LG - S95TR

I recently upgraded to the S95TR. Since it's cheaper than getting a receiver and a bunch of speakers I was skeptical, but after tuning them in the settings my mind is blown. Tons of bass from the subwoofer, the atmos is amazing (use reference discs like Ready Player one or the 7.1 Japanese track for Godzilla Minus One). One thing I did find out was to zero out all the settings in the LG ThinQ before calibrating. You'll get the most bass possible out of them

I said this before , but if you want the soundbar for Movies you cant go wrong with the LG S95TR. That will give you the best sound with WOW orchestra. For a We'll balanced Movies, Gaming , and TV Q990C , B , D , F.. Alternatives if you're on a budget. Amazon Fire TV Soundbar 5.1 TCL Q85H JBL Bar 1000 or 1300X Vizio Elevate Hisense AX5125H. I want to try out Hisense HT Saturn 4.1.2Ch 😂

The LG S95TR is the soundbar specifically designed for the G series. There's a few different technologies in it, but the big one is WOW Orchestra where it uses the 4 TV speakers as well as the soundbar. The only option for that TV that's better would be the Sony Quad.

The Quad does get pricey but definitely worth the buy. The LG has a few other customization Quick Switches for EQ and speaker usage, and definitely a cheaper option between the two.

The q90 is better but not by much, I have both and the 95tr is still a good soundbar.

LG S95TR is pretty good

I've gotten WOW to work for maybe a day or 2 total in the year plus I owned the setup. I have the 990D in the other room and it just sounds superior to the LG bar. I've been considering swapping them and using the LG bar on the cheap TV since there really is no comparison between the 2. Right now the LG bar is actually showing the volume on the TV as I change it, and that's pretty rare as well, half the time I'm looking at the bar to see the level

I have a 77” C4 and have the S95TR. I’m very happy with the performance. Granted I lived in an apartment, so I’m usually playing a show or movie at less than 25. The performance and channel separation is great, and atmos performance is particularly good. It also plays Apple Spatial Audio particularly well.

Rtings gave the LG 95TR a good score,its worth a try. I own a 995F and bass is pretty good ,I barely go over 30 in my 10ft x 30ft room.

I use a shield with an LG C5 and S95TR soundbar. I had to make sure the TV was set to use the soundbar as wired (via eARC) and sound output set to passthrough. Otherwise the TV would down sample when sending to soundbar. I couldn't just passthrough the soundbar because often it wouldn't pass the DV through.

I initially bought the LG one you referenced but returned it after reading the reviews. The 990’s were consistently rated higher and the app for Samsung is solid and I read the LG app has issues. I got the 990D but that’s only because I was given a price matched discount (significant).

Hi there, I have the same LG OLED, love it. I paid it with the LG S95TR which I found to be an excellent sound bar. However I was really unimpressed with the sub and limited tweaking to sound. Low frequencies sounded a bit muddy in comparison to the Sonos (at the time I was rocking some of those being Gen 2 and sub gen 3 ) at this time currently looking at Samsung since I'm looking for DTS support. My only downfall with Sonos. Overall a bit subjective but I did prefer the Sonos sound and that was from the smaller bar I've listened to Sonos arc and found that to be great. Tbh better than the LG. Perhaps you're looking at LG to pair with your G4 OLED for the "wow orchestra" it was good helped fill in the sound stage but end of the day still using the internal tv speakers. Wasn't for me Any luck on your end?

Ignore the “audiophile” snobs. I have an AV setup with marantz AVR, sub, martin logan B2 bookshelf speakers, and in ceiling sparkers in my living room. I also have an lg s95tr soundbar with my LG G5 in my media room. Both sound incredible. Modern soundbars can be really good especially if you can get some rear speakers synced up

not a samsung fanboy, but the way the pricing has been presented is quite false, and the LG alas is really terrible when it comes to sound, at least the TR generation for sure.

you’ll never see anyone agree, but easily the LG S95TR/AR for me. best surround-price ratio and the sub is clean and heavy asf, sounds great for music too esp with Dolby Atmos/Audio and Neural:X enabled. can’t recommend enough!

really? i also have an S95TR and i think it sounds great- i actually upgraded from a Q930D and the LG definitely has better audio fidelity and bass response- do you have yours in Cinema mode? helps a lot lol

i love my S95TR, it has phenomenal low ends that are deep but really tight- i genuinely don’t get the hate either! i’ve also had an S70TR and that was easily the best soundbar for under $500 that you can get (or the S80 when it’s on sale lol). there seems to just be a hate train for LG for some reason, i’ve tried many systems and it’s easily my fave

hm, maybe it was a dud? mine sounds phenomenal, and it has the same sub as the S80- with higher output granted but it’s super crisp and clear while still delivering crazy bass performance. maybe you’d have to fine tune the settings more or angle it differently? or maybe it’s just personal preference lol idk

it fully depends on your space- i’ve had the q990 and the s95tr, and i stuck with the LG mainly because my space is asymmetrical, which the LG handles a lot better. samsung uses wall reflections a lot, so unless the setup is centered in the room, LG’s speaker placement is best for anything smaller or off-center like mine. plus using the app and fine-tuning everything gave me a way better sound than the Q990 imo

i personally use the LG S95TR, and its a phenomenal music bar- punchy bass and evenly spread sound, and it doesn’t use nearly as many wall reflections as the Q990’s do so an imperfect setup is less of a big deal. plus it has speakers that converge behind you to create a really convincing rear center channel. i also had the Q990F and changed it for the same issue, but im much happier now- just put it in cinema mode and turn up the center channel lol

Bonjour je viens d'acquérir le s95tr et je suis déçu des basses elle sont pratiquement inexistante malgré qu'elle soit réglé à fond pourtant en lisant vos commentaires tous le monde trouve génial j'aimerai avoir votre aide pour des réglage je regarde aussi les contenus en plateforme streaming Netflix exct sur ps5 si cela peut aidé merci 

Got a LGS95TR and it’s dog shit I hate it so much, going to have to swapped over for the Samsung Q990D but thought I should just ask here first Heard something about you can get the Sony Bravia Theatre 9 and pair it with Klipsch sub and rear speakers? Want rears, centre and sub

I have s95tr and i am disappointed with Sound so get samsung q990d

Get s95rt it's gud I have it and u save a lot by buying it

i had the LG S95tr for hmm 5 hours and returned it ,, it was just a bad soundbar, so if you can , then avoid the LG one

Yeah using it with lg tv , but lg can make fantastic tv but they should not go into the sound world 😂 , they sound like sitting on a plastic tube listing to music and movies, and they struggle with voices in movies, 

Great to hear since I’ve seen some mixed reviews online. I bought the S95TR for my new townhouse, but won’t be moving in until the end of this month. The store demoed the S90TR for me which sounded pretty cool itself, so I’m pumped. I’m coming from a traditional 5.1 surround sound set up from my family’s house, but it wasn’t Atmos/DTS:X compatible.

Lg S95TR is best if tuned properly. It has huge bass gives you theatre vibes. Also samsung q930F is overhyped. Even if you listen side by side it can beat sony home theatre 9

I had to do the towel trick , and to be honest a month into the s95tr it seems to cut out bad from WiFi interference. Move your 5g router as far away from Soundbar as you can. Shove a towel in the subwoofer “hole” and wrap it in a blanket and run calibration… I know ridiculous, then unwrap the sub and it seems way better. My problem is the damn crackling and popping noises this thing makes when it’s not getting a good signal to the sub or something. Restarting the soundbar seems to be a temp fix but the issues that I’ve had suck. It sounds great and I really like it when it works, but I can’t recommend it a $1000-$1500 price point with its issues.

Yes. You can get an S75QR with subwoofer used on eBay for like $150. Nobody notices a minor ding or dent on a soundbar. I just got an S95TR off eBay and love it. I just ordered an S95QR to upgrade another room too.

I just got the S95TR and connected it to my C2. I bought one used on eBay for about $700. It sounds great. The wow orchestra works, but I suspect it isn't adding much to the experience.

I really like my S95TR so much that I bought an S95QR for another property. You can get them on eBay for $500-$900.

The LG is a better value for your money. It supports all audio codecs (especially DTS:X, DTS-HD MA - Both formats found on Blu-ray/UHD Disks or via Remux files through Plex, JellyFin, etc..). It also has HDMI in so incase you want to plug something directly into the soundbar (ie. Cable management) and it has Optical In natively. Not only is it cheaper than the whole Sonos immersive set with the Arc Ultra when it’s all said and done but it also rates slightly better than the Sonos setup across the board with the exception of music ([see in-depth comparison review here](https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/tools/compare/lg-s95tr-vs-sonos-ultimate-immersive-set-with-arc-ultra/49693/80854)) Goodluck and great choice on the G4!

I just got the lg s95tr and super happy with it. I got an lg g5 tv so they pair nicely. I find that with the sound bars if you have a dedicated device like a Sony x700 blue ray player that plays music thrue apps it’s better vs tv os.

More expensive ones might be better but what really matters is how yours sounds in your living space. If it sounds good, keep it. I had an Onn which I liked alright, did the job for the space. Was pretty close in sound to the Vizio ones I also had. For your budget, the Vizio soundbars are the only other ones I would recommend only because I had a sync issue with the Onn after a while. I’ve got an LG S95TR ($1,499.99) and sounds a bit better but only marginally in specific movies. I’m no audiophile, when I go downstairs and watch a movie, the $250 Vizio 5.1 soundbar fills the space just the same.

s95tr fine by me after few tweaks 

on atmos and dix definately not a gimmick , I have the LG s95 3 upfirers on the soundbar , and two upfirers on the rears as well as 2 side firing , 4 front firing and a subwoofer, massive difference

Samsung Q990D is a recommended soundbar but in my opinion; if you have LG OLED TV like me, LG soundbar would be the best. The reason is LG WOW Orchestra feature. I live in an apartment and the sound passes to the neighbors a lot, they balanced the sound very well with WOW Orchestra, so I can use the soundbar all the time, neighbors are not disturbed.

If you want WOW orchestra to be a crucial part of your experience then go the LG. If you don’t care about the feature. See if about the q930d or 990d if you’re able to get a good discount via Samsungs website.
