I have an LG B4 OLED an recently bought an LG ST80 sound bar. At the beginning was a bit disappointed; low bass and sound improvement from TV speakers wasn't that noticeable, leaving aside "sound level". But started to watch shows with atmos audio and started to loved. The height sound wasn't impressive so I decided to buy the rear speakers and it was a game change. My main concern about the rear speakers was where to place then since my couch was back to the wall, so after some research I went for a behind couch shelf. It looks very nice and have the possibility to move the rear speakers as needed. Still not impressed about height sound, but definitely very satisfied with my ST80. I move the bass behind my TV, and because of my room dispositions turns out that was the best placement, the bass quality improve a lot. I decided at the beginning for a LG soundbar due to wow features. But after using it; Orchestra not noticeable and not using wow sync since found some interference. So it is connected via hdmi eArc. But the possibility to use the same remote controller for TV is very nice. I haven't used nor hear the Samsung soundbar so I have no opinion regarding it. I did try the Sony System 6 and got impressed about the height sound, however, I prefer the LG one. My budget wasn't enough to go for the LG S90TR but in the future do not discard to upgrade to that one for the extra height speakers
I really got impressed by sony bravia bar 6 listen at the store, great heights and good bass. I went for a lg s80t (without rears) since I have an lg oled and I'm pretty happy with it. Lg height and bass are not very impressive but I think the overall sound is very good
Should I not buy one off of fb marketplace for $420 the LG S80TR?
I bought it for $350 but it’s been really good. The sound is so much better than I expected
Funny, I just bought the 65" QM751G for $639 (clearance sale at BestBuy) and the S80TR for $250 from Walmart yesterday. I feel super lucky to have found those deals right when I needed them for the place I'm moving to.
Based on my sample size of 1, I don’t suggest Vizio. Mine started fine, but something changed somewhere and it stopped receiving surround sound signals from my TV. As time went on it was giving me more troubles. I just got an LG 5.1.3 that has been great so far. I didn’t think the Vizio sounded bad, but the LG sounds better, especially when it comes to the surrounding effects, I notice them way more. All that to say though, I got a crazy deal from Walmart for mine so it may not be in your $650 range normally.
To be specific, I got the LG S80TR Edit: Looks like you are correct, it’s currently on sale for $550.
I bought the LG S80T and installed it yesterday. Not sure if I am doing something wrong with the LG c5 setup but the sound has no umph. I am not hearing any sound coming out of the sound bar front speakers. All I hear is the 3 up firing speakers. I would appreciate any tweaks or confirmation if I need to setup differently. So far, I am quite disappointed
I picked up the lg s80tr on a steep discount at Walmart for 250$ a month ago. It is wireless and 5.1.3. I enjoy it very much with my qm8k. It has good reviews on rtings. Is it the best…nope… but bang for your buck at that price point It will be tough to beat. Definitely not worth it at its non discounted price of like $700
If you can get the lg s95tr on sale I'm very happy with mine, otherwise the lg s80tr seems pretty good 👍
I just go an lg s80tr from Amazon for that price. It does have rears but they are completely wireless, individually powered so you can put them where you want. [LG S80TR 5.1.3](https://a.co/d/680jqOG)
It has plenty bass. Not as much as sony or samsumg but hard to beat a whole setup for around $500 to $600.
Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to look into these models. I will say, the S80 Sounds better with the app calibration. I think the JBL Bar 800 may be as far as I need to go if I went that way. I'm just at a computer desk. I haven't looked into the others, but I'll check them out.
What is your ceiling height, that is what is important for Atmos, I just picked up the LG S80 TR my living room is not the perfect setup, TV is in the corner but the soundbar sounds amazing rear speakers Doolby Atmos. Great investment makes your TV come alive
I have 9 foot ceilings and the soundbar sounds amazing
I just bought the LG 65 " TV and paired it with the s80 tr LGs 5-1 3 while I'm not a sound tech. This sounds amazing. Living room is 12 x24 and it fills the space with full quality sounds
LG S80TR gets my vote! better height presence
