The LG S95TR soundbar delivers fantastic audio quality and is packed with unique features that you’ll actually use.
LG released the S95TR soundbar earlier this year as a high-end complement to its newest OLED TVs, following much hype.
The soundbar and wireless subwoofer setup comes with a host of impressive features, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound, and lots of extra features accessible through its app.
I recently went hands-on with the soundbar to see if it was worth all the excitement. Let’s dig in.
The S95TR includes four components: a main soundbar, subwoofer, and two small rear speakers. The good thing about the subwoofer and rear speakers is that they’re wireless, so no additional cords are needed aside from the power connections and main HDMI cord.
The main concern that prevented me from committing to a surround sound setup in the first place was having to deal with wires running across my room, so I definitely appreciate the fact that it’s wireless.
In order to take advantage of all the features, however, you’ll need to download the LG Soundbar app. It’s a little inconvenient that this is different from the LG ThinQ app that controls LG TVs, especially given that you’ll probably use it regularly, but that’s a minor quibble.
Setup was simple. After plugging in the speakers in the instructed order, installing the app, and adding the soundbar to the app, the speakers go through a process that tunes them specifically to your room setup.
