LGSC9S 3.1.3-Channel Perfect Matching Soundbar to the OLED evo C Series TV, Dolby Atmos, WOW Orchestra, WOWCAST Built-in with Wireless Dolby Atmos, Rear Speaker Ready, Wireless Subwoofer (2024 Model)

I am very pleased with this. Matches great to evo series LG tv. Good integration. Some details:Not a replacement for a home theatre set up sound system, but does a great job to give the TV great sound.Subwoofer is better than expected and adds a lot.WOW Orchestra is not so wow. That's feature where you can use sound bar with TV speakers for more immersive sound. I think sound bar sounds better without the TV speakers going.Dolby Atmos actually seems to work well. We were watching one movie that had birds in background in forest scene. Was excellent presence. Did not seem to be coming from sound bar.Has extra hdmi input so using hdmi eARC does not lose you an hdmi input on TV. Have blu ray player plugged into sound bar and selecting HDMI 2 on LG evo OLED tv selects it while also handling the sound functions well.Settings that are working best for me (long time HiFi interests):- sound formats: Cinema expansive stage but does not sound right. AI Pro sound does not sound great to me, but better. I like best Standard selection. UPDATE after a week with it. I still like Standard sound best if on a movie or regular television show, but I've found on some YouTube music choices or on concert videos (vs movies) on Apple TV, the Standard mode selection does not sound good. Why music in movies sounds so good but not some music of other sorts, I have no idea. When I experience that, switching to sound mode AI pro or Cinema work much better for some reason. AI sound pro mode might be sweet spot if I decide I don't want to bother to change it (which is quite easy to get to and change and change back depending on what you are watching. This is a setting on the LG TV and very easy to get at and toggle.- And with that selected, sweet spot for me is bumping up level on subwoofer and also on bass a bit over the middle settings. So, not all the way up but not flat, center, either. Sounds great on voice, news, movies, etc.Massive improvement in TV sound with some depth, oomph, bass, and robust middle. I get the weaknesses of this or any soundbar compared to a full HiFi system. So the get is simplicity and integration. This will not confuse your family members. I cannot comprehend the reviews here that suggest sound is no bette than that from the TV alone. The TV speakers are unusually good but the sound is so limited compared to with this sound bar--it's a huge difference.Con: I could not get the sound bar to connect to WiFi in any attempt. LG Soundbar app just could not do it. I do not know why. Was on same SSID, etc and following instructions on app. So, learned how to change settings with remote to get sound I like (and you can set main sound type (again, I liked Standard best) on TV with TV remote snd then use sound bar remote to tweak sound. Not terrible. And the sound I like works well for everything so I don't expect to fiddle with it much in the future.I would totally buy this again. PS. I buy a lot on Amazon and bought this here but returned it was shipping got delayed so went to get it at Best Buy.

Takes some getting used to how to operate and set up properly. Not overly complicated just not intuitive. The app for the system is definitely a must. Once you have control through that, making adjustments to your liking is much easier. Sound quality is decent compared to an actual hi fi system. It’s a little expensive for what it is but could be much worse imo.

Forget the theater, this is sooo much better. Also connected with ear buds as soon as they were taken out of the case. My 80 yr old husband really is enjoying his birthday present.

This soundbar offers improved sound compared to my LG C4 TV alone. I'm impressed with how much better the bass is on music and the improvements that I hear in voices when watching TV.I turned on the TV speakers with the sound bar enabled—WOW! Orchestra processing does help music quality.Installation was a pain, as I'd already mounted the TV to a VESA stand. I could mount the sound bar successfully without removing the TV from the stand. Watching the LG installation videos several times helped.The sound bar looks great under the TV. Overall, it's an excellent match for what I needed.
