Top critics adore the boomy sound profile and Dolby Atmos tech of the LG SN8YG soundbar, and they approve it for TV dialogue, music, and movies. Experts at Tech Hive love its dedicated subwoofer, producing bass-heavy vibes that will appeal to EDM and hip-hop music enthusiasts. During testing, reviewers at TechRadar praised its huge selection of wired and wireless connectivity options.
Testing revealed a remarkably loud sound output, which is fit for smaller indoor parties. This system has very low audio latency, so it’s pretty good with dialogue-heavy TV shows. You can also control this device with built-in Google Assistant or iOS and Android mobile apps. Sound enhancement features such as EQ presets, an auto volume mode, and dialogue enhancement enable fine-tuning the settings as needed.
Although it has a discrete center channel and supports Dolby Atmos and 5.1 PCM, it downmixes surround sound to stereo and doesn’t provide that immersive 3D soundstage that many movie buffs crave.
