I am very happy with this soundbar. Very good sound I enjoy.
is sounding good for a big living room or is it good for a small room?
Great, clear review. How does this compare to the LG S65Q...whcih one is better?
I have the spd7y from Sam’s club and an lg c2. Great deal for $350 and it comes with the subwoofer with 360 watts. I do not regret it and don’t plan on renting it. I did use the e-arc with Ai setting on the bar. It’s fantastic.
Fun fact: the Sub only has 190Watts. The Soundbar has 380Watts, jus sayin.
Bought one for less than 400$ and I am extremely happy with it
is sounding good for a big living room or is it good for a small room?
@@footballisahumbler I think the output its 340watts should be enough for both, you have the option to buy a pair of wireless sorround speakers
@@BigGollum1The rear speakers are discontinued
I love how this is a tech setup guide more than an actual review. You never once mentions the sound QUALITY of the unit.
Yes the Atmos was convincing. Great, than I know.
How about the sound? Does it sound spacious and full? How's the midrange with speech and music? Is the sub the correct size for this model and is it muddy or fairly sharp? Does it go deep enough?
Worst "review" i've seen.
But I sure got told what Atmos is and how to configure an HDMI E-ARC connection... useless.
Is it compatible to the 48’ LG Ultra Gear Monitor
Still using a 2005 sony wega crt tv stand. Props 🤙🏼❤.
😄
what is the bass like on these.. have had the lg sk8 and the bass was dead.
I have LG C1 TV and this soundbar. How should I set the TV? Choice "TV sound mode share" or "Sound bar mode control"? If I set first one, can't change volume setting for any speakers/subwoofer and in TV AI mode block EQ setting. But I hear somewhere, that AI from TV is better than AI from soundbar. Ans should I turn on surround system if i have not rear speakers? (otherwise upper speakers are off)?
And one more thing - frequencies from 20 to ~55Hz are very silent, buf subwoofer is paired. It's normal?
Anyway I measure power consumption and think, that 1W in idle isn't energy saving friendly :( Most consumed by subwoofer (0,6-0,7W). Wireless, but must connect to power supply. It's stupid IMO - it might as well be connected to soundbar. Then no bluetooth need and can by permanently switch off.
I have one of these connected via HDMI E-ARC to my LG C2 - Sound quality is a 7.5 out of 10 IMO - The lack of decent bass let's it down as a standalone soundbar. I also noticed there are no recommended settings. Personally I have my preset on AI Sound, Treble changed to 5, Bass changed to 5 and everything else left on 0. Stick a hip-hop beat on from CZcams and at volume 20 the thing sounds great, although the neighbours aren't too happy!
But isn't the music mode or cinema mode the most optimized ones to stick to?
@@robertoborgen3781 potentially if you are using the additional rear speakers and sub as well, but as a standalone soundbar those aren’t the best sounding levels IMO.
@@Joeguard1990 Where i brought it it was only available with the subwoofer. Its that if its Dolby Atmos or DTS, their preference is overriding anyway. With Cinema it's the only mode that uses the upfirering speakers for movies if it isn't Atmos or DTS. For music you want the mederian sound and mostly stereo, and not the AI to enhance a voice, if it isn't the way the vocal of the song is recorded.
@@robertoborgen3781 it’s down to your own preference at the end of the day. I played multiple songs on CZcams with atmos and movies and spent hours finding the settings that sounded the best for me. IMO AI sound preset with Bass and Treble at 5 provides the best 3D sound with the best clarity. All the others sound like the levels are wrong and the sound is too mono. It’s a front facing soundbar at the end of the day with no rear speakers so you will never get true surround sound.
Hi, I have an LG OLED TV identical to yours that I set as you did but the soundbar in question continues to signal me dolby audio and not dolby atmos. Is there some setting I need to turn on or could it be the hdmi cable? Note that I can hear e-arc audio.
Try to enter in the audio settings and choose that you output the audio via HDMI and in the digital sound output option select automatic.

is sounding good for a big living room or is it good for a small room?
These are the questions you shouldn't have to ask after seeing a review of the unit. Right? Failed video.
why is your TV's menu language set to Spanish?
I am planning to get a soundbar, I have a question regarding the setup:
Xbox Series X which runs at 4K/120Hz and Dolby Vision or HDR on LG Nanocell TV
I'd like to purchase a soundbar now. If I am not mistaken, ARC or eARC should do the trick
The connection would be like this
Xbox Series X -> LG Nanocell TV (HDMI 2.1 Port)
and then
LG Nanocell TV -> Soundbar (z.B. LG SPD7Y) (HDMI 2.1 eArc)
In theory my TV should then still show the 4K/120Hz form the Xbox but the sound should come out of the soundbar (if set right in the TV)
Am I correct?
I would like to know if this is true as well and it makes sense to me
This is like my setup but with lg oled c1.. there are some pros and cons, you can have dolby atmos with series x but only if you conect the xbox to the soundbar. You can still set the conection like you say directly xbox to the tv, but there is significantly audio delay that way..
So xbox directly to soundbar -> great dolby atmos sound but no dolby vision 120hz
Xbox directly to tv -> dolby vision 4k 120hz but with delayed dolby atmos..
You can still use the soundbar but without atmos on xbox
@@benjito33 I can confirm this is accurate 👍 I have the sound bar with my Xbox series x and PS5 , and yes there is a delay in sound it's easily mitigated via your TV and console settings
@@TheEgb18c can you explain those settings?
This works yes and how 99% of people have theirs set up. The problem is there is noticeable audio delay, even if you make the sound setting stereo uncompressed in the Xbox audio settings. Microsoft have never done anything to fix it.
SOL if you want rear speakers tho
Can this be wall mounted?
Yes, it comes with two wall mounts
There are no recommended settings in the description. Lies
AI Sound Preset and then wack Treble up to max 5 and Bass up to Max 5. Leave everything else on 0 (soundbar only with no accessories/sub/etc.) Only thing lacking is the Bass IMO it needs a sub.
Why the AI mode? Wouldn't the mederian music mode or cinematic mode be the two to switch between?@@Joeguard1990
@@robertoborgen3781not in my opinion no, they sound too monotone and give no depth.
@@Joeguard1990
Its not the case with my LG soundbar and subwoofer, with the meridian music mode it makes it the closest to a real hifi experience. The AI tries to guess what's going on, no difference between music being played in a tv show or a recording. I however agree with the treble and bass set at 5.
Watching movies with AI does not use the upfirering speakers
@@robertoborgen3781 not sure if I’ve mentioned previously but I’m just using the soundbar standalone, have no rear speakers or sub attached. Music mode might work better for you as you have the sub, but for me music default has 0 bass and doesn’t project the sound. The AI SOUND PRO preset for me gives the best balance of treble bass and mids, whether I’m listening to music, playing games or watching Dolby atmos movies on Netflix. You are correct if I listen to a music video for example on CZcams it doesn’t use the upcoming speakers, however if I force it to use them by putting the soumdbar into BASS mode for example, sure it uses them, but from my sofa the sound levels are just awful and there’s no balance to it. I have to go with what sounds the best for me at my viewing seat. The upfiring speakers work fine when watching atmos movies on Netflix in AI mode and give a better 3D sound IMO. But as I said at the end of the day it’s personal preference buddy. I spent a whole day day in my chair going through every option with music and moves to find what sounded the best to me :)
it´s a good choice for a LG OLED C1 65 inch?
yeah it's flawless when connect to the HDMI E-ARC output from your TV and input into the Soundbar. Only issue is it lacks bass on it's own, so if you want bas you'll have to buy the add-on speakers/sub
What is the concert in 8th minute?
It's a demo video by Sony, I can't remember the name. I'll try to check it
@@TVHiFiProinEnglish thanks a lot!
Bought this one and I’m not happy with it. Atmos does not work well at all and the surround performance is not satisfying. Overall sound is muddled and presets are terrible. Cinema is the only decent preset and this lowers voice clarity is exchange for bass. I’ll be going with the JBL 5.1 now.
Learn how to use it!
Please, everyone, don't listen to this guy. The Soundbar doesn't have 380 Watts. That's a number when you combine ALL speakers, including the Subwoofer.
Oh, really? 🤣 It is since 1800 that this is the same that you mention, the specifications of the product are mentioning the total power of the system... 😅 What did you think? 380W for each speakers? 🤣 🤣
I want to hear the sound of the bar, you keep talking and don't watch a movie to really know the quality of the sound... what a waste of time... I'd better go to a store to listen to it... thanks for nothing
think about it, you cannot evaluate the quality of any audio equipment by watching videos in the internet, what you would evaluate would be be the quality of the recorder's micro and/or your device's speakers
Even if you listen 5 hours to a demo of a 10.000$ system on a laptop with 5$ speakers, it will still sound like 5$ speakers. You're better off going to a store and evaluating the sound quality there.
