The LG-SL10YG soundbar produces a truly unique sound
experience.
First off, the packaging:
The packaging includes a long box with Styrofoam for
protection of all contents. As soon as it’s opened, the instruction manual,
brackets, and cables/remote can be easily removed. Once removed, the soundbar
is covered in a nice wrap and easily accessible. The subwoofer is sandwiched in
between two solid Styrofoam blocks and has a tight strap around it for lifting
it out. Overall, excellent packaging and easy to handle and unpack/unbox.
The sound bard is slim profile extra-long about 57” total
and fits directly under a large 55” and up TV. My TV is 75” and looks great in
relation to the TV as far as size is concerned. The sound bar features
touchscreen controls with the functions of ‘input, volume, play/pause, google
assistant, and mute’ and very touch sensitive. The soundbar features speakers
on top and infront as part of the 5.1.2 system and links directly to the
wireless subwoofer. It has a small LED screen to display control status and
responds very quickly once google is triggered and you are connected to wifi.
The bar has a very slick finish and looks very modern. Excellent quality and
appeal. The installation is very simple with an HDMI cable connected to the TV
and through The HDMI (ARC) port on the bar and the wireless sub automatically
links to the bar once connected and power is on.
The google assistant built in is amazing and provides a lot
of functionality expected from a typical google home devices and/or Alexa. Ask
the soundbar anything and google will do ‘weather, sports, traffic, play music,
time, etc.’ Very convenient if you are cooking and need a timer or just want
some nice music without having to link your phone or another smart device. You
do have to install the google home app to both install this feature and truly
enjoy the full functionality of this soundbar.
The sound is very crisp and surreal and offers a wide
spectrum of sound. The soundbar is also featuring Dolby Atmos onboard and
support for DTS:X. Dolby atmos allows you to be surrounded by sound from even
above as previous soundbars only allow for front and rear. The bass depth is
powerful and provides an exceptional clarity. The wireless subwoofer itself
produces 220w true RMS output and is very powerful sometimes I think even way
too powerful for some smaller rooms such as mine but I love the immersive
experience. Watching movies with a lot of action is a very pleasant cinematic
experience paired up with my LG 4k nanocell TV. The subwoofer delivers an
amazing rumble effect and the dialogue sounds clear. Maybe someday I will
purchase the rear wireless speakers as an added bonus to this setup but as it
stands right now, the soundbar and the subwoofer are more than adequate.
The remote is a little larger than typical for a sounder I’m
used to and runs on two AAA batteries that are included. It does however
perform all the functions needed and has the same options as the bar itself.
Overall, this soundbar produces a high quality
immersive cinematic experience at the comfort of one’s home. I love how easy it
is to setup, install, and use the google assistant for anything I need with my
voice. The subwoofer and soundbar plays lows and highs very well and has wide
dynamic range. The music, movies, and dialogues sound crispy clear and very
powerful. Dolby atmos provides a unique experience paired up with 4k TV. The
overall design of the bar is great. I love this brand new LG product. The rear
speakers are not required unless you have a very large room, even then can be
argued. The 550w true RMS power output of the speakers is more than enough and
provides a very strong rumble.
This product fits very well alongside any 55”+ TV and is not
heavy like other sound bars. The wifi capability is a plus. A very unique and
powerful system for a true lifelike experience.
*I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion.*
