Sound to blow you away

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, the huge box arrived, it was very well packed and the vast majority of the packaging could be recycled (top points there LG). I've only had the soundbar about a week and have been playing around with it constantly, much to the annoyance of my flatmates. I removed my old soundbar and plugged in the new one and was instantly impressed. I've only got an A-class LG OLED, so found out it wouldn't attach directly to my model, not a problem, I just attached the new bracket to the wall. My TV found it straight away and that's when the fun started trying to work out all the settings. I think I've discovered HDMI is probably the best (Bluetooth and Optical are also available). There are various settings available either through the soundbar itself or through the settings on your tv. Something I discovered a little later was the LG Soundbar App, which is amazing! It made life so much easier. I went further into the settings to discover what else it could do and realised that I had to connect it to my Google Home. Something else that's really impressive is the AI sound setting it sets up the sound to the best available for the source available. I have various inputs going into my telly which range from a BT Freeview Box to a 4K Firestick. I've also viewed programmes/movies using Dolby Vision on it, which is a whole different experience, and during an action scene I was literally blown away (I was half expecting the neighbours to come knocking on my door). I know I don't have a C-Class, but you know what you don't really need one, the tv can also use multiple speakers including the tv AND soundbar which is great. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, especially if you've got an LG OLED, it brings a whole different dimension to the experience. Good points - the sound is great, very clear and handles various sources with ease Bad points - I think it could be a little clearer about the app on the set-up instructions, once you've found that out, life is so much easier.

Fantastic Sound!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had the LG SC9S for around a week now and I’ve been putting it through it’s paces. Starting from the beginning, it arrived in quite a large box! There was a fair amount of excess cardboard in there to take up a lot of empty space around the various brackets included. Inside the box was the soundbar itself, the remote, the subwoofer, a replacement stand for your LG OLED with a flat base and extra height to ensure it stands above the soundbar, a wall mounting bracket for the soundbar, and two spacers. The soundbar itself is beautiful. It’s relatively compact with a smooth top minus one round grill for the center, up-firing speaker. There are control buttons on the top-back of the soundbar. The included brackets are relatively plain and functional. The remote is of the typical, tapered LG style and is of cheap plastic. I’d like something a little nicer with a soundbar in this price range but it gets the job done. As I currently have an LG C3 OLED, set up was a breeze. Plugging into the eARC port it was picked up automatically and just worked. The TV controls the volume so apart from setup and balance/mode adjustments I don’t need to touch the soundbar remote itself. Downloading the LG Soundbar app will also allow you to adjust these settings from the app. The soundbar visual interface consists of three lights in the front-center that change based on your input. Switching between modes triggers feedback via a pleasant voice. There is no visual settings mode and the included instructions are quite sparse. Luckily it’s fairly straight forward and I was done within a few minutes and didn’t’ have to look back. The sound output from this sound bar is really fantastic. After trying out the various modes I think Standard works the best for me with all “speakers” set to the default and bass/woofer turned up to max. You get loud, clear mids and highs and super punchy base from the relatively compact subwoofer. I’ve watched quite a few movies and shows over the last week and I’m extremely happy with this soundbar and how it integrates with my OLED. Highly recommend!

Is the WOW Bracket enough?

I’ve had the LG Soundbar SC9 a few weeks. I’ve been fighting the urge to send it back since. It’s not awful, but don’t believe the hype. I’ve probably been spoilt by my other soundbar. By comparison, the LG Soundbar SC9 sounds tinny, lacks definition – especially with dialogue – and is inconsistent when switching streaming service apps. I was eager to try the soundbar as I have a 55" LG C2, and the SC9 (offering the WOW Bracket, WOW Orchestra, and the WOW Interface) seemed like the perfect match. As it goes, the WOW Bracket is a perfect mounting solution. I don’t know why all manufacturers don’t implement similar. It’s raises the TV higher than I expected (for clearance of the TV’s infra-red receiver), but that’s not an issue, and together they stand well on a cabinet. I intend to wall-mount the combo, so the bracket will likely prove invaluable. When it comes to WOW Orchestra, I feel it often doesn’t sound as good as just the soundbar by itself. The AI Sound Pro sound profile is also hit-and-miss, and I often choose the Standard or Bass Boost sound profiles. Speaking of bass… Whilst the highs and mid-tones can be a bit shrill, the bass is quietly unassuming. There have been times when I’ve forgotten about it, only to be surprised by some thunderous sound effects. The speaker module itself is a good size. Just about right to be inconspicuous. I feel the WOW Interface is a gimmick. It’s not readily accessible and provides little meaningful control. The same goes for the remote control. I much prefer using the TV remote for day-to-day sound profile changes, and then use the app for finessing settings. As for the audio feedback when switching sound profiles, it can be grating and is best left alone. AI Room Calibration Pro made a minor difference. Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced content, and the received audio, haven’t impressed me at all. I end up using the app to lessen the impact of the Triple Up-firing Channels and Tiple Level Spatial Sound. I have just found it all too distracting when trying to consume and appreciate content. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend the soundbar. When tinkered with it can be decent, but it really shouldn’t be such a chore. For the suggested retail price, I know there are far better alternatives, as I have one. But, if you can wait to get this on a significant discount and don’t mind tinkering with the settings during consumption, the potential sound that can be achieved is ok. The WOW Bracket is the main saving grace.

Wonderful sound. Great looks too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I currently have a SC9S soundbar system to go with my 55" C3 OLED TV. Everything works just fine and as advertised. A friend of mine has the last years' 77" C3 TV and the S95QR soundbar system. He is now thinking about going to a larger theatre sound system and his SPQ8-W sub-woofer may become available. As both system sub-woofers are wi-fi connected and from the same C3 time period would the SPQ8-W sub work in my system? It would seem to give me deeper bass as the driver is larger and with more power. Thanks.

reply from LG Digital Care Team

Hi Jak, thank you for sharing your feedback. It’s great to hear your SC9S Soundbar is performing well with your C3 OLED setup. Regarding your question: the SPQ8‑W subwoofer is not compatible with the SC9S system. Each LG soundbar model is designed to pair only with its specific, included wireless subwoofer, so mixing models—even from the same year—won’t connect or function properly. If you need further assistance, feel free to email lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com. ‑LG Digital Care Team ^Rich

Superb product

We got this item in a couple of months before and this I excellent. We paired it with my existing LG QNED tv and it’s excellent. The sound is very clear and crisp and the bass and treble it generates it noteworthy. I can be connected via Bluetooth or WiFi with different devices which is a plus. Really like and recommend it to everyone

The sound and bass is so impressive and sound clear; the television speaker was amazing in my opinion but the sound bar system has completely changed everything. I have a TV that is compatible with this sound bar system and I absolutely love the fact that you can connect it directly to the bottom of your TV easily and securely. This is great for space saving and also saves you from having to fit a shelf to your wall if you don't already have one. The Subwoofer isn't huge which is ideal but do not let it's size fool you. The bass is extraordinary! Overall I am completely inlove with this purchase not only for the sound and it's elegant look but for it's ease of use. The connects to the TV through either optical or hdmi and the Subwoofer connects directly to the sound bar (wireless). You can alter the sound you want for example cinema, music through the TV.

Cinema sound at home. Finally.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I own an LG 65qned866re tv and was already happy with the sound from the tv but this soundbar, the SC9, has taken it to another level. At no point have I wondered what was being said in any film or game so far. Dialogue is always clear. The bass speaker is not a constant rumble of sound but instead it actually does remind me of being at the cinema where, when the bass kicks in, it makes you feel the action without drowning out everything else. I own both the ps5 and Xbox series x consoles. I have the sound bar connected to the tv using e-arc and one of the reasons I love this sound bar is that it passes through Dolby Vision gaming, 120fps etc from my Xbox to the tv with no issues at all. There are a variety of sound options with the soundbar and I must admit some features I have not heard of before. What are DRC or Neural-X? I need to find out. I tend to use the phone app to change some settings for the sound bar. I just find it easier to see what’s going on that way rather than use the included remote. Although its taken me a few days to get comfortable with some of the features of the sound bar it is well worth it for the massive improvement it has made to my gaming and film experiences.. Looking to buy the rear speakers to really put me in the centre of all the action.. Advantages: -Truly Cinematic sound. -It’s been rewarding to play around and hear how each mode affects whatever you are watching. -WOW Orchestra brings some real clarity to older films and dvds. Annoyances: -Somethings are not immediately intuitive. e.g WOW Orchestra switches off if you enable DRC or Neural-X when restarting the tv. Dolby Atmos is not as good as I had hoped but I think it might need more tweaking on my side.

Fantastic soundbar

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an avid home theater enthusiast, I've always sought out the best audio equipment to enhance my viewing experience. After much research and consideration, I decided to invest in an LG soundbar, and it has been nothing short of a revelation for my entertainment setup. The moment I set up the LG soundbar, the difference was palpable. The clarity of dialogue in movies and TV shows is exceptional, thanks to the soundbar's precise audio reproduction. Whether it's the subtle whispers in a tense drama or the booming voice of a movie narrator, every word is crystal clear. Music playback is equally impressive. The soundbar delivers rich, full-bodied sound that fills the room, capturing the nuances of each instrument. From the deep bass of electronic tracks to the high notes of classical compositions, the LG soundbar handles it all with ease. But where the LG soundbar truly shines is in its immersive surround sound capabilities. Watching movies with Dolby Atmos content is an absolute treat—the soundbar creates a 3D soundscape that puts you right in the middle of the action. It's like having a cinema-grade audio system in the comfort of my living room. The build quality of the LG soundbar is top-notch, with a sleek design that complements my TV and decor. The connectivity options are plentiful, making it a breeze to integrate with various devices. In conclusion, the LG soundbar has elevated my home entertainment to new heights. It's a purchase that I'm thoroughly pleased with, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their audio experience.

Super Soundbar

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband recently installed the LG Soundbar SC9 on our LG TV. I was expecting it to be much larger but I was pleased to see it was a sleek and complimentary design that didn’t dominate the TV wall. There’s a definite marked improvement in the sound we receive since we’ve installed it. Really impressed with the clear, enhanced sound we now get from the soundbar. I especially noticed it when we’ve watched films in the evenings but my kids have also enjoyed the superior sound for all their cartoons too. Would definitely recommend as a great upgrade gor all the family.

Never I have experienced sound like now

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using my LG Soundbar SC9 for a month and enjoy it more daily. It was delivered in a strong box, that looked very professional. Inside were the main unit, subwoofer, remote, and brackets for LG TV. It was a great pleasure to unbox it. I was like a child opening a new toy. Installation was dead easy. You can choose HDMI or Bluetooth. Wireless connection 9includin bass speaker) works great, I have never experienced any issues. The soundbar detects ARC HDMI, so you don't need to use extra remote control. When you turn on the TV or game console, it turns automatically. The sound quality is superb and when I watch a movie or play a game, it surrounds me from every corner.
