LG SJ9 Sound Bar review

 

LG boldly boards the Dolby Atmos soundbar bandwagon

Spectacularly powerful sound ; Remarkably compact design ; Chromecast support built in ; LED display

Only one HDMI input ; HDMI handshake issues ; UK price is high ; Limited rear/overhead channel effects

The sound quality of LG’s debut Dolby Atmos soundbar is pretty incredible. The power and scale of its sound beggars belief considering how attractive and compact the system is, while the sense of height in the audio mix is uncanny. The UK price feels a...

LG SJ9 review

 

One of the most requested sound bar features we receive from you, our readers, is Dolby Atmos support. Despite still being a fledgling format, the surround-sound system has captured the enthusiast community's imagination in a way not many features do....

The LG SJ9 is the most affordable Dolby Atmos sound bar system on the market, at least in the US. Home theater sound is dynamic and thrilling. Compatibility with Google Chromecast and 4K HDR offers some degree of flexibility and future-proofing.

The LG SJ9’s subwoofer makes a lot of bass, but definition is only so-so. The sound isn't very refined when playing music. The 'bar lacks DTS:X or DTS-HD Master Audio compatibility. No surround speakers included.

Although not the most refined-sounding 'bar at its price, the LG SJ9 delivers Dolby Atmos and Chromecast audio in an affordable, attractive package.

LG SJ9 Dolby Atmos Soundbar Review

 

LG join the Dolby Atmos soundbar party with their SJ9, it's got Hi-Res audio support, 4K HDR passthrough and Music Flow multiroom capabilities but is...

Very good sound quality ; Great with music ; Dolby Atmos support ; Multi-room capabilities ; Attractive design ; Well made

No real surround presence ; No DTS:X support ; Limited HDMI inputs ; Remote control could be better

The LG SJ9 Dolby Atmos soundbar is a nicely designed and well made product that boasts a decent set of features including support for the Music Flow multi-room system. The remote control is disappointing, although the Music Flow app is excellent,...

Cheaper LG Atmos sound bar goes great with Google

 

The LG SJ9 Atmos sound bar sounds very good, but its main draw is Dolby Atmos audio and Chromecast built-in for a relatively affordable price.

LG SJ9 Soundbar Review: Atmos for Under $1,000

 

Atmos is a very cool audio technology and well worth the investment for those who appreciate the extra dimension it brings to movies and shows. If you're looking to get into Atmos for under $1,000, LG's $900 SJ9 delivers. It can easily fill a room with...

Dolby Atmos support ; Slim design ; Big bass

Pricey for the sound quality ; Voices can get buried in the mix

LG's SJ9 soundbar fills the room with sound and can decode Dolby Atmos, but it doesn't sound as good as other soundbars in this price range.
