Not the quality of LG TVs

Miratecman 1/22/2023

Disappointed with quality. Had to send back to recondition this new soundbar. Very muffled sound. Better now but not worth the price.

My hubby had surprised me with a sound bar for our living TV. Well our TV is over 5 years old and compatible with the TV. As you could imagine I was crushed. So its sitting on the TV stand unplugged. Until we get a SMART TV.

Awesome Sound Seamless Operation

AllenT 12/2/2022

We bought this LG Sound Bar to match our new 65 Inch OLED LG TV. Hooking to the TV and integrating into the system was a true plug and play experience. No fuss no fight and no bite. A perfect match to our TV. I wouldnt hesitate to use this with any brand of TV. The sound is great. The most awesome feature is that we can actually hear and understand the dialogue.

kculp 11/30/2022

Very economical and in terms of bang for the buck... simply fantastic. The virtual surround sound isnt bad at all and I am coming from a 5.1 system and preferred rear speakers. It works great - we would like a bit more power to the subwoofer would be my only caveat to this review.

TEStoney 11/6/2022

We bought this about 2 months ago. We had previously had a complicated surround sound system with several components and wires it sounded great but was a pain to set up and operate. We moved and wanted to simplify so we purchased this sound bar. We couldnt be happier..great sound simple to use great features allow you to alter the sound to suit your preferences

Not the best sound bar. I was coming from a 2.1Ch and this 3.1Ch bar sounds worse than that one. Voice is not clear DTX Virtual is lacking overall not a good fit.

Sound bar not working

Svano Ascani 10/23/2022

Bought it at Best Buy on 9/18/22. Did not work after installing. Called Lg customer service and they gave me the run around for 35 days after saying that they would send a tech. On the 35th day they told me that I had to mail in and it would take four to six day to get it back. I told them to get lost. Took it back to Best Buy and they gave me a new one. No thanks to lg customer service.

Great Sound But Awkward Controls

Najrellim 10/14/2022

The Sound Alone is worth getting this sound bar system. We LOVE it. Plugging in the digital cable that comes with it is a feat for a spideruse needle-nose pliers to grasp the end that goes into the recess on the sound bar whoever designed that clearly never tried actually doing it The downloadable app must have created by the same guy. Its not worth the effort to download it. Unless paired with an LG TV the only way to see the sound effect in use is by looking straight down at the sound bar or else clicking through each one until you a good match to what you are viewing. Even the LG name tag is mounted upside down on the sound bar. All of those things are minor nuisances totally outweighed by the great sound of this sound bar system. I would still buy it againbut I might be tempted to first look at other similar competing products to see if their apps and remote controls work better.

This LG Soundbar has been stealing the show in my house. It is so simple yet stylish yet powerful. I am very happy with this purchase. It was very easy to setup and very user friendly when it comes to the app and being able to use it with multiple devices. I have a different brand TV and Was a little worried it wouldnt work but I guess it is brand friendly. This soundbar really enhances my tv watching experience mostly when its movie night with the family.

A solid choice for apartment living rooms

supernitesh 9/21/2022

This is my first experience with the LG Sound Bar and it definitely delivers. Setup Setup is a breeze. After you connect your cables and follow the first few instructions rest of the set-up is pretty much automatic. Loved how optimized it is with my non-LG TV. The package includes just a sound bar subwoofer a fairly simple remote w/ batteries and power cables HDMi not included Connectivity - Bluetooth connection is easy and the sound bar itself also has a HDMi port for your other devices like DVD player or play station Sound Really good sounding device if you do not stick to the standard mode. DTS Virtual:X creates a decent quality surround sound effect particularly in smaller rooms which is why I recommend it for small apartment situation like mine. Voice output is quite clear even in situation where you have lower decibel dialogues. Rich full sound when you use high quality music sources. Bass is not super punchy and there is a room for improvement here but definitely not a deal-breaker. Downsides - While it is missing some of the latest in sound technology like IMAX Enhanced Center Up-Firing speaker you wont miss it in smaller rooms. But if you are looking to purchase this for a bigger living room situation I recommend upgrading to a S80Q or S90Q instead. Verdict Definitely worth the price for first time users. For advanced audiophiles I would recommend upgrading to S90Q and above. Overall pretty happy with the purchase.

Fred S in Centerburg 9/21/2022

I recently purchased the S65Q to go with my NANOCELL 90 SERIES 2021 UHD TV. The sound quality is great and fits perfectly in my small living room. With its programmable settings I was able to adjust the sound to my hearing needs.

TNT799 9/9/2022

I have been thinking about buying this product for a long time and finally took the plunge. I bought this unit to install in my fifth wheel camper as the sound of the TV wasnt the greatest. The installation was straightforward and the sound is night and day better. Installation was straightforward but didnt realize all the features until I installed the app for better control a few days later. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for better quality sound

whirlpool2 9/4/2022

I like the sound bar fine. Fairly basic but a good value for the price rnage. Using this in our bedroom so main reason for getting it is to be able to hear dialogue without having to crank up the volume such that the loud segments wake the non-viewing spouse. I mounted it directly to the TV and ended up with front pointing down. It gets the job done but the manual isnt real clear on what is the front. Also manual doesnt clearly state how to set-up the TV remote to control the sound bar volume so had to go on-line and do some research. Those are my only disappointments and both are with the manual.

Outstanding sound easy to use and priced right

Capricess 8/14/2022

The S65Q is perfect for those who want to improve on TV speakers or have a hearing problem. The bar has just enough sound fields and controls for Bass Treble Sub Woofer and Center channel to help nearly anyone hear clearly. Music sounds full and not raspy like so many other bars. The set up is plug and play. I used the HDMI ARC input and it automatically connected to my cable remote. I have tried bars costing 4 times as much and the LG S65Q performs much better. If you want a system that gives you total surround to hear jets flying past your ear or heart pounding base that can break glass this may not be for you.On the other hand if you want clarity the fullness needed to make TV and movies sound complete enough base to make others say Turn it down then this bar is for you.

Pretty Good

Jcan214 7/20/2022

When i received it I was excited to set it up with my LG TV to see how they paired together it was turned out pretty good given this was my first LG experience I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. With summer kicking off we have been getting the most out of this unit. Still havent connected it to my phone but once i do im sure it will be a party starter. Its got some standard features that are easy to go thru but paired with the LG TV it really brings out the sound.

Lg great sound cheap price

Samsungdad 7/20/2022

I want to start off by saying I received this LG sound bar at a discounted rate for my honest review. This budget sound bar is a great bang for your buck. It has all the premium features a much more expensive unit would have at a quater of the price.My favorite being the ability to synce with my LG television so I can use one remote for my whole setup. The sound bar has some of the best and loudest speakers coming out such a small unit Ive ever heard. The preset sounds are a nice touch and the lcd screen is bright and responsive

Voxman 6/7/2022

My first soundbar Ive bought. Since my wife and I are getting up in years it has been increasingly hard to hear dialogue clearly on our new tv LG OLED65C1PUB. Bought this soundbar and very pleased now. My only complaint was the instructions and subsequent attempts to get help with tech support were very frustrating to say the least. After many attempts to get soundbar integrated to tv properly we finally have it working properly.

Kiops007 6/3/2022

The LG sound bar gives you the theatre experience right in your own living room It is amazing how a central located sound bar can make you hear different sounds coming from around the entire room in different directions. I like how you can choose to use only the sound bar while watching a movie or choose to utilize both your tv and the sound bar together giving you an even closer experience to the theatre. The wireless Bluetooth sub woofer gives such depth when it comes explosion and thunderstorm sounds. Almost as if the storm is inside the house Dont think this product is only good for movies and tv shows try using it for parties to play music or even better to watch a live concert of your favorite band It creates such an authentic experience that you will feel like you are in the crowd right in front of the stage they are performing on I recently used it play music for a party and could not believe how well you could hear the music no matter where in the house you were including out back on the deck I received multiple compliments from my friends who are all interested in purchasing this same product Powerful product that I would recommend to anyone looking for a sound system upgrade for their entertainment system

Needs more bass

firehawk396 6/2/2022

I received my LG LG S65Q and no damage to box or contents.. The soundbar has optical and HDMI inputs for connecting wired audio and video sources to expand connections. It has HDMI 1 in and 1 out a USB 2.0 connector an optical input and a power supply plug. The remote is simple and easy to use and comes and allows you to change connections. You can switch listening modes with the click of a button. It paired easy with my existing LG TV Plug in HDMI cable and power cord we were up and running. We stream TV Movies and music. The sub woofer is wireless. The bass is lacking that deep bottom and I look for that especially with movies that have deep drops etc. I actually thought that something was needing adjusted and then realized thats all the bass you can get out of it. The main soundbar is loud and clear. One complaint about the soundbar the mesh covering will get dusty and if you have pet will easily pick up pet hairs. I wish it had Dolby Atmos. It has different sounds settings AI Sound Pro Music w/Meridian Clear Voice Game DTS Virtual:X Standard Cinema Sports and Bass Blast / Bass Blast + that you toggle easily back and forth. Cinema mode gives you the most like being in a movie experience. The sound of guns and explosions is life like. When listening to music the bass is very weak and lacks that boom. It has Sampling - 24bit HI Resolution Audio. It also comes with a wall bracket mount if you choose to mount on the wall.

Radek244a 6/2/2022

It has a very modern sleek design. It is not too big therefore can be stored in many places. The sound is very loud and clear. You have a multiple choice of different kind of connections such us bluetooth optic hdmi.. etc. Another great thing about it is that you can download an app on your phone and control all the settings such as volume different sound types and more. If you have an LG tv you can control the soundbar with your TV remote which is great. Saves you from having multiple removes when you have everything built into one. We highly recommend it.
