LG SP2 2.1 Channel 100W Sound Bar with Built-in Subwoofer in Fabric Wrapped Design – Black (Renewed)

I got exactly what I paid for here. It's my first sound bar, needed something better than the awful audio of a modern TV. This so far has made playing games with positional audio SO MUCH MORE IMMERSIVE (Dying Light 2 on Steam Deck has been my main test so far) and once again, coming from TV speakers, it's been nice in my opinion. Decent level of bass for just a soundbar. I'm quite happy with this in my house's living room, but I did choose to get one without a separate subwoofer. Keep your expectations reasonable if you're going this route, as well. The thinner width of the optical cable solution worked better for me than an extra HDMI cable would have. If you have an LG TV you still get full functionality with this. -Plug that optical cable into the back of the TV and down to the soundbar. -In your TV settings, change the "Sound Out" from TV to Optical. By default my TV remote was already controlling the sound bar, but the volume level was showing up as an X on the TV. In your LG TV settings, there is an option for this: Sound -> Additional Settings -> LG Sound Sync -Enable that, and for me audio went out entirely, so I toggled through all the soundbar's input options until getting back to ARC/Optical. Or power it off-on. The sound should return but now your TV remote shows the volume level when you adjust that. To avoid having to wall mount another thing, it would be great if this could attach to the spots on the bottom of the TV where there are screw holes for the feet. Don't know how realistic that would be for allowing different TV sizes. My display is on an adjustable mount and pulled away from the wall to bring it closer, and I don't want to position the sound further back than the display itself.

Bought this soundbar because my oh-so-expensive Bose soundbar refused to properly sync with my LG OLED65C8PUA. This one worked perfectly through HDMI ARC, allowing me to control both the TV and the soundbar through the LG Magic Remote. Sound quality is good for an all-in-one unit. Though it would probably be a bit underwhelming for home-theater applications (due to not having a dedicated subwoofer), for a bedroom or secondary TV, it works just fine. Certainly better than the onboard TV sound!

Let me start with a negative, I installed the soundbar and after having read all the reviews on the LG site and marketing for the product I was disappointed. The bass, even so it might be ok for a not so sensitive person when it comes to sound, felt disappointing to me. Next I did some tweaking, essentially cranking the bass up to max, and upping the volume it became acceptable for me. On a bright side it's good that the bass level can be adjusted. I have a small bedroom where this is mounted under a 40 inch TV. I paid like 80 USD for the refurbished version and explicitly didn't want to have a sub due to space. If you invest double of that you can get a very decent soundbar (from LG or Vizio, ..) with or without a sub providing decent bass. Taking everything into account (price, size, looks) I gave it 4 stars, but don't expect lots of bass. I would not buy the new version of this soundbar, I'd rather go with another one.

Easy set up, automatically synced with TV remote, beautiful sound. Highly recommended.

I was very underwhelmed at the sound output. They say they have a built in woofers but I couldn't get anything out of them. It was easy to connect to the TV but I ended up going with a better sound bar even if it isn't an LG sound bar. It was just a huge waste of money.

Without a subwoofer it sounds a little inadequate.

The LG SP2 2.1 Channel 100W Sound Bar with Built-in Subwoofer, Bluetooth, was priced right and works very well with my LG TV. Perfect fit for the room, TV and my budget.

Arrived in good condition. Tried to test before mounting and the power cord they shipped was polarized two pin instead of non-polarized. Found another cord and unit was fine. Contacted refurb group (Hyper Microsystems) and received the correct cord very quickly. Works like new. Looks like new. Integrates better with our LG TV using optical cable than our old sound bar.
