    Dont buy. Bought a new tv and asked for a good sound bar to go with it. This recommended this, so I bought it. After setting it up, discovered i wanted to add some Rear Speakers to the system. The Rear Speakers that work with this soundbar were discontinued 2+ years ago. Seems like this product is EOL and they are just trying to dump everything. Would not have purchased this if i knew i wouldn't be able to add on to the system. And good luck trying to find the rear speakers 2nd hand, as they are 2+ years out of production I am finding none for sale.

    I bought an open box. Not sure how to rate this. First off on setup I found the Auto calibration did zero in my room. The sound in different modes was essentially better than how the automatic mode chose to eq the content. I had to turn the woofer way down because it was what I would call wooly meaning boomy and not tight- but lots of people think that is good bass. Had to return since the center channel decided to turn itself off more than once. The bar I heard in the store was pretty impressive, I think this one had more than the center channel defect going on. Went with another brand.

      Hi, Billy. Thank you for sharing your experience with the LG Soundbar (SC9S) model. We appreciate your detailed feedback and understand your concern about a product that doesn’t meet your expectations, especially after a promising demo in-store. It sounds like the auto calibration may not have suited your room's acoustics, which can happen in some setups. Many users find that manual adjustments yield better results for their specific environments. If you decide to give LG another chance in the future, we recommend experimenting with different sound modes and manual EQ settings, as they can often enhance performance. If you have any questions or need assistance, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport. Our team would be happy to help. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you find a soundbar that meets your needs. ^Juvy LG

    Designed to complement the larger LG oled TV's with custom mounting brackets. After 2 weeks of use we unplugged the sub woofer.

      Hi there, Dan. We appreciate your honest feedback on the SC9S soundbar. We're glad to hear the soundbar worked well with your LG OLED TV setup, but we’re sorry the subwoofer didn’t meet expectations. If the subwoofer was producing unwanted noise or performance issues, we recommend checking its placement (ideally near a wall but not in a corner) and ensuring it’s paired properly. You can also adjust bass levels through the soundbar’s settings to suit your preferences.

      If you're still experiencing concerns, feel free to reach out to us directly on social media @LGUSSupport so we can assist further. We want you to get the most out of your audio experience.

    This unit has all as the old cliché goes "the bells and whistles". I I would classify myself as technologically experienced having for years built mild computers. I spent the better part of four days trying to get some semblance of decent audio. It was unsuccessful. I returned the unit.

    Sound bar isn't as good as expected.

    The sound bar doesn't appear to help make the dialog easier to understand as advertised. The subwoofer sound is acceptable. Overall, the volume with the subwoofer has to be turned down because it's too loud when attempting to make the dialog loud enough to get the full affect.
