Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Good Soundbar not good integrtion with LG TV.

S B 71 12/17/2024

This is a good soundbar once it settles down and allows me to stay on the correct input. When first turning it on it swaps around from input to input. This causes my tv to switch inputs to try to keep up. Both LG.

I became a sound bar fan in 2022

Dave the man 4/7/2024

I Brought this product from best buy as a open box. I was excited to own a sound bar I just didnt like the price as I knew at the time LG was going to discontinue the sound bar. I also had the thought of what if I was stuck with a bricked device of a few months of using it. I have to say that LG still supports the soundbar now in 2024 and I hope they continue to do so. The sound that this home theater sound bar has paired with the rear speaker kit is amazing. I would recommend the new line up its worth looking into enjoy

Great value sound. Compact theater experience

Jordan Powell 12/30/2023

Bought this for our living room when we moved to a new house. It was meant to provide a temporary movie experience until we could finish the basement and set up our theater equipment. I definitely wasnt expecting this to sound as good as our $2k 5.1 home theater setup

Great soundbar some challenges with interference

JediPy 12/6/2023

Good soundbar and wireless subwoofer combination. What prevents me from giving 5 stars is the fact that after a few months of use I started getting a lot of loud popping noise from the subwoofer on loud bass sounds. The support documentation indicates its like wireless interference from something but nothing changed in my house. I factory reset everything and also tried another suggestion to unplug everything to let any static electricity discharge and plug it back in - that solved it for a while. Eventually I tried several locations in my living room and finally found one that didnt have an issue. Overall its a great soundbar and wireless subwoofer but I wish it had better interference shielding.

Sounds good....when it works.

Portland Paul 11/21/2023

Purchased this from Best Buy in 2021. The sound from the bar and sub woofer are amazing and fills the room nicely when it stays connected. However the woofer drops the connection often for a second then reconnects. This happens multiple times at random while using it for TV sound or for just music. Additionally within a couple months of buying it became discontinued and the only compatible rear speakers are not available. I purchased this with the explicit idea of adding the rear speakers later but am not able to. So for $700 I got an good sounding system that works some of the time and was obsolete within a year. Once the sub woofer decides to stop connecting I assume Ill just have the sound bar which on its own is fairly underpowered. Tried to stay with LG but not likely going forward and will just stick with their TVs and not audio.

Having no option to buy the rear speakers because it was discontinued and nothing else is compatible is a rip off

Dont use LG

Ross1981 7/16/2023

Horrible product quality. Once the warranty died so did the subwoofer. Cant replace it since its tied to that specific subwoofer. Stay away from LG. Their char reps dont read attachments dont read your intial questions and want you to repeat yourself ten times.

I was told by Best Buy and LG this sound bar was compatible with the SPQ8-S surround speakers. I can never get the receiver to stop flashing Gree.

Surround sound price and easy set up

awesomeou812 3/22/2023

I had this for almost 2 weeks now and for the price you cant beat it. This is the closest you can come to theater listening with a center channel package as I have a nice Klipsch set up with 2 10 subs needless to say Im very happy I got this for our living room.
