Was in a similar situation deciding between the two. After lot of research decided with the sc9s. Just buy sc9s with rear speakers (LG SPQ8-S). I just purchased it last night. Best combo with your LG OLED. I tested the sc9s with my LG OLED55C4-6LA yesterday and I really loved it. Plus it comes with a bracket to attach to the TV. So when you buy your LG TV, go for the Wall mount option as you wont need the table top if you're buying this speaker. I can just imagine how it would be with the rear speakers. \*excited\*. Plus, the sc9s has Wi-Fi and has Chromecast and Airplay2. It also comes with IMAX Enhanced & WOW Orchestra which will enhance your experience. I got it at 31k on Flipkart (with 2k card discount) + card rewards. Bought the rear speakers (LG SPQ8-S) at 7910 after discount from the LG website. (It was at 8k. Got 5% welcome discount + 2 promo codes from customer care for 5% and 2%). Was a challenge with delivery as it was not available at most pincodes. I'm having the SPQ8-S delivered to another state and having someone bring it to me. :( Totally around 38k which is almost same price as sq75tr but with better features and perfect fit for your TV. Take a call now.
r/Soundbars • LG SQ75TR quick review - India model ->I got the LG OLED matching SC9S and I’m very happy with it for my 65” C4. I think I’m going to get another one for my other 65” C4 too.
r/LGOLED • Need a simple soundbar recommendation for my new C4 OLED ->I’ll second that. SC9S is awesome and integrates perfectly (WOW CINEMA) with the C4 and allows ALL the speakers to sync up together.
r/Soundbars • Sound bar recommendations for LG OLED C4 ->I have a lower versions SC9S paired with rear speakers. Most reviewers said it’s not as good as Sony or Bose but I got it a discount ($250 for bar but had to pay $160 for rear speakers). I say it’s not as good as a dedicated surround sound setup and upward facing speakers are not effective for Atmos. Front L&R is not as separated on my bar but s95qr has dedicated outward firing L&R so it should sound better. Overall it is a cheap way to dip your toes into surround sound. I didn’t find the wow orchestra or ai sound profiles to be good. They give a wider soundstage but it affects the quality. I just stick to standard settings.
r/Soundbars • LG S95QR Soundbar ->I bought the combo as it was on sale. The SC9S is, frankly, appalling. The TV sounds better. Do not waste your money. The other thing to note is the User Interface of the LG is also dreadful. A TV with google TV is going to be much better. If you use your TV and not some sort of box it is a consideration. The magic remote is quite frustrating.
r/LGOLED • Is soundbar necessary for LG C4? ->I've only seen this mentioned on What HiFi. They love it. Does anyone have experience of it and what do you think? Bit concerned it doesn't have a sub, although it has one built in. [https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/bandw-panorama-3](https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/bandw-panorama-3) At the moment I have an LG SC9S which I bought on sale as a package with a C4. It is truly dreadful. The TV sounds better. I found a thread asking is it as bad a What Hi Fi describes. Yes it is. Tried all of the different sound profiles with successes from mediocre to bad. Prior to this I had a sony ht ct770 on an older Sony TV. I really liked the sound of it - natural and well rounded. Unfortunately, the LG would not play well with it. It's overwhelming reading all of the review sites. I'm trying to find something for about $AUD600-800. The panorama is around $1600 but there a couple of sites with big discounts including one for $990. Other mid range recommended are the Sony HT-S2000 ($699), Samsung hw-q800d ($880) Sonos Beam gen 2 ($799 - not sure given the current issues). yamaha true x bar 50a ($880). Do LG TV's still have probelms with Sony Soundbars? What would you recommend in this price range?
r/Soundbars • Thoughts on Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3 ->I got SC9S with rear speakers. Nice soundbar it is! Made for C series OLED
r/Soundbars • Soundbar recommendations for C4 ->I can’t speak to the jbl, but I had the lg sc9s. I really liked it, much better than my Bose tv speaker. I only moved on when I replaced the tv with an s95d and splurged on the q990d to match.
r/Soundbars • What do I buy? LG sc9s 3.1.3 or JBL bar 500 pro 5.1. ->I had the Klipsch cinema 600, which just died after three years. Luckily, I bought it from my cousin who manages an electronics store, so he was able to use his managerial powers to replace it. With the rear speaker kit, it actually sounded pretty fantastic... But its death was a known issue. I wanted to try their new soundbars, which are made with Onkyo, but the sub was a separate purchase. He paired my LG c3 with their sc9s. It works so well with the TV. But the sound isn't as expansive as the Klipsch. hash-tag first world problems.
r/Soundbars • This sub recently ->You can use sc9s without an OLED tv. You can use it with a pc monitor too. I guess it comes with tv brackets that allow you to install the soundbar with no drilling. Ignore the brackets, and use it with any tv.
r/Soundbars • Best Soundbar for condo: LG SC9S or other? ->I’m glad it worked out for you. Unfortunately I hated it and it sounded like a tin can. I did end up getting the SC9S and rear speakers to get surround sound and honestly was better satisfied. I know it’s not perfect either but saving up for when I have a house for a better sound setup.
r/LGOLED • LG C3 has awesome sound ->I have a LG C4 55" tv and I want to get a soundbar for it. I have a pretty good deal on LG Soundbars so I narrowed my options to this brand. I use the tv in a small gaming room and I won't add surround speakers. I sit 60 inches (1.50m) in front of the TV and I use it mostly for gaming. I love the Synergy bracket from the SC9S and I really like the idea of not having to worry about the soundbar covering part of the tv. However, the S90TY seems (vastly?) superior. The SC9S is slightly smaller (which is a plus), but the S90TY is a 5.1.3 system. Do those 2 "lateral" extra speakers of the S90TY really help on having a better soundstage? One one hand I like the idea of having "the best" soundstage I can get for a 55" tv in relatively small room, on the other hand I think the SC9S might be more than enough since I sit close and overall the integration with the tv might be sleeker. Help me decide between one or the other. Thank you!
r/Soundbars • LG SC9S or LG S90TY for a small room with 55" C4? ->I have the LG SC9S paired with my LG C4 and I think it’s great.
r/Soundbars • Best soundbar without rear speakers? ->What tv you got? I went with the LG SC9S, mostly because of the integrated mount/stand bracket. Looks and works great on my 55" LG C3. Really was just looking for something that sounded better than the tv speakers, especially for dialogue, and this fit the bill. Also got a good deal on eBay. New in the box for $375.
r/Soundbars • What do I buy? LG sc9s 3.1.3 or JBL bar 500 pro 5.1. ->Bought the LG SC9S for my LG C3. Really like the bracket/stand that comes with it. As far as the sound goes, I'm extremely underwhelmed. Tried multiple settings, and still the sound is not great. The subwoofer is weak and almost non existent. I guess my expectations were to high. Might sell the sound bar and sub, and keep the bracket. See if I can mount a Samsung sound bar on it.
r/Soundbars • Will sound bar improve my cheap tv sound ? ->I have the C4 and bought the LG SC9S soundbar + compatible rear speakers SPQ8-S for a total of 490$ in Romania and I am pretty happy with the setup. Sure, not the best, but for this budget, it’s perfect. Sound is good, and you get an under-the-tv mount for the soundbar that’s made specifically for C2/C3/C4
r/Soundbars • Sound bar recommendations for LG OLED C4 ->I got the sc9s, and it works great. Wow orchestra integration works really well. I'm not an expert sound enthusiast but makes a world of difference. My living room is 15x15, so anything more powerful seems excessive. I think you can get it cheaper on Amazon but this is the one. https://www.lg.com/us/sound-bars/lg-sc9s-sound-bar
r/LGOLED • Soundbar recommendations for C4? ->https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/reviews/lg/sc9s I'm not super picky when it comes to soundbars, I think it's great.
r/LGOLED • Soundbar recommendations for C4? ->I got LG SC9S Soundbar. It was on sale when it is bought with LG C4 around 70%. The original price was 23.499 TL (around $670), it became 7000 TL ($200)
r/LGOLED • Is soundbar necessary for LG C4? ->I bought it yesterday, it is going to be setup today. I also bought LG SC9S because it was on sale 70% when I bought LG C4.
r/LGOLED • Is soundbar necessary for LG C4? ->Mine sounds pretty good with SC9S - you have to configure the audio correctly! I also bought the rear speakers and it works very well!
r/LGOLED • Is soundbar necessary for LG C4? ->LG SC9S, not as expensive as other suggestions out there but definitely outperforms jbl, samsung and sony I purchased it a week ago after trying all of them. For a 20ft x 20ft room , it feels enough. Also, it has the option of adding 2 rear speakers separately.
r/Soundbars • Best Soundbar without rear speakers? ->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.
r/LGOLED • I need suggestions with soundbars ->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.
r/Soundbars • What is the Best Surround Sound System? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
