100% Awesome everything
This LG soundbar is absolutely awesome. Its not your average soundbar either Its a soundbar on steroids. Massive sound and Massive Bass. 800 watts of thumping power. Good range of sound settings too. The LG SH7Q at 1.2 metres across sits perfect with my 4K smart tv. Then I downloaded the soundbar app with more sound settings. It's a absolute powerhouse. Excellent build quality and easy to set up. I now own two of these units and I'm thinking about purchasing a 3rd. The Good Guys will look after me. If you want a powerhouse high quality soundbar! I definitely recommend the LG SH7Q . I give this monster ☆☆☆☆☆ plus.

Awesome sound.
THIS LG SOUNDBAR IS INCREDIBLE. THE SH7Q IS BIG IN SIZE AND ITS BIG ON FEATURES TOO. THE BIGGEST FEATURE IS THE SOUND. 800 WATTS OF ABSOLUTE THUMPING POWER.THERE ARE PLENTY OF SETTINGS TOO. THE LG SH7Q COMES WIYH A SUBWOOFER AND I DON'T THINK ITS NEEDED. THE SOUNDBAR DELIVERS STRONG BASS ON UTS OWN. THE VOLUME LEVELS ARE FROM 1 TO 100 MAX. I LOVE LOUD MUSIC AND I RARELY GET THE VOLUME PADT LEVEL 35. THIS SOUNDBAR IS A MONSTER IN EVERY WAY.. I AM SO IMPRESSED WITH IT THAT I BOUGHT A SECOND UNIT. CHEERS TO THE GOOD GUYS. ALTHOUGH THIS APP ONLY ALLOWED ME TO GIVE THE LG 4 STARS I GIVE 5 STARS. GREAT PRODUCT AT A GREAT PRICE. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Amazing soundbar. Monster sound.
WOW. I didn't know LG had it in them. This 800W LG soundbar is absolutely incredible. Super sound with super bass. The soundbar is bigger than others and it proves itself too. Easy to set up including the wireless subwoofer. Then I downloaded the app and there are extra sound settings. The surround sound setting blew me away. Absolutely amazing. $799 marked down to $399 and my $60 store credit. Absolutely bargain. I was so impressed with this LG monster, I bought a 2nd unit. Build quality! It eqauls my JBL soundbars. Top shelf I give the LG 5 STARS. Cheers to the GOOD GUYS once again. Best place to shop. I absolutely recommend this SH7Q LG soundbar + subwoofer

LG 5.1 ch review
The system is good enough for the price point and as a starter set. If you are expecting top notch quality from this system you will be disappointed. The dialogues gets a bit fuzzy for some movies. However for my little room, it definitely meets the minimum requirements. Would recommend for the price and average quality for a small enclosed space. Not recommended for your lounge or open space.

At a glance
The LG SH7Q is a mid-range 5.1-channel soundbar designed for households wanting a clear upgrade from basic TV speakers in medium to larger living rooms. Its strengths are strong 800W output, immersive surround presentation and flexible inputs. It suits movie nights, gaming and everyday music streaming well, but it lacks the more advanced tuning and connectivity found on premium soundbars.

Things to consider
It delivers a solid surround-style experience, but premium soundbars typically offer more refined audio tuning, newer wireless features and broader format support.
Tv compatibility score
8/10 - versatile HDMI and optical connections make it suitable for many modern and older TVs.
Movie night suitability
9/10 - 5.1-channel sound, strong output and surround-focused modes make it well suited to cinematic viewing.
Music playback quality
7/10 - good power and Bluetooth streaming make it enjoyable for casual listening, though it is tuned more for home entertainment than audiophile music use.
Room size suitability
Medium to large living rooms
Installation ease
Easy - the soundbar setup is straightforward, and the wireless subwoofer gives more placement flexibility.
Key benefits
- 5.1-channel audio: creates a wider, more cinematic soundstage than standard TV speakers.
- 800W total output: provides strong volume and room-filling sound for medium to larger spaces.
- Wireless subwoofer: adds deeper bass while making placement more flexible because it only needs its own power point.
- Bluetooth 4.2 streaming: lets you play music wirelessly from compatible phones and tablets.
- HDMI input: supports a simple wired connection for compatible TVs and entertainment devices.
- USB playback: gives you another easy way to access compatible audio content.
- Optical input: helps connect older or non-HDMI TVs and source devices.
- Six sound modes: allows you to tailor the listening profile for movies, music and general TV viewing.
Q: Can the wireless subwoofer go anywhere in the room?
A: No. The subwoofer connects wirelessly for audio, but it still needs its own power point. You have more freedom than with a wired sub, though placement still changes bass balance, so position it where the low end sounds even, not simply where it fits.
Q: Does the SH7Q support voice assistants or smart home control?
A: No. LG SH7Q focuses on TV audio, surround processing and Bluetooth playback rather than built-in smart home features. It does not include voice assistant control, so operation stays with the remote and the connected source device.
Q: Can I stream music from my phone without extra devices?
A: Yes. LG SH7Q can stream music over Bluetooth 4.2 from compatible phones and tablets, so no extra streamer is needed for basic wireless playback. It does not include built-in Wi-Fi streaming, so music control stays on the device you pair.
Q: Is this soundbar a good fit for open-plan living?
A: LG SH7Q is best matched to medium to larger living rooms, where its 5.1-channel output has space to spread. In a very open-plan area, surround effects and bass can feel less focused than they do in a more enclosed TV zone.
Q: Will this improve dialogue as well as movie bass?
A: Yes, but with a caveat. LG SH7Q is designed as a step up from standard TV speakers and its sound modes can help tailor speech and effects. Dialogue clarity still depends on the soundtrack, room acoustics and where the bar sits.
Q: What can I connect to the LG SH7Q besides a TV?
A: LG SH7Q accepts HDMI, USB and optical connections, so it can work with more than just a TV if the source device has a matching output. The simplest setup is to use each device's native audio connection rather than relying on adapters.
