Customer Ratings & Reviews

BACKGROUND: I’m running it on flagship Vizio from a year or two ago, through the latest Apple 4K, or Sony 4K Blu-ray player with 4K Blu-rays. I previously had a 5.1 surround sound system that was Dolby Atmos enabled. But this should be a big upgrade. The room I’m using it in is quite small and mostly square, about 10 feet ceilings. Speakers were setup with soundbar in the middle of the front wall. Sub in the left front corner. Surround speakers equal to ears about 75% into the room near sitting position. This has WAY more power than needed for that room. Volume was 10 – 15 and coming in between 40 – 85 dB depending on scene. Obviously goes way louder than that for bigger rooms. LISTENING: This is a significant step up from my previous Polk system. Bass is cleaner, has more rumble, and deeper. Mids and highs are good. But mids can be a bit muddy depending on what I’m watching. Directional sound was highly dependent on content. Most sound for normal TV viewing (dramas, reality TV, YouTube videos, etc) would come directly from the soundbar itself. This is mostly where I heard the “muddiness”. But still was able to hear clearly which is a problem I struggle with often with speakers without having to have the volume cranked up and getting deafened by background music and everything else other than the person speaking. Which isn’t to say that was perfect either as I still struggled periodically but much better than normal. There is a neat feature where you can turn on all speakers to be “surround”. Which made me be able to hear speakers very easily as it was putting the voice and everything through each speaker “surrounding” you with their voice. But is also a bit strange. Music listening was solid but not nearly as good as media watching. I prefer to use my headphones for music listening. TESTING: Saving Private Ryan opening scene on Omaha beach is intense and really gives this a workout. And it performed excellently. Felt fully immersed with great directionality. Was able to hear people speaking just fine. Explosions and all that were top notch. This was a wow moment for me. And that was through streaming instead of 4K. John Wick (streaming). Guns sounded great, with good base and depth, and could tell the different sounds apart, along with hearing the shells hit the ground and all that. Very nice experience. Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning (4K Blu-ray): Easily heard all dialogue. Quiet scenes were quiet. Loud action scenes were loud and immersive. Good directionality. Really enjoyed it. The Acolyte: Was disappointing. But I don’t think that was the soundbars fault. CONTROLS/REMOTE: Feels good, has good heft, but buttons don’t light up, also minimal if any tactility, making it very difficult to actually find what you are looking for in the dark. Works fine. The soundbar itself only has lights to show you want it is doing. Which is a bit frustrating. Especially, at this price point. While yes, other things can give you the information. I’m still a fan of the device itself showing me what I am looking for. The soundbar itself also has touch capacitive buttons for navigation. Which is nice. I used the app to do AI Room dynamics. It worked very well in improving the sound. But only worked 30 – 40% of the times I tried to calibrate. As I was moving some stuff around. This could be improved as I kept getting the error that the surround speakers and subwoofer weren’t working. Even though they were connected and playing sound correctly. BUILD QUALITY: Excellent. This is very large soundbar. It has speakers on the top for the directional audio. Along with top speakers for each of the surround speakers. Which is a good size. They connect to each other via wireless. Which was easy and took care of itself. I had no issues with losing connection of the subwoofer or surround speakers. Also, didn’t get any popping or dramatic sound change issues that I’ve had with other wireless speakers. Inputs include Arc + HDMI IN + Optical. COMPLAINTS: The speakers/subwoofer/soundbar use the same power cord (which is good), however they are very short when it comes to the surround speakers. Making them harder to place. No actual display, just meaningless lights. Remote doesn’t have much tactility to it and no lights making it hard to operate in the dark. Especially, the volume. AI Room Detection fails more often than it works. But when it does makes a big difference. Mounts use smaller screws than average so normal universal mounts (or at least mine) doesn’t work. Also, the surround speakers mount from the bottom instead of the back (likely due to the top speakers). Also, when mounting soundbar to my TV it has multiple threads, but only two of them are indented, and are very wide where it doesn’t even work on my 75-inch TV, so I had to move them in, where it doesn’t sit flesh. Also, are held by two very small screws which makes me concerned of those breaking and the soundbar dropping onto the things below it. Does seem like a lot of thought was put into that. Which for a flagship is surprising to me. I didn’t consistently get the wow factor from the sound. But was very satisfied and don’t have enough experience with surround systems to measure where exactly this sits. It being wireless will also degrade some of that quality and keeping that in mind I think it performs excellently.

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!!

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.

Solid sound system with deep bass notes from the woofer that create cinematic type movie experience. Could be a bit louder for music but definitely loud enough for TV

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. +

⭐⭐⭐ 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. 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.

Clean, gets loud the sub can be tuned to beat pretty good but there’s no display screen unlike the model down from this and it’s been really annoying to get it to pair properly with the lg tv it was literally made to pair with but sound quality is pretty clean

System sounds great, installed it myself. Geeksquad was worthless. paid them to install the system they wanted to charge me more to remove the TV off the mount, Called for Geeksquad tech support, person answered the phone, said he would be right back. waited 15 min. another person comes on, told them we were waiting for the first person then was told they were closed.

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.

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

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.

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.

The LG S95TR is an incredible soundbar—powerful, clear, and immersive. Dolby Atmos and the wireless sub bring movies and music to life. Easy setup and premium sound make it a top-tier choice!

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.

Best Dolby atmos sound you can get from a soundbar for the money. It has punchy audio and great bass. The app is a must as it allows you to fine tune the audio to your liking. I would recommend especially if you have a later model LG TV.

I've had multiple soundbars in the past but I wanted a new one that spoke the same language as my television and had multiple pieces for a fuller sound. I'm so far very impressed with this one. The rear speakers and subwoofer require no extra connection. Just plug in and then suddenly it's like they're all one unit. The sound is full without shaking my room and disrupting my neighbors. Hopefully the last sound bar i'll ever need.

Overall sound is excellent. Bass comes out from the sub- woofer clear and precise. Links up well and a perfect compliment to my LG 86" television!

Simply the best soundbar I have bought. I tried other soundbars, but the Wow Orchestra is great. Setup was very easy especially since I paired with an LG TV. Soundbar produces incredible sound with Fire Cube too. Dolby Atmos is the best

Great sound - works really well with Lg TV. The Dolby atmos speakers are super easy to set up, I’d say it’s worth the price
