LG SN5 2.1 Wireless Sound Bar with DTS Virtual:X

Product Information

On the low end the subwoofer did a good job at providing the necessary weight while it felt like it could keep the pace even with hectic rhythms and tunes. In our opinion the mid-range was the weak part of the unit here but this is mostly for those looking at the details and for a casual user the experience is more than satisfactory. Vocals were distinct and had good emotion in them without overacting of being extremely exciting. The LG SN5Y unfortunately does not support any voice control platform so if this your thing you will have to look either on a higher tier model or a different brand altogether. This premium 3.1.2 soundbar is one of the smallest Dolby Atmos bars we've tested. However, it doesn't come with satellites, and you won't find a room correction feature like with the LG S95QR. As a result, it sounds different depending on the acoustics of your space. Thanks to the bass and treble adjustments, you can always make up for this manually. It supports TV Sound Mode Share, making it easy to pair the bar with a compatible LG TV for a more immersive sound. Whether you're listening to music, movies, or TV shows, this small setup is worth a look. The LG SN5Y is an exemplary 2.1 channel soundbar with superb sound quality & is a sonically balanced system that skips the hassle of a traditional surround sound setup. Keep in mind though, the sub should be kept within 15 feet of the soundbar to maintain the best connection and not cut out when playing.

The LG SN5Y is supposedly the successor of last year’s SL5Y which we had previously reviewed and to be honest upon first look of the specs the two units have awfully lot in common and this was to be expected as we were not hoping much of an upgrade for such a low budget yearly release unit. We mention this because in the higher tier models we have seen slight changes in specs compared to last year so we were curious if there is any change in this one for 2020. Lastly there are a few more features included that add more choice to the user. By including HDMI-CEC, LG Sound Sync and SIMPLINK if you have a TV that supports any of the above you can use your TV remote to issue some basic commands on the soundbar. This can be very practical in case you want to limit the amount of remotes on your room although for more specialized commands you will still need the soundbar remote or the supported app. At the other end of the scale, however, LG regularly includes its most budget-friendly or slightly older soundbars in sales promotions, proving there are bargains to be had, even on new releases. I have no problems with easily recommending this soundbar, and feel like it’s actually impressive when you do first hear it. Bluetooth streaming is also available which means you can stream music from any mobile device like smartphone or tablet to your soundbar. The process could not be easier as you connect your device and streaming starts. We were a bit disappointed to see that Bluetooth v4.0 is still used in this one but at least in our tests we didn’t face any streaming or connection problems.The LG SN5Y, even being entry-level, has several connectivity options, including Bluetooth, HDMI, and USB. It lets you easily connect your smartphone, tablet, or laptop to the soundbar via Bluetooth and enjoy your favorite music. The South Korean tech giant has announced a full suite ofeight 'barsto go with itsnew OLEDEvo andQNEDTVs for 2021– and with a 42-inch OLED made by LG Displaynow in the pipeline, a soundbar with a similar form factor (see above) makes perfect sense. Also on the menu from LG are premium 7.1.4, 5.1.2, and 3.1.2 models, each of which boasts support for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio along with LG’s Meridian sound technology.

The 24-bit/96kHz audio resolution that’s present here is one that actually surpasses CD quality, so on the content that actually supports it, it should provide a much more realistic and true to life sound quality. As we said in the beginning of our review one of the most important features when it comes to these low cost soundbars is simplicity and ease of use. This means that they don’t have many complex features and sound modes that could make handling of such a unit troublesome for people that are not very accustomed with such equipment. A couple of observations to make here. Firstly with HDMI 1.4 used there is only ARC and no eARC support something that may disappoint a few as LG seems to fully support eARC in their TVs from 2019 already and it’s something that we were hoping to find this year but the low cost nature of the SN5Y seems to be a deciding factor against that. Secondly their is no AUX port that we usually see but in our opinion since there is an optical as well as HDMI ports available, missing an AUX port is not such a big deal even for such a basic model. The LG SN5Y Soundbar is a stylish and compact device that measures 34.5 inches long, making it an ideal fit for bedrooms, living rooms, and most television sets.But to be fair, the focus should be on the sound so it doesn’t necessarily need to. That said, I still think it looks good.

The channel system suggests the bar has dual full-range drivers with one built-in woofer to balance the upper, mid, and low frequencies for well-balanced and detailed sound.

The subwoofer added depth to the sound, making everything sound realistic and in your surroundings. It also features wireless surround sound ready, allowing you to add extra speakers to the setup for a more immersive experience.Then if you wanted to incorporate actual surround sound speakers separately, the SN5Y gives you the ability to do so. The speakers aren’t in the box though which is something to be aware of.

For last we left the included subwoofer and this seems to be slightly different from the one we found in the SL5Y as the dimensions are also different. The one included here measures 7.1″ x 15.4″ x 11.5″ (180.0 x 394.0 x 290.0 mm) and weights 11.7 lbs (5.8 Kg) and to be honest we were a bit surprised that LG has changed the subwoofer at least in design and size. The one we got here retains its simple boxy look but this time the front cloth grille is different featuring a diagonal lines texture for better or worse. Boasting a similar spec-sheet (albeit in a 3.1.2 channel set-up) the LG SN8YG is a compact design and simple set-up for slightly smaller rooms and TVs from 49in and upwards. Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, AI Sound Pro and Meridian Audio's Advanced Technologies are all still on the menu, as is built-in Google Assistant.

However, it doesn’t have a center channel so the dialogue clarity can be questionable. But the LG utilized phantom channels, meaning the left and right combine to try polishing dialogues and sound far better. Musik spiller en helt utrolig stor rolle i vores hverdag. Musik giver os muligheden for at forsvinde ind i en anden verden, og den kan have en næsten terapeutisk effekt. Musikken påvirker vores følelser og på få sekunder kan en bestemt melodi påvirke vores humør. Musik fortjener at blive afspillet med den optimale lydkvalitet, hvor små detaljer ikke forsvinder. Med LG’s lydsystemer er dette muligt.

Now for our review we decided to use the Standard mode as we believe it offers the most balanced output. Bass Blast although it was able to enhance the low end it was not good enough overall making the rest of the frequencies slightly overshadowed by it.
