LG - 2.1-Channel Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer - Black

I won a Vizio 65 inch 4k tv at my works Christmas party. I wanted something to compliment the tv. I looked at other Vizio sound bars. However I have always been a big LG fan when it comes to Tv's and Audio. Listening to the Vizio sound bars and they just did not sound right. I had a friend who I recommended an LG sound bar 5 years ago. That thing sounded awesome and filled the room with vibrant sound and bass. I did not hesitate and purchased this one without listening to it. Did not have a choice as the Best Buy did not have it up to listen to. This one exceeds my expectations. Great rich sound for music and Movies. I can control the volume from my Vizio remote control. When watching movies I have it set in cinema mode with the sub woofer turned down to about -5. Also have ASC turned on. It still has lots of bass but not overly powerful when the movie gets louder due to action scenes or music. Playing video games. It sounds amazing when playing Titan Fall 2. I feel Like I am in the battle.The looks of this product is nice. Metal grill. The remote is very basic but it is what I expected. Has the bare minimum in settings control. I like the night feature so that it turns down the bass. Bluetooth works very well. I can control my phone from over 25 feet away including through walls. The bluetooth Sub is pretty nice. However I have noticed when played at higher volumes it starts to rattle a bit. Not as good as my wired Yamaha sub. Other than that I highly recommend.

I just bought an LG - 49" Class (48.5" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HDTV - Black, and to my knowledge, that's all I needed, and that's all the money that I was prepared to spend. However, when I spoke with the sales rep that helped me purchase my TV, I asked him how the built in speaker system sounded and what to expect. He mentioned that the built in speakers do not create the greatest viewing experience, although LG TVs have some of the better built-in speakers. I decided to purchase this sound bar in addition to my TV, and thank god I did. It feels like I'm sitting in a movie theatre, especially when I keep the settings on Cinema mode. This bar is so powerful that I only need to keep the volume between 10-15 to be completely satisfied. Any higher and it's too loud for me. But I've never experienced anything like this in my home theatre. And for the price, it's an absolute steal. I highly recommend this product. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

I bought this soundbar to replace a not very good more expensive Sony soundbar which I returned. This LG one fits my needs perfectly, I'm really happy with the sound I'm getting from my Insignia Roku 4k television that it's hooked up too. The only drawback is that the HDMI ARC does not hook up automatically, my work around (which I found on the internet) is to hook soundbar up to both HDMI ARC and optical and then change to ARC via the source button on the bar remote. Other than that my television remote can turn on, off, and volume. Really doesn't seem to be any difference between sound quality from ARC and optical to tell the truth. I have mine attached under the television which is on a swivel mount on the wall. I would recommend this soundbar absolutely.

I bought this because it seemed the best value. The manual is poor. Typical. I hooked up everything and no sound. Connected by HDMI ARC port on TV and ARC HDMI on soundbar with 'HDMI hi speed cable with ethernet' and both ARC and CEC are turned on on TV. I see the soundbar is set to OPT. It is not recognizing the ARC connection. I manually change it and goes to ARC -but no sound. After 30 secs, as I'm reading the manual, -sound suddenly comes out. And that's the F(()#@ Sh*^&*%y way this thing remains. Takes it 30 secs to a minute to finally bring up sound EVERY TIME we turn the TV on (TV is excellent Insignia 55" 4 k model). This soundbar is a piece of sh8%$t! Tried swapping cables, adjusting settings -no change. Going back today. Never buying LG again. Oh and the soundbar holes are on the freaking BOTTOM so you have to buy a special bracket to mount it to the TV or a shelf. Support was utterly useless sending me the manual as 'help'. Gee thanks. LG stands for Lousy Garbage.

Okay to be fair I did read the reviews before going into the store, but I forgot which was which before I knew it. The Arc HDMI was not recognized on my brand new insignia tv (which also has ARC hdmi)....that was the first bummer. Second bummer is that my IPOD would not be read by the soundbar from the USB port.....read ERROR (both ipod and cord are surely good) The sound is nice and crisp, I like it. But the features were not up to par. I will be returning for, likely a samsung or sony. I think this unit would work great for people only watching tv. Subwoofer hookup was a breeze. Might want to get a universal remote for both tv and soundbar as well (unless a samsung tv hooks up better than the Insignia tv which is definately a possibility.) Optical Audio works well I hope this helps someone.

I did a bit of reviewing sounds bars before making my purchase. My requirements were had to be cheap, have a wireless sub, and have good reviews. This bar meets all these requirements and more. Here is what I like: inexpensive (this was one of the cheapest new bars I could find), brand (everyone knows LG and its reputation), everything in the box (this comes with wall mounts, digital optical cord), sound scenes (you can chose 3 different), and mentioned above wireless sub and great reviews (you can count mine as one more). What I don't like; in cinema mode it can be hard to hear words without turning up the volume a bit, and remember this is still only a 2.1 channel speakers.

I generally don't like or buy LG products, but I needed a soundbar and sub on a tight budget for a basement den. After hooking it all up, I hated the sound. So I went to my TV EQ setting and found there was none. That was a surprise. I found an EQ setting on the LG soundbar that really made it come to life. I got it to sound very acceptable for my purposes. Understand I have a Klipsch 5.1 system in my main room, so I was pretty critical of this inexpensive LG system. It works great in my den. It also, without any programming, recognized my TV remote on/off commands and works perfectly with the TV remote volume control. I am using the optical out on my TV and in on the LG. Piece of cake to set up. The sub isn't going to shake the windows, but it does have a good deep bottom and nicely defined highs.

This soundbar has great value for the price. I think that this price range is the area of the maximum value for what it costs otherwise you start seeing some diminishing returns. The SB is intelligent and turns on when the TV turns on (optical only.) make sure that your TV has optical out before you purchase, otherwise you will be using Analog sound and you lose a bit of quality for it. T This SB also can connect to devices with Bluetooth, the most usual application probably being a phone. The range is not great (I'm talking 15 feet or less) before it starts becoming choppy. This however is a limitation of Bluetooth and not the product. I'd recommend this product. It's really enhanced my movie and gaming experience.
