LG SP7R 7.1 Channel High Res Audio Sound Bar with Rear Speaker Kit (Renewed)

Alright, I am not an electrician, but I do have years of experience as an amateur sound technician, with a limited budget. I don’t write a lot of reviews, but felt driven for this one. I bought this as a refurbished model to get a 7.1 Surround Sound System instead of a 5.1 for the money. To be honest, I would give this 4 1/2 stars instead of 5, but they won’t let me, so I’ll kick it up to 5 to be generous. Given that intro: I’m using this with a 50” Lg 50QNED80TUC TV. So, That’s a Midrange LG TV that was higher rated for its Picture than Sound. I stuck with the LG Name brand figuring it might be wise to be consistent. I don’t care about Video Games. I’m more of a News and Information + Movies Fan. I think this is Fine for a Midrange Sound Bar/Surround Sound System! If you have more money you want to spend, more expensive systems will probably sound better…Throw more money at it and I’m sure this isn’t the ultimate! I think the Sound Quality is Good! Although, My two biggest criticisms are you need to be moderately tech savy, since it came with no instructions + I bought better Speaker Wires, because the Back Speakers came with pathetically slim wires. Honestly, I haven’t hooked those up yet. I’ll update this if that change impresses me enough? [Update: I switched out the included cables for 12 Guage Copper Cables. The sound is noticeably improved, but the new ones were a bit too thick…a bit challenging to hook up. Having worked at Best But, I expect they keep prices competitive by including cheap Cables, then mark up the Recommended Accessories. For better or worse, That’s Marketing for you.] In short, I’m glad to buy refurbished equipment if it helps me afford what I want, as long as it comes with the same warranty. I would buy this again. Especially, as a Refurbished Unit, it’s probably the most reasonably affordable 7:1 Surround Sound System you could find.

I purchased this system as a refurbished item. Upon arrival there was some minor signs of use but nothing major. The system easily connected to my tv using an HDMIArc cable. Connecting the sub and satellite speakers via bluetooth was immediate upon powering everything up as directed. This system is being used with a 65 inchTV in our living room. So far, Im very pleased with the sound quality of the soundbar and satellite speakers. We live in a condo and this system is exactly what we needed to enhance our TV experience

I would strongly recommend going with a different brand, if at all possible. This is my second LG sound bar. With the first, the subwoofer died within days. The sound bar itself was still decent and provided better sound than the tv internal speakers, so I decided to keep it rather than hassle with a return. This current sound bar has better audio than the last (more channels) and so far the subwoofer seems to be working fine. However, I wanted this model for the rear speakers, and they do not work at all. Wireless receiver shows a connection, but after checking and rechecking the speaker wire connections, there is still zero audio coming from rear speakers. Buyer beware!

Got this to paired with my projector with FireTV stick via Bluetooth and I love it. Very simple to a assemble wireless sub and backs speakers are nice and separate from the front speaker. I have a nice Yamaha receiver but don't want to deal with running the wires since I moved. This is a great option. Also, I saw this listed for $699 on LG website, so that's in itself was a steal.

I found this soundbar ranks among the top on sound quality against other soundbars in its price range. Of course this soundbar is a referb and the ones I’m comparing them to are not. But it does illustrate what a good deal this is if you receive a working set. I would personally put up with returning and rebuying another one, if defective; just to get a great soundbar at a discount. I personally had no issues with either defective sound output from the satellite speakers nor the subwoofer. But I will say there is an issue with how the soundbar is designed. This issue means when using multichannel input or HDMI in general the bass output is extremely weak. When you have multichannel input the only output from the subwoofer is from the LFE “.1” channel. This is the case whether or not you have surround mode turned on. This means the sound from the sub output consists primarily of weak rumbling noises. This is because LFE content is designed with a traditional full size speaker set up in mind. Unfortunately a sub of this size doesn’t produce room shaking bass nor should it be expected to. Thus you end up with barely any bass at all. Instead of compensating for this, LG simply implemented their AV processor just like any other piece of home theatre equipment on the market. This is unacceptable because unlike a typical component set up all aspects of the audio equipment involved are known. LG has chosen everything from the drivers to the amps to the processor. They should know what the proper limitations are for each speaker and what crossover points should be used. This is regardless of what mode the audio is in. So what should happen is some mid and all low bass should be routed to the subwoofer in addition to dedicated LFE content. How the content is mixed would likely be determined by what sound profile is used. In comparison, audio over bluetooth exhibits lively bass with substantial body; although rendered loosely and a bit muddled. This is not unexpected with a classic single port reflex design. But some of this is likely also from the lossy bluetooth audio. Overall this soundbar produces an enjoyable sound for general purpose viewing and was a perfect fit for the TV in our new casita.

Very good

Refurbished came looking used. The front of the sound bar was dusty. It was easy to set up but not totally wireless . The smaller speakers required wiring to work. Only the subwoofer was wireless. Sound quality is great. Was a gift so disappointed because of being dusty.

budget friendly sound bar with sub and surround speakers for 160$ it's a win

Me gusto, habia probado JBL y Vizio , pero este tiene mejor calidad , mayor fidelidad , cumplio con mis expectativas lo recomiendo

Es un Teatro muy bonito, y las bocinas de tras muy funcionales, por su conexión vía bluetooth, el sonido es envolvente peroooo, yo esperaba un sonido mas cristalino, la barra se escucha bien pero a mi gusto le falta que pongan mas atencion en la claridad de las pistas, ya que sigue siendo ese sonido característico del las barras (como encerrado, falto de cristalino), el subwoofer, me parece pequeño al sonido que emite le falta cuerpo, no se escucha el tamborazo que se dispersa en toda la casa, sino un tamborazo sencillo que dura poco, en fin espero me entiendan jejeje, es asi como yo vivo los sonidos, la voy a conservar por el precio ya que brincar a la que sigue es el doble de dinero y pues... bajara de precio pronto por como avance la tecnologia.

Pero imagino que es s un exelente producto volveré hacer la compra y mandaré mi reseña
