Featuring a dedicated center channel and dialogue enhancement feature, the LG SN6Y produces crisp dialogue in TV shows and movies. However, it doesn’t support surround sound or Atmos and lacks deep bass, so it’s not the best choice for movies.

Reviewers praised its excellent range of wired and wireless connectivity options. Thanks to low audio latency, users won’t notice any audio delays in dialogue scenes.

However, users will be disappointed that it doesn’t support Dolby Atmos and has mediocre low bass, although it has a dedicated subwoofer. It also lacks satellite speakers and downmixes surround sound to stereo, so this system is not as good for movies and games as 5.1 setups.

Consumers who prefer a 5.1 setup should check out our LG SL10YG review today.

What Is Not On the Box

What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

The LG SN6Y is a mid-range 3.1 channel sound bar first released in 2020, promising DTS Virtual:X sounds for living rooms and home theaters.

With features similar to the best 10 speakers on the market, this system delivers crisp dialogue. It gets remarkably loud and boasts a number of sound enhancement features, enabling users to customize the listening experience.

With a shared HDMI ARC+Out connector, full HDMI In port, and USB interface, this device provides hassle-free connectivity, and built-in Bluetooth supports wireless streaming.

However, it has a poor surround soundstage and doesn’t support Dolby Atmos, so it’s not very immersive during movies. And although it comes with a dedicated subwoofer, it’s incapable of producing thumping bass.
