Great sound quality!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm extremely impressed so far. After a lot of deliberation, I purchased this surround sound system, hoping that it was "just right" for my threatre room/entertaining space. I almost bought a Nakamichi system but they were out of stock at the time. Knowing that i could return it, made it easy to give this one a try. Both were on sale but this one was $100 less than the Nakamichi. I was a little bit worried that I'd be disappointed in the over all power of the LG system since there's around 30% more wattage with the Nakamichi. BUT, I watched the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan and it was so loud i couldn't comfortably keep it at even half the total volume that it could reach. Also, while the sound is dynamic when there are explosions and things, it's not extreme like many other surround sound systems out there. Much more reasonable. Don't get me wrong, when I'm watching something with the intent to, and knowing that the sound is a big part of what I'm watching, I really enjoy the parts that are louder for their intended purpose. But when I'm watching something where i turn it up enough to be able to hear the dialog and I have to turn it down when the sound suddenly increases, immediately followed by needing to turn it back up to hear the dialog. It get kinda old.

Overall a good sound setup
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a replacement for another LG that I had fir almost 8years. The sound is rich from this soundbar. Im not sure how mich the bass is giving , but I'll have to figure that out when I get the manual. A manual is not included you have to download it. The quick summary instructions that do come in the box don't help with the remote. If you're not tech savvy...like me this can be problematic especially when the bar goes out. All in all this is a nice sound bar and the independent speakers are a nice touch. I personally didn't have those set-up because they need to be facing the tv and I don't have the space.

Think twice
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would have liked to be able to write a full review but unfortunately, I bought an open box described as excellent condition, which should included all the parts, accessories and packaging. The product arrived without any documentation - owner manual, packing list, setup guide or warranty card, is missing specific screws that fit the wall mounting brackets, is dirty - greasy, dusty, has cat hair on all the parts and gunk in the speaker grill, it wasn't packaged right - the subwoofer was placed on its head and the protective bags that wrap the items were in the box but mostly not used to cover the items, and the remote was scuffed, making me think this soundbar was more than lightly used. I now can't set this up on time to watch a game and need to haul a large heavy box to a physical store to have this rectified. The least BestBuy could do is clean the product and repackage it correctly. I highly doubt the soundbar was tested for proper functionality.

Mind-Blowing Sound That Transforms My Living Room!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The LG 5.1.3 Channel S80TR Soundbar is absolutely phenomenal! From the moment I set it up, I was blown away by the immersive surround sound that truly replicates a theater experience. Cinematic Dolby Atmos & DTS:X Audio The Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support create an enveloping 3D soundstage, making every movie, TV show, and game feel incredibly lifelike. The height channels and up-firing speakers make a huge difference, giving me crisp dialogue, deep bass, and surround effects that fill the entire room. Whether it’s an action-packed blockbuster or a quiet drama, the sound is always balanced and detailed. Seamless Integration with LG C3 OLED This soundbar pairs flawlessly with my LG C3 OLED TV, and the WOW Orchestra feature takes everything to the next level. The synchronization between the TV’s speakers and the soundbar creates an even richer and fuller soundstage. No lag, no connectivity issues—just perfect, high-quality audio. Wireless Convenience & Room-Filling Bass The wireless subwoofer and rear speakers make setup incredibly easy. No messy wires running across the room, and yet, I get powerful bass that shakes the room without being overpowering. Explosions in movies and deep, rumbling sound effects feel dynamic, while music sounds clear and vibrant. Final Verdict If you want true cinematic audio without a complicated setup, this is the perfect soundbar. Whether you’re a movie lover, gamer, or music enthusiast, this system delivers high-quality, immersive sound that rivals a theater experience. Highly recommended!

Honest review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, I really like the unit. It gives a great sound. I only wish you got a little more sound from the rear speaker as it doesn’t always sound like they’re giving off an giving off a loud sound just tiny background noises you hear mostly, and the subwoofer a tiny more base.. You will need to plug in each rear speaker, And a plug for the center bar and subwoofer a plug. overall I am satisfied with the over all sound I am getting , and pairing it with my OLED LG tv was a breeze

LG S80TR Soundbar – My Thoughts After Using It for
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had the LG S80TR soundbar for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly really impressed with it. I was looking for a soundbar that could improve the audio in my living room without taking up too much space, and this one hits the mark perfectly. The sound quality is amazing for the price. It’s got that rich, full sound that you’d expect from a higher-end system, with clear mids and deep bass that makes movies, music, and gaming sound so much better. The Dolby Atmos support really takes the experience up a notch, and I can actually feel the sound surrounding me, especially when I’m watching action scenes or playing games with spatial audio.

Amazing sound system for a good price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The system is incredible, even though it says on the box that it only has 580 W, it is enough for the space where I have it installed, the sound is phenomenal. In addition, the quality of each of the sound nuances is perfect, very easy to install and configure… I recommend it 1000%

Excellent sounding system.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very pleased with this. It was extremely easy to set up and sounds great. Came with everything you need including a template for mounting the sound bar under your television except the 4 screws needed to actually screw it to the wall. Thats not such a big deal as all you will need are 4 screws and anchors. This system also has several different settings you can use to adjust the audio to your preference.

Works well with PS5 and Sony TV for Gaming
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked that the setup was very easy. It works well with my PS5 and my Sony A80K television. I had to modify some settings to optimize the performance for Dolby Atmos. Make sure you check your PS5 and TV settings to make any adjustments. The only downside I see is that the sub bass cuts off at a pretty high frequency, so you are missing some of the very low end. Its noticeable sometimes with music but not at all with gaming. I get big booming bass and its quite awesome. Overall, I am happy with the system and would strongly recommend for gamers.

Immersive Sound, Sleek Design LG Delivers

Good soundbar

Great sound quality
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality. I recently upgraded my living room TV to the LG C4 and decided to also upgrade my basic 2.1-channel soundbar. The sound quality is great, the subwoofer provides an impactful enough amount of base, and the rear speakers truly add to the surround sound. Pairing this with the LG C4, I was able to enable the "WOW Orchestra" setting so the TV speakers worked simultaneously with the sound bar. The only con I have is that I wish there was a way to turn off the display on the soundbar. The display isn't bright enough to be distracting, but I do wish it had an option to turn it off.

Bass is really lacking
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So i recently got the LG G3 and S80TR. The tv looks amazing and the sound quality of the s80tr is great but the bass is really disapointing and underwhelming. Ive tried adjusting the settings and increasing the bass to max but it almost seems like it isn't even on. I made sure the green light is solid and when i do the AI calibrating the sub sounds great but that's the only time. I have it set it bass blaster setting but it still is so underwhelming. Ive tried watching movies on hbo max, disney+ and bluray disc but its still really disappointing with the bass. For $700 its really disapointing

A Great Soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great mid-tier Dolby Atmos soundbar that delivers solid performance for the price. I highly recommend it. It didn’t get five stars only because I wish it included an extra HDMI 2.1 input. That aside, it sounds fantastic, works straight out of the box, and the app makes setup easy. If you’re looking for a system with satellite speakers, this one’s hard to beat at this price point.
