    As an owner of this soundbar setup I can confirm mostly what was said here. The sub out of the box is very overwhelming. All of the same controls from the app can be done on the remote but the app is easier to use. The app will fit with you and once I got it to comeback to working it works going forward. I find this soundbar to fill the void when just wanting to sit down on the couch and watching a streaming movie in a nice setting, no need to go to the media room to fire up the big setup, blow the pictures off the wall and then return to normal life as this does the trick in most cases.

    Hi ShortCircuit, I appreciate your honest review. LG S75Q is what our family purchased and its the little brother to the LG S95QR also running at 5.1 and let me tell you all here it is STELLAR. It has not disconnected the TV to black-screen or caused any other devices to disconnect yet. So far we have been using it for a week. The bottom line for our household is it has Night Mode, where it reduces all bass and reduces all treble and keeps a 'mid-sound' which is good for people sleeping above or below the sound system on different floors if in an apartment/or house at night time. When turned off and in normal mode, the LG Meridian patented sound is much like a live concert. Why buy the S75Q over the S95QR? It's more compact, less bass and overall better for a medium sized room such as the one in this video for total bass immersion. Coming from an "audiophile" upbringing and listening to all kinds of speakers, and a few models I tested at the store from LG this year, I want to recommend S75Q for the best quality sound, for the least cost if you want true uncompressed 5.1 sound. This one is 5.1.2 sound which with the .2 at the end means more immersion. Download the LG soundbar app first, and enable Surround mode. This turns on your rear speakers. We hear: Raindrops falling down over our heads, we thought we were wet from the movie, yes really! We hear: A medium-loud bass if you set the bass up to level 6, which is max, you'll be totally immersed. We hear: Beautiful treble sound and chorus singing from live choruses picking up all highs and lows of men and women, and yes, I'll be PC here, even transgender voices. We can listen so low as 5 volume and still enjoy it and have not gone above 30 as its so so so so loud. Live concerts sound (almost like) you are there. CDs and high-quality Blu-ray music disc albums blew me away, just like a live concert does. Here are some tracks from one audiophile to another to test out your speaker system's acoustics from highs to lows. Sorry no 3D surround tests in music that we have used yet: Signals from Bob - Ott. This is a bass music test and used with real artists today to test their bass speaker. Be careful not to overpower your bass speaker or it will blow with this one, so like any test start low volume. Listen now with your sound sys: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qomoztSbf87efpM.html J-E-N-O-V-A Dreamweaver by Nobuo Uematsu. This is a full vocal with real chorus, real orchestra and a few synthesized instruments. You will test the full capability of your sound system. This song has less bass, and more treble than bass as it is a high pitched good/evil song which connects with your soul. Listen now with your system: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZK6qqq6AgNPRf5M.html Gus Black - Paranoid cover, modern recording, on Californification OST. This is a great live test if a band were to really play in your living room. Instruments: Piano, drums, acoustic guitar (amplified), bass guitar, 1 synthesizer, human voice. This song is to be played for a live concert in your livingroom so you don't blow the pictures off the wall. Listen now with your system: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iYChutuiZa-2Xco.html A last note: If you're listening with LG Meridian set it to either AI detection mode or Music mode in the Equalizer (EQ for you audiophiles but normal people don't know that one) for the best effect of a live sound. Meriam-Webster Dictionary audiophile noun a person who is enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound reproduction. Edited for grammar. Thank you for this review, Short Circuit Exsosus The Swedish audio phile guy.

    I upgraded to this from the SN11RG just over a month ago. And wow is the difference night and day! The app works with no issues for me. The sub is to the left of my TV which I think is probably the best position. The center upfiring speaker makes dialog sound like its coming from the center of the TV. My room is the standard height for a room so the upfiring sounds work really well. I didn't find it hard to set up this system at all. It took hardly any tweaking I found. It may be pricey but it's definately worth it. Especially if you own an LG TV. I have the LG C2 83". It may not be the widest soundbar but the sound is so spacious you'd be fooled to think there were separate speakers for front left and right.

I can say room setup is huge, but overall it's a great sound system for the price I got it. That and a 5 year manufacturer warranty on the panel out of the box made it an easy win for me.

    I am a home theater installation technician and personally, i never understood my clients who pay this much money for a soundbar. You could get a true entry 5.1 setup for less or a decent one for the same price. The lack of wires is a plus but if you care more about sound quality the get a true 5.1, if you dont care as much about sound quality then get a normal sound bar. I just cant recommend a sound bar at this price range unless you have the perfect room for it. Great video though very informative and unbiased. Thats why we love this channel!

    I think a major problem with the setup and operation of the soundbar in this video is that the surround mode was turned on. It feels counterintuitive, but the surround mode should be off on this soundbar for the true audio to be heard. This surround setting is designed for the LG Soundbars that don't have rear speakers (they use very similar software and share the same app). When surround is on there is artificial surround mode from the bar itself and the rears (confusingly). This results in crossover bleeding between sounds that should be more or less discrete. It really makes a huge difference when this mode is off and the app is a huge element in the use of this bar. I have had zero issues with the Android app on my Oppo phone.

    I tried using it for gaming and noticed sounds that should have been coming from the front left and front right channels were completely missing. The only way to fix it was to set the bar to the "movie" preset so you better like the way it sounds with that enabled. The side right and side left emulation did an okay job of placement but audio was muffled there as expected. Rear left/right was good due to actually having speakers there. In summary, don't buy if mainly for gaming where positional audio is important. Fine for everything else. A proper 5.1.2 setup is better but not leagues ahead (I went with this ultimately). Soundbars have come a long way

    They aren't really though. Most people buying this type of gear are buying it because its 1. Convenient and easy 2. Neat and tidy. They aren't buying an AVR and configuring their own wiring and setting everything up manually.

    If anyone is looking into buying a higher end Atmos bar; in this video the connectivity issues are mention with regards to the app. I personally didn’t have any problems after the software update but as someone who also purchased a Samsung 990B and returned it… i’d much rather connectivity issues at the speakers dropping out as with the Samsung. I returned my first Samsung exchange it for it new Samsung 990 been still has the same connectivity issues with the rear satellite which is just pathetic. I settled on this LG sound bar and I have to say I was surprised at how much I liked it and how much better it was from my LG sound bar years ago. This bar had no issues with drop outs and it sounds great! The Subwoofer was little better on the Samsung and the overall “surround sound” was slightly better on the Samsung. Everything else is just about equal such as overhead sound etc.

    I own the LG S75Q and in the app I discovered there's an option that says something similar to "surround sound", that, when enabled, the height speakers don't sound at all. If you disable it, you recover the Atmos height sound.

    Serious question: How is wireless satellite/subwoofer speakers better??? They can lose connection every once in a while and that is enough for to stick to wired speakers. Which would never suffer from interference. I live in a big city in a big building, there's always like 100 bluetooth devices around me at any given time.

    Bought this after reading and watching many reviews. Got it to pair with Hisense U7H 75” TV via e-ARC. I am disappointed with it, particularly with its music capabilities despite stated as 24/96. I thought their Meridien collaboration would make it better but no, it’s a shame. I never hear any “booming” bass and had to turn it up. Of all the modes, only Cinema is useful, even for music.I am looking to sell this and get a better system, probably using real speakers instead of soundbar but I custom-made my TV console with cabinet for soundbar, had lots of faith in it. Buyers beware, test it if you can. I am in Singapore and didn’t get to test it in proper environment and can’t return because I didn’t like it. Very disappointed with this soundbar!

    Okay this annoyed me a little bit. Right after complaining that the subwoofer is too boomy, you’ve turned the “Bass” setting down to -5, but left the “WF” (woofer) at 0dB - and then complain about missing frequencies. You’ve adjusted the EQ, rather than the dB volume level of the woofer channel! That’s why you’re missing out on some frequencies!

The weird thing was, was when I first got it, the rear speakers were having connectivity/interference issues, like, a lot. I know I have several bluetooth/wireless devices around or near it, including my router thats 3" away from the soundbar. I tried moving or turning off these other devices to reduce the issues, nothing helped. I just realized that despite the devices still being where they are, the connectivity issue seems to have gone away. I have not done anything that would solve the problem lol

    Bought it 2 months ago. Just a week in, the rear right speaker stopped pairing. Lg came back with a new rear spear but even that didnt connect. So they took the entire set for service refering to an issue on the soundbar. Within a day they came back saying the issue was resolved. But the it still would not connect. Now LG says this is the first time they've come across an issue as such on the product. Now im home with no rear speaker searching youtube for an answer

    While my SN8YG was being repaired by Best Buy, I "rented" both the S80 and S90 - and while they were nicer than the SN8YG, I didn't hear as much of a difference as I would have expected. The S80 is the newer version of the SN8YG that I have, while the S90 is the one right below the one Dan is reviewing. I think another of my issues is the room shape as well. I have a glass sliding door with vertical blinds on the right of my couch and an open space to the left where my kitchen/dining room area is, so the Atmos stuff doesn't work nearly as well as it would in a better shaped room.

    Some of these soundbar setups are getting really impressive these days.. I still have a huge Sony Muteki 7.2 surround system, but flanking the TV symmetrically as an obnoxious 2.2 setup. While it looks ridiculous, they cost like $150US second hand a few years ago which is nothing compared to brand new gear and with some careful tuning it's honestly still quite good for movies and shows. Plus I feel like having 4 speakers and a sub spread over each side really helps to prevent the constructive interference Dan talks about - where certain frequencies change in perceived loudness as you move your head.

    I bought the LG SN9YG 2 years ago in November… I hate it. When it works, it sounds great. When it doesn’t work, it completely takes you out of whatever you’re watching. The two satellite speakers and subwoofer will randomly cutout for a few seconds then reconnect quite often. LG support and I have no idea why. Wonder if this model does the same thing.

    I was having the same problem - the speakers seem sensitive to any interference. Moving my wifi router to the basement (sigh) solved it for me - it wasn't that close to the speakers, or iven between them, just in the same room. Though I'm guessing that you probably tried that. So yeah... probably interference issues, but who knows how you can troubleshoot that...

    Just an fyi to people looking to buy. Samsungs sound bars greatly limit your settings choices and options if you don’t have a support Samsung tv connect to it. Also, placement is hyper critical with any sound bar like this. The only exception might be the Sony a9 speakers which handle placement a little better.

    LG soundbars need some extra anti-reflective/mat finish on it. When it sits in front of your lovely big LG OLED TV it will reflect the bottom of the screen back at you. Also need to have an option to turn off the lights on front of the soundbar. Nothing better than movie fading to black, entire room going dark and just having E-ARC text facing me.
