I have been tracking this Soundbar system from a few months now. Ever since I upgraded to the LG EVO C3 Oled TV, I have been having issues with my soundbar. Since the soundbar I had was a different brand from my TV, they didn't "talk" to each other very well. Every time the TV OS updated, it would take forever for the HDMI handshake between the soundbar and TV to complete the process. This meant waiting upwards to 5 minutes for sound to come out of the system. This all changed a week ago.
I want to start with the cons of this Soundbar first:
Not for those who are not tech savvy. This is not a “plug and play” system.
If you do not plug in each device in the proper order, nothing will sync together correctly. Here is the order: Subwoofer, back speakers, soundbar.
Once you have the system set up in your living room the way you want, the system needs an app for set up. This app in accessed through a QR code in the paper instructions. The Soundbar app is needed to connect the Soundbar to wifi. Once you connect to wifi, the app tells you to use LG ThinQ for everything else.
The full instructions are found on an additional QR code in the paper instructions.
Although not required for daily use, it is advised that you use the LG ThinQ app for controlling your soundbar.
Optical in and HDMI ARC/eARC share the same input on the Soundbar, which is not explained well.
WOW Orchestra does not automatically come on. You have to find a specific setting on your LG TV to activate this option.
You can connect devices directly to the soundbar. Unfortunately, you have to remember to change the input on the soundbar to HDMI in, and this locks you out from using WOW Orchestra.
Now for the pros of this system:
The LG ThinQ app gives you complete control of your soundbar. I prefer using it to the soundbar remote.
Going from a 5.1 to 7.1 surround sound system is game changing. This sound system makes you feel like you are in a “bubble” of sound.
Once set up properly, the LG TV and soundbar talk to each other effortlessly.
WOW Orchestra is fantastic, and is now my preferred choice when watching content or gaming.
The most obvious pro is no wires. Everything is wireless. It’s awesome!
If you want, you can utilize the wifi feature on the soundbar. This eliminates the need for an HDMI connection to the TV.
I admittedly almost gave up on this Soundbar and returned it. Thankfully, I stuck it out and forced myself to learn how the system works. Even with the negatives that I pointed out, this is the best sound system I have ever owned. It is a perfect companion to my LG TV!

Works great with our new LG tv! Fits perfectly and sounds great. Only slight negative is it seems like it has to be turned up pretty high for normal use.

I purchased a Sony Theater Bar 6 and didn't like it. It didn't project that surround sound you can feel across the whole room. This, on the other hand, is the real deal. I paired it with my 65" LG G5 tv for WOW Orchestra sound and it is freaking awesome! Sounds better than a movie theater. It is well worth the price.

The best sound bar out there I have tried many other sound bar and wasn’t impressed so a friend recommended the lg sound bar cause already have a lg tv so I bought it on a Black Friday sale and had it connected in a matter of seconds and watched a movie and man was I impressed wow is all I can see worth the buy if you like loud and the bass resonance well worth it

Worth the price! Clear crisp highs and powerful deep lows. Wireless connection that worked seamlessly with my home internet service and new LG C5 TV. With the bass and rear speakers located behind you it provides an excellent 5 star surround sound experience. Had Geek Squad installation for a no guessing maximized home theater result. Only wish the family would allow me to turn up the volume so I could enjoy the subtleties even more!

This is an excellent home theater system. However...the simple manual given does not tell you that you have to actually turn on the surround sound by using the settings button on the remote control. I have owned this for over 11 months and did not know that the rear speakers and subwoofer were not functioning as they should be. I became suspicious when I played a music DVD. I went to lg.com and downloaded the complete owners manual and found what I needed on pages 10,11,25-28. You would think that a soundbar would come already shipped with the surround sound feature already set to on. Save yourself some grief and turn on the surround sound capability when you first set up the system. Again, this is a great system, just wish LG had included this vital information in the manual that came with the product.

I would give my soundbar more stars if it allowed. It took me a little bit of time to get it synced with my tv. Once I did, I have been thrilled with the surround sound. I appreciated the $100 off bundle price by buying it with an LG tv. I was in also able to price match it for another $100 off. So I was thrilled with the deal I received and I'm grateful for the sound I now get to enjoy listening to.

Overall I’m pretty happy with the soundbar however I wish the two additional speakers provided a bit more sound. I know there’s likely a way I can adjust the settings via the app the help a bit and the speakers are more for background but for 7.1 speakers I expected better for the additional two speakers especially for the prove. At least setup was easy for an LG tv. If you have an LG tv I’d recommend this but you could probably find a better one for the price if you don’t.

I think this sound bar sounds really good and pears nicely with LG C5 77 inch TV. The only issue I really have with it is how to adjust the rear and subwoofer. There are lights on the sound bar that show what level you have them set at and think it would be much better if there was an on screen menu for the Settings. if not for this issue I would’ve given it a five star rating.

Works great with LG OLED TV and Amazon fire tv cube. Love the wireless sub and rear surround speakers. Watching sports you feel like you are at the game with the great sound from this system. Replace a SONY receiver with POLK speakers and this system is just as good or better. Get it. You will not be disappointed.

This is a great sound bar. We have one at our California house hardly as nice as this one. We bought a new TV and needed a sound bar, so we bought this one. I’m going to need another one for my other house, I would definitely buy another one

The sound is incredible and the mobile app offers a wide variety of features like AI room calibration tunes the sound to your space. It is easy to set up.

Overall very content with my purchase. I caught it on sale after waiting for a few months, well worth the wait. Some people reviewed connection issues with the satelite speakers however this was not my experience. It worked perfectly as soon as I set it it up.

The LG soundbar delivers clear, immersive audio with powerful bass, making it a great addition to any home theater setup. Its sleek design and user-friendly features add to its appeal. A solid choice for enhancing TV and movie sound quality.
