We have always relied on John Lewis for our considered purchase and this one was no different. We were originally just looking for a 65inch OLED (LG stunning C2) but after putting it in our basket we found we could also add an LG sound bar for half price! Yes that's right 50% off. So we order the LG S80QR. It arrived promptly and we set it up. Setup was a doddle and with 650 watts is no shrinking violet. It has everything I was looking for E-ARC, plenty of HDMI ports, three USB ports, Optical in, Bluetooth, 8 different sound settings the Sports setting make you feel you are in your teams Stadium. Clear Voice setting help people with hearing problems. Al sound pro seeks the optimal setting to suit your content.

Clear Voice setting help people with hearing problems. Al sound pro seeks the optimal setting to suit your content. There are many settings but if you're not a technical wiz it will do it for you with amazing results. Everything is explained in simple to follow steps. I personally like the LG wow cast box which allows you to connect the two back speakers via their cables and connects over the Wi-Fi from the sound bar saving you having to run cables from front to back genius. The sub woofer is also wireless. The upward firing three front speaker's throw the Dolby Atmos into the air to truly immerse you. The back speakers are small but powerful. It has lots of Audio formats here are a few- Dolby Digital and Digital Plus, Dolby True HD, Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, Dolby Digital Surround, DTS-HD HRA, DTS-HD MA DTS X IMAX DTS IMAX PCM. As you can see truly amazing I definitely recommend this unit you can even use it as a sound system. You won't be disappointed trust me I'm not and the price was sensational.

A fairly substantial soundbar that is certainly powerful enough for a small room, and seems to be sound-filling enough even for my 22’ x 40‘ living room. I don’t like a lot of bass, so the standard setting for the subwoofer is fine for me; though it’s easy enough to adjust up or down using the included Bluetooth remote. The medium-size subwoofer sits on the floor, behind the television & my AV table; and, so far, it seems that this location is working out fine. During an in-store comparison of this 3.1.3 model to the higher-priced 5.1.2 model, I preferred this one due to its clear and slightly more mellow (to me) sound. And, it cost $400 less, anyway. Turning on an ARC-equipped television will also switch on the connected HDMI soundbar.

Turning on an ARC-equipped television will also switch on the connected HDMI soundbar. I bought an LG TV with the LG soundbar as a bundle; so, I no longer have to use separate remotes to turn on everything. A welcome feature. However, unless this soundbar is going to be wall-mounted, its height (2-1/2” thick) is just bulky enough to interfere with the infrared sensor located at the base of my LG OLED screen. When the soundbar is placed in front of the television, it blocks the sensor! I could put it on a lower shelf of the AV table, but the soundbar has upward-firing Atmos speakers; so, placing it on a covered shelf in a cabinet would interfere with its sound — particularly, during Atmos-enabled movies. Although both the tv and sound bar remotes use Bluetooth —and don’t need line of sight — the cable box remote I also use is, unfortunately, INFRARED. It will not simultaneously turn on the cable box and the tv (and, subsequently, the soundbar, too!) — when I’m sitting on the couch — unless I lift the remote over my head and click! I could probably solve the problem by placing a 1”-2” riser under the television’s pedestal stand, to raise it up just enough to expose the infrared sensor and allow everything to work properly. (Or, perhaps LG could just include an adjustable-height pedestal with every television, so that their own brand of LG soundbars wouldn’t block the infrared sensors of LG TVs, anymore!) Fortunately, I can just use the LG television remote to (eventually) turn on all 3 devices. It takes 5 more seconds and a push of a second button on the LG remote to do it, though — compared to ONE PUSH using cable’s infrared remote control. If I could only aim — ju-uuust right — and hit the blocked sensor on the TV, I could save myself 5 seconds!

This LG S80QY soundbar bundle is simply amazing, it needs to be heard to truly experience the sound it can produce from such a small package. Upon receiving the delivery and then opening up the box to see the soundbar you immediately notice how well designed it is with its sophisticated finish and colors that would look good in any setting. The second feature you notice about it is the three upfiring speakers on the top of the soundbar that gives it the ability to produce sound for Dolby Atmos enabled movies. Those 3 upfiring speakers with Atmos made movie watching a different experience with its ability to fill the room with sound that bounced around the room and made you feel like you could discern where each sound was taking place in the movie. I found myself ... MoreThis LG S80QY soundbar bundle is simply amazing, it needs to be heard to truly experience the sound it can produce from such a small package.

Those 3 upfiring speakers with Atmos made movie watching a different experience with its ability to fill the room with sound that bounced around the room and made you feel like you could discern where each sound was taking place in the movie. I found myself constantly lowering the volume during loud scenes to make sure the neighbors wouldn't be bothered by the sound because it truly felt like being in a theater! The powerful subwoofer produces a loud bass that would truly make the room vibrate during action scenes in a movie. The remote that comes with the soundbar is small and convenient to use. The included SPQ8-S wireless speakers with the bundle elevate the sound experience to a real cinema experience with true 5.1 surround sound. Setting up the wireless speakers is pretty easy with just connecting the speakers to the receiver and plugging in the receiver to an outlet, with the soundbar automatically detecting and connecting to the speakers. The soundbar comes with many other convenient features such as built in Google Chromecast and Apple Airplay for connecting which ever device you own. All in all this LG soundbar is in my experience one of the best top of the line soundbar that money can buy to achieve a great home theater experience and I would recommend it anyone.
