In your face sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LG has stepped it up a notch with the S95TR, giving you the boom you want! But for me it’s not the BOOM I need! Let’s get right into it. The S95TR is undoubtedly a really good soundbar, I can’t deny that, but I feel with the multitude of enhanced tech within this unit, it still leaves me wanting & craving more. The 9.1.5 channel soundbar provides an immersive audio experience regardless of your position within a room, providing a true sense of submersion in sound. Out of the box without any speaker adjustment, I played music through the bar via my cell phone, and boy did the 810 watts give me a smile! At low volume the sound is strong and absolutely clear, but once you turn up the volume it becomes a full concert in your room. I was confronted by full and rich sound from every direction, especially the rear speakers. Every speaker was firing at the same level, which for me seemed a bit off as I expected the rear speakers to be more of a supporting actor in this “movie of sound”, not a main character. Again, this is without any adjustments to the speakers. Now you’re probably wondering “why wouldn’t anyone want this?” Well for me, it takes too much to get the full body-soothing sound I’m looking for. Once I downloaded the LG Soundbar app I used the AI room calibration feature to get see how AI determines the best sound setup for my space. Once the calibration is complete you are provided an option to listen to the calibrated sound vs. the sound pre-calibration. There was almost no noticeable difference between the two, minus a bit more bass response from the “before” sound. So that lead me to tweaking the sound settings manually. Within the speaker settings I adjusted and tweaked my speakers for almost 20 minutes and still could not find a happy medium which gives me the solid bass response and supportive rear fill I would expect from a unit of this caliber. To achieve the sound I’m looking for, the volume on this soundbar just particular needs to be extremely high and with the rear speakers at -5. Maybe it’s my own personal gripe, but the lack of sound response that I know can be achieved is a bit underwhelming. Don’t get me wrong, this is an amazing soundbar! The footprint is slim for a soundbar, and the rear speakers easily blend into your background. The top and side firing speakers on the bar provide crispy and very clear/accurate sound, especially for media involving scenes with people whispering. The surround sound kicks in amazingly especially with action movies. The Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity are super fast and easy to setup. In fact, the setup was even faster than unboxing the unit. I also have to point out the quick and easy ability of connecting the soundbar to other smart devices; smart hub, etc. before I could finish setting up my speaker preferences my smart hub was already ready to cast music to the soundbar. After listening to and enjoying the soundbar for a few days, I noticed 2 more small hiccups. First, as with a few other soundbars I’ve owned, this too has already had instances where the connection of the subwoofer suddenly dropped. Thankfully, after a few seconds the subwoofer re-connected on its own. But this has happened a few more times since I got the unit. Second, and this is purely personal preference, but I miss having a visual display on my soundbar. I’ve always liked having either a small screen or at least scrolling LED words to show the setting I’ve selected, or the volume level. The 3 LED’s just don’t do it for me. Yes of course it’s displayed if I have the tv on, but I also like using my soundbar for music, so a quick glance at the bar to see what my levels are would be beneficial for me. *edit* while in the middle of watching a movie the entire soundbar stopped putting out any sound, though all speakers show as connected. Outside of these very small gripes, I really like this soundbar. If you’re looking for a huge step up for your tv, this is definitely the soundbar to get!

A lot of channels, Useless Remote & Display
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.TLDR: A versatile system that is extremely easy to set-up and is wire-free (minus power). It does not have the best audio quality compared to the big player in the market but does a good job a providing an enveloping surround sound environment with an app that is easy to use and navigate. However, the remote and LED display are useless. INSTALLATION AND SETUP I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to set-up the new S95TR. After unplugging my existing soundbar and plugging the HDMI cable into the appropriate eARC/ARC port in the LG, supplying power, things went very smoothly. The soundbar, sub, and surround configuration is accomplished through LG’s minimalist LG Soundbar App. This is not a ding on LG. Quite the opposite. The app is easy to use and understand without a bunch of fuss and bloatware. Settings, functions, etc. are easily accessible via a one-page interface, with more detailed adjustments available in the simple to access and find settings menu. After my current soundbar underwent a major app design overhaul this spring, I am happy to report that LG’s app is much easier to use than their primary competitor. While I don’t consider the app and the accompanying documentation perfect, LG has done a good job at streamlining the process. However, this isn’t to say that they couldn’t print a QR code or two in their literature to link you directly to the Play Store or Apple App Store. Come on LG. Not sure what to expect, I installed the soundbar and powered it up. The LG app recognized the speaker after a few seconds and immediately downloaded a mandatory firmware update. No issues. The update installed without drama and after only a couple of minutes, the soundbar rebooted and was good to go. The simplicity LG designed into the S95 and the app is impressive. Unlike some of their competition that requires you to manually pair their companion sub and surrounds, LG needs no extra steps. Getting the whole system up and running was frustration-free. After being plugged in, the sub and the surround sound speakers paired at once to the soundbar. Outstanding work LG. USE The S95 pairs nicely to my existing LG OLED TV, even with it being several years old and one of the first few generations. The TV recognized the soundbar and was easily setup to use the ARC channel for audio. Buyers of newer LG TVs can use the super slick Wowcast feature and eliminate the hardwired connection altogether. Sweet. LG’s wireless communications protocol is robust and dynamic. The 4 speakers (soundbar, sub, 2 surrounds) blend together with no discernible lag or awkward timing imbalance. While I could not find specs on the system, the surrounds appear to support the full audio spectrum 20Hz – 20kHz, or close enough that the sub can pick up for what they lack. Sound is enveloping. LG offers a variety of listening modes, which I find are mostly a gimmick. I find the AI Sound Pro my most used listening mode. Other modes just make the audio sound un-natural and sadly, muted. One thing I find odd, is that by default the surround function is turned off when setting up the system. While this may be the “proper” way to use the S95, I find it odd that LG wouldn’t showcase the surrounds and have them on by default. For those that have a home theater AVR, this setting enables “All Channel Stereo” or “Multi-Channel Stereo” to use the setting name from a competitor. NEGATIVES LG has tried too hard to copy their greatest home streaming speaker ecosystem. The minimalist approach to the S95 doesn’t work nearly as well as the competition. The 3 multi-colored LED’s on the front panel of the S95 do absolutely nothing to help out. After installing and trying the speakers, I still have no idea what the different colors really mean or why I would even care. I agree with what others have said around the interwebs, to make the soundbar great, LG needs to have a better display or eliminate the LED’s all together. I get why they are there. My current big name streaming system gives no feedback without directly using the app. LG has tried to remedy this problem by installing the 3 LED’s, but the end result is lackluster and unhelpful. A mark missed. This missed mark also extends to the remote control. With minimal feedback offered via the LED’s using the remote to change functions and control the soundbar turns into a guessing game. To me the remote is useless. It easier just to use the app to get what you want versus the remote. It’s easier, eliminates guesswork, and provides feeback that your commands were sent and recognized. While the LG offers a plethora of channels, the overall sound quality from each of those channels are not as good as my primary soundbar’s drivers. The LG sounds overly bright, thin, and tinny. Not horrible, or fingernails on a chalkboard, but none the less are inferior to their streaming rival’s products. I think some of this awkwardness could be tuned out via a firmware update, but as used and configured with the LG room correction app, the drivers and audio sound harsher than the competition. Lastly, I have to comment on LG’s poor mounting solution for their soundbar. I’ve sound bars from 4 different manufacturers now and the LG implementation ties as the worst. Not only are the mounting brackets for the soundbar and surrounds ugly, but the soundbar’s mounting locations are in the wrong place for the American market. The soundbar’s mounting holes are 35” apart, center-to-center. National building code requires wall studs a maximum of 16” on center. This squarely places one or both the mounting brackets out of location of a stud, and if mounting on drywall, forces the buyer to utilize a less than ideal drywall anchor to mount at least one of the two brackets. LG’s competitors have a much better bracket to mount their product, especially the biggest player in the home speaker streaming market. Their bracket is thinner, spans the entire length of the soundbar and is nearly invisible once installed and the speaker mounted. Even with the S95 mounted, the brackets look like cheap after thoughts. FINAL THOUGHTS LG has done a good job of updating its S95 lineup. There are a lot of channels to take advantage of the latest and greatest Dolby Atmos mixes in music and movies. Channel timing is spot on with no discernible lag between the sound and video, at least in my use. Setup is simple and LG should be commended for streamlining the entire process like they have done. The app is easy to use and understand with all the basics and little to no fluff to add confusion. To make things even easier, LG has even included an AI Room Calibration feature to their app. It works as intended, even if more rudimentary than the competition. While I find the sound quality of my current soundbar superior to the LG, it doesn’t make the S95 bad. It is just a matter of preference. Honestly, my current system should sound better, as I’ve paid more for just the soundbar and sub than this whole LG system retails for. The difference in price helps overcome the perceived thinness (and at times, tinniness) of the LG drivers. Owners looking for a premium system to complement their TV should put this on their list of auditions. The LG S95 offers a full surround experience in one easy-to-use, tidy, package. RECOMMENDED

Flawless wireless setup, big sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The LG S95TR 9.1.5 Channel is a complete all-in-one Dolby ATMOS DTS-X surround sound system that comes with everything you need to greatly improve your TV sound experience. The soundbar is about 49” long, pretty basic, rectangular look, with capacitive and very sensitive touch buttons discreetly on top back edge. The system also includes a good size powered subwoofer and two surround/height speakers. Both the sub and the rear speakers connect wirelessly to the soundbar, all they need is power, so that makes their placement very easy. The only complaint I have is that the power cords are too short, only about 5ft long. The initial setup is very easy, just plug-in all components in the correct order clearly listed in the installation instructions - that is subwoofer first, then surround speakers and lastly the soundbar itself. Once you turn on the soundbar, it will automatically pair all components together and a green LED light will be lit when connected. There is 1 HDMI input, one HDMI e/ARC output, as well as optical-in and a USB in port. The soundbar has a vertical row of LEDs that are used as visual indicators for power on, volume level, input type, bluetooth and chromecast connection, etc. I would have loved it if it had a small display or on-screen menu and indicators that you could see on your TV. The LG soundbar app does provide you with additional information like sound decoder, volume level and many other configuration settings. The remote control looks similar to LG TV remotes but much more basic and pretty cheap looking with very few buttons and because there is no display on the soundbar itself, you’d be hard pressed to use this remote for anything else other than power-on/off and volume control, which can be controlled from your TV remote anyway. You have to use the App to complete the setup, such as connecting to WiFi network, upgrading the firmware, running the AI room calibration and picking from several sound modes as well as a 3-band equalizer. The Advanced Room Calibration feature seems pretty basic, it uses your smartphone microphone to determine your seating position and speaker volumes. It only took about a minute to complete and I couldn’t really tell the difference before and after. The default sound level coming out of this system is quite loud and impressive at first. I found myself having to turn the volume down quite frequently. The subwoofer provides plenty of kick and boom to satisfy most movie buffs, though I had to turn that down as well since it was overpowering. I was quite pleased with the immersive surround sound field that was very enveloping but it kind of blended everything together - not enough separation between the channels and definitely hard to distinguish the ATMOS height sounds that are supposed to bounce off the ceiling from the up-firing front and rear speaker drivers. I paired this with an LG C2 OLED TV and it seamlessly integrated with the WOW Orchestra feature where the built-in TV speakers are paired together with the soundbar. I’m on the fence about this feature at least for movie watching. It further blended the channels and it kind of toned down the volume of the soundbar overall. Dialogue seemed a bit more positional coming out of the screen though, so that could be a plus. All in all this is a solid soundbar system, meant to be high-end and will make a great addition to any medium size room or large bedroom.

Fantastic! Great for gamers and movies alike.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Went with this soundbar to replace my large home theater in the living room. I wanted something with enough power, atmos enabled, and with a minimal footprint. Plus I'll be upgrading to the LG G4 in a few months so the S95TR made sense. First, this has PLENTY of power for a medium sized room. The rear surround and Atmos effects are amazing. Second, I'm able to use Atmos in Windows 11 with my gaming laptop on my Sony 4k TV (using the HDMI input, not earc input). I did however have to use CRU Custom Resolution Utility (Google to learn and download as I updated my EDID in order to use the S95tr at 1080p @ 120hz even though it was outputting sound only from the HDMI in.) This was NOT an issue with the soundbar but my TV is a first gen dolby vision enabled panel so it's older. Could be a Windows 11 thing, too. Who knows. But I got it working perfectly. Keep that in my if youre a PC gamer with an older TV. Console gamers won't have this issue. Gaming and movies are so much fun. The surround channels border on amazing as atmos surround effects appear with graceful perfection from the audio tracks. Setup was a piece a cake using the LG app. Yes, you will need to tinker with setting and channel adjustments. Yes, out of the box it doesn't sound right and you'll think something is wrong. But... stick with it and use the AI calibration and other adjustments. I promise you'll be glad you did. Finally, soundbars have always been taboo in my house. Audio folks have a hard time letting go of all our speakers and large equipment but I gave this a shot and I'm glad I did. It's perfect for my room size and sounds excellent. Just calibrate it!!

Excellent, easy to use, with minor quirks
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The LG S95TR Dolby Atmos 9.1.5 channel soundbar ticks all the boxes I expected from a top end soundbar from LG. There are some weird quirks that keep it from being a perfect product, but overall I am pretty impressed with the sound quality and features of this soundbar. #First Impressions# Upon delivery, I was a little worried to see the box had been slightly damaged on its way to me, with a big gash in the box. Once I opened the box, I found the unit inside wasn't damaged at all, and the packaging is nearly 100% cardboard so it's very recyclable. LG managed to make the package dense enough that you don't have a gigantic box considering how many pieces come with it, while still having plenty of air around each piece for protection. No styrofoam gets two big thumbs up from me. #Setup# The basic setup and connections were super easy to make. The wireless sub and surround speakers have little buttons that put them in pairing mode and they immediately synced with the soundbar. I first connected the soundbar to my LG 65" B2 OLED and had it up and running in a few minutes. I was a little disappointed to find that you have to download a separate app to control from your phone instead of it being built into LG ThinQ where my TV and Washer/Dryer are set up. Still, controlling with the LG Soundbar app was easy enough. The app has a very cool room configuration mode that uses your phone's microphone to help tune the speakers based on where they are placed and where you sit. Once connected to an LG TV, you are able to configure the basic sound settings like the mode (Standard, Cinema, AI, Music, etc) from the TV's menus. I tried several times, including resetting the soundbar, to get the WOWcast setting working where the soundbar is able to connect wirelesly to the TV. Just couldn't get it to work for me on my B2. LG's website is a little frustrating trying to find information as to whether this is even innately supported by my TV or whether I needed the WOWcast dongle. After trying it out on my LG OLED, I moved the soundbar to my bedroom where it is replacing an older midrange soundbar from another brand. The bedroom TV is an inexpensive 2024 model Fire TV from another brand, but I still found the soundbar to be super easy to use with HDMI-CEC automatically powering it on and controlling the volume. I have the bar wall mounted under the TV. I think it's a little odd that LG didn't include any wire management behind the soundbar. I tried a few different methods to keep the power cable from sagging and becoming visible dangling beneath the soundbar and eventually settled on a piece of electrical tape. Fortunately black electrical tape blends perfectly on the color so it wouldn't be noticeable even up close. #Sound# The most important aspect of any soundbar is the audio experience and here the LG S95TR really surprised me. As an Atmos/DTS:X device, this thing is amazing at providing height to cinematic audio tracks. The main soundbar itself has 3 up-firing speakers, while the surrounds have up firing speakers as well. Playing the new UHD release of Twister on this soundbar is a special experience with the height effects really blowing me away. Another big test for me is how well the soundbar handles dialogue, and here again I am pretty impressed with the separation of frontal audio where the center channel is able to keep dialogue focused in the middle of the front soundstage. Musically, the S95TR is somewhere better than OK but less than amazing. I think it sounds very good in the "Standard" audio mode, but I found the AI Sound Pro mode was too "processed" sounding, especially when not seated perfectly in the middle seating position. This is a bit frustrating since the AI Sound Pro seems to work really well with standard TV and movie watching, without the artifacts at the high midrange. Given that, I just leave the soundbar in Standard mode all the time. The bar does support Google Cast so I added it to my "Whole Home" speaker group and it integrates perfectly so I can go room to room with the same audio playing. The Google Cast capability does take quite a bit longer to start up than on my other audio systems, but it works. #Final thoughts# Setting this soundbar up and using it for the first time, I can't help but think that in my past life working A/V retail in college I would have blown the doors off selling this soundbar. For someone wanting to add a truly mind-blowing Atmos experience to their TV, especially LG's OLED TVs, this thing is truly amazing. It's a big step up from the tinny one dimensional soundbars of a few years ago. I think the first time you fire it up with a movie with lots of heigh effects (try the new UHD Twister release!) you'll be shocked. Couple that with the easy setup and complimentary features with LG TVs and it's an easy sale. Even with the non-LG TV that I ended up using it for this soundbar was easy to connect and use and is perfect for adding Atmos to my bedroom. Kudos to LG for a strong product that shows they can be players in the audio market.

Needs a bigger sub and better display
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have mixed reviews about this soundbar. When I first got it, I had the soundbar setup in my living room on a newer Sony Bravia 4k TV using the built in google TV. I'm not sure what the issue was but the sound was flat and tiny. Even my partner who could care less about sound quality even noticed. I tried resetting it, playing with sound options on my tv, etc and nothing would fix the issue. The prior sound bar I had worked flawlessly and sounded great for movies, tv, music, etc. I gave up using it on my Sony TV and took it to our basement projector room to use with the Apple TV. This fixed all the weird issues and the soundbar actually sounded really good. It seemed to be working like it should and I could clearly hear everything and using Atmos really made movies come to life. Even watching normal TV the soundbar sounded perfectly fine compared to my first test. The surround speakers are very large and work very well, almost to well as they get very loud and sometimes can overpower the front speakers. This is easy to adjust in the app to reduce down the sound level. After getting everything correctly working, I noticed that the only flaw (big flaw in my eyes) is the sub. I feel that the sub is lacking and even though it sounds good at times, but when something that requires a deep rumbling bass, this soundbar just didn't produce. My other sound bar has a ten inch sub and you can feel the rumble instead of just hearing a booming noise. The second issue I have is the display or lack thereof on this soundbar. It uses color coded LED dots as a display. This feels and looks so cheap for such an expensive soundbar. I found that I had to use LG phone app 99% of the time to make any changes as the LED dots are not helpful. I really wish LG would have included at the very least a simple display that shows texts like many other companies use. The actual build quality of the speakers is very good and have a nice look and are heavy. Its sleek and low profile and would look good in most spaces. In the App you can adjust the volume level for each speaker group, center, front top, front, sub volume, rear top, rear side, etc. So overall you can make a lot of adjustments to the speakers and how loud they get. In the app you can adjust the sound setting to different listening modes. I mostly left it on the AI pro as that produced the best sound overall for my use. Overall, I don't love this soundbar, but I also don't hate it. I can overlook it not working correctly with my Sony TV, but the LED display and smaller sub would make me pass this one over and find one that had a better display and bigger sub. +

LG 9.1.5
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speakers to replace TV speakers. Pros: * Good at projecting the voice without distortion * Doesn’t distort the sound when it’s high volume * Bass is not as muddy if you tune it yourself * Easy connection to the TV especially if it’s the same brand * Instantly connects to the two satellite speakers Cons: * Really expensive * You have to buy/make your own satellite speaker stand. Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes, though there are other options out there I picked this one up because it matches the TV brand that I have. You also get more for the price that you are paying for. All in all, I do like it and it made watching movies a lot better.

"Great Sound, But Frustrating Connectivity Issues"
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.⭐⭐⭐ The LG 9.1.5-Channel S95TR Soundbar delivers impressive sound quality, deep bass, and an immersive Dolby Atmos experience, making movies and music truly come to life. The WOW Orchestra feature enhances audio depth, and the rear speakers add a great surround effect. However, connectivity issues hold it back from being a perfect setup. There are frequent dropouts with wireless connections, and syncing the subwoofer and rear speakers can be frustrating at times. While the sound performance is excellent when everything works, the inconsistent connection detracts from the overall experience. For the price, I expected a more reliable system. Hopefully, a future firmware update can improve stability.

Great Soundbar and easy connection to LG C4 TV
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great soundbar. Overall sound is great. The integration with my LG B4 77" OLED C3 TV was extremely simple. There are number of presetting that was very helpful: Cinema, Sports, Voice, etc. The sound quality was great even when the sound volume increased. I had an entry level soundbar which I use use today and had for 10 years where the sound distorted as the volume went up. The only negative is that I was told that you can connect directly a turntable. However, it turns out that I would have to connect a receiver to the S95TR or by HDMI to RCA cable connector/converter. You also need a phono preamp. Might have gone with different option if I knew you can not connect turntable directly to the S95TR. I would also have given 5 star.

WOW Home Theater!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I paired the LG S95TR with my LG OLED TV, and the difference was noticeable right away. Setup was pretty straightforward, and once everything was connected through eARC, it worked great. The surround sound is amazing, especially with Dolby Atmos movies. The wireless rear speakers and subwoofer make it feel like you’re in the middle of the action, and dialogue is much clearer than with my TV speakers. I also like that the bass is powerful without being overwhelming. Music sounds great too, although this system really shines when watching movies, sports, or playing games. If you have an LG TV, features like WOW Orchestra are a nice bonus and make everything sound even bigger. The only downside is that you’ll want to spend a little time adjusting the speaker levels and settings to get the best sound for your room. Once dialed in, it’s absolutely worth it. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. It’s not cheap, but if you’re looking for a premium home theater experience without installing a full receiver and speaker system, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended.

Expected Better from a flagship
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.- The Pros: o The overall Dolby Atmos and immersive sound is great, action movies really gain a lot with these compared to the Bose Ultra w/ bass. The Wow Orchestra when it works helps center channel issues immensely, but more on that in a moment. o The setup is easy and took nearly no time, need the app to calibrate (had a challenge finding the hardware at first), but the app is easy to navigate and walk through the process. o The price is a lot but compared to the Bose, Sony, Samsung equivalent the price to fine for a good audio experience. - The Cons: o When linked to the LG TV at least, the sound bar will intermittently turn off for 1-3 minutes, I’m not sure why this is. I ruled out power flexatones and general settings. o Wow Orchestra is great when it works, that was only the first day when I got it out of the box. Haven’t seen it since then. Part of that is on me for not exploring further but it’s not very intuitive on how to validate it is synced up. o Wireless also only worked for the first day, after that there was a lot of interference so I ended up using the eARC… this could be related to the Wow Orchestra stuff. The interference was very unusually as the only wifi I have in the section of the room is the TV, Soundbar, Apple TV, and Game system sometimes. - The worst of the worst! o The center channel, I have adjusted every setting trying to figure out a setting to “set it, and forget it” but it’s not possible, everything I watch needs some kind of adjustment and while all the action is almost to loud, all the dialog is a whisper. I can forgive everything else, but this is killing me and almost has me taking it back. o On top of the whisper, if you can hear clear voice then it sounds like it’s coming through a tin can. You can adjust settings to make that a little better but it’s aggravating beyond belief, I’m ready to go back to my Bose Ultra setup again. I though LG TV with LG Flagship soundbar was going to be the best experience but I was mistaken. - I put up with this because I think a lot of this is just an update away from getting fixed… I hope that’s the case. I don’t know who Tests and then finally QC’s this equipment, but this system should never have left the factory like this.

Go big and enjoy.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned because I wanted more power which this model provides. The subwoofer is big and the rear speakers are also large. The setup is easy, just use the 4 power cords which are included. I also have LG ThinQ app which can be connected to this model which adds individual speaker control for individual speakers. Follow the directions carefully. This unit has many features and choices, several sound modes and output options.

If you want the bass, pass on this...!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just purchased this today, and tomorrow I will be returning. My opinion of the looks of this soundbar, rear speakers, and sub are positive. It has a nice look to it, the remote is nice too. My opinion on the overall sound and different sound settings is positive too. The reason why I rated this a 4/5 is because of all of this. I will be returning for one main reason, the power of the sub. It is very weak, even when on bass blast. I am very disappointed in this because of the strength of the sub. For the price point, I wouldn't recommend this soundbar system. There are other soundbars at a much cheaper price point that have more powerful bass. For example, a $200 Vizio has a better boom. Another thing to mention is the difficulty of going to the adjustments portion. There is no screen, however, the soundbar has a voice which helps but since there are so many different judgments and features, it is a pain the way it operates with the remote.

LG S95TR 9.1.5
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing gets super loud and great Dolby Atmos sound of course you have to make sure you're on a Dolby Atmos show and I would download the lg soundbar app so you can tweak the speakers to your liking and wow. I don't use the remote, I haven't tried against Samsung 990d but would like to one day I have a 77 lgc1 so I can't use wow orchestra but I think that's a gimmick anyway. but definitely great sound and bass and separation.

An audiophile's dream come true
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted the HW-Q990F for the number of drives it had and yes i know thats not an LG soundbar. However my concerns for the drivers numbers was non founded when i heard what this system could do with wow orchestra. The sound is crisp, the mids and highs and well pronounced no to mention the bass balance is on point. I recommend the Ai Calibration before you enjoy it, it works wonders i promise, you wont regret it.

Was not disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I thought the setup process was pretty easy, hardest part is making sure my OCD had everything even and level. The product sounds great and I didn’t experience any difficulties with the connectivity or app used to control the soundbar. The different features are great to be able to utilize depending on what you’re watching. The app makes this super easy. Definitely took a few hours to get acquainted with all the features, especially since my old system was very outdated. Was time well spent because now I can use to its maximum capability.

Mediacore for its price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a bad item. It's loud and clear but that's just the best it does. Bass is ok and rear speakers don't sound as clear as they should, the Vizio soundbar I had had better rear speakers then these and a significant lesser price. The app is ok and not much you can do with it. It gets out of wifi a lot. For the price this is at is definitely not impressive. For what it's worth it's definitely

Good sound, good quality, good price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it open box and luckily all pieces were still in their original packaging. Paired with my new LG G5 OLED it offers seamless operation and very good cinematic sound, although the up-firing Dolby Atmos speakers could be a bit more robust. (Maybe I still don't have them adjusted quite right.)
