not an issue. Should have returned it but getting it back in the box is not easy.

Hi, William. Thank you for reaching out regarding your LG Soundbar (S40T) model.

We understand the importance of having audio equipment that delivers crisp, clear sound, especially when clarity and speech intelligibility are essential for your listening needs. To help improve clarity, (1) one helpful step is to switch the sound mode to Clear Voice or AI Sound Pro, which enhances dialogue and raises vocal frequencies. (2) You can also adjust the Treble level in the sound settings to bring out sharper detail that may be easier to hear. For more guidance, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e1WaU6GWEc. If you’d like us to take a closer look at your setup or explore settings that may better support your hearing needs, please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. We're here for you! ^Juvy <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/stratos-logos/logos/LG.png" alt="LG" title="LG" style="display: block !important; margin-top: 2em !important; border: 1px solid #ccc !important; padding: 2px !important; background-color: white !important;" />

Hi, there. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with the LG Soundbar (S40T) model. We understand the importance of having a unit that perfectly fits your home setup and mounting requirements. While this unit is designed primarily for tabletop use, you can often optimize the audio experience by ensuring the unit is placed on a flat, level surface with at least a few inches of clearance from the wall to allow the speakers to project sound effectively. For more guidance, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-S40T.DUSALLK. If you’d like us to take a closer look at your experience or help confirm mounting compatibility for your next unit, please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com.

Hi, James. Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand the importance of having your LG S40T soundbar deliver clear and powerful audio.

To improve the sound quality, please try performing a reset by pressing and holding the Volume Down (-) and Sound Effect buttons on the remote control simultaneously for about 5 seconds until you see the reset message. After the reset, reconnect your soundbar and select the Sound Effect mode (such as Standard or Cinema) to test if audio improves. For more guidance, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeSDeTZbKnk. If the issue continues after these steps, kindly send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com so we can assist you further. ^Juvy <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/stratos-logos/logos/LG.png" alt="LG" title="LG" style="display: block !important; margin-top: 2em !important; border: 1px solid #ccc !important; padding: 2px !important; background-color: white !important;" />

Not great for movies. Okay for music.
Name Posted 1 year ago
Pretty disappointed with it. It sounds ok if you’re listening to music loudly. If you’re watching a movie the dialogue will be very low followed by very loud sound effects. It doesn’t come with mounting brackets like every other soundbar I’ve purchased. It doesn’t even have the holes for attaching the mounting brackets. The price is low but I’ve had better for around the same price from lg and other brands.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your situation and how important it is for the S40T Soundbar and its wireless subwoofer to work together seamlessly.

To troubleshoot the issue with the subwoofer, here are a few steps you can try:

Ensure Proximity: Make sure the subwoofer is within 15 feet of the soundbar for optimal connectivity.

Power Cycle: Turn off both the soundbar and subwoofer, then power them back on. The subwoofer should automatically pair with the soundbar when powered on.

Re-pair the Subwoofer: If the subwoofer does not pair automatically, try manually pairing it by following the steps in the LG Sound Bar Subwoofer Troubleshooting Guide.

Very Disappointed!

MarilynM Posted 8 months ago

Very disappointing. Volume not good. Have to use an app to adjust the base, etc. Tried the app on my phone but it didn’t work. Will see if I can get it on my TV. My old lg soundbar was much better. I think this model has been discontinued anyway so not an issue. Should have returned it but getting it back in the box is not easy.

LG soundbar

WilliamrS Posted 1 month ago

The sound bar is really not satisfactory. It's loud enough but the sound is not crisp and clear. I'm hearing impaired and it does not help me. Not a good purchase.

Hi, William. Thank you for reaching out regarding your LG Soundbar (S40T) model.

We understand the importance of having audio equipment that delivers crisp, clear sound, especially when clarity and speech intelligibility are essential for your listening needs. To help improve clarity, (1) one helpful step is to switch the sound mode to Clear Voice or AI Sound Pro, which enhances dialogue and raises vocal frequencies. (2) You can also adjust the Treble level in the sound settings to bring out sharper detail that may be easier to hear. For more guidance, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e1WaU6GWEc. If you’d like us to take a closer look at your setup or explore settings that may better support your hearing needs, please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. We're here for you! ^Juvy <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/stratos-logos/logos/LG.png" alt="LG" title="LG" style="display: block !important; margin-top: 2em !important; border: 1px solid #ccc !important; padding: 2px !important; background-color: white !important;" />

Hi, there. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with the LG Soundbar (S40T) model. We understand the importance of having a unit that perfectly fits your home setup and mounting requirements. While this unit is designed primarily for tabletop use, you can often optimize the audio experience by ensuring the unit is placed on a flat, level surface with at least a few inches of clearance from the wall to allow the speakers to project sound effectively. For more guidance, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-S40T.DUSALLK. If you’d like us to take a closer look at your experience or help confirm mounting compatibility for your next unit, please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com.

Poor sound

JamesM Posted 5 months ago

Sound quality was extremely poor, I tried all the different settings. It sounds like a transitor radio with volume.

Posted 5 months ago

Hi, James. Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand the importance of having your LG S40T soundbar deliver clear and powerful audio.

To improve the sound quality, please try performing a reset by pressing and holding the Volume Down (-) and Sound Effect buttons on the remote control simultaneously for about 5 seconds until you see the reset message. After the reset, reconnect your soundbar and select the Sound Effect mode (such as Standard or Cinema) to test if audio improves. For more guidance, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeSDeTZbKnk. If the issue continues after these steps, kindly send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com so we can assist you further. ^Juvy <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/stratos-logos/logos/LG.png" alt="LG" title="LG" style="display: block !important; margin-top: 2em !important; border: 1px solid #ccc !important; padding: 2px !important; background-color: white !important;" />

Not great for movies. Okay for music.

Name Posted 1 year ago

Pretty disappointed with it. It sounds ok if you’re listening to music loudly. If you’re watching a movie the dialogue will be very low followed by very loud sound effects. It doesn’t come with mounting brackets like every other soundbar I’ve purchased. It doesn’t even have the holes for attaching the mounting brackets. The price is low but I’ve had better for around the same price from lg and other brands.

Hi, there. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your concern about the sound on your LG Soundbar (S40T) model doesn’t deliver the consistent audio quality you expect, especially with low dialogue and loud sound effects during movie watching. We strive to provide reliable, high-quality products that exceed our customer's needs and expectations.

We recommend adjusting the sound settings on the soundbar, such as the dialogue or voice enhancement modes, which can help balance the audio. Additionally, if you’re using any external devices, checking their audio settings might also improve the overall experience.

Regarding the mounting brackets, while this unit doesn’t come with mounting brackets, we suggest checking for compatible wall mounts that can work with the unit. Please reach out to us via private message on social media @LGUSSupport, and we can assist further.

We’re here to help ensure you have the best experience possible with your soundbar. ^Juvy <img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/stratos-logos/logos/LG.png" alt="LG" title="LG" style="display: block !important; margin-top: 2em !important; border: 1px solid #ccc !important; padding: 2px !important; background-color: white !important;" />

Woofer doesn’t work

ShreyasM Posted 1 year ago

Soundbar is fine but the subwoofer despite being connected doesn’t work

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your situation and how important it is for the S40T Soundbar and its wireless subwoofer to work together seamlessly.

To troubleshoot the issue with the subwoofer, here are a few steps you can try:

Ensure Proximity: Make sure the subwoofer is within 15 feet of the soundbar for optimal connectivity.

Power Cycle: Turn off both the soundbar and subwoofer, then power them back on. The subwoofer should automatically pair with the soundbar when powered on.

Re-pair the Subwoofer: If the subwoofer does not pair automatically, try manually pairing it by following the steps in the LG Sound Bar Subwoofer Troubleshooting Guide.
