LG Electronics LAS551H Sound Bar (2015 Model)"to "Sound Bar TV Soundbar Wired and Wireless Bluetooth Home Theater TV Speaker

I happened upon this sound bar as I was walking through my local blue store. I had been in the market for a sound bar for some time and was never really impressed with anything that was out, until I heard this. I by no means an audiophile, but I have installed and tuned many car audio systems in the past and have a very nice, multi-piece home theater in my basement, so i like to think I know what good sound is. What this sound bar offers, is a rich low end coming from its wireless subwoofer, and sharp and clear mids and highs.The subwoofer is room-filling, not punchy like you would get from a standalone, amplified subwoofer. For that, you will need the individual pieces as stated earlier. You will, however, enjoy a rich room filling low end that captures the smoothness of a stand up bass, as well as the boom of an explosion. After having spent a few weeks with this sound bar, we have just turned off the TV speakers altogether. There's no comparison of the two.A few of things/features:-The sound bar uses 2.5W in standby mode and 27 watts while on, for those that are energy conscious.-If connected by optical wire (provided - can also connect with HDMI cable (not provided)), it will turn on automatically with the TV. After turning the TV off, it will turn off in about a minute or two.-The sound bar comes with wall mounts that must be attached to the bottom of the bar in order to mount it to a wall, or in my case, to mount it to a TV bracket ( Sewell Direct Universal Soundbar Bracket  You will need a smaller nut/bolt in order to use this mount to attached to the bracket, so -have some on-hand.-The TV remote on my older Samsung LCD TV controls the volume of the sound bar so I don't even need the remote that came with it. Awesome! (if you don't turn of the TV speakers, it will control both the sound bar and the TV volume at the same time.- You can turn off the front display on the sound bar by pressing the "SLEEP" button once. The only problem is that it turns back on every time you turn the sound bar off and on.-The wireless subwoofer pairs automatically. It is literally plug-and-play.-The bluetooth connectivity is very easy and can be done in a few minutes. This can be used to stream a variety of sources of music or other audio wirelessly from your phone/tablet.In all, I'm glad I waited for something like this. I got it for under $200 on Amazon, with many of the stores both online and locally, selling it from $300+. If you're in the market and are looking to purchase one, I would definitely recommend this.

The sound is fantastic. I was skeptical at first due to the sound bar's slim size, however it covers the high, mid, and even low range very nicely and sounds balanced. Voices are very clear and sound natural. The subwoofer packs a very good punch and is more than enough for a pleasant cinematic experience, it delivers that "low rumble" often experienced in theaters and really adds to the experience. The "Sound Effect" button located on the remote is a great feature, as in order to get the most out of this sound bar and subwoofer you will want to adjust the "effect" pertaining to your current activity, rather this is streaming music via bluetooth or watching a cinematic film. There are some small functionality issues with this product. Every time the sound bar is turned on, the display located on the center of the sound bar lights up, and personally I find it much too bright when watching television or a film. You may turn off or dim the display by using the "Sleep" button located on the remote. However, the sound bar must be manually dimmed every time the sound bar is turned on. The display will illuminate if a volume adjustment or other setting is changed in the "Display Off" mode.I originally made this purchase because I was looking for a slim sound bar that would fit under my 42" LG HDTV (2015 Model with Legs) without blocking the picture. This sound bar fits very nicely and does not look out of place.Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and would definitely recommend it.

I am very pleased with this sound bar. I purchased an LG 55 inch television a couple months ago which I love but the sound left a lot to be desired. With the close to 100° temps we have had for the last month my air conditioner has been going steadily and I had to turn up the TV to nearly 100% just to hear it. So I bought this sound bar and it has solved the problem perfectly. As sound bars go it is a good looking unit and if fit perfectly, (without the feet) under my tv. The sound is very good and I get lots of bass from the sub woofer. It was very easy to set up and the sub paired without a problem. I did use the optical cord and have not tried out the BT capability because I really have no use for it so I cannot speak on that. I use it in an average to small size room but I think it would be just as good in a large room. I had a comparable priced Samsung sound bar on my last tv and this one blows it away! I have seen some reviews that mention the bass is not very strong but I am a person who loves bass and find this to have a very strong bass. Use the settings to adjust to where you like it. Of course it is not an expensive surround sound but is more than adequate. I have only had this in use about 4 days so will update this review if anything changes.UPDATEI have used this for over a month now and it has performed flawlessly! I am still very happy with this sound bar and love that I don't have to continually turn my volume up and down like I was always doing when using the tv sound without the sound bar.
