Great sounding addition but...
Soundbar and sub sounds fantastic and has a ton of boom. Easy to setup and works well with my tv and other pieces. However the sub is constantly disconnecting and going in and out. Looked it up online and it seems to be an issue with lots of buyers in this lineup. If it wasn’t for that, this would be a perfect score. After this pandemic is over, I will contact LG to see what can be done. I’ve had this soundbar for about a month. I currently use LG TV’s and am looking to upgrade. This makes me hesitant at the moment.

Great product for the price
For the price I got it for its more than what I needed and its a great match for my LG TV. The quality and subwoofer is definitely better than I expected and the ASC option does a good job.

Good enough soundbar, bass is great.
LG soundbar sounds pretty awesome! Subwoofer is def not the strongest but overall I'm happy with this purchase.

Full Featured and Simple!
The LG SL5Y 2.1 Channel Soundbar with Bluetooth wireless Subwoofer is full-featured yet simple external sound enhancement for any TV configuration. The device provides both optical and HDMI connections for TV and any console or HDMI streaming device. The included 220 Watt Subwoofer connects seamlessly via a Bluetooth 4.2 wireless connection and provides a Base Blast setting for bringing out the beats of any music, enhancing the sound effects of movies, and giving clear distinction to dialogue. With the DTS Virtual: X Digital Surround sound, this front facing Soundbar does a fantastic job of filling the room. A USB connection on the Soundbar provides the ability to add a card with music files. Setup This was the most simple soundbar setup and configuration I have ever encountered. The Soundbar connected to our TV via the included digital optical cable and a power cord. The Subwoofer connected with a single power cord. Once the system powered up, the Subwoofer automatically connected to the Soundbar via Bluetooth without requiring any additional configuration. There is a Bluetooth pairing button on the back of the subwoofer speaker if paring is needed. With unboxing and setup, we were up and running within ten minutes. Sound and Settings The LG Soundbar delivers 90W of sound with two front-facing speakers, and the Subwoofer delivers 220W wirelessly, which allows easy placement without any speaker wires. There are four different sound effect modes: • ASC - Adaptive Sound Control • Base Blast - Enhanced bass • Standard - Optimized • DTS Virtual: X - Immersive surround sound. For our room I found the DTS Virtual:X settting to be the most enjoyable for watching movies and listening to music. Even at the higher volumes, the Soundbar provided clear and crisp music without any distortion. External Bluetooth and HDMI Connections Another great feature about the LG Soundbar is the ability to use it as an external wireless speaker for Bluetooth enabled devices. I was able to play music from my iPhone and iPad after connecting to the Soundbar. Switching back to the TV is easy by using the "F" button on the remote control and cycling back to the Opt-TV for the digital optical connection. You can also connect a gaming console or HD device (DVD/Blueray) via the additional HDMI connection on the LG Soundbar. We are happy with the LG SL5Y Soundbar for providing a room full of music and entertainment. I highly recommend this for anyone seeking a quality front-facing soundbar.
