LG S80QR Silver 5.1.3 Channels 620 W Hardware/Electronic

I am a self-confessed movie fanatic, so I was so excited to be the owner of this set- and was ready to put it through its paces, and it more than delivered.Getting set-up was straight forward and fast, the design is sleek and complimentary to the surroundings, and the speakers are easy to position when you follow the guide.Once you are ready to go, the Bluetooth functionality is fantastic with music, especially with lossless streaming services. However, the soundbar truly shines when watching movies. The amount of technology squeezed in really does promise a lot, and in my experience it more than delivers.The sound is crisp and truly immersive, and when paired with the thunderous roars of the bass, you would believe you were at the cinema. Even at low volume ... MoreI am a self-confessed movie fanatic, so I was so excited to be the owner of this set- and was ready to put it through its paces, and it more than delivered.Getting set-up was straight forward and fast, the design is sleek and complimentary to the surroundings, and the speakers are easy to position when you follow the guide.Once you are ready to go, the Bluetooth functionality is fantastic with music, especially with lossless streaming services.

Even at low volume levels, the performance really does stand out. Thanks to streaming services hosting titles with Atmos and IMAX enhanced, the performance of this is unparalleled, and it truly has the chance to blow you away.I also tried this out gaming, and the quality of this soundbar’s performance not only enhanced the experience but fully transformed it into an immersive experience.Normally I have lots of peeves that I pick up when using new products, but truly this has met and exceeded my expectations. I am confident that the S80QR would be the jewel of every sound fanatic’s crown.

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. There are many settings but if you're not a technical ... MoreWe have always relied on John Lewis for our considered purchase and this one was no different.

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.

For clarity and fairness I'm writing this as someone coming from a full custom 5.1 setup so my view will be compared against this not simply TV speakers. The setup process is very straight forward with the only fiddly part deciding where to place the rear speaker box as it needs power. The included speaker cables for the rears are colour coded for positive and negative and feel high quality and as such as nice touch. The subwoofer is huge and heavy and inspires confidence in its ability to deliver deep low bass. The main soundbar is an excellent design that is aesthetically pleasing enough to have on display without being covered in speaker grills. The hidden display that only comes on when powered is a nice touch. The accompanying app allows the soundstage to be ... MoreFor clarity and fairness I'm writing this as someone coming from a full custom 5.1 setup so my view will be compared against this not simply TV speakers. The setup process is very straight forward with the only fiddly part deciding where to place the rear speaker box as it needs power. The included speaker cables for the rears are colour coded for positive and negative and feel high quality and as such as nice touch. The subwoofer is huge and heavy and inspires confidence in its ability to deliver deep low bass. The main soundbar is an excellent design that is aesthetically pleasing enough to have on display without being covered in speaker grills. The hidden display that only comes on when powered is a nice touch. The accompanying app allows the soundstage to be auto calibrated for your room setup and allows the soundbar to be easily connected to the wifi for music and alexa streaming. The soundstage when connected via arc to my 6800xt gpu with dolby atmos was impressive. The music scores in the Revenant film and the deep bass of arrow thump hit hard. The rear speakers despite a single driver and small size punched hard and provided excellent surround sound when required without feeling like they struggled. Vocals did appear to be a little low at first but a quick change to the center channel via the app to boost this balanced it nicely. Its an impressive sound for such a sleek package and I was more than happy enough to get rid of my bulky old 5.1 setup for this. The passthrough works perfectly with both PC and PS5 allows VRR but only up to 4k 60. Tested optical input and BT streaming and both worked as expected with no perceptible audio issues. As with everything nothing is perfect. The feet of the soundbar as simple rubber nubs and not adjustable so to clear the TV stand I had to use some isolation speaker mounts see picture. Adjustable feet would be a great addition. As previously mentioned 4k @60hz should ideally be 4k @120hz at this price range same as competitors but not a deal breaker for most users. Rear speaker wall mounts should also be included.
