I can MOSTLY recommend this soundbar. Your experience may be smoother than mine, but there are a few caveats to know about first. This comes with an optical cable. If you want to use eARC you will need to supply your own HDMI cable. Also, this soundbar does not sit completely flush under the TV stand. I have an LG B5 and the light sensor for the remote comes down too far. Since I have this on a stand, it's not the biggest deal, but it would be nice if it fit neatly under the table. Setup is very easy since I paired it with an LG TV. It recognizes it immediately. However, the TV remote only half works for controlling it. I can adjust volume and even turn the TV/soundbar off. However, when turning the TV back on, the soundbar does not come back on. I've tried everything possible, even reaching out to LG support. Unfortunately, they were no help. This may be updated in a future software update as others have mentioned this issue going away with subsequent updates. I did make sure to update both the TV and soundbar, as well as try a different HDMI cord. While it is very annoying, there are multiple ways to turn the bar on. It just requires an extra button push. I'd say if this is going to be in a living room or on your main TV, you may want to get a step up in soundbars to see if that alleviates the issue. Outside of that, I am quite happy with sound quality. For the price I paid, this thing puts out some serious bass. You will need to install the LG ThinQ app in order to adjust the subwoofer. Once you do that, get ready to shake the house. I have this in my office and it gets plenty loud. For the $100 sale price, it was an easy recommendation. At regular price, you may want to try a step up. Overall, I can mostly recommend this soundbar. It has a few quirks that I hope are fixed with future patches. However, it functions otherwise how I expected.

Works well with 65" LG tv. Remote is small and minor, you have to use the app to really adjust sound qualities. Setup was quite simple.

I like these speakers, as they've been a big upgrade over using my TV speakers but they constantly disconnect for no reason and it's always annoying. Outside of that, they're very nice to have, great quality and get pretty loud which is nice

Won't blow you away, but better than the TV speakers and bass response is decent. Just a simple plug-n-play setup via bluetooth, and also makes a good footstool for kids.

everything fine, but when i bought open box item, it comes without adapter… sad.

Woofer needs more power, over all everything sounds good

Good for your price. It is not made to be mounted to the TV or wall. I was able to just sit it on brackets so it looks as though it’s on the bottom of the TV.

For the price, it is a great center channel and sub. My only critique is there is not a digital display of settings for the speaker at all. So you almost have to guess when changing settings. Other than that it is great

Definitely better than standard TV audio, but nothing like the higher end soundbars. The wireless sub connects easily and using an ArcHDMI connection to the TV ties it right in to the TV audio. There doesn’t appear to be any sound equalizer to adjust sound.

I use this for movies, but sometimes I still have to turn it up and down for the volume of the movie for music. The sound qualities is really good too.

It works well for a TV setup in a bedroom, it can't replace a sound system for a family room TV setup where 5.1 sound systems would be better suited but is just fine for a smaller setup. The interaction between the remote and the sound bar can be interesting because there are only a few LEDs showing what is happening. I still haven't figured out when I am adjusting the Sub volume vs the Soundbar volume. The initial setup for the sub was a little confusing to get started and to know that it worked but I was probably just overthinking it as it seemed to connect just fine in the end. Overall, it is a good product for the money and will work well for smaller setups.

Overall this soundbar is pretty great. We have had it just under a year. At first we had some trouble with it disconnecting but I think it’s because we bought a universal remote and it wasn’t paired correctly. We haven’t had any issues since. The sound is great and it’s very simple to use.

Works very well. Big improvement over the TV alone. I'm in my 60's and sometimes had difficulty understanding dialogue (especially the British accents). Much better now. Music is much better too. This is not surround sound; don't expect it to be. I gave four stars because it said (somewhere, perhaps not on the Best Buy description) that if I have a LG TV I would not need to use the separate remote for the sound bar. NOT TRUE. I dislike using two remotes, one for the TV and one for the sound bar. DOES come with a audio optical cable (didn't say so in the description that I saw).

The LG S40T is a good 2.1 channel soundbar with subwoofer. I had an older Sony that I had purchased on open box clearance years ago that didn't produce as crisp of highs and not near the bass I wanted. It also didn't have ARC HDMI input capabilities. This does everything that didn't. The highs are nice and crisp, the bass is deep and strong. The app is a little wonky, but not enough to not recommend this soundbar. Setting up was a pain, but not because of LG's fault or the HiSense TV's fault, rather the HDMI cable I was using was old and likely cheap. I got a new HDMI from Monoprice and all problems with ARC audio went away. You can control the volume and power with the HiSense remote, all other settings on the app or on the remote that comes with it. There are likely better soundbars that are 5.1 or 7.1 at a much higher price point, but I wanted 2.1 because my wife wouldn't want the satellite speakers around the living room. If you're in the market for a decent priced 2.1 soundbar and subwoofer combo then this is the way to go.

Good sound quality but no display for level which is a little weird

Would be 5 stars but subwoofer has a faint beeping sound when in standby mode. Wouldve been an issue if i hadnt had a wifi plug around to turn the sub on and off with my phone. However sound quality is great for price

Easy to set up especially with my new LG tv. Takes the buzz out of the tv speaker.

This packs a decent punch for the price point. I have had this for several years and was so happy it came back to Best Buy when I needed a replacement due to a power surge issue. It also works in syncs with my LG tv and adjust the Roku remote once initial pairing is done.

Bought it so I could use the hdmi arc feature and it works and sounds great. Enough bass to let you know its there but if your looking for a lot of base you'll need to find something with a bigger sub.

Second Lg soundbar purchased , gives a quality sound with clarity and a nice boost of bass for movies and sports, will purchase again
