LG SPD7Y 3.1.2 Channel High Res Audio Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and Bluetooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been happy with LG products but this one isn’t their best work. The sound level and tone changes intermittently. When it’s working it’s a great sound bar but very annoying when I pops in and out

HDMI/earc connection not fully supported. Cannot consistently control soundbar through TV remote.

After one year I got popping and static sounds. Now a few months after that the sound drops out and just isn’t right. For that first year it was great but definitely not worth the money. I enjoyed my last soundbar which is why I went back to lg. Will change brands in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this over a month ago, was the easiest to set up and operate. The sound selection is great.

It might sound good, but this was one of the hardest devices I have ever had to install. Not only does it NOT have a light to tell you if it is actually on but the little booklet isn’t clear about how to connect to your TV, and the phone App doesn’t seem to help at all. It took ages, and then “suddenly” it was connected. How terrifying when you feel challenged enough to screw things to the wall for that “huge” TV the wife wanted, but then this add-on was causing way more problems that the TV. I started to ask myself if we really needed this black box, when the new TV had better speakers anyhow. Maybe I have been spoilt with the new technology for yet simply fed me the codes and next steps, but this process was way “below” what I have become used to when I buy new electronics these days. Sorry guys, but you do need to do better for us clunks!

Bought this less than a year ago and am now constantly getting the power noises and static someone else talked about in their review. Total waste for the amount paid on this soundbar.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ended up returning this one after speaking with an LG representative. Sound bar was making some popping noises. Definitely noticeable during dialogue. I ended up purchasing the LG S80. Totally rocks! Much better than the SPD7Y. And it was more expensive but I am happy with the purchase! I love that I can Bluetooth my phone to the sound bar to hear music without having to turn on the TV! Good bass sounds too!

Installed this with a new LG TV about three weeks ago. I was very pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to hook up - pretty much plug and play. Sound is fantastic, thinking about adding the rear satellite speakers in a bit. I thought the LG TV sound was good by itself until hooking up the SPD7Y - what a difference: more richness, nice bass, etc. First experience with using an ARC-E device, really like the easy install and one remote capability. Between this soundbar and the LG TV there are SO MANY options that it can be overwhelming to sort out what you want. I've been happy with most of the out of the box settings - clear voice really helps us older folks understand some of the dialogue that can be muddled with foreign accents, and generally poor diction on the actors' parts.

I purchased this LG soundbar thinking it would enhance the audio experience from my new 65” smart television. I was terribly mistaken and very disappointed with this under powered weak bass soundbar! The audio output is marginally acceptable for average tv programming but, it fails dramatically when it comes to viewing movies! No adjustments to the soundbar audio outputs improves the sound especially the bass. If you enjoy listening to powerful booming, thunderous bass while watching action packed and/or science fiction movies take a major pass on this soundbar! The bass frequency is hardly noticeable regardless of the settings. This could be attributed to the smallish subwoofer and low wattage rating of this soundbar. Going back in time and knowing what I know now I would never ever consider purchasing this soundbar. Save your hard earned money and purchase a soundbar system with a high wattage rating and a high wattage rated subwoofer, you’ll be glad you did!

I brought the SPD7Y to replace an older Bosed 3-2-1 which subwoofer no longer worked. Efforts to fix was to no avail. The SPD7Y was very affordable and the sounds it produced are outstanding considering the price. I checked out the other LG sound bar and this was the sweet spot for purchasing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] About 2 months ago, I surcame to my natural instinct to be popular and carry out the role of a typical lawyer, and after much contemplation and buyer's regret, I am inviting the regular crowd and new friends over on a regular basis. The device has transformed our social time allotment with each other.

The soundbar makes all the difference in my TV watching experience. The TV is great but the speakers are lacking. Also, I plan to mount the TV above my fireplace and feel like the soundbar will be necessary.

I think of myself as tech savvy, but I could not get this soundbar to work correctly. It was paired to my LG C1 OLED and settings were still ridiculously complicated. I use the apps directly from the TV and every time you switch between streaming sites the sound is completely off. I couldn't watch a movie because I was spending the whole time trying to set the TV and the soundbar settings to work correctly. Don't even get me started on switching HDMI signals and sound settings. RETURNED SOUNDBAR TO STORE!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this about a month ago and the sound bar worked really well. However the documentation was really lacking. You only get a very basic manual with the system. There was no online manual available for this product either. There is an app that you can download which I had to find out on my own about, as there was no reference to it anywhere. I got the rear speakers as well but they didn't work well, which is why I wanted the manual. I ended up calling customer service to get help with it and they were not at all of any value in helping me. They were just reading out of the same useless manual. In the end I just returned the rear speakers and gave up. The sound bar itself works and sounds good but I wish I had surround sound.

I bought this few weeks ago and from day one was not working properly you were losing sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great addition for my LG 4K OLED C1 TV. The sound is stunning and fills the room with the highest quality sound imaginable. The sound bar and subwoofer paired seamlessly to my new tv, basically plug & play. I’ve also added the LG SPK8-S wireless rear speakers to create a true surround sound system. I could not be more pleased! Highly recommend!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this after my Samsung Q700A stopped working with my LG 4K TV after 2 days. The soundbar and sub have a great quality of sound. I have never used LG for my sound before but I am glad that I did. I do wish that it had built in Alexa but it sticks to sound which is great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t realize how clean and simple looking the sound bar & subwoofer are. The looks might fool you because this combo packs a powerful punch. The package arrived in a L-shape box. The main components are just the sound bar & subwoofer. The setup was super easy virtually plug and play. The subwoofer is wireless so you can place it wherever you’d like. In my case, I placed it next to my sofa to achieve a more balanced and surround sound. The bass is very powerful if you select the “bass” setting. The “music” setting is more balanced overall if you choose to play music for a party. For my daily use, I find the “cinema” setting best tor movies & shows on TV. The design is very simple. The lines are clean and it isn’t anything flashy which I like. Overall, the sound quality exceeded my expectations. This setup is a huge upgrade to the stock TV sound even if your TV is a higher-end model.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife convinced me (wink, wink) to upgrade from our previous SN7Y LG Soundbar to the current model SPD7Y for our main TV which is an LG Nanocell 4K. I thought this would be nice upgrade and allow me to put our other great LG soundbar in our family room. I'm very glad I did because the SPD7Y has some upgraded interfaces that make it better. The bluetooth button is perfect for me because I crank out music through the surround sound system on the daily. It is such a pleasant thrill that the sound quality has a bit more bass in this model. When you listen with the Dolby Atmos available the sounds on movies and streaming. I have my soundbar set up with the add-on SPK-8 surround sound speakers and I cannot recommend this setup enough - the sound experience is what I want from a home sound system. Although I received this product at a discount for my honest opinion, the retail price is fantastic for what you get. This model is worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have recently purchased the LG SPD7Y Soundbar at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion, and let me tell you this simple, sleek Soundbar packs a major punch! My family and I have an absolute blast every time we decide to play music, watch a movie, or simply watch TV. We thoroughly enjoy the loud, heavy sound profile that this device provides. Additionally, it comes equipped with bass and treble adjustments for an audio experience tailored to your liking! Lastly, the only gripe that I have is the fact that this Soundbar lacks a low-bass adjustment. Otherwise, I can confidently assert that this is yet another sound piece of technology from LG!
