Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a 6 year old oled tv in my bedroom that has dolby vision and atmos picture and sound, and I've been good with it's built in sound for a while, but as my kids get older they are watching more stuff on my main TV or the basement one and I find myself watching stuff in my bedroom. The more I use the TV the more I find it difficult to hear things clearly. I usually keep closed captions on now in that room because these streaming services (and even cable before I cut the cord) was an issue with the dialogue clarity. This soundbar helped tremendously upping the clarity. With dialog settings in the mix setting (thought generally standard is just fine) and late-night settings also, I can custamize things to hear stuff well enough to not have subtitles on. Setup was not hard, though I'd again prefer to have more than a half page of instructions on setup and settings so I could read up on stuff before diving into the app, or have to download extra instructions. Just print them. I know i'm old, but it's still my preference, not a mark against thus unit. Once downloaded, the app has you set up wifi, then pretty much you are set to go. When setup you can turn on and off the soundbar, connect by blutooth or wifi, set up you preferred ai assistant. I have mine as a large retailers, but it also asked about a certain search engine's assistant also, I just didn't do that. The bass and treble balance is excellent. I just don't hear any distortion. Clear and crisp. It comes with an hdmi cable and I connected by arc, but optical also there (no cord included for that). Mounting template is also there and very sturdy wall mounts and hardware. Screws and drywall anchors included. Batteries also included with the remote. This sound is premium, and currently the price is mid range. I think a good value. No reason to not give it 5 stars.

Very low volume sound. Will need to replace with a better one

This is a really nice Soundbar that can connect via bluetooth to your television, phone, laptop or any device that has bluetooth connectivity. You can also connect to your gaming console via HDMI which is great. The sound quality on this soundbar is so clear and loud with a good amount of bass. I have been using it to play music from my iPhone and the music sounds great. I love that you can control the soundbar via the remote when connecting via bluetooth, turning up the volume, changing the sound quality and a few other options. The sound bar was easy to connect to and set-up. There is a paper and screws to help with mounting on a wall, if needed. My other soundbar needed an optical audio cable to connect to my television, but this one does not. This one has an optical audio options, but is not necessary if you have bluetooth capability on your television. What comes in the box is screws, HDMI cable and the plug. There were not instructions in the box, but you can go on the website and get more instructions or information. This was a cinch to connect and setup. Love that you can connect via bluetooth. It makes it so much easier.

I think the utility of this sound bar will highly depend on the TV that you are connecting to. In my personal use, I've used it with a Hisense U8 series from 2022 (one of their best), and I don't hear a dramatic difference in the sound quality. Apparently flat-screen TVs have improved their speakers dramatically in the past few years. That being said, there is a definite improvement in the depth of the sound. It's difficult to describe, but you can hear a greater differentiation between the bass and treble frequencies. It is possible this difference comes from the ability to have AI determine the best sound-quality for the room it is in. There is a more resonant bass than from the TV, but not dramatically so. If you are in a smaller space, such as a 1-bedroom as I am, then the fact that this works as a Bluetooth speaker is excellent. I don't have to worry about having another device on the counter for cooking or while entertaining. Just switch over to Bluetooth and you are good to go. The only minor issue that I've noticed is that if you are watching the TV with audio over HDMI, then switch through the inputs on the soundbar, when you get back to HDMI for the TV it will appear to be working by all indications on the TV but no sound comes out. The only solution I found for this was turning the TV off and on again. Apparently we are still not past the time of "have you tried restarting it..."

The LG Eclair 3.0 channel soundbar w/Dolby Atmos — surprising output from something that doesn’t take up a lot of space. Just a couple things to note — Let's start with the good: this sound bar packs a punch for it's size! Surprising amount of bass, and clean highs that don't sound tinny. There's an array of sound presets for different content (sports, movies, music, etc.), but it was easy to find a setting that sounded best to my ear and made everything sound good. Bluetooth connectivity seems strong. I haven't run into any issues with the signal dropping out. I don't recommend connecting a video source with Bluetooth because of a noticeable delay, but it's great for listening to music. That leads me to the bad…well, at least a chink in the armor of an otherwise great soundbar. This is probably very niche and won't be an issue for most people. While the Eclair supports both Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision, it doesn’t seem to support Dolby Vision for gaming. I don't know why this functionality gets stripped away. I didn't know it was different from normal Dolby Vision. I had to buy an HDMI 2.1 splitter and have one line going to my tv and the other going to the Eclair. This fixed the issue, but it was frustrating nonetheless. Overall I'm very happy with the ease of use and high quality of the Eclair. Sounds great and very easy to use!

The first thing I have to say about this sound bar is that it's smaller than I expected. It's tiny compared to my TV or some other sound bars I've had. This is nice, though, because it taking up less space on my TV stand means I can put other things there such as a clock. The biggest complaint I have about this sound bar is that it doesn't have an IR repeater that I can find. This doesn't affect me since my TV has a Bluetooth remote, but for TVs without that it might be an issue if you're putting the sound bar on the same surface as the TV - it's kind of tall and seems like it would block the IR receiver off pretty neatly. Other than that I've got no issues. The sound quality is good, much better than just the TV. It sounds nice even at low volumes, and the app has a night mode you can turn on to try to avoid disturbing people while using it. There's an extra HDMI port to make up for the ARC port it takes up, and there's multiple inputs as well so you can use it as a big Bluetooth speaker for instance. The sound bar also has Chromecast Built-in as well as support for Alexa and AirPlay. The sound bar can also calibrate itself for the room you're in, which is nice. The sound quality is pretty good, particularly for voices. I've played a handful of games on the Xbox Series X and the PS5 with it, and in both cases I've been able to hear the voices in game better than I have with a headset without sacrificing the quality of the rest of the sound. Of course, headphones vs sound bar is a pretty flawed comparison, so take that with a grain of salt; but the games I played with this sound bar did sound good regardless. I haven't been watching TV as much lately, but the one Blu-ray I watched with this sound bar hooked up did sound pretty good as well. The bass is good without being overpowering and it doesn't seem to be plagued with the "all mids" issue I've seen on some hardware. I also appreciate that the sound bar has an optical input. I personally don't need it, but having options is nice. I also like that this sound bar can do bass well without needing a subwoofer. It doesn't sound like anything is missing without a subwoofer, unlike some sound bars I've used. This is useful if you live somewhere with thin walls or just have sensory issues with lots of bass. The built in bass doesn't seem to have quite the same force as a dedicated subwoofer would, but the sound quality is still good. This is nice because it relaxes my worries about annoying the neighbors. Of course, if you like the really forceful bass you may want to get a system with a dedicated subwoofer. I'd definitely recommend this sound bar, especially if you live somewhere where you don't have a lot of space. This would be perfect for somewhere like a college dorm or a small apartment.

The LG Eclair 3.0 Channel Soundbar with Dolby Atmos is a nice, high quality soundbar with impressive sound. Following are my observations in using this soundbar: - The soundbar is a nice looking, thin unit with rounded ends. It's dimensions are 2.5" high x 31.5" wide by 5.2" deep. My TV sits on a entertainment center, so this soundbar sits right in front of the TV and is thin enough that it does not block the remote sensor on the bottom of my TV. - The back of the unit has one optical audio input, one HDMI input, one HDMI output with which you can connect using eARC, a USB port and the power adaptor port. So there are multiple ways you can connect to the TV. I use the HDMI eARC connection which allows me to use Dolby Atmos or DTS:X sound. - It comes with a remote control. - This soundbar has Bluetooth and WIFI connectivity and connects to several streaming systems like Google Cast, Apple Airplay 2, and Spotify Connect. - You can download the LG Soundbar App, which will allow you to connect to the soundbar to update firmware, configure the soundbar, adjust settings and access the AI room calibration to analyze your room and adjust for the optimal settings in your room. - It has seven EQ presets you can select between. While those seven presets work well for TV watching and general use, I do wish it would have come with a custom equalizer though, as I like to set my own EQ settings when listening to various types of music. - The most important thing about a soundbar is the sound. I was a little concerned about whether I would feel like I was missing anything since it does not come with a separate subwoofer. However, I am happy to report the LG Eclair 3.0 channel soundbar performs great and has more than sufficient bass levels so that a separate subwoofer is not needed. It sounds great in all TV applications. I can clearly hear the sound of the voices and background music is crisp and clear, plus it gives a good bass response when watching movies, with the deep rumble you look for in certain soundtracks. I also like to connect via Bluetooth to listen to music on the soundbar. I have tested it out with a variety of music genres, soft and loud tracks, acoustic, and both male and female singers. I am happy to say it sounds great with all types of music. The LG Eclair is a high quality, great-sounding speaker that will work well for all applications.

After having this for a little while I have to state that LG has made a product that I would love to say OUTSTANDING on as it actually works 100% better that the Samsung one that I had which I would have to turn off them back on to get any sound from my TV to the sound bar the only thing that I do miss is the sub woofer. With that being said this LG product was so easy to set up that I personally didn't have to read the instructions which is very unusual for me which is the biggest pro about it two wires one was the HDMI and to other was power once it was all plugged in all I had to do was turn on my TV and turn it on for the first time then set it to what I wanted to do. After that it turns on when you turn the TV on and sounds great. Which is another pro to this item I actually have a Fire TV so when I do stream a movie it actually sound like your there in a movie theater even without a sub woofer and it also picked up the Fire TV remote with no problem, it even works with the Fire stick is you don't own a Fire TV. If you happen to have a computer that has Bluetooth or WiFi it will even connect to it, the only con that I will mention that this sound bar has it the fact of no sub woofer at all comes with it and it might be an item that has to be bought

I have used various sound bars from other companies along with various audio products from LG mostly their speakers and earbuds before. I have always liked the LG audio products as a consumer product. Setting up this soundbar is quite easy. You can use the HDMI earc, optical cable, Bluetooth, wifi to use ti Google Home, or Apple's version of it which i think is Airplay? I have been using it with google home intergration, Bluetooth and optical cable. I have it set up with my phone through bluetooth and Optical cable with my monitor. Using the remote is simple and you can chnage the settings like between bluetooth and etc quite easily along with changing the volume or turning it on or off. This also works with Dolby Atmos so you get better sound as well. The sound bar gets loud enough and clear enough as well so it is a step up fro0m using your TV or monitor's built in speaker unit but below a home theater setup. This is partially why I prefer sound bars because you don't need a lot of space for it vs a whole speaker setup and you get good sound out of one like this.

As expected. Does its job. Nicely packaged. Cannot comment on long term performance.
