Hey steve your a awesome reviewer, just wanted to know if you really need to download the app to set it up ir just go into the tv settings on your lg tv and set it up that way
I just got the S95qr and paired it with a C3 and I think it's fantastic. First test was John Wick 4 from a 4K blu ray. I didn't want an audio system that's loud but not detailed. This system is very detailed and highly accurate. On this movie, for example, you can track bullets flying over your head from one side to the other, and I feel like I could go over to my living room wall and find the exact spot where the bullet landed. I think if you're gonna spend the $$$ for an OLED TV for an optimal viewing experience, it's well worth it to invest in a soundbar system that compliments the TV. WOW Orchestra isn't just a gimmick. It's actually very impressive.
@@TechSteve Can you help me understand something... For some reason I can't find the answer to what is probably a simple question. Why plug external devices into the soundbar rather than the TV? One reason might be to save ports on the TV, but how does this affect the audio quality? I have an LG bluray player and a Series X console plugged into the C3 currently, and the C3 in turn is connected by eARC to the S95qr soundbar. Is this worse/better/equivalent than plugging the externals directly into the soundbar? (If the answer involves "passthrough" I don't know what that is really.)
@EleaticStranger yes the main reason is to add ports, or for people who uses a monitor without eARC, pass thru bypass the TV process for audio and allows the sound to go from the signal directly to the soundbar
If you can remember some months back I requested a review of a soundbar you would recommend for me. Indeed you just did a review on the sound bar I have in mind.
Thanks Tech Steve. I watched Andrew Robinsons review about this bar and he hated it. I went with the Samsung Q990c, i love it. Thank you so much Tech Steve, i love u!
I ended up with the SQY90 (step below this one) and I can say its an amazing system! Love mine! Black Friday for the win! The rear speakers aren't up firing unfortunately as that is exclusively only for the SQ95 version.
The reason I went with the s95 was because of the rear speakers. yes, you can add on rears later with your model, however, they're not as nice as these, and....I got my set for 700 from Video Only. Pretty stellar deal if you ask me.
BOught s90, need to return, sounded good for our living room but the sub woofer kept shutting down after 10 minutes no matter how many resets and restarts and re paring it.. kept blinking red led behind it meaning issue with pcb inside, it was hot and smelling funny out of box.. Sure sounded good when was working with bar…
Isn’t the point of soundbars mostly cause the sound on super thin TVs is usually poor? So is the tv’s sound working with the bar really any better than the bar alone?
In my country, the LG sound bar S95qr costs $1000 and the SP11ra soundbar costs $500. I have an lg TV (α7 Gen5 AI Processor 4K lg). Tell me what to buy (S95qr or sp11ra) @@TechSteve
I recently bought an LG OLED C4 in 77" and I would like to know if the LG S95QR is a good option and if I will enjoy all the functions available? I know that the S95TR is already out, but it costs more than twice the price of the S95QR, and I think which does not justify.
Great video mate, would you have recommendations for rear LG speakers for my USC9S soundbar ? I have a LG C2 paired with Wow Orchestra and would like to add rear speakers to it. Thanks in advance! 👍
I know this isn’t related to this video but I have a question about 2 tvs I know you reviewed in the past. I have the option to get in 85” size a q80b or x90k for $1000 new. And can’t decide. Most of the reviews are for the ips panel for the q80b I know you reviewed the smaller size with a va panel what are your thoughts between these 2 tvs for the same price. Supposedly the blooming is better now on the x90k
I have this sound bar, a Marantz NR6014 AVR, and the 77C1....what is the optimum setup? Do I connect ARC from Soundbar to ARC on TV or ARC on AVR to ARC on TV or simply use BT and Wi Fi. for the SoundBar?
Hello, Do you have to enable the WOW ORCHESTRA everytime you turn on your TV? I have a G3 and it seems that whenever my TV is off for a while, I have to reenable it. Is there a setting where I can leave it enabled all the time? Thanks! 🙏
Hello i own a LG SK9 J from 2019 and (soon) a LG C3 77 inch...can i get a simular Sound xperience with those Device or do I need this specific Soundbar for that "Orchestra Sound"???
I plugged an Xbox into it and it showed 4k120Hz using the inputs on the soundbar with 2 HDMI 2.1 cables, that’s the scene I showed on the video. The link I provided is the actual unit I reviewed, something they make different variations of products worldwide
good review but your sponsored so you didn't pay for it. Just brought the S95QR for $887 AU. I have a 55un7300ptc and need higher stands. hook up to a Nvidia shield pro and i'm good to go
@TechSteve okay but I just happen to look into my CX setting. The sound output section has an option which states optical + tv speakers. I connect my s95qr to my LG cx by optical cable and now both my tv speakers and soundbar has sound. But that's not wow ochestra yea?
@@TechSteve yea the s95qr comes with a hdmi cable just that my existing set up was with optical so i plug my old soundbar our and just plug the s95qr to optical. yea i could change later on. So in regards to LG cx sound option showing Optical + internal tv speakers, that seems like similar to wow ochestra
I have these products. After the last update WOW was defaulted on. IMO it is tinny, awful. Everytime LG updates come out be prepared for the menu and functions to change, really hard to find anything. And every once in awhile LG updates the soundbar….and you cannot stop it. They constantly change stettings to their preferred options. I turn off WOW because in my opinion it’s like being in a tin can, I use just the sound bar but it turns off Dolby and greys out most features. But once you get it set it sounds amazing!
I already have an LG OLED TV 2023 model, would you say the LG sound bars with the WOW technology would be worth investing in or should I look at one of the other sound bar home theater setups you mentioned.
@@minnesota_fats7344 personally, i am not a fan of LG home theaters, especially the soundbars. But the prices they offer are very similar to Samsung’s, and I would choose Samsung every time over LG soundbars.
@@TechSteveyou totally can turn it off. Just go to sound settings in all settings and change the output to outside speaker. It turns WOW off, it also turns Dolby off and greys out all the buttons. It is soooooo much richer sound with the TV speakers off and just using the soundbar.
Hello, I bought a 65 inch LG C3 and a SC9S and geek squad or myself could not get wow orchestra to connect and all the hookups were done correctly. So I returned it and now I have a S90QY and still no wow orchestra. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey steve your a awesome reviewer, just wanted to know if you really need to download the app to set it up ir just go into the tv settings on your lg tv and set it up that way
You can just use the remote but you need the app to connect the wow feature because it needs to be connected to the same wifi
@@TechSteve ok thanks your awesome
Hi Steve. What causes that echo on TV, especially when you increase the volume on the TV?
I haven’t ever experienced tv echo

Does it support C2 ??
Not the wow orchestra as stated in the video
Great video Steve. As a new owner of the LG C3 this is what I am looking for and will have to get one.
So would you purchase the LG S95 with an LG3 or the Samsung 990C which most say is the best boxed sound bar?
Much love ❤️ from Chesterfield DERBYSHIRE ENGLAND 🏴
This is it. I have been waiting for the review of this soundbar. Fantastic review. I hope it works well with my TV.
If you can remember some months back I requested a review of a soundbar you would recommend for me. Indeed you just did a review on the sound bar I have in mind.

@techsteve Which video demo are your playing the background, do you have a link?
It was provided by LG
Is the wow orchestra only available for a LG tv? I have a Sony TV and wondering if i can get that option to work with my tv? Any insight?
Only on LG, Sony uses Brava sync on x90L and higher for on screen controls

IMO, use ARC , setting on the TV to external speakers turning WOW off. You can still Bluetooth your devices to it…sound is amazing with WOW off 😁
I see u had a game system hdmi plugged into sound bar so do I plug mine in that way or plug it up to tv?
Up to you, all the C3 are HDMI 2.1
@@TechSteve ok thank you! Is there a difference I game on Xbox so will it play through soundbar either way right?
Hi. Can you tell me does it support connection between lg c11 lb tv 55 inch and lg s80qr soundbar with wow orchestra function?
I don’t review either, you will have to check the specs

Is it possible to get wow orchestra without active wifi? Is there ethernet port on the sound bar ?
I don’t think so
You don’t need wifi to enable WOW. No ethernet on the soundbar, Bluetooth.
Hi
I have an LG TV 2018 Ultra HD dolby atmos. Does it support it? Or is it limited to modern TV models?
The soundbar will but not wow Orchestra
@@TechSteve Does it give a real experience with Dolby Atmos technology, knowing that my TV has HDMI ARC?
