S80TR 5.1.3 ch. OLED evo TV Matching Home Theater Soundbar with Rear Surround Speakers and Wireless Subwoofer, Wow Orchestra, Dolby Atmos, WOWCAST Built-in (2024 Model)

This is my first soundbar with dolby atmos. I used to have a Yamaha soundbar with i think 13 speakers. This soundbar is incredible! 5.1.3 breaks down like this... 5 is the total speakers in a normal position. Left, right, center channel, and left and right surrounds. The 1 represents the subwoofer, and the 3 is the total up firing speakers on the soundbar. The wireless sub, and surrounds work flawlessly and sound great! I was missing 1 power cord which I promptly had a chat with lg and they have a power cord on its way within a couple days of me having the chat session with them. Great customer service, a great soundbar for the money, and goes great with my lg b4 oled tv!

I want to be clear up front, I hooked this to a LG TV. All I had to do was connect the HDMI cable to the TV and the soundbar paired to the TV automatically along with the TV settings all being set. That is all I had to do with the other speakers, plug them in and they paired to the soundbar also. The sound is great it makes watching TV a better experience. I would by this soundbar again.

If you love the sound that comes out of your iPhone then this is the system for you. If know anything about sound quality then continue your search. I presently have a great 6:1 Logitech wired system that's about 5 years old. I am tired of hearing my wife complain about the wires so, I decided to purchase this LG S80TR system. The website told me to "get ready for an unforgettable cinematic sound experience with this impressive 5.1.3-channel soundbar powered by Dolby Atmos", and to prepare myself for an "immersive audio experience" that will "fill the room with pure acoustic bliss". After 3 days, I AM STILL WAITING!!! Dolby Atmos is suppose to move sounds precisely in a 3D space for a more realistic experience. The only thing that moved was me to the remote to try every possible option to try and improve the awful sound that was emanating from these speakers. The subwoofer is twice the size of my present system, so I expected to experience a rumbling bass. On the full bass setting, it didn't compare to my system. Last night, I reconnected my old wired system and did a side by side comparison for my wife (who thinks the tv sound is perfectly fine) and her first reaction was, "oh those sound terrible", thinking it was my old system and when I told her she was listening to the new LG S80TR, she said , "I hope you are sending them back in the morning" Needless to say, this LG S80TR is already packed up and I'm headed out the door to return it to UPS.

The surround sound was easy to hook up and sounds GREAT buy it

It's a pretty decent system for a small apartment or kids / family room. The surround is quite impressive but I was skeptical of the wireless speakers staying paired. However I'm pleasantly surprised by the consistent connection (not a single incident of pairing issues). The bass is not powerful at all but if booming explosions while watching a movie is not quite your cup of tea, then you'll be fine. Note: This system is a HUGE PAIN to connect to a Sony TV. It's not the surround system but rather a software bug issue w/ Sony. I have both experienced and read of other instances where the HDMI ARC port on Sony TVs conflicts with the HDMI IN port on the soundbar when you connect another device to it (i.e. Roku, Blu-ray player, etc.) and causes the sound bar and the TVs internal speakers to "battle" each other, causing the sound to toggle between the 2 continuously - It drove me nuts!!! But I discovered a workaround where I just connected my other devices directly to the TV instead. This method still allows the sound from those devices to filter thru the soundbar. But it took a couple of hours to finally resolve the issue. So if you're not looking for big Dolby Atmos sound, a near-movie theater experience, or you own anything other than a Sony TV, then I would recommend this system for you.

The best soundbar I've ever owned it is seamless. Will take a little getting used to with the HDMI in and HDMI out but the pass-through is seamless again. I will use that word a lot in this review. The connectivity is seamless. I have both of my satellite speakers mounted on the wall in our living room and the surround sound is Rich and gives you that nice Cinema feel without the over-bearing wires. All I did was run the power source through the back of the wall with a an approved power system and it is is money well worth spend?

Was looking for a wireless system to go with my LG television. Tried two other LG systems before I settled on this one so far I’m very pleased with the results. Love the sound and the app lets you control and tweak the sound if needed. The price was not bad either. It’s looks great with my television and how it integrates with my television speakers to give it even better sound

First, the biggest issue, the sole purpose of this soundbar is to provide sound. Although, it does usually do that (not always), the sound it does provide is extremely low quality. Voices will come out very tinny, and other aspects of the sound spectrum are just off. Nothing feels right, and you have to switch between modes for each audio source you are using. Switching modes does help a bit, but even Cinema or AI Pro modes still do not properly replicate the sounds being requested. The modes also seem to produce sound at different overall volumes. The sound issue is bad, but not the only fatal flaw this soundbar has. The WOWCast connectivity is nice when it works, but I have found that it often times will not connect from my LG C2 tv. The device will show up but it will refuse to connect. Additionally, when it is connected, if you leave it alone for about an hour (bar on, tv off), it will not be properly connected and sound will alternate between the tv and soundbar. The only solution I have found to fix these issues is to completely unplug the soundbar and plug it back in forcing a hard reload. At first I had hoped that the issue was going to get fixed, I got the soundbar as soon as it came out, but several updates later and there is no improvement. Basically, for a device that claims to just work and provide good sound quality, it fails almost completely. For the price, I would stay away, there are plenty of other solutions out there that will just work and not sound like crap.
