Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty.

I had this for almost 2 weeks now and for the price you cant beat it. This is the closest you can come to theater listening with a center channel package as I have a nice Klipsch set up with 2 10 subs needless to say Im very happy I got this for our living room.

Bluetooth issues

Parker Campbell 2/20/2023

First of all this soundbar is great. The woofer is cinema quality and its really elevated my movie experience. That being said the bluetooth for external devices such as my record player and phone cuts off after about 10 mins of listening. Its really a bummer because otherwise this machine is tops

No speakers are compatible

Barnrat1113 1/1/2023

I bought this speaker at Best Buy on sale as a last years model. I was also sold a set of lg rear speakers that I was told were compatible. After trying for two hours to get the speakers to connect I find out the speakers are not compatible and there is only one rear speaker system that is compatible and no one sells them anymore. Speaker and sub sounds OK. But Im left with something I didnt want. I would have paid more for something I wanted. Yet I was I convinced that this was a better way to go. Why would lg sell something that isnt compatible with its own product?

GSeidel 12/13/2022

Installed it upon arrival remote did not work from the get-go. I was on the phone with LG support very difficult to understand due to a strong accent of the customer service rep. They sent me a new remote but this did not fix the problem. Packed back up and sent it back to Amazon.

Hyah 12/10/2022

Do not buy this. Customer service is a long painful process. When playing music from my phone through Bluetooth the sound bar shuts off at least once per day and I have to reconnect each time. Have done all trouble shooting and software updates and nothing has worked. Now I have to ship it for repair. Such a waste of time and money.

An excellent Dolby Atmos sound bar

insomniac 9/25/2022

I bought these as they were the best value Dolby Atmos sound bar I could find. 3.1.2 channel provides clear dialogue. Along with the rear speakers this sound bar sounds really good especially Dolby Atmos content. Bass is adequate but not very powerful in my opinion. But for a discounted price of highly recommend this sound bar.

Bar had a couple minor but annoying issues

lhsiv 9/21/2022

The bar does not connect to wifi and the wireless subwoofer cuts out interminably. I have sent the bar back for warranty repairs. When the bar is working the quality is amazing Hopefully my set was a lemon and I get to use the bar with all the features functioning.

Good Sound

EC115 8/5/2022

I bought this about 3 months ago. I have had difficult with quality at times. The speaker gets a small crackle sound however LG seems they will replace or repair the unit. When it does work the sound is amazing. My only slight critique is that it takes about 15 seconds for the subwoofer and the purchased separately rear speakers to turn on. However this is only an issue when you are streaming music from your phone. The set-up in the app to connect to wifi could be a bit easier. Takes me about 5 times to get it.

Vbjen77 8/2/2022

We purchased this about a month ago and have been really happy with the sound Our old one started to cut out so it was time for a new one. The only thing that would make this a 5 star product is if the bar itself and not just the sub was Bluetooth connection to the TV. Other than that sound is great

One day Ill know how it works.

Soundless in Seattle 7/18/2022

Bought the unit two months ago and it doesnt work correctly. The app performed poorly although eventually the bugs magically worked themselves out. Then once it was up and running the subwoofer wont stay connected. So it takes in and out randomly. Ive tried working with customer service but thats not going so well. Been awhile since they said Id be receiving a box to send the unit in for service. When the unit is working correctly I do like it though. And the app does have some good features for adjusting the sound bar. Eventually one day I imagine I will be satisfied with it. But for now my satisfaction with LG soundbars is pretty low.

Tbryant11366 7/11/2022

This was not a cheap run of the mill soundbar. I was excited when I got it delivered. It worked fine for about 2 months. Then the sun stopped connecting. I have spooked to lg about this and been waiting for more than a month to receive a box to mail it back for service. Not a good experience so far.

Never Buy an LG Sound Bar

Zer0 3/23/2022

My LG sound bar and sub was great while it work. They pushed out a software update that destroyed my sub woofer literally will not power on and because the update was out side of the warranty they are doing nothing about it. I dont recall companies being allowed to brick their old devices with no consequence but thats the LG way.

Great sound clumsy setup

John438 2/17/2022

Ive installed this sound bar with an LG 73 OLED display. After owning this sound bar for several weeks I would say that the quality of the sound is great but its taken me a while to understand how to set it up to work with my TV. It took me a while to educate myself on how to connect the sound bar. Maybe its just me but it took me a while to realize that the eARC connection over an HDMI cable was preferable over the optical cable because it gives the display more control over the sound bar. Im also still struggling to get Google Assistant to work with the display and sound bar combination but this may be how I set the display up so I am not ready to point the finger at the sound bar. Other than that I feel the actual performance and quality of the sound produced is excellent. I would encourage LG to work on the interfacing a little.
