Not bad
Haven’t heard other quality soundbars, so difficult to compare. Suits my needs when watching free to air and subscription services.

Nice features
Just the right product I’m looking for my tv. Improve the sound quality just as the specs would. Not surprise with the quality with LG products. Only downside is it does not work with LGThinQ app.

Fantastic soundbar
As a real fan of Dolby Atmos, wanted a soundbar to go with my new LG TV purchase to give me 'next level' experience in sound. This sound bar is that. It's sleek, the bass speaker is compact, and the wireless connection (which works most of the time seamlessly) is a winner. For me, it's not just about watching a movie or a show, it's the whole experience - two big ticks in the soundbar and the TV.

Great sound bar not keen on the extra speaker
This sound bar works great. Perfect for a small to medium room. The extra speaker seems to provide nothing but annoying background rumble. It's not necessary as the sound bar provides plenty of good quality sound.

At a glance
The LG SC9S is a mid-range soundbar built for people who want more immersive TV and movie audio without a full speaker system. Its 3.1.3-channel design, Dolby Atmos support and wireless subwoofer make it a strong fit for small to medium rooms, especially with compatible LG TVs. Its main limitation is that it is more TV-focused than a premium music-first or larger-room surround setup.

Things to consider
It delivers convincing Atmos effects for its class, but it will not match the room-filling scale, rear-speaker immersion or music refinement of larger premium surround systems.
Tv compatibility score
9/10 - Excellent match for compatible LG OLED evo C Series TVs, with strong integration features and tidy bracket support.
Movie night suitability
8.5/10 - Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, up-firing channels and a wireless subwoofer make it very capable for cinematic viewing in smaller spaces.
Music playback quality
7.5/10 - Clear, balanced playback with wireless streaming, though it is tuned more for TV and cinema use than audiophile music listening.
Room size suitability
8/10 - Best suited to small to medium rooms where its 400W output and Atmos effects can be appreciated without needing extra rear speakers.
Installation ease
Easy - Straightforward setup with wireless subwoofer, HDMI eARC support and a supplied bracket for selected compatible LG OLED evo C Series TVs.
Key benefits
- 3.1.3-channel audio: Creates a more spacious and layered soundstage than a basic 2.1 soundbar.
- 400W total output: Provides strong, room-filling sound for everyday movies, shows and games.
- Dolby Atmos support: Adds height and dimensional effects so sound feels more cinematic.
- Triple up-firing speakers: Helps effects appear from above for a more immersive viewing experience.
- Wireless subwoofer: Delivers deeper bass while giving you more flexible placement in the room.
- HDMI eARC connectivity: Supports high-quality audio from compatible TVs with a simpler single-cable setup.
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming: Lets you play music wirelessly from compatible devices and services.
- LG TV integration with WOW Orchestra and one-remote control: Makes operation easier and improves synergy with compatible LG TVs.
Q: Can you add rear speakers to the LG SC9S later?
A: No. LG SC9S is a 3.1.3-channel soundbar package with a wireless subwoofer, not a soundbar-and-rears bundle. It creates height effects from the bar itself, so it is less convincing for full wraparound sound than systems with dedicated rear speakers.
Q: Does this soundbar need an LG TV for WOW Orchestra?
A: No. The soundbar works with TVs through HDMI eARC or optical, but WOW Orchestra is an LG-specific feature. To use the TV speakers and soundbar together, you need a compatible LG TV rather than any brand or older non-compatible set.
Q: Which connection should I use for Dolby Atmos on SC9S?
A: Use HDMI eARC on a compatible TV if Dolby Atmos is the priority. HDMI eARC is the connection listed for higher-quality TV audio with a single cable, while optical is better treated as a simpler fallback when Atmos support is not the goal.
Q: Can the LG SC9S stream music over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?
A: Yes. LG SC9S supports both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless music playback, so it can stream audio even when the TV is off. It is tuned mainly for TV and movie immersion rather than specialist stereo hi-fi listening.
Q: Does the SC9S have built-in voice control by itself?
A: No. LG SC9S is listed as compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa, but it is not presented as a standalone smart speaker. Hands-free control depends on a supported voice-assistant setup, not just the soundbar by itself.
Q: Is 400W enough for a large open-plan living room?
A: LG SC9S is best suited to small to medium rooms rather than a large open-plan area. Its 400W output can still sound strong, but Atmos height effects and overall immersion are usually more convincing when the space is more contained.
