This arrived well boxed. It is a bit long and awkward to handle – get help bringing in if there are a number of steps involved…
Unboxing was easy, and soon had all components out and ready to go. The soundbar and woofer have a premium look. Although designed to fit with a 65” tv, it would be a nice compliment to any tv.
Be advised – this seems to be intended for flush mount to a wall – there are even drywall anchors included. However, my 75” LG tv is on a fully articulating mount, and the bottom edge is away from the wall about 5 inches. I did fabricate a simple mount that brought the soundbar out in line with the tv, and it looks great.
Once the mounting was done, hook up is simple and straight forward. This has multiple options for hook-up / input:
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, optical / hdmi ARC,HDMI, and USB.
I used the HDMI ARC from tv to the sound bar input. The only other thing to do is to plug in the 2 units – the woofer first, then the sound bar. The soundbar will wirelessly connect to the woofer automatically.
When up and running, the soundbar has a display that lights up in the center of the bar. With the remote, there are quite a few adjustments – such as type of sound presets – sports, cinema, clear voice pro, music, standard, etc.
And, there are also separate bass / mid/ treble levels, and woofer, center, rear levels. There are numerous other settings that are accessed from the remote. Night time – for limiting dynamic range; auto power, surround, display, etc. There are control buttons on the side of the sound bar for the various things such as power, wi-fi, bluetooth, volume, etc.
As far as the sound, I found it to be quite awesome – especially from such a compact size. The bass effects hit with power, the vocals are clear, and the separation quite apparent. This makes watching a movie on your tv a real theater experience.
There are also wireless rear speakers that can be added for a complete surround system.
I really like the elegant looks of the soundbar / woofer, and overall, this unit quite surprised me with the sound output. I am impressed, and would advise anyone wanting to create a “theater atmosphere” in their listening area, to seriously consider this soundbar / woofer.

If you are interested in a sound system that sounds great, is low profile and mounts to the wall, this one may be perfect for you. I know it is perfect for me. I have been looking at different sound system options. My first thought was of course what kind of shelf do I need to build and will it fit the sound system properly. Then I got the opportunity to review this one and I am in love with it, it is exactly what I want. Are there superior sounding systems out there, sure, for the price point and that fit the need that I want, and unless you are an audiophile, you will not be disappointed, and even if you are, you might still be impressed playing around with the different settings. My dad loves sound systems, but he is also hard of hearing. The pro voice mode made him a believer in the system instantly. It brought the announcer’s voices in the game out perfectly and allowed them to cut though the noise in our own room just from lots of people. He could hear the voices perfectly which was game changing for him. I could as well and I loved it, but I’m not quite as hard of hearing as him.
Overall, I think the sound is awesome, I increased the base to almost full just because feel like the base gives a depth to sound that a sound bar without one can’t hope to replicate. Speaking of the base, it is wireless and can be placed in a convenient location (potentially hid away) which I have learned to appreciate. The sounds comes right at you and just sounds fantastic to me.
Mounting it was decently simple, the screws and anchors that come with it can work, but personally I have my own anchor kit that I trust more, so those were set aside for higher quality stuff. The mounts themselves are genius, they lock the sound bar in nicely, but it is simple to take off if I ever want to switch the type of input. The box included a paper that you tape to the wall to show exactly where to screw the mounts, so mounting was straight forward and easy.
Overall, I am happy with every aspect of this speaker system. It looks great, sounds great, it’s easy to install, and has multiple wireless connection options so I can pair my phone to it as well.

I purchased this soundbar provide better sound than my G3 OLED TV could but I also wanted something that would match the superior aesthetics of that TV. From an engineering standpoint, that thin profile is never going to enable the same sound quality as a larger soundbar designed for top notch sound so I was just looking for good sound, not great. I give it 4 stars for sound which is what I expected.
Where the soundbar falls down is the unexpected need for a separate power supply similar to a laptop power brick. In many installations (including mine) there is no place to hide this power brick particularly since the TV and soundbar are designed to lie flat against the wall. LG shows many pretty pictures of the installation looking clean against a wall but what they don’t show you is that the room on the other side of the wall must have wires sticking out of the wall along with a power brick. None of the pictures of this system show the power brick. The power brick is an unpleasant surprise. Since the whole purpose of this soundbar is to be aesthetically pleasing (Other LG soundbars can do everything this unit does and more), requiring a separate ugly power brick is a foul ball.
in Summary:
Sound is decent and much better than the TV alone but not audiophile quality.
Installation is easy but use the template as the wall mount locations are horizontally offset from where you would intuitively expect them to go.
Setup is simple.
Aesthetics: Unless you have a place to hide the power brick, You will not end up with a clean attractive install. If you can hide the power brick, the bar its self perfectly matches a 65″ G series.

I had high hopes for this soundbar, and I am happy to report that for the most part I am very satisfied with it. The first impression right out of the huge box is that it is much larger than I expected, at nearly the exact same width as my 65” LG OLED TV, and about 7 inches tall. It is super thin however, just over an inch thick. Those proportions mean that it would look weird if your TV is smaller than 65”, as it is clearly designed to be paired with larger screens. The intent for this soundbar is that it be used with an LG OLED TV, and it advertises being a precise match to the G series OLED, but my B2 looks great with it. An LG TV will also be able to utilize the interconnectivity between them, such as WOW Orchestra and AI Sound Pro. Both of those features make a difference in sound quality to my ears, and the soundbar and TV work seamlessly for volume and settings controls as well.
It is required to wall mount this bar; it cannot sit on an entertainment center. The mounting brackets which are included in the box are small and must be installed precisely or the bar will not sit on them correctly. Thankfully, it includes a template to use for getting the brackets placed properly and level and square with the TV. I took a slightly different approach for mounting it since my TV is on a full motion mount, by using a soundbar bracket to attach the included wall mount brackets to and then attach the bar to that combo. It worked perfectly, making it so it floats a couple of inches below my TV and is always lined up with wherever my TV is pointed. Unfortunately, for some reason the power supply is external which makes the mounted only soundbar more difficult to install cleanly. I would have preferred it to be a tiny bit thicker to internalize the power supply. The subwoofer is wireless and can be placed anywhere in the room as long as it is plugged into AC power. The bar itself has an HDMI passthrough, and an optical input and E-ARC HDMI port for connecting to your TV. It does not include rear speakers, and as I write this, they are completely unavailable, which is very disappointing. Thankfully, it still sounds great even without the rear channels, but I do wish I could find some and add them in for a fuller experience.
It is easy to control and see what’s going on with the small LED display in the center of the speaker grille, and physical controls on the right side. The remote is very familiar looking, like a smaller simplified version of the Magic Remote for the TV itself. It supports Apple Airplay and has Wi-Fi for a direct music streaming service connection for something like Spotify. The biggest downsides for it are that it is intended for a specific use case, namely you have an LG OLED TV and it is wall mounted. Then, if you want rear speakers they are extremely difficult to get, and the power brick gets in the way of a clean look. It’s not perfect, but it works great for me and I am happy with how it looks and sounds.
