SC9S 3.1.3-Channel Perfect Matching Soundbar to the OLED evo C Series TV, Dolby Atmos, Wow Orchestra, WOWCAST Built-in with Wireless Dolby Atmos, Rear Speaker Ready, Wireless Subwoofer

I am very pleased with this. Matches great to evo series LG tv. Good integration. Some details: Not a replacement for a home theatre set up sound system, but does a great job to give the TV great sound. Subwoofer is better than expected and adds a lot. WOW Orchestra is not so wow. That's feature where you can use sound bar with TV speakers for more immersive sound. I think sound bar sounds better without the TV speakers going. Dolby Atmos actually seems to work well. We were watching one movie that had birds in background in forest scene. Was excellent presence. Did not seem to be coming from sound bar. Has extra hdmi input so using hdmi eARC does not lose you an hdmi input on TV. Have blu ray player plugged into sound bar and selecting HDMI 2 on LG evo OLED tv selects it while also handling the sound functions well. Settings that are working best for me (long time HiFi interests): - sound formats: Cinema expansive stage but does not sound right. AI Pro sound does not sound great to me, but better. I like best Standard selection. UPDATE after a week with it. I still like Standard sound best if on a movie or regular television show, but I've found on some YouTube music choices or on concert videos (vs movies) on Apple TV, the Standard mode selection does not sound good. Why music in movies sounds so good but not some music of other sorts, I have no idea. When I experience that, switching to sound mode AI pro or Cinema work much better for some reason. AI sound pro mode might be sweet spot if I decide I don't want to bother to change it (which is quite easy to get to and change and change back depending on what you are watching. This is a setting on the LG TV and very easy to get at and toggle. - And with that selected, sweet spot for me is bumping up level on subwoofer and also on bass a bit over the middle settings. So, not all the way up but not flat, center, either. Sounds great on voice, news, movies, etc. Massive improvement in TV sound with some depth, oomph, bass, and robust middle. I get the weaknesses of this or any soundbar compared to a full HiFi system. So the get is simplicity and integration. This will not confuse your family members. I cannot comprehend the reviews here that suggest sound is no bette than that from the TV alone. The TV speakers are unusually good but the sound is so limited compared to with this sound bar--it's a huge difference. Con: I could not get the sound bar to connect to WiFi in any attempt. LG Soundbar app just could not do it. I do not know why. Was on same SSID, etc and following instructions on app. So, learned how to change settings with remote to get sound I like (and you can set main sound type (again, I liked Standard best) on TV with TV remote snd then use sound bar remote to tweak sound. Not terrible. And the sound I like works well for everything so I don't expect to fiddle with it much in the future. I would totally buy this again. PS. I buy a lot on Amazon and bought this here but returned it was shipping got delayed so went to get it at Best Buy.

Have thoroughly been enjoying this sound bar and sub-woofer. Easy to install with the included paper template. Looks outstanding, sounds even better with *plenty* of volume and low-end for our 15 x 23 great room (even longer than 23' if the kitchen is included. Only issue was getting the LG "WoW Orchestra" feature to work together properly - took several on/off cycles of system for this feature to work as expected; initially sounded cheap and tinny despite sub-woofer indicating it was connected - you could feel it was emitting sound. All great after several months of use.

Great sound system overall. Works great, sounds great, although not right out of the box. Putting it together could have been easier if the included instructions were more than just a couple pictures and no words. The included stand is a key feature of this setup. It completely replaces the TV's included stand and is far more robust and stable. The sound bar mounts to it with included screws. Would recommend you hookup every cable you want to use now and in the future because once it's screwed in place it is impossible to get to without taking the whole thing apart again. Also, all the default sound settings are awful. Once you enable the WOW audio enhancement when used with a compatible LG TV and adjust the subwoofer and speaker settings in the app you have to download, it has good bass and sounds really spacious for a 3.1.3 system. If you find it for a good price its definitely worth it even if you have to put some extra effort to get the best out of it.

Easy setup with great sound. Pairs nicely with OLED remote.

I'm using this on a LG EVO C4 65' in a 12x14 room. The depth it gives to the sound is simply amazing!!! It will fill the room but if you're looking for the water in the glass to shimmer while watching Jurassic Park, this isn't a sound bar for you. Most reviews are correct in that the C4 TV is actually louder than when the is sc9 connected. However, what it does provide is room filling sound that is loud enough for me, while not disturbing others in the house. This upgrade is about quality, accurate sound, versus loud. Loud doesn't mean quality but if you're looking for loud AF that will get cops called, look at the Nakamichi....I wasn't looking for that. For any audiophile on a budget and in a small room.....sc9 is amazing!!!

The music reproduction is very "bright". The sliders for bass or treble have little if any effect. There is no adjustment for midrange. It works fine and and of course is a big improvement over the TV. I have not used this with DT-X or Dolby Digital UPDATED 2/11/24 This is billed as a 3.1 system. It is only 3.1 if your are decoding DTX or Dolby Atmos. It will connect to your phone wirelessly to use the LG App but will not stream multi room audio. The only compatible speakers are LG SQ8. They aren't really wireless. They have a receiver that gets a signal from the sound bar wirelessly but you run speaker wire from the reciever to the speakers. Having checked with LG There are no wireless speakers available. This is updated as of 12/09/2024. I tried to add rear surround speakers to this soundbar. The rear surrounds have been discontinued and aren't available. LG customer support gave me an alternate model number but they dont seem to be available in the U.S.A. I am reducing my review down to 2 stars.

After numerous challenges reconnecting this soundbar to my WiFi system after power and internet outages, I had almost entirely given up on this soundbar and pulled the trigger on a Sonos system. I paused for a moment to see if I could add compatible bookshelf speakers to complete my surround sound system, only to find out the only compatible speakers, LG SPQ8-S, have been discontinued with nothing in the pipeline to replace or work with this soundbar. I will now throw this god awful user experience in the nearest dumpster and replace it with a Sonos system. This speaker is only 2 years old and the LG app doesn’t support it and accessories are already being discontinued. What a huge waste of money.
