LG DSP9YA

The soundbar has a nice design and is easy to install using the LG app. In this app, the soundbar can be completely adjusted to the ultimate sound experience. The soundbar is easy to connect wirelessly via WiFi or Bluetooth. The sound is powerful and full, the Dolby Atmos system certainly helps with this. The sound seems to come from all directions.

The soundbar is very user-friendly, both during installation and during use. The installation is very fast, partly because the subwoofer automatically seeks a wireless connection with the soundbar. After that, the soundbar is easy to operate via the touch buttons on top, via the supplied remote control and via the clear app. Playing music wirelessly from, for example, a mobile phone is very easy via AirPlay. As soon as I select the soundbar on my mobile, the soundbar automatically turns on and also selects the correct channel itself. In addition to AirPlay, Bluetooth is also an option, but AirPlay is my preference. The soundbar and subwoofer have a nice design and nice finish, only the size of the soundbar was disappointing, because it is quite large. You must have a large TV for this combination to look good. The sound quality for music (after setting the correct "sound effect") is good. The sound is also better for watching TV/movies than the TV, so it's a nice addition. However, the surround sound does not work great for me. I didn't feel like I was really in the middle of it. I think the rear speakers are really necessary for this.

Design : Nice sleek design, but large in size. Ease of use : - The soundbar is easy to install yourself. As soon as power is available, the subwoofer immediately connects to the soundbar itself. - Ideal for this is the LG App, with which you can connect the soundbar to Google Home, Cromecast audio, Spotify, among other things. But also calibrate the sound for optimal use of space. - Voice control. Sound experience : - The sound, I had to get used to that. (Come from a Dolby surround set with 5 boxes) The Dolby Atmos system indicates that it provides the unique surround experience, unfortunately I was not allowed to experience it that way. Provided that the soundbar itself gives a nice full sound. And the subwoofer gives a great sound! But I really miss the rear speakers for the ideal/ultimate surround experience! It is nice that you can adjust the sound, think of: Gaming mode. cinema fashion, sports fashion, music fashion. Price quality : The price of this soundbar is quite high in my opinion, because for the ultimate surround experience you really have to purchase the rear speakers. If these had been included, it would have been the ideal price-quality ratio for me. Would have loved to test it including these rear boxes.
