Haven’t had the chance to open yet but it seems to look nice.

This soundbar is better than you might think. I got it for a really good price by combining a sale and a new LG purchase here at Best Buy.
In particular, what this excels at is Dolby Atmos content. Therefore, if you pay for the high level of services like NetFlix, Max, or Apple that includes Dolby Atmos, you will be impressed by the soundstage, particularly the height of it, from the up-firing speakers. It can get pretty loud too. I saw a few reviews saying it is quiet. They must not have it setup right. I watched Last of Us with this bar, and it could get very loud in certain scenes.
Dialog / center channel is also particularly good too.
What is a little disappointing is watching older, regular 5.1 surround sound shows. The bar seems to down mix that to stereo, so it's just "ok," in those situations.
Dolby Atmos content - 4.0 to 4.5
All other content - Maybe 3.5
I used it for two months and decided to get a Arc Ultra, which was a big step up.
However, what I am still using is the TV bracket / stand that this SC9S came with. My new bar from the other manufacturer sits right on top of this stand / mount perfectly. The stand / mount is very nice with my C4 tv.
The other negative (and there are a lot of positives), but the rear speakers you could buy separately have been discontinued for quite some time. It might be better choosing a product that comes with rear speakers or that you know has rear speakers still available.

I am absolutely blown away by the LG Soundbar C! The sound quality is incredible, with crystal clear highs and deep, rumbling lows. The wireless subwoofer adds a whole new dimension to the sound, making it feel like I'm right in the middle of the action.
The Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support is amazing, creating a truly immersive experience that draws me in and refuses to let go. And with IMAX Enhanced, I feel like I'm getting a true cinematic experience in the comfort of my own home.
The setup was a breeze, and the sleek design looks great in my living room. I've received countless compliments from friends and family, and I can't recommend this soundbar enough.
Whether you're watching movies, playing games, or just listening to music, the LG Soundbar C is a game-changer. Don't hesitate - buy it now and experience the future of sound for yourself!

So ive been looking for a solution of trying to hide my hdmi 2.1 cables going from my TV to my old soundbar since I wanted to make sure I get the full atmos experience via the eARC hdmi connection. The HDMI cablw that I was using were too thick to run through the current 1 inch electrical conduit behind the walls. Luckily I stumble upon the LG Wowcast WTP3 adapter that you can plug into the LG C1 TV's hdmi eARC connection and connect to this soundbar wirelessly and yet still have full the full atmos experience. Overall great sound bar and wasy setup. Make sure you use the LG Soundbar App on your phone to allow yourself full configuration options. ALSO, I had purchased the Open Box Excelent Condition version and saved myself $400 from buying brand new. When I opened the box, everything was still wrapped up with all manuals and acessories and all brand new. I did noticed there was a very small micro dent on the top of the sound bar. No way a person can notice it unless they use a magnifying glass. Thus save yourseld some money an buy the open box with the geek squad 4 year equipment purchase add on.

Lee my sales rep was awesome. Soundbar was easy to set up and dialing it in with the app was simple. My only complaint is that the optional rear speaker kit is no longer available from LG. Do you need it? Not really. It’s more of a want. It is still a relevant soundbar so I removed a star. LG… do better! I would not reccomend this because LG falsely advertises that a rear speaker kit can be added. Best Buy was great though!

The LG C Series (SC9S) soundbar with wireless subwoofer is a sleek and powerful 3.1.3-channel audio system designed to pair seamlessly with LG’s C-series OLED TVs. It delivers clear dialogue, strong bass, and immersive Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, making it a great upgrade for everyday TV watching, gaming, and movie nights. The wireless subwoofer adds satisfying low-end depth, while HDMI 2.1 passthrough, VRR, and ALLM support make it ideal for gamers seeking minimal lag and smooth performance. Its “WOW Orchestra” feature and included mounting bracket enhance synergy with LG TVs, offering both visual and functional integration. However, it lacks dedicated rear or side-firing speakers, so the surround experience isn’t as expansive as some rivals like Sony or Samsung systems. Out of the box, it sounds balanced but can benefit from fine-tuning through LG’s app. Overall, the LG C Series soundbar offers excellent clarity, deep bass, and strong connectivity, especially for LG TV owners, though serious home-theatre enthusiasts may crave more immersive surround options.

Good, but I'd expect a little more for the price. I bought two of these mid November so they were on a pretty good sale, but I still expect more. They include 2 different types of mounts for LG TV's, which I'd assume is included in the price as well.
Pros:
Easy to install, gets loud, easy to use
Cons:
I'm not ware of how they can be paired for multi-room connection.
Sound controls seem off, so regularly increasing and decreasing the volume at different times in a show or movie.
Lots of presses of the button to increase and decrease volume.
One of the units would drop bluetooth connection every 15 minutes. Best Buy would not ship me a replacement without first returning the defective unit.......so when I returned it, I tried a different brand and it was overall better (Sono Beam Gen 2) and much smaller.
If you are using an LG OLED TV, this may be perfect for you. If not, I'd suggest looking elsewhere for more bang for your buck.

Great audio quality. Was upgrading from older Samsung model and this was definitely a great decision. Easy to set up and as it essentially sets up iteslf for best sound quality. I love the option to adjust settings in the app. Using on a Samsung tv and works seamlessly. Only con is that it is pretty large so if you arent using the bracket it comes with which only works on slect LG tvs you have to have a good space for it to go especially since you can’t have the top covered as it has top firing speakers.

Overall, this soundbar is pretty great, mainly use it to listen to music so I know im not using it to its full potential but man, this soundbar and sub is pretty dang good. Owning it for a few weeks and I find myself amazed by it every time. Definitely a good soundbar, though I do feel like some tweaks can be made about the subwoofer as at times it does seem either underpowered (somewhat up close) or perfect (at a distance)

Connectivity is super simple especially with my C4, sound quality is great, I would just recommend using the app to boost some of the levels, as dialogue isn't always the clearest, however the sound is very clear still and expansive, and the subwoofer packs a punch without sounding muddy, quite precise, at least in comparison with my Soundbar from 2016. Biggest downside is the lack of screen so it's difficult to know what your settings are and how they're changing, but once you dial them in it works great.

Paris perfect with my new LG 77-in OLED. I thought I was going to need to add more speakers but the technology it uses allows the soundbar itself to act as surround. It goes through a setup when you first connect it and you put where it is located in the room and where the TV is located from the sound bar itself and magic happens. Now I don't need to buy any more speakers to put in the living room for that rich sound quality with the perfect amount of bass, its a 100% must have to go with the outstanding LG OLED picture quality, totally worth it! Btw The LG while orchestra setting is out of this world.

LG SOUND BAR performs very well. This LG-3.1.3 is great whether we are listening to movies or music. I would recommend the LG sound with with any new LG TV.

Great mid-range performance for the price (bought it discounted). I've got it mounted to the bottom of a 77" C5 in a relatively small living room, so it's enough. Dolby Atmos is surprisingly clever at simulating surround sound. My only complaint is the upper range of volume isn't noticeable sometimes. Can't tell much of a difference from 60%+. The easy sync with the LG C5 TV is super convenient though!

Easy set up and like that i don't have to hook up rear spekers. I was concerned at first about no rear spekers but the way it pushes the rear sound up top to the rear of the room works fine.
