LG recently introduced the S95TR soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, priced at $1,499. Although it may seem expensive, the high-quality audio it delivers makes it worth the cost. The soundbar is designed to complement LG’s newest OLED TVs and comes with impressive features such as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound, as well as additional features accessible through its app.
Upon testing the LG S95TR soundbar, I found that it consists of a main soundbar, subwoofer, and two small rear speakers, all of which are wireless, eliminating the need for extra cords running across the room. Setting up the soundbar was a simple process that involved downloading the LG Soundbar app, which tunes the speakers to your room setup for optimal performance. The soundbar proved to be significantly louder and clearer than the built-in speakers of the TV, providing an enhanced audio experience.
One notable feature of the LG S95TR soundbar is its up-firing center speaker, which improves dialogue clarity and makes it easier to follow conversations without missing any words. The soundbar excelled in various movie tests, highlighting its ability to deliver realistic background sound and immersive audio that captures every detail.
For those concerned about disturbing others while watching movies, the Night Time mode reduces the subwoofer output and tones down the audio without compromising the surround sound experience. Gamers will appreciate the 120 Hz HDR10 passthrough support, ensuring minimal delays in sound transmission for an enhanced gaming experience.
Despite its price tag, the LG S95TR soundbar offers exceptional audio quality and ease of use, making it a worthwhile investment for those seeking a premium sound experience. While the soundbar is compatible with any TV, it is optimized for LG’s B4, C4, and G4 OLED TVs, with some features exclusive to these models. Overall, the LG S95TR soundbar stands out as a top pick for audio quality and performance, surpassing other systems in its class.
