LG S95QR Review: The Best Soundbar for LG TV's?

Ғылым және технология

How good is the LG S95QR for Movies and Music? In this video we'll break down where this 2022 Flagship soundbar from LG excells and some areas of where it falls short. I wasn't a fan of the LG SP11RA from 2021 but this new generation has seen some improvments that are worth talking about. Let me know what your thoughts are on this New Bar in the comments.

    Great review thanks, I've just bought one but not connected yet (TV not coming for 2 weeks). One question not answered is a stand for the rears - I cannot find any which are compatible apart from the Vebos. The Mounting Dream ones you recommend in another video are not compatible, nor are the Sanus universals because they can't accommodate the power lead. Do you know of any alternatives to Vebos? £130 is pretty steep after all I've recently spent! Thanks bud.

    PS5 VRR and ALLM with LG TV supporting these features via the wireless wifi casting device from LG, whats it called ? And does PS5 connection work wirelessly ? What about connecting a PC at the same time with high bit rate out to the sound bar ? Can you feed surround sound from Cubase via the HDMI at high bit rate ? Lotsa questions. Want karaoke capability and PS5 with this solution.

    I like my LG SL5Y with (bass blast) much better than the q990b, I just bought a Samsung and am very upset that it has few low frequencies compared to the cheap LG with (bass blast). Is there any way to fix Samsung? I tried all the equalizer settings in the application, nothing can add such a large amount of low frequencies as on the LG with (bass blast) - voices on the LG sound much bassier, more brutal

    Tjenare! Vad har du för budget ? Om du inte är i behov av en stor subwoofer och surroundhögtalare så kan jag verkligen rekommendera Harman kardons nya Multibeam 1100! Gör ett grymt bra jobb av att simulera surround ljud och röståtergivningen är det bästa jag hört från någon soundbar vilket gör att den passar bra till både vanlig tv och film :) Men Sonos beam 2 är också ett väldigt bra lite billigare alternativ 👍

    I bought this soundbar in August, connected via EARC to Hisense U7H 75" TV. In PCM mode, dialogue is very clear from the surround speakers at low volume. It is just ok when I crank up the volume for movies but I did not get much of the Atmos "effect". I actually finds it lacking in Bass but several reviewers said it is "boomy". Music quality via Airplay is below ok (I am a headphone user and have several flagship headphones with good DACs and Amps), I am disappointed with the "Meridien-tuned" music quality. Anyone here who feels your soundbar is amazing or great, would you please share your settings with me? I am tempted to sell it away and get the Samsung instead but I am unsure now since I do not get to test them.

    I'll tell you a little secret I learned and how to get this thing to really come to life with music and movies as I am an big audio guy myself. So turn down all the speaker settings, then take bass and treble and put them to minus two. Go ahead and recalibrate the system. This will make it come to life and makes the music and movies sound so much better. Let me know how it goes for you. I'm sure you and others reading this will thank me later 😂.

    I’m really liking my S95qr. It’s huge step up from LG soundbar I had years ago. Also, given my HORRIBLE experience with the Samsung 990b, I’m very happy with the LG. I had bad drop out issues with the Samsung 990B which is just pathetic for a flagship. The Samsung WHEN working properly probably was slightly better for overall “surround sound” and phantom sound from the sides of the room, but in my room just barely. Again given the drop out issues I returned and got the LG S95QR. I guess this is maybe personal preference but I actually like the sound of the LG a little better. I also think the center channel and dialogue sounds better on the LG. I will say I think the subwoofer could go lower on the Samsung but the LG can do just fine and is quite nimble as well. Overall the LG is so much better than Samsung 990b just do to it working properly! I’ve had no issues with the LG dropping out.

    I had the opposite experience. Pathetic sound quality from the S95QR, so I returned it and LOVE the 990B. It's just a night and day difference between the two when it comes to the sound field and quality. I had the exact same experience with the S95QR as a popular reviewer on another channel (and he had LG send him a 2nd unit in case the first was a lemon).

Get the feeling the speakers are good but the software is an absolute mess. Need to get it to the original Steve Jobs standard so that “it just works!”……. Charging £1700 and then constantly tinkering with it on an app that doesn’t work properly i mean come on LG ffs 🤦‍♂️
