Posted .Hi, Luise. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG Soundbar (S70TR) model, and we understand the importance of having every part of your sound system performing the way you expect. To help get things working again, one helpful step you can try is re-pairing the subwoofer to the soundbar. Here’s a quick way to do that:
Ensure the soundbar is on.
Unplug the subwoofer for 10 seconds, then reconnect it.
The subwoofer should try to reconnect automatically. If not, press the PAIRING button on the back until the LED blinks, then wait for the soundbar to connect. For more guidance, visit https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/lg-sound-bar-why-isnt-my-subwoofer-connect-to-my-lg-sound-bar--1422391675816. We’d be glad to take a closer look at your unit.

Posted .Hi, Deb. Thanks for reaching out about your LG Soundbar (S70TR) model and the return process.
We totally get how you’re feeling about the whole “wireless” thing and the wait for your refund. While the soundbar does have a wireless connection with the subwoofer and rear speakers, they still need to be plugged into a power outlet.
As for your refund, we know it can get a bit tricky when a sound system is part of a TV purchase. We suggest giving Best Buy customer service a call at 888-237-8289 to check on your refund status. For a clearer picture of the return and refund timeline for LG purchases, take a look at our FAQ here: https://www.lg.com/us/shop-lg/shop-faq. If you need any more help, just shoot us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. We’re here for you. ^Juvy

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have to buy a soundbar with your TV then something is very wrong. Either it was too loud or not loud enough. This would probably be a great soundbar if you have a big living room with high ceilings.

Posted .Hi, Bassman. Thank you for reaching out to us about your LG Soundbar (S70TR) model. We appreciate your feedback and understand the importance of surround sound.
For your model, try re-pairing the subwoofer and rear speakers. Power on the soundbar and check the indicator lights; they should be solid when connected. If they blink, press and hold the Pairing button on the subwoofer or rear speaker until the light blinks rapidly, then wait for automatic reconnection. Keep the soundbar and speakers close to minimize interference.

Posted .Hi there. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG S70TR Soundbar. We understand your inquiry, and we’re glad to hear you found the setup easy and the voice clarity impressive. Regarding the bass and volume performance, please know that the S70TR includes a wireless subwoofer that should deliver deep, room-filling bass when properly positioned and paired. We recommend ensuring the subwoofer is within 33 feet of the soundbar with minimal obstruction and verifying that it’s connected with the correct sound mode enabled—such as Bass Blast+ or Cinema Mode—for optimal output.

Disappointing sound. Lacking quality features.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Low end LG surround system with awful controls and cumbersome menus. Very hard to set up. The surround is nice when you figure out how to adjust, but the system isn't powerful enough to give good bass and sound without sound distortion. It's like the speakers can't handle it being too loud. If your an audiophile, invest in a more powerful and feature rich system. I would not recommend this at all. Poor quality sound. Up firing speaker does not have a standard front speaker also. Sounds tinny. You get what you pay for. Stick with their premium brand or any other mid range brand to avoid distortion. This should be 199 considering the sound and lack of features.

Posted .Hi Aries.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Soundbar model S70TR. It’s good to hear that the surround sound feature meets your expectations once adjusted. For improved audio performance, ensure that all connections are secure and experiment with the sound settings to find the best configuration for your space.
If you find the bass and volume levels lacking, checking for any firmware updates or recalibrating the system might enhance the sound quality. For a more immersive experience, exploring LG’s premium sound systems could provide the advanced features and power you’re looking for.
For additional support or questions, please send us a private message on our social media platform via @LGUSSupport. Our team is here to assist you in getting the most from your sound system.
We value your feedback and are here to support you. ^Sam
Too expensive for the sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar was just OK. Even with the subwoofer it was lacking “fullness” in the sound. Voice was very clear, which was nice, but I don’t feel this is worth the price.

Piece of junk rated as excellent
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased as excellent condition open box, when I opened the box the unit had a lot of cosmetic damage. Contracted customer service and that was a total waste of time. On the positive side it seems to be working for now. Buyer beware!!!

Posted .Hi, Gina. Thank you for reaching out, and we understand the importance of receiving your LG Soundbar (S70TR) model in the condition you expected. Since the unit is currently functioning, one helpful step is to inspect the exterior panels and connection points to ensure the cosmetic damage hasn’t affected any structural areas or ports. This helps confirm that the soundbar will continue performing as intended.

Great for small room close to tv viewing only.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly not a bad soundbar, but it just didn’t get very loud. Would be fine for a small room where you sit close to the tv, otherwise go with the S90 model
No, I would not recommend this to a friendExcellent Open Box Condition YEAH RIGHT!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased an excellent condition open box geek squad certified sound bar. I planned on running a HDMI cable through the wall and purchased the appropriate length separately. I want to unpack the supposedly excellent condition set up and took an inventory. No remote two of the three required power cables. The sound bar grill has a huge dent in it and all of the speakers are scratched. It is unusable. I am returning it. Hey Best Buy!!! Do better!!! I would not even rate this as fair condition. Geek squad certified… yeah ok! It’s going back and I would like compensation for my trouble.

Posted .Hello there, MichaelS. Thank you for sharing your experience with us regarding your LG S70TR Home Theater Soundbar.

We understand that purchasing a certified item should mean receiving a product in top condition with all necessary components. Since the condition and missing accessories are related to the retailer's processing of the open-box unit, we are committed to helping you navigate this issue.

LG - 5.1.1-Channel S70TR Review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Poor sound quality-- granted that the space size i used this in is 400 sq feet so may have something to do with it, but the sound was so bad that no matter the setting words could not be understood. Als rear speakers need to be tethered with speaker wire. Maybe suitable for a small room??
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from LG Digital Customer Care
Posted .Hi, Bill. Thank you for reaching out about your LG Soundbar (S70TR) model. We understand the importance of having clear, balanced sound—especially in a 400 sq. ft. space. One helpful step you can try is adjusting the AI Sound Pro or Clear Voice feature on the soundbar. These settings are designed to enhance vocal frequencies, which can make spoken words easier to understand in larger rooms. You can also try repositioning the soundbar slightly closer to ear level, as placement can make a noticeable difference in clarity.
For the rear speakers, the S70TR uses a wired connection to the wireless receiver, which is required for stable surround performance. You can review more setup guidance here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/lg-S70TR.AUSALLK. We’d be glad to take a closer look and help you get the best performance possible. Please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com so we can continue assisting you. ^Juvy
