I love home audio, car audio etc. but I didn't want to break the bank, so this setup is perfect for our living room. Its not for everyone though, hope this review will help you out.During movies this setup is REALLY immersive. (Keep reading for details) MAKE SURE you change the audio setting to "Cinema" on the remote! I leave it on cinema all the time, even just watching TV or YouTube, unless I'm listening to music then I switch to the music mode.On our TV we were able to change the TV settings to allow the TV remote to adjust the volume of the LG system, and it also turns the TV off and ALL the speakers off with one button! Which is really convenient. I only use the LG remote to change the audio profile when switching from cinema to music.Its a wireless system, so of course that means Bluetooth enabled if you want to play music or maybe an audio book from your phone / tablet. Maybe you are cooking in the kitchen and have an open home layout you can watch the media on your phone and use the speaker system for the audio via Bluetooth. Use the sound bar or the LG remote to activate Bluetooth and just connect your device.This is NOT a system that requires a separate audio receiver with AM/FM. If you need to connect a vinyl player, and already have extra speakers you want to add in, then this is not the system for you. This system works great with smart TVs / projectors / game consoles / streaming devices etc.I've had no connection issues or dropped signals whatsoever and its been in use for a few months now, I'm really satisfied with the wireless setup. Even with multiple devices in my house, Xbox, PS5, PC, laptop, cell phones, tablets, wireless security cameras, even the refrigerator uses WIFI and we've had zero connection issues with this system.The subwoofer sounds great while playing music and movies, I can hear it thump from upstairs, it will fill your room with really loud sound, but it probably wont bother the neighbors. If you have the volume up a good amount you wont be able to talk with an "inside voice" to someone across the room very easily to give you an idea of how loud and powerful this setup is. Its not underwhelming in any stretch of the imagination, unless you are trying to fill a dance club with sound. With that being said this system would function very well for playing music during a reasonable sized house party with like 20 or so guests give or take.It works perfectly for my significant other and I, as we don't host often at all and its usually just us two watching the TV. We set the two satellite speakers on either side of the couch facing directly at the TV, and the surround effect sounds awesome while watching a movie or TV series. That is the optimal seating position, being directly between the left and right speakers on either side of you. If you have another couch that isn't directly facing the TV, the surround sound aspect may not sound as convincing from that position. If you always have a bunch of people in the room in different seating positions trying to watch a movie you probably need a 5.1 or 7.1 system instead.The subwoofer is powered / active so you will need to place it near an outlet, or run an extension cord, though I wouldn't want a passive subwoofer that doesn't require power as my main home theater sub. The two satellite speakers are wired together via speaker wire (L&R) and one power cord, but then they wirelessly connect to the subwoofer and sound bar. Directions are clear and easy to read with pictures and diagrams so you shouldn't have any issues. I think it's awesome having a clean looking setup without having to run speaker wire across the floor, or up the wall. Just the L&R speaker wire that is hiding behind the couch. Plenty of slack on the speaker wire about 10-20 feet if I had to guess.Once the speakers are set up and connected, you need some audio. First you need to plug an HDMI cable into the sound bar’s HDMI ARC port, then into the HDMI ARC port on your TV. That will allow audio / video to travel in BOTH directions from your TV and the sound system. Standard HDMI ports only allow audio / video to travel in one direction. If your TV is older and doesn't have an HDMI ARC port, I'm fairly certain you can use an optical cable instead, but I'm not positive as its been over 2 months since I set everything up.***You may have to change the audio settings on your TV to activate the ARC setting from your TV***If you have a game console / laptop / streaming device / DVD or Blu-ray player etc., you would then run a separate HDMI cord from said device into the sound bar's standard HDMI port. Then you should be good to go.I would highly recommend searching up a "surround sound test" video on YouTube at this point to make sure you have the speakers arranged correctly.If you are using a projector with Bluetooth capability, you can wirelessly connect the projector to the sound bar for your audio. If your projector does not have Bluetooth, you can use an Amazon Firestick with Bluetooth capability. You would just connect the Firestick to the projector, and then use the Bluetooth on the Firestick to connect to the sound bar for your audio. Note older Firesticks do not have Bluetooth. If your video is on a USB flash drive or some other USB drive, you should be able to connect the drive to your projector and then run an HDMI cord into one of the HDMI ports on the sound bar, though I have not tested this myself. In theory you should also be able to use a USB Bluetooth transmitter / receiver plugged into your projector to wirelessly connect to the sound bar for audio instead.From the optimal seating position, as explained above, the sound is awesome! You can hear a vehicle in a movie passing from left to right in real time, or gunshots that sound like they are ricocheting around you! Its really cool, in my opinion better than a movie theater because you get to sit in the perfect position at home and its more of an intimate experience if that makes sense.Another example is from "House of the Dragon" TV series (no spoilers), while the new dragon riders were down in the dragons pit, it was all quiet and eerie, then some small rocks fall down in the distance (you don't even see them fall on screen) and we had to look around our room for a second, as we thought something really fell down in real life! Such a cool experience! If you were watching that on regular TV speakers you wouldn't even notice those little details, with this setup it sounded like the rocks fell down right next to you. I wouldn't want to watch a movie without this type of experience moving forward because you are really missing out on a big part of the emersion.

I wish I could leave a higher review. This is super simple to set up. You can adjust everything through your phone to be just the way you like it. The sound is amazing and the price is perfect for it.

Okay, so heres the deal. I have not owned a surround sound in probably 10 years because of either price or just not thinking of getting one. Well i wanted one for my apartment and after a ton of research and reviews i stumbled on this LG one. My first thing im going to say is these are NOT wireless for anyone wondering. The sound bar you need power cord, and HDMI arc etc and thats obvious, the sub woofer is power cord only, and the rear speakers one needs a power cord, and the other does not it hooks up to the other one with speaker wire ( which was not mentioned) thats why i didnt give it 5 stars because i wanted wireless ( i almost bought roku speakers) but for those, sound bar, and sub together would have been well over 600 bucks so opted for this system. Anyways, i have used it for two weeks now and the sound is better than i expected. The bar sounds good, and the speakers are loud and sound great during movies and gaming. Normal tv and certain shows it does not provide constant sound which is a bummer but over its pretty good. The sub is not loud, and does not give off alot of bass, and the instructions are virtually worthless in regards to figuring out how to adjust any of them or even if you can. I would purchase again considering the price when on sale i think it was $179 or so overall im happy for what it is.

This product works great for my purposes. The bluetooth easily connects to my projector, phone, etc The sound is clear & crisp. I can easily move it out doors for a movie night under the stars, and retun it to the living room when were done. I'd purchase this item again. I wish I would have purchased it earlier.

when all of it is on it drops my wifi from 85 mbps download and 85mbps upload to 8 download and 22 upload, if i unplug the subwoofer i get 14 download and 40 upload but this is just insane, why does it interfere with a staple house hold utility, it even dropped my much better downstairs main router wifi to 20 download this is stupid design. besides that the back speakers need to be wired together so not completely wireless, and i cant use the system fully till i get this stupid app to work from the sounds of it but i cant get the app to work if i cant keep the wifi strong which it needs so im kinda screwed. all and all not 100% worth it, so far it sounds ok and setting up wasnt that hard except for this stupid app, and the hours of wifi support later to find out it was cause of the sound system so ya i dont recommend this for households that have wifi sooooo... MOST households i dont recommend this systemedit: i forgot to mention the system didnt come with any cords to hook it up to the tv, if we didnt have the cords already from an old sound bar we would have been screwed even furtherEdit: about a month later the system is just trash, its fighting the router for signal strength, speakers keep going in and out while we trying to watch stuff, cant get anything on the wifi to work when its on which is upsetting since like the rest of the world most of our viewings is based on an internet line for us its roku and it barely works with this system but needs to buffer before each episode and sometimes freezes the program to load cause the roku is fighting the sound system for signal strength, its upsetting i cant use my laptop while im upstairs and i can barley use my phone when im downstairs the distance this thing screws over is insane, dont bother with this sound system if you are modern and use wifi in your house

Good LG soundbar at a reasonable price that matches my LG tv perfectly.

Researched for months and bought this. Does what it promises. The sound fills the room but feels a bit boomy (using Bluetooth connection). The Bluetooth connection drops every 30 mins. Not sure if it's a soundbar issue or my streaming device. I'll be using HDMI ARC so this won't be an issue for me.All in all, a decent upgrade over inbuilt TV speakers, for its price, but in no way audiophile grade. This one is suitable if you are a tenant with a small hall and want something small that's transport-friendly.If you're after quality sound, go for a proper 5.1 home theater because no matter which soundbar you buy, you'll always be missing out on a good movie experience if you don't have rear surround speakers.Also, always prefer wired inputs over wireless. Bluetooth does not have the bandwidth to carry high res sound.

Very easy to install and sounds epic

Su bajos son suficientemente potentes..Estoy satisfecho

Fácil de instalar, discreta y elegante.El sonido es algo que aun no logro descifrar, separa muy bien los sonidos y tiene un buen rango, el subbuffer es decente y el volumen o potencia están bien pero hay situaciones en donde no importa cuanto le subas, no se nota gran diferencia.Me gusta que tenga control remoto.Creo que es ideal para una habitación mediana.
