Customers have good things to say about the sound quality, easy setup, rear speakers, and Dolby Atmos. They describe the sound quality as loud and clear, with excellent surround sound that is perfect for movies. Setting up the device is simple and convenient, with no complicated speaker wires to hide. The rear speakers provide great sound clarity, and the Dolby Atmos feature fills the room with immersive audio. However, some customers have concerns about the bass, price, and connectivity. They feel that the bass could be deeper, and the price is a bit high. Additionally, a few customers have experienced connectivity issues with the wireless speakers.

I use this sound bar with my LG G3 TV and am very happy with the sound quality and east of setup. The integration of the TV and sound bar was very impressive. Other connectivity options include Bluetooth, wifi, HDMI-EARC, etc. Once connected to TV, sound bar settings, operating mode can be seamlessly controlled by TV remote itself. Another nice feature includes build in support for Air Play for wireless audio streaming. 4k passthrough works beautifully. with LG soundbar app on the phone, you can easily control the audio tuning, input modes, equalizer settings, adjust bass, treble, etc. Speaker setup went so smooth, just plugged in the AC cords to sub-woofer and rear speakers and it paired quickly in no time. Even though the cost of the sound bar was a bit high, I like the wireless solution that gives Dolby Atmos surround sound and the Air Play integration. It simplifies life in the family room.

First and foremost, if I could, I would rate this system at about a 92-93%, but given the option between 4 and 5 stars, I figured 5 is more accurate. This system sounds really fantastic paired with my LG C2 TV in my 200ish square foot gaming room. I'd originally purchased a sony HT-A7000 soundbar and sub, but struggled to get half decent action audio out of it using my PS5, so I returned it and the Best Buy home theater specialist suggested this, instead. At almost $700 less than the Sony system, it sounds much better and comes with the rear speakers (which, FYI, have upward facing speakers for Atmost and such). All in all, I'm very happy with this setup, it more than meets my needs. However, there are a few downsides, reasons why I wouldn't give it a 100% rating: -The wall mounting brackets are kind of mediocre. They do the trick, but they and the securing screws they come with (If I remember they're 4mm diameter, 6-8mm long) are just kind of okay. Wish they were more robust. More importantly, the wall brackets for the rear speakers are quite long, but only use a single screw to hold them into the bracket, and it's near the front of the speaker. With it "secured" in place, I could easily twist the speaker side to side and get front to back rock out of it. IMO, the rears, deep as they are, should've had 2 screws to secure them to the brackets. I fixed this by adding some double sided tape along the back 2/3 of the bracket, which is keeping the speakers in place. - The rear speaker cords are only 5' long, which was a bit short for my application. As such, they're more like side speakers than rear speakers. An option to get longer cords would be nice. Also, instead of the plug end of the cord being bent at a 90 degree, I would've preferred a flat plug with a 45 degree offset. - I spent about a week and a half getting this thing to function the way I wanted it to. Had issues with the bar randomly dropping all audio, which would return if I changed audio sources and then went back to the eARC channel. Contacted LG support, who, in their defense, got back to me in less than a day, and we ran through a variety of setup options to try to fix the problem. After 8 different setup varients, we finally tried unplugging the bar from everything and letting it sit a while to reset, then plugged it back in. I haven't had the issue since, but it was testing my patience for a while there. Also, if you do not have the TV's audio output setting to PCM, you'll get no sound from the bar. "Auto" mode is not good enough. Like I said though, once I got this thing dialed in, it sounds great and I feel like it was well worth the money. Just beware it does have a few minor draw backs, but none of them are insurmountable.

Paired this particular soundbar with the LG G3. I absolutely love it. The sound quality is amazing and the user friendly LG Soundbar app is perfect. Being able to control the speaker setup through the touch of your fingers is incredible. The Wow Orchestra feature sounds incredible. Plenty of great quality sound for your entertainment needs.
