I think of myself as tech savvy, but I could not get this soundbar to work correctly. It was paired to my LG C1 OLED and settings were still ridiculously complicated. I use the apps directly from the TV and every time you switch between streaming sites the sound is completely off. I couldn't watch a movie because I was spending the whole time trying to set the TV and the soundbar settings to work correctly. Don't even get me started on switching HDMI signals and sound settings. RETURNED SOUNDBAR TO STORE!

Installed this with a new LG TV about three weeks ago. I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to hook up - pretty much plug and play. Sound is fantastic, thinking about adding the rear satellite speakers in a bit. I thought the LG TV sound was good by itself until hooking up the SPD7Y - what a difference: more richness, nice bass, etc. First experience with using an ARC-E device, really like the easy install and one remote capability. Between this soundbar and the LG TV there are SO MANY options that it can be overwhelming to sort out what you want. I've been happy with most of the out of the box settings - clear voice really helps us older folks understand some of the dialogue that can be muddled with foreign accents, and generally poor diction on the actors' parts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have recently purchased the LG SPD7Y Soundbar at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion, and let me tell you this simple, sleek Soundbar packs a major punch! My family and I have an absolute blast every time we decide to play music, watch a movie, or simply watch TV. We thoroughly enjoy the loud, heavy sound profile that this device provides. Additionally, it comes equipped with bass and treble adjustments for an audio experience tailored to your liking! Lastly, the only gripe that I have is the fact that this Soundbar lacks a low-bass adjustment. Otherwise, I can confidently assert that this is yet another sound piece of technology from LG!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this soundbar at a discounted price in exchanged for an honest review. This LG Soundbar is outstanding. It pairs perfectly with any TV and the Dolby Atmos feature is incredible. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a high end Soundbar at a very good price. The sound quality is amazing and the subwoofer pairs perfectly.

I brought the SPD7Y to replace an older Bosed 3-2-1 which subwoofer no longer worked. Efforts to fix was to no avail. The SPD7Y was very affordable and the sounds it produced are outstanding considering the price. I checked out the other LG sound bar and this was the sweet spot for purchasing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this about a month ago and the sound bar worked really well. However the documentation was really lacking. You only get a very basic manual with the system. There was no online manual available for this product either. There is an app that you can download which I had to find out on my own about, as there was no reference to it anywhere. I got the rear speakers as well but they didn't work well, which is why I wanted the manual. I ended up calling customer service to get help with it and they were not at all of any value in helping me. They were just reading out of the same useless manual. In the end I just returned the rear speakers and gave up. The sound bar itself works and sounds good but I wish I had surround sound.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife convinced me (wink, wink) to upgrade from our previous SN7Y LG Soundbar to the current model SPD7Y for our main TV which is an LG Nanocell 4K. I thought this would be nice upgrade and allow me to put our other great LG soundbar in our family room. I'm very glad I did because the SPD7Y has some upgraded interfaces that make it better. The bluetooth button is perfect for me because I crank out music through the surround sound system on the daily. It is such a pleasant thrill that the sound quality has a bit more bass in this model. When you listen with the Dolby Atmos available the sounds on movies and streaming. I have my soundbar set up with the add-on SPK-8 surround sound speakers and I cannot recommend this setup enough - the sound experience is what I want from a home sound system. Although I received this product at a discount for my honest opinion, the retail price is fantastic for what you get. This model is worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unpacking and setup were easy enough but instructions are lacking especially concerning the remote. I have a 2021 LG tv so compatibility is not an issue but no explanation is given whether to use the TV or included remote. The included remote doesn't have a number pad so it must be for strictly audio use. Also the instructional video for this particular unit has been removed (not available) from the LG site...

It might sound good, but this was one of the hardest devices I have ever had to install. Not only does it NOT have a light to tell you if it is actually on but the little booklet isn’t clear about how to connect to your TV, and the phone App doesn’t seem to help at all. It took ages, and then “suddenly” it was connected. How terrifying when you feel challenged enough to screw things to the wall for that “huge” TV the wife wanted, but then this add-on was causing way more problems that the TV. I started to ask myself if we really needed this black box, when the new TV had better speakers anyhow. Maybe I have been spoilt with the new technology for yet simply fed me the codes and next steps, but this process was way “below” what I have become used to when I buy new electronics these days. Sorry guys, but you do need to do better for us clunks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Given the increased use of entertainment services at home both for personal as well as entertaining friends and family, we were looking at upgrading our sound/theatre system and thus went ahead and bought the LG SPDY soundbar after getting impressed by the reviews that I read online. When I received the soundbar it was very easy and quick to get started and did not face any problems related to connectivity. The LG SPD7Y Soundbar delivers high-resolution audio with Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X and Meridian Audio Technology. This is really high tech technology that is not readily available especially at this cost and from such a reputed brand as LG. The sound quality was just perfect with the right mix and bases. It was also very convenient to control with the specially designed LG magic remote. The sound bar gives you a surround sound experience and helps you to get completely impressed into the experience that takes you to a new level of relaxation and satisfaction. I would certainly recommend this to anyone who is looking to upgrade their home entertainment system and get compliments from friends and family. PS: I got the product for a discount in exchange for my honest review.
