Reviews
I have no experience with other soundbars.
I give it 4 stars because I expected something more, but I think it has nothing to do with this specific soundbar.
My only objection has to do with the Dolby simulation, which is faint, and the Atmos, which is simply non-existent. Dolby becomes noticeable when you raise the volume quite high, where the reflections on the walls start to work.
The logical conclusion in the end is that with €300, it is impossible to have Dolby sound...However, it offers many other positive aspects that are really worth it:
- A much better sound than the TV's.
- A decent sound system for the home for music. Full sound, clear, and with good bass.
- Easy installation.
- Discreet and beautiful, takes up little space.
- Easy connectivity without cables to the TV.
- You can connect your mobile/tablet/PC at any time and have music throughout the room from the device's applications!*Used with LG Oled 55" TV

Did you find this review helpful?The best soundbar I have bought so far. I am completely satisfied with the volume, quality, Dolby Atmos performance, and appearance. I also have an LG Oled Tv-B9, so they have excellent synergy. Additionally, there is the possibility to connect other 2 surround speakers, the LG SPK8. Finally, I bought it at almost half the price from the original, so I think it was a good deal.

Did you find this review helpful?3. The Bluetooth connection is disappointing.
Update: After 5 months, my opinion is that this soundbar is completely average with an almost non-existent subwoofer. It works perfectly with LG TVs. Dolby Atmos is only on paper for marketing purposes. If you want good bass, then do not choose this soundbar

Did you find this review helpful?Quality and clean sound.
Better connection with HDMI ARC.
Requires adjustment from the LG app.
Otherwise, it plays like a 2.1 system. Once you set it up and the Atmos works, you will realize that it is worth every last euro you spent. The best purchase I made in 2019!Translated from Greek ·- Power

Did you find this review helpful?I have been using it for a short period of time, for music, movies, for whatever I want to listen to. It is very powerful, very powerful for a soundbar. You don't enjoy it at low volumes, but at high volumes, you really feel like you're in a cinema, in a bar, etc....!!!

Did you find this review helpful?If unfortunately you have a television with Dolby Vision but without Dolby Atmos, then you easily solve this with this. I bought it together with the 2 extra surround speakers and they have amazing performance for the money they cost.

Did you find this review helpful?Very impressive sound! The only thing it needs is power as it can be wirelessly connected to the TV and its woofer is wireless. Powerful bass and clear sound
