Side by Side Comparison of: Samsung vs LG

I am absolutely amazed at the sound quality of this sound bar. It was so easy to set up. It is light and portable and I paired it with my IPOD for a party outside. The sound was incredible, and professional even at a high volume. Very good value and I highly recommend to anyone.

Bought it for family members & had it sent to them. I was very concerned whether it would be good enough at this price. But, they were ecstatic!! Out of there minds!!! They are really liking it!! Now I'm hoping it holds up ok... It's going to be used a lot. Will do a followup later if it fails early.

Sound bar and subwoofer sounds amazing and works perfectly with my 2016 Samsung TV (KS8000) and its remote. One reviewer stated that the optical cable connector is too large for the optical port. I had the same trouble at first until I realized that the clear end of the connector is actually a removable cap added to protect the fiber strand from dust. It has to be removed before plugging in the cable.

I recently got a new 4K Samsung TV & what I can't understand is why the sound on the TVs are so horrible. You have to put it up to almost all the way just to hear it. I saw this sound bar & after reading the reviews & for the price I got it. I couldn't be happier. I now can enjoy my new TV with beautiful sound. You don't have to spend thousands to get great sound. I recommend this sound bar for anyone who wants better sound or to make the tv sound better. Love it.

Exactly what I was looking for. Works perfect. Adds great sound to my 65" Sharp Aquos TV. Offers bluetooth and several customizable functions such as treble, bass, and subwoofer adjustment. Samsung puts out great products so I'm not surprised. Highly recommend. Does come with wall mount brackets as well. Considering buying a second for my bedroom wall mounted TV.

This is a very reasonably priced sound bar that delivers theater quality sound. The unit will accept Blue Tooth, optical, or 3.5mm jack input. My TV is over 12 years old and did not come with an optical jack for audio output. However, my Direct TV box does have optical so I fed the sound bar from it. The sub woofer is wired with a nice long wire so you can set the speaker where ever you want it near the TV. The remote is small and easy to use. If you have an Android phone, there is an app that will replace the remote.Most important, and the reason I bought a bar, is that I have not heard voices this clearly since buying the TV 12 years ago. The details of the sound a very good and the sub woofer fills the back ground with sounds never heard before.For the price, I can't see how you can go wrong.

(Although the following may sound like it, I am not an employee of LG nor do I have a vested interest in this product!) You owe it to yourself to try this sound bar before making your final purchase; very sleek, stylish unit with high quality sound. If you're looking for big booming room filling performance, sorry...however, if you want a high quality upgrade from your current stock TV speaker system, you can't go wrong here. Had it setup quickly and most of that time was getting it out of the box. To give you an idea of how easy and versatile it is to use, I told my young daughter that she could play music through her phone on it, within two minutes and no help from me, she had her favorite song playing through the blue tooth connection! You can adjust the treble, bass, and wireless sub-woofer. I have my TV on a stand, the sound bar's low profile doesn't block my TV's remote sensor and the woofer fits perfectly behind the TV and out of eyesight. Very happy with this purchase and would buy it again and recommend it to friends.

I am very pleased with this sound bar. I purchased an LG 55 inch television a couple months ago which I love but the sound left a lot to be desired. With the close to 100° temps we have had for the last month my air conditioner has been going steadily and I had to turn up the TV to nearly 100% just to hear it. So I bought this sound bar and it has solved the problem perfectly. As sound bars go it is a good looking unit and if fit perfectly, (without the feet) under my tv. The sound is very good and I get lots of bass from the sub woofer. It was very easy to set up and the sub paired without a problem. I did use the optical cord and have not tried out the BT capability because I really have no use for it so I cannot speak on that. I use it in an average to small size room but I think it would be just as good in a large room. I had a comparable priced Samsung sound bar on my last tv and this one blows it away! I have seen some reviews that mention the bass is not very strong but I am a person who loves bass and find this to have a very strong bass. Use the settings to adjust to where you like it. Of course it is not an expensive surround sound but is more than adequate. I have only had this in use about 4 days so will update this review if anything changes.UPDATEI have used this for over a month now and it has performed flawlessly! I am still very happy with this sound bar and love that I don't have to continually turn my volume up and down like I was always doing when using the tv sound without the sound bar.

It's a solid performer and the value is right. Here is a picture of the height in case you're confused

The sound is very good with bass and treble adjustments as well as several preset sound configurations. The wireless sub-woofer is compact, adds plenty of low end, and paired effortlessly. The sound bar has a low profile (I didn't use the supplied feet) and fits perfectly in front of my 42" TV. I hooked it up with an HDMI cable through my TV's ARC port and can use my TV remote to control its volume. (My TV is also made by LG. I have been waiting for an LG product like this so I could be certain of its compatibility. I don't know if this functionality can be obtained with other brands.) It also shuts itself off after the TV has been off for a few minutes.

We ordered these speakers to use with a new projector to do movie nights in the basement and outside when it is nice. The sound quality is amazing. You can hear tiny details that I have never noticed from my regular television (birds chirping, leaves rustling, etc). The different audio settings were nice. Very easy to set up with the projector.

I purchased a LG LA6900 55" smart HDTV about a year ago and have never been happy with the sound. I knew this was a shortcoming when I bought it, and otherwise, I like the TV. This sound bar makes all the difference in sound quality. It has the option of using either optical or HDMI connection. When I first started shopping, a customer service rep at the well-known blue big box store told me optical was the best connection; that HDMI splits the signal. Sounded good at the time. However, after researching the connection options, I learned that the consistent recommendation is to use the HDMI ARC connection on the TV if available. Some articles said there was little noticeable difference between optical and HDMI, but still said HDMI was preferable. I downloaded the Owner's Manual, and it describes the optical connection first, HDMI ARC next, without offering a preference. I used the HDMI connection and didn't test optical. However, I'm glad to have the optical option because I only have 3 HDMI connections on the TV and I may need all of them in the future.Setup is super easy, even though the instructions that come with the unit seem less than robust at first glance. The instructions are mostly pictorial, but are clear and cover various connection and setup options. The TV has a setting for an external sound bar that includes auto AV sync. I plugged in power to the wireless sub and it was immediately synced in. My TV is on a stand that has 3 open glass shelves. I put the sound bar on the middle shelf and the sub beside the stand. Wall-mount brackets are also included. The sound bar has several sound effect settings, but the only one I use is "cinema." This setting produces rich, room-filling sound while preserving dialog clarity. The sound bar has lots of options for connecting other devices, which I haven't explored. I bought it to add sound quality and clarity to my 55" HDTV, and it more than satisfies that reason for purchase.

I never in my life expected myself to purchase a Sound bar. EVER. I'm an Audio Engineer and have emptied my pockets to A LOT audio equipment. Apart from the Home theater and Studio in my home, I wanted good audio in my bedroom as well. I have Extra Loudspeakers, Towers, Bookshelf Speakers, and Subwoofers Just laying around the house, BUT my wife did not want beefy speakers in the bedroom, so I had to resort to another solution without spending too much, And as for one who doesn't spend alot of time in the bedroom I just needed something Quick, Easy, And Obscure (sort of). I began to just search for a soundbar under $100 with a subwoofer included, found this guy "Used" in Like new Condition, Come to find out it actually was just new, and in a Open Box so that was a major plus! It was as easy as Plug N' Play with the included Optic Cable. I already Knew where to place the Sub in the room, so I just tuned the soundbars easy settings to my liking and my Wife is actually very pleased with it, Wouldn't recommend to an Audiophile, BUT for basic Uses and Better than your average down firing TV speakers. This was a Major upgrade. Would recommend to Average Consumers.

I bought this repackaged from the warehouse for a pretty substantial discount. It was not the wireless one, which was my mistake, but I have so many cords hanging one more wasn't going to matter.The instruction manual was a copy and it was the wrong one, but I like figuring things out. It took me about 15 minutes, got it up and running. There were not even instructions about how to turn off my TV's speakers to override to the soundbar, but I am pretty savvy. Not.Now to the sound.. My daughter no longer bangs on my bedroom wall because I have the volume of the ridiculously poorly designed rear speakers set at 50 so I can hear the TV. Now the sound bar and woofer are at 14-20. I am not going to be blasting them, so I am very happy.I took off 1 star for not having the installation and instruction manual, only the quick start.

While it is a bit shy on features I certainly can't complain about the audio quality. For an average-sized living room this soundbar is more than adequate. Depending on the lighting however the display can be quite difficult to see (I wish there were 'Bright' and 'Dim' modes). The 4-5 canned "sound effects" (Voice, Music, Sports, Cinema, etc.) all seem somewhat contrived to my ears, with oddly shaped response curves. There are only three audio inputs: Digital, 3.5mm jack, and Bluetooth -- I'd like at least a couple more 3.5mm jacks, maybe even another digital-in butt this isn't designed to be an entertainment center.So, no: It isn't perfect ... but for $125 or so I doubt you'll find a better system. For a single room with a single TV and modest requirements it's probably ideal.Tuck the (wired) subwoofer out of the way (in a corner if you are a true bass-head) and the soundbar nearly disappears (visually and aurally). For someone wishing to take their TV audio to the next level above the tiny built-in speakers this is absolutely a viable upgrade. Go for it.

I have a Samsung smart TV and my only problem with my TV is that the sound just isn't great. These TVs tend to have a couple of small rear facing speakers. The TVs are super nice, but the sound quality is a bit of a let down. I decided to order the sound bar as a fix for this problem. The sound quality on this thing is fantastic, and it gets LOUD. It makes the movie watching experience much much better.The only issues that I have are that Samsung has made it nearly impossible for the volume buttons on your TV remote to be able to control the volume on the sound bar. That means that you must add an additional remote to your collection. That puts me at 4 remotes and it is getting a little much. Additionally, the sound bar drops all sound for about 1 second every couple of minutes. I have compromised by keeping the TV volume high enough so that all sound doesn't drop off, but I'll be changing how the sound bar is connected to the TV to see if I can fix this.

Everything was fine except for the fact that the digital audio cable supplied with the HW-J355 does not fit in the unit or the back of my new 40" Samsung TV. I don't know if it is a defective cable or the unit itself has a bad digital audio out port on the rear, but it would not seat fully in the rear of my TV either. Going to try another (better) digital audio cable(Toslink). If the new cable does not seat fully in the HW-J355 or my new Samsung TV it will be returned.

Awesome sound bar!! If you have a smart TV don't forget to take the plastic tips off your digital cord that comes with the sound bar... Sadly I had to google how to install the cord to figure out the tips needed to be removed:/

Great sound bar, just don't use the LG wireless connectivity to the TV. Had awful audio sync issues along with a high pitched background tone. Using the HDMI Arc channel, works great. Just need to ensure you use the TV as the AV receiver. Bass module is surprisingly good, to the point where we needed to level it back because it was rattling the entertainment center.Bought this for my parents as a replacement to their 15 year old 650w 5.1 Sony system and sounds amazing compared to it. Due to the size of the soundbar, mid level range isn't overly rich, but highs are crisp and neat without hiss or tin, and the module handles low's well for it's size. For someone who's not looking to invest in a full component system or want something simple for the 65 and over crowd, this is great.Very pleased with it

The sound is fantastic. I was skeptical at first due to the sound bar's slim size, however it covers the high, mid, and even low range very nicely and sounds balanced. Voices are very clear and sound natural. The subwoofer packs a very good punch and is more than enough for a pleasant cinematic experience, it delivers that "low rumble" often experienced in theaters and really adds to the experience. The "Sound Effect" button located on the remote is a great feature, as in order to get the most out of this sound bar and subwoofer you will want to adjust the "effect" pertaining to your current activity, rather this is streaming music via bluetooth or watching a cinematic film. There are some small functionality issues with this product. Every time the sound bar is turned on, the display located on the center of the sound bar lights up, and personally I find it much too bright when watching television or a film. You may turn off or dim the display by using the "Sleep" button located on the remote. However, the sound bar must be manually dimmed every time the sound bar is turned on. The display will illuminate if a volume adjustment or other setting is changed in the "Display Off" mode.I originally made this purchase because I was looking for a slim sound bar that would fit under my 42" LG HDTV (2015 Model with Legs) without blocking the picture. This sound bar fits very nicely and does not look out of place.Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and would definitely recommend it.

I have a 40" LG LED TV in the bedroom that did not have very good speakers. I was able to set up this system in about 10 to 15 minutes. I used the included optical cable to connect the Sound Bar and turned on the system. It did power up and connect to the Bluetooth Sub-woofer without any issues. I did have to keep the bass low and the Sub-woofer turned down to keep the sound from being "muddy". After getting everything adjusted...the sound quality is good and there is more than enough bass. The only thing that I found annoying is the display on the Sound Bar, which you can turn off by clicking on the "sleep" button on the remote. You will see the selection of "Display Off" and then just let it turn off. The problem is that the display comes back on when the unit is powered off and then restarted. This is somewhat annoying, but is a minor issue. This is why I am rating this as 4 stars instead of 5.

Very pleased with the sound but a slight pain in the butt installing the sound bar. Installation instructions are weak; added more confusion than necessary as it is pretty easy to mount on the wall (4 screws) and a cable connection or two. Bye-the-way, make sure you install the cables first before you screw it to the brackets as it will be nearly impossible to connect the cables once it's mounted to the wall. What was confusing was the connectivity options: Bluetooth, HDMI ARC, HDMI, or Optical… quite frankly they all sound the same as I toggled through all the options. Plus, I have a new LG TV but many sound bar functions do not work through the Magic Remote supplied with the TV At least the volume control does, so once you select the output mode, it's a great sound bar. Another note… I'm surprised some reviews state the woofer is sub-par. I wholly disagree… I think it has plenty of thump. There is also a separate subwoofer control so you can add more dB if you want.

Amazing sound quality. Only short coming is when listening to high quality music and maxing out volume, it sounds overwhelmed trying to hit multiple ranges and keep quality. Still rocks my showers and basement almost as hard as the living room it's in. Perfect compliment to my bar top. The bar and sub itself are beautiful and the display on it is super helpful. Bluetooth and the remote work great. Even the button press on the bar itself is smooth and solid. I should have read closer, I was awesomely surprised when it came with an optical cord. I would recommend.

This bar just happens to fit perfectly in our shelf space, and I admit that it was purchased on dimension and to match a new LG television. The sound is great and completely compliments the television. My only complaint is that the mode/input lettering doesn't disappear after changing mode or volume. The lettering is a very bright white. Apparently this can't be changed. Otherwise it's a wonderful unit, very well built, and the best sounding of my other sound bars in the house.

It's ok for small room, Bass is not enough for my taste.

Product is good. Expected the quality and bass. I wish it would pair with the direct tv remote.

Slightly better than the sound coming out of the TV but can't even compare to the cheapest BOSS computer speakers (which are $20 more expensive).

I just received my sound bar yesterday. I been listening to music all day and this morning I watched a movie. The sound is good but not great. I have a JBL standalone speaker that has Bluetooth and AUX and sound including bass sounds better than this bigger two piece set. This one is louder but sound quality is just ok. Will keep it but I'm thinking for my small office instead.

With 120 watts of power it does not have sound you would expect. Bass is acceptable. A little disappointing

This is for the Samsung HW-J355 120 watt sound bar. I didn't have high expectations but this really sounded anemic and weak on all settings other than Night mode. On Night mode it was ok and dramatically better than any other sound setting. Our J-series 60" Samsung actually has comparable or better sound from it's speakers on all other settings. We never managed to get the wireless connection from our 2015 Samsung TV to connect to the sound bar and after trying with Samsung for twenty minutes, we gave up. Optical worked just fine.I was not pleased that I still have to use the sound bar remote despite having a new 2015 Samsung SUHD TV. This seems incredibly basic - allow the TV remote to operate both. The same goes for using it with Uverse, none of the remote codes worked on our S10-4 remote. Blame AT&T for that possibly but it would be a big plus to us. It's possible I missed a way to do this but we found no way to get around using yet another remote.The subwoofer is ok but really basic. They give you a long thin cord to connect to the subwoofer which is nice.The decision to try another system came watching Interstellar - with any bass or a fuller sound spectrum this system just seems overwhelmed and we had trouble even understanding speech over the music in noisier scenes.It's probably a good buy for a no-hassle, minimal wires setup for a TV with truly awful sound but for larger TV's my guess is that you won't be thrilled with this system. I do think the value for the price is pretty good.

This sound bar is OK, but it was ostensibly made to go with my model of LG TV, and I have had a lot of trouble getting it to synch with my cable remote. Now I'm at the point where I use a separate remote for each item - cable box, TV and sound bar. Sound quality is good, but probably not worth the extra $50 I paid to get the model that was made for my TV. there are still movies that I've recorded where the sound bar has to be turned up to max, even though when I watch regular network news, I only need it at 25% volume.

When it works, the audio is great. I have found that when coming from a commercial or a tv show introduction the background audio comes through, however the main audio track with the vocals are muted. I have to rewind the program or pause it and then restart for the main audio to come back. I changed optical cables and nothing helps. It can be very frustrating

The wireless subwoofer works 90% of the time , even after I've moved it all around to find the best spot , even 10 feet away from the unit sitting in the middle of the floor it just stops working . It's so annoying , I'd like the put it behind my couch or at least in the corner of the room but it won't connect , which is crap. I tried to return it but just missed the window. I'm going to contact LG to see if they will do anything but it's doubtful . Should've bought the Sony....

The soundbar and subwoofer sounded great for the first couple of days. Then the subwoofer stopped working, but not completely. I could hear a faint muffled sound when i put my ear directly next to the woofer. I even turned the sound on pretty loud and I still could barely hear the subwoofer. I tried hooking it up with the HDMI (ARC) and the optical. I called LG and after going thru some SOP steps, the rep told me to send it back. Amazon was obviously great about sending out a new one. The new sound bar sounds great now. We'll see how long it lasts. It is really loud and can put out some major base. If you can get one that works, then you will not be disappointed with the sound and the price.I have not been able to figure out how to connect it with the HDMI(ARC). I was hooking it up to a new LG smart TV that has the first HDMI input designated as (ARC) (as opposed to Samsung having it on input 2) and changing the sound settings to External Speakers (Optical/HDMI (ARC)) and there was no sound coming thru at all. As soon as I connected the optical cable (and left the sound settings the same as above), the sound came in right away. I'm not sure why it's not working. The TV only has 3 HDMI ports so it was actually good that the soundbar has the optical connection since I need to use all 3 HDMIs (PS3, Cablebox, and Chromecast/Amazon Fire stick).

Pros:1. Product Design: Absolutely stunning including the sub-woofer. surface of sub-woofer is patterned which makes it look more high-end product.2. Auto-On function: I connected this sound bar to PF1500 (LG Projector) using Bluetooth connection since projector is about 13 ft away from this sound bar. When I turn on the projector with projector remote controller, sound bar automatically turns on as well.3. Bass is solid4 Inter-operability with LG smart TV is convenient.Cons:1. Biggest Problem. Bluetooth Connection unstable with LG magic remote: LG Smart TV's Magic Remote controller uses Bluetooth technology to connect with TV, which may interfere with audio over Bluetooth connection. However, LG developed a technology called "SoundSync" to minimize this interference. I tested and confirmed that when Magic Remote controller is in use, Bluetooth sound is unstable. To explain, audio over Bluetooth connection "stutters" if you can understand what I am trying to explain. However, when I put down the Magic Remote controller, audio becomes stable again. This might be a deal breaker for people who purchased this for Bluetooth connection.2. Auto-On function: There is absolutely no pass-code for connecting Bluetooth. This sound bar is always Bluetooth paring ready. when someone connects to this sound bar, it turns on. if you live in an apartment, your neighbor can turn your sound bar on without you noticing it. This auto-on function can be turned off, but that way you have to turn on both your TV and sound bar separately. I wish there is a pass-code for initial Bluetooth pairing.3. LED indicator in the middle is annoying: A few reviewers mentioned this earlier. It is actually disturbing when watching movie in a dark room. You can turn the LED completely off, but this way, you won't see volume changing indication. There is a dimmer function that led indicator becomes less bright. Still bright though. I wish this LED indicator on only when I make changes in sound.4.Mid sound is weak: Personally, I think Vizio's $98 model sounds a little better for the price range

Streaming music via bluetooth constantly cuts out. I've used several different devices and it does it on all of them. I've tried from all different distances. This was my main reason for buying it. Also the wireless subwoofer cuts in and out. Its less than 2 feet away from the sound bar. I should have bought a soundbar with a wired sub. What a waste. What junk. We have a vizio soundbar at work that works and sounds great. It wasnt rated as high on amazon which is why i bought this one. Shoulda bought that one anyway. More money doesnt make for a better product.Update.. If the bluetooth source isnt moving it cuts out a lot less. This means i have to take my phone out of my pocket an set it on a counter. Sound is pretty good as long as its not cutting out.

Item cut in and out for some reason. But when it didn't cut it the main sound bar sounded ok. But the woofer box sounded horrible.

Unable to coordinate voice with sound. Tried every trick. Seem like many others have the same problem. Sound good for music in you don't watch faces.I thought it would do better when it is matched with Samsung TV. Nope

After setting everything up we realized the subwoofer is not wireless so you have to run the wire. Since we don't like wires going all around the house we are returning it. We have to buy the other model with wireless subwoofer. The name should not include wireless is should be sort of wirelsess.

The remote was defective and there was NO LED INDICATOR LIGHTS on the sound bar.Other than that, it operates manually. I was a bit disappointed to say the least.

It is not compatable with all the newer Samsung TV unless you have their expensive TV's with their propriety TV 'Sound Connect"\ I purchased it with a new Samsung thinking they would not need two (three with cable modem) remotes. Sound is good for the price but you have to use the seperate remote that comes with it for on off and volume control\ Add another remote on the coffee table!!!

Good sound quality, a much better improvement then the TV speakers. Only issue, you can't program other remote controls to control the volume unless you have a Samsung TV. That requires having to keep the speaker's remote handy and it's pretty small (1" x 4") so tends to get misplaced in between the couch cushions.

Bought the same bar, but somewhere else after returning this one....It didn't come with a remote🙄

Disappointed have too keep adj sound , tv sound better than this

This is a good product if you don't have a Smart TV!! We JUST (5 months later) figured out that the reason our Smart TV choices keep "buffering" on a CONSTANT basis is because of this sound bar! We spent so much time questioning our internet provider, on the phone constantly with tech support and Amazon Prime, just to figure out on our own that it's the sound bar that is kicking our Smart TV choices out of use. We are SO upset about this and have to use our TV without the sound bar. The only way it doesn't interfere with our TV is when we are only on cable channels. It is too late to return or replace it so we're just out the money! It's very disappointing!!

Once I finally got this thing working as expected, I was thrilled with it. I have an LG TV and tried another brand of soundbars, but it didn't have the HDMI/ARC connection I preferred. Optical and wireless connections cause an audio lag, so I really wanted to try the HDMI/ARC connection. After hooking it up, it worked fine, but as soon as I changed the input on the TV and went back to watch television content, I started to have issues. The soundbar would stay on TV ARC when I went back to my Satellite input, and I would lose my video signal. If I manually switched the bar to HDMI IN, the TV would automatically switch to TV Speaker out versus the preferred HDMI/ARC External speaker, and I would then get sound from BOTH the TV and the bar!! No matter what I tried I could not get them to sync properly, when I switched one device, the other would switch as well. I guess it's my fault for assuming LG products would work well together!I found a workaround where I would change the channel and a "refershed" signal caused the bar to switch to HDMI In, as expected, but after about two weeks of working like this, it's back to what I first mentioned and nothing works to remedy the situation. I am now stuck using one of the other connections, and am back to dealing with the audio lag. Both the soundbar and the TV have a setting to adjust the lag, but neither works perfectly. Very frustrating!!As for the sound, I would give it an 8/10. I felt it was a little bass heavy, so I actually have the night mode on all the time and it sounds better. When watching an action movie, or listening to music, I would probably turn that off for the extra kick. Cranking this thing up rocks the house. It's really impressive for its size and price, but too bad I had to send it back due to the issues above. LG was useless whenever I tried to call and get help.

The sound bar keeps turning off while we are watching the tv. The only way to get it back on is to turn the television off and back on. (Turning just the sound bar off and back on doesn't work.) We've called customer service and their only advice is to switch from an optical cable to an HDMI cable or Bluetooth. We bought an HDMI cable to try but regardless, the sound bar should work fine with an optical cable. Has anyone had the same problem?

Bluetooth connections is not always good. Sometimes it skips and it can not be fixed.

VERY unhappy with this product. Sound kept coming and going, and recently it has quit altogether, coming back on a few minutes later. Checked all connections; nothing seemed out of order. Tonight, the sound went out again and it was out for the count. Naturally, we've had it more than 30 days and can't return it. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on this unit! Going elsewhere to purchase a better one.

Received the speaker in the mail on Wednesday and on Thursday it was right back in the mail headed to Samsung repair center. Bluetooth feature worked great but got low sound when connected to my Samsung TV. I called tech support and we trouble shooted for about an hour. Decided to give it a second chance, expecting a call back from their repair center.

Almost worthless, I have reverted to the TV speakers because they provide better sound. This unit has become very "tinny" sounding and there does not seem to be anything I can do to correct it.

worked great for about a week then the internal amp went kaput and i returned it for a newer updated unit.

Sound is horrible. Very low toned.

Really not impressed with this unit at all.Sound qauility leaves much to be desired.

Broke after 10 months - just wouldn't turn on one day. I went through the hassle of packaging it up and sending it back to LG. They allegedly fixed it and returned it after a few weeks. Now, 8 months later, it broke again in the exact same way. Just stopped turning on. I called back and had an absolutely terrible customer experience. They refused to stand by their product in any way - the warranty only lasts for one year and the warranty post-repair only lasts for 90 days. They don't care at all that they sold me a defective unit. I used to buy LG products regularly and recommend them, but not anymore. LG, you've lost a customer for life.

Total waste of money!!! Very often, the bluetooth stops working and it is not possible to connect any device to it (phone, tablet), even if the bar is discoverable at that time. The only way to fix that issue is to restart the bar. Very frustrating!!!

I have a couple problems with this sound bar that have made me regret the purchase.First and most importantly there does not appear to be any security on the Bluetooth and no way to turn off the ability to connect devices to it via Bluetooth. There is no way to change the default Bluetooth pairing passcode, meaning anyone close enough to your home can pair with it, and blare music in your house in the middle of the night, or interrupt what you are watching on tv with polka music. I'm not really sure why they did not set it up to be more secure. The only way I have found to block this is by having another device on and paired with it 24 7 (not ideal).I also ran into the ocassional issue with sound cutting out. It is usually after a moment of sielence. When someone starts speaking again the first word or so that they say does not actually come through the speakers. I don't know if lg has resolved these in newer versions, but I will be avoiding LG in the future because the first issue would have been very easy for them to protect against and if they didn't think it would be a problem they have no business developing products with Bluetooth capabilities in my opinion.

8 months later and the subwoofer started cutting out. Called support, followed their steps to resync it, and they broke it further. Now it won't connect at all. Next they tell me to ship it to them and that it would take 21 days to get it back. Between this and the problems I've had with the TV, I'm never buying LG again.

Sub stopped working after ONLY 4 1/2 months. This is very unfortunate because before the sub stopped working the sound quality was great. I was very happy with my purchase until the sub went out. The sub will connect play sound for a bit then disconnect and the sound goes away, it really reduces the viewing experience. I have tried to re-sync the sub but that does not fix the issue. I expected more from an LG product. When spending more money for a quality name brand product you expect the item to be quality and work properly, unfortunately that was not the case. I expected more for an LG product. Buyer Beware and purchase at your own risk.

Do not buy! Amazon sent me two and both didn't work. The first made a horrible sound probably a bad speaker. The second they sent me stopped turning on after a month. Then when I went to return they wanted to charge me 35 dollars to restock the broken sound bar and had to fight for my money. The sound was excellent when it worked but I wouldn't buy again. We ended up buying a vizio sound bar sub and satellite speakers and are much happier.
