LG - 5.1.2 Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X - Black

For $330 I say I got a great deal. The sound is crisp and clear. The rear speakers sound clear as well. I’m replacing a Sony ST5000 which cost me $1500. I can’t believe this $300+ LG sound bar sounds so much better! I couldn’t stand my Sony constantly losing signal to the sub woofer every 2-5 minutes. Plus the sound wasn’t that great, it was either too loud or too low. This LG is amazing! Also, setup was seamless since I do own an LG OLED tv.

I purchased the S75QR which comes with the soundbar, subwoofer, reciever & two rear speakers. Sanus speaker stands i bought seperate at BestBuy. The sound is amazing! Especially for a smaller space. The instructions were not great. Very vague and not helpfull for those that are not great at that kind of thing. Everything was very nicely packed and organized making it verry easy to tell what pieces went with what. After getting everything laid out you will have a short power wire which plugs into the power converter box leading to the soundbar, a longer power wire for the sub, an HDMI cable to plug into the tv(E-Arc HDMI Port) and the soundbar(TV OUT), power cord for the reciever, and two speaker wires that you will need to plug into each rear speaker then into the reciever. The sub and reciever work remote from the sounbar. The sounbar is the only item pluged into the tv. The blue taped speaker wire goes from the receiver to the rear left speaker and the grey taped speaker wire goes from the reciever to the rear right speaker. Make sure the lead with the black stripe goes into the negative or black port on the rear speaker and the reciever. The speaker wire is clear but one side has a black stripe. You will want to plug in the subwoofer first, then the reciever once the rear speakers are hooked up to it, and then the sounbar after the HDMI cable is plugged in. Your tv should automatically sync with the sounbar if you have a newer LG tv. The rear speakers dont automatically sync up. You will need to use the soundbar remote and hit the settings button. Press to the right once and it should say “Off-Surround”, click up to turn that on. If the speakers are still not working you may need to go into your tv’s audio settings and turn on the E-Arc option. These instructions are for someone with a newer LG TV and the S75QR soundbar with rear speakers using HDMI into the E-Arc hdmi port on the tv (HDMI Port #3).

This LG Soundbar was bought as an "Excellent Condition" Open box item from Best Buy. When you look up what the details are of an Excellent Condition open box unit, you see this: What might be missing: Original packaging, owner’s manual, and manufacturer registration. Note how it doesn't say that there won't be ANY packing materials at all. But, for my order, they just put the 5 items you see in the sample image directly into the large OEM box, and shipped everything loose, to flop and bounce around against each other while FedEx delivers the package to you. So, what was once described as "Excellent Condition" arrived scratched, damaged, and torn. Wonderful. Thank you Best Buy employee with no brains at all. I take it your location doesn't have any bubble wrap and tape so that you could have put the bare minimum amount of effort into protecting the product that the customer was expecting to arrive in Excellent Condition? I also didn't receive the remote control, the mounting brackets, or the HDMI cable that was supposed to come with the unit. As for the product, I was amazed that it actually still works after being bounced around loose in a box FROM POMPANO BEACH FLORIDA TO DENVER COLORADO. I bought the LG S75QR Soundbar to upgrade from my LG SL4Y soundbar that I bought 2 years ago. Going from a 2.1 Soundbar to a 5.1.2 soundbar is a very nice upgrade. Very quick installation and setup for me. All I had to do was unplug the power plug and Optical Cord from the back of the SL4Y, and plug them into the L75Q Soundbar. Then unplug the SL4Y's subwoofer and then plug in the S75QR's subwoofer. Once that was done, I then I turned on the tv, and that was it. They powered up, synched up with the tv, and everything was golden. The product itself is great. Best Buy's open box delivery is a travesty, and is just unthinkable. I just can't believe they put the items loose into the box, taped the box closed, and shipped it cross country without a second thought, not to mention the missing remote control, hdmi cable, and mounting brackets.

Overall, sound is great with this system. I'm using this with an LG OLED 65" 4K TV (OLED65B2PUA). You'll need to buy an HDMI eARC cable for full Dolby capability. Rear speakers are not wireless. Pros: Sound is great, wireless sub definitely thickens up the sound nicely. Pretty easy setup. One remote for both TV and volume (mine are both LG...not sure otherwise). Cons: The system comes with an HDMI cable, but NOT an eARC HDMI cable...come on LG. Also, I had to turn on the eARC option in the TV settings...this should happen automagically if connected with eARC cable in my opinion (more of a TV thing rather than a soundbar issue, but...). Also note that the two little rear speakers are NOT wireless, which is quite misleading as they make it hard to find this info and the product pics do NOT show these wires (yeah, I understand the description only says wireless subwoofer). The box in the pic between the two little rears is a wireless receiver (about 2" high and 5x5" square, so not tiny) that does connect wirelessly to the main soundbar, but the two rear speakers are then connected to this rear receiver via speaker wires (included in the box). So you'll need to get creative on locating/hiding speaker wires and the rear receiver. I have the receiver under my couch (still stays connected to soundbar), and the two speakers are on bookshelves/stands at the corners of the L-shaped couch with the wires behind/under the couch. Works fine and sounds great. Of course, soundbar, sub, and rear receiver all also need power outlets near them (rear speakers don't need power, they get it from the receiver). Pic shows my speaker locations and the arrow is pointing to the receiver under the couch.

I really loved sounds perfect and when a move the speakers on the side they are wireless and I just seat it in different a places and I feel like if I am in the movie theater

Excellent sound quality set up was super easy the sound that comes from the speakers when watching TV is elevated to another level. Music is streamed seamlessly through the Bluetooth feature which is nice and feels the room with great quality sound. The satellites speakers add an additional touch And crispness to watching movies and regular TV shows. You’re treated to sounds you normally would not hear when watching or listening to the regular TV speakers. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase. It was a great price and value, and it has filled the room with better sound Watching TV and movies. I would highly recommend you visit your local Best Buy store and pick one up for yourself as it will take movie night to a whole new level.

Couldn’t have gone with a better option! I searched for a while because I needed more sound to be more loud and my Samsung that I had wasn’t doing it so when this came on sale I purchased it in a heart beat. The crispy news of the sound is amazing and let me tell you the subwoofer you will definitely feel it!! So if you’re looking for something mid range and not spend a lot a lot then this right here will have you very Happy! And no im not just saying this i am saying this because I own lots of speakers ( professional speakers) that I have had connected to my tv hehe so I know what good sound is! I hope this helps anybody that is debating on what to get mid range.

I just exchanged the Vizio M51AX-J6 for this at the same exact price ($300) because the Vizio didn’t sound that good, and this LG has exponentially better sound quality. The subwoofer gives deep, clean bass and the overall sound is crisp. The rear satellites give impressive surround sound for the price point, and I like how the satellites use classic speaker cables, which were thin enough to thread through the tubes of the Insignia mounts. The instruction manual was a joke, as are all LG manuals. It only had one page of content related to the installation and the picture was so small and jumbled it was hard to make any sense of. Thankfully, I’ve had a bit of experience with installing sound systems, so I just followed my instincts, but I could see this being a little more difficult for the uninitiated. My only real gripe is that when connected to my LG 70UM6970PUA TV via HDMI ARC, the sound occasionally switches back-and-forth with the internal TV speakers while watching TV. This is obviously very annoying, so I switched to an optical cable instead which fixed the problem and the sound quality didn’t appear to take a hit. My TV isn’t compatible with Dolby Atmos anyway, so I’m not sure if the cables really mattered. I don’t think this was an issue with the sound bar, however, as it was doing it on the Vizio too.
