If you've ever cranked your TV volume to 100 just to hear what someone’s whispering in a dimly lit crime drama, you’re not alone. And if you’ve ever had your furniture shake during an explosion—not from the movie but because your sound system is barely clinging on for dear life—you might want to upgrade. The good news? LG has been quietly (and now quite loudly) putting out soundbars that impress without charging a small fortune.
I took a close look at five LG soundbars that promise immersive audio experiences for every kind of listener. Whether you're a casual streamer, an audiophile, or someone who's just tired of tinny TV speakers, there’s something here for you.
Ever get spooked because you thought a noise came from behind you, only to realise it was just great audio design? Enter the LG SQ70TY. This 400W 3.1.1 channel bar punches well above its weight, thanks to Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
But the standout here is its centre-up-firing speaker. Translation? The audio feels like it's hovering in midair, not just coming at you head-on. It even includes a QNED mounting bracket, so it pairs perfectly with LG’s 2024 QNED TVs. Sound + aesthetics = harmony.

What’s missing:
No rear speakers, so while the vertical audio is great, surround purists might still crave more immersion.
Next up is the LG SQ75TR, a well-rounded upgrade for those who want their audio to rise up—literally. This 600W 5.1.1 channel system delivers Dolby Atmos, AI Sound Pro, and a centre up-firing speaker for immersive overhead effects.
The wireless subwoofer brings satisfying bass, and rear speakers with built-in receivers make setup refreshingly simple. This is where practicality and performance meet in perfect harmony.

This is the soundbar you get when you’ve got a popcorn machine, blackout curtains, and a deep love for Christopher Nolan films. The LG S90TY is a 570W 5.1.3 channel beast that doesn’t just play sound—it throws it at you from all directions.
Dolby Atmos and DTS Surround create a 3D audio environment that makes helicopters sound like they’re above your couch and makes dialogue feel like it's spoken next to you. This is the kind of tech that turns “watching a movie” into “experiencing a movie.”

Cables running across your floor like spaghetti? Not with the LG S65TR. This 600W 5.1 channel setup includes wireless rear speakers, which means you get true surround sound minus the tripping hazard.
Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround ensure rich, cinema-worthy audio, while AI Sound Pro saves you from fiddling with settings every time you switch from sports to sci-fi. It’s practical, powerful, and doesn’t ask for much in return.

You know those gadgets that cost less than you'd expect but perform better than you'd hoped? The LG S40T is that. This 300W 2.1 channel soundbar proves that decent audio doesn’t require a second mortgage.
Thanks to Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround, sound feels full-bodied and immersive—even when you're just watching a YouTube cooking tutorial. And the real MVP here? AI Sound Pro. It auto-adjusts the sound based on what you’re watching. News gets clarity, action gets punch, and you never have to touch a remote. That alone is a win.

These soundbars show LG isn’t just tinkering in audio—it’s competing hard. From budget-friendly upgrades to cinema-worthy setups, each model feels thoughtfully designed, not just specced out for the sake of it.
If you're building a home theatre or just trying to hear dialogue without subtitles, there's something here worth considering. And the best part? You won’t need to sell your soul (or your old vinyl collection) to afford one.
So, which one’s for you? The answer depends on what you value most: simplicity, immersion, or bragging rights. Either way, LG's got a soundbar that’ll have your ears—and your guests—doing a double-take.
