The USC9S is a valiant attempt by LG to bring some genuine design innovation to the soundbar world.

The SC9S is built to help you experience the action you’re watching on screen, and with content like Ahsoka and others, it knocks it out of the park.

Until that happens, I’ll likely be watching with Wow Orchestra off, and finding satisfaction with the SC9S’s already substantial wow factor.

The LG SC9 is very good for mixed usage. This 3.1.3 bar has two center channels to ensure that dialogue is clear in the mix with both movies and TV shows.

If you are looking for a true Dolby Atmos soundbar, you won’t have read this far because it is not what you want.

Tons of features and supported formats. Clear, detailed dialog. Impressive overhead effects. Punchy bass response with included subwoofer. HDMI 2.1 input for next-gen gaming support. App makes adjustments simple and easy.

The LG Sound Bar SC9S is a challenging recommendation, especially considering its price tag of over $1000.

The feature set and LG TV symbiosis elements are impressive, but they don’t make up for the SC9S’s mediocre sound quality
