Overview
A wireless subwoofer handles the bass while the slim bar carries the rest, and DTS Virtual:X processing adds a sense of height and width from just two front channels. The LG soundbar connects by optical cable or Bluetooth.
A wireless subwoofer and virtual surround give a TV fuller sound with little setup. HDMI is not mentioned in the listing, so TV hookup relies on the included optical cable.
Who it's for
Apartment and living room viewers upgrading thin TV speakers get bass and width with simple wiring. Home theater fans after real Atmos channels should choose a larger system.
Pros and cons
- Virtual surround processing
- High resolution audio support
- Can add wireless rear speakers
- Wall mount bracket included
- HDMI connection not listed
- Rear speakers sold separately
- Virtual, not physical, surround
- Low channel count for big rooms
Performance notes
Width and height cues come from DTS Virtual:X processing rather than added drivers, so the effect depends on room walls and seating position. The wireless subwoofer can be placed freely for even bass. Adding the optional rear speakers turns virtual rears into real ones.
