Our take on the LG 5.1 Channel Soundbar with Dolby Audio and Rear Speakers

The LG 5.1 Channel Soundbar is a soundbar-and-subwoofer system with two wireless rear speakers, giving a true 5.1 layout without running cables across the room. It supports Dolby Atmos and Dolby Audio, and connects over HDMI, Bluetooth or USB. Rated 3.8 out of 5 from 23 ratings, it is a mid-range pick for people who want rear-channel surround on a budget. The listed 100 W total is modest for a 5.1 system, so expect room-filling sound in small to medium rooms rather than large open spaces.

Questions and answers

Is this soundbar worth it?
It is a reasonable buy if you want genuine rear-channel surround in a small or medium room and do not need high volume. If you have a large room or want strong bass, spend more on a higher-wattage system.
Do the rear speakers need wires?
They are wireless to the soundbar, but each rear speaker still needs a power outlet. Plan their placement near sockets behind or beside the seating area.
Does it support Dolby Atmos?
Yes, it decodes Dolby Atmos, but it has no up-firing drivers, so height effects are simulated rather than coming from above. Treat Atmos as a bonus, not the main reason to buy.
What is in the box?
You get the soundbar, the wireless subwoofer, two wireless rear speakers, a remote and the power cables. An HDMI cable is often not included, so check before buying if you plan to use HDMI ARC.
Can I connect it to my TV and phone at the same time?
It connects to a TV over HDMI or Bluetooth and can pair with a phone over Bluetooth, but it plays one source at a time. You switch inputs with the remote.
When is it cheapest?
Soundbars like this tend to drop during Black Friday, Cyber Monday and end-of-year TV bundles. Watch the price history for a dip below the recent range before buying.
