- Is the S80TY worth it over TV speakers?
- Yes for most LG TV owners. The 3.1.3 layout, up-firing drivers and 480 W subwoofer give real height and bass that flat-panel speakers cannot match, and at $350 at eBay as of November 4, 2026 it is a modest spend for Atmos.
- Do I need an LG TV to get the most from it?
- No, but you get more with one. WOW Orchestra and LG's sound modes work only with compatible LG TVs; on other brands you still get Atmos, DTS:X and Wi-Fi streaming over HDMI or optical.
- Does it have rear surround speakers?
- No. The 3.1.3 setup is a front bar with three up-firing drivers plus a subwoofer, so effects come from the front and above rather than behind you.
- What is in the box?
- The soundbar, the wireless subwoofer, a remote, batteries and a power cable for each unit. An HDMI cable is usually not included, so plan on buying one for eARC.
- Can I stream music to it?
- Yes. Built-in Wi-Fi supports streaming services and multi-room audio, and Bluetooth 5.1 handles phone playback, though only SBC and AAC codecs are supported.
- When is it cheapest?
- Soundbars tend to drop during Black Friday and end-of-year sales and when a new model replaces it. The current best new price is $350 at eBay as of November 4, 2026.
