5.1 Home Cinema With Wireless Rear Speakers

A new house with an open floor plan meant my 5.1 sound system had nowhere to place rear speakers. The answer was a JBL Soundbar that simulates the soundfield of having rear speakers. So far I am loving it!

Had this V serried 5.1 sound bar with rear speakers and woofer couple weeks now and have been pleased with the performance. Love the voice enhancement function. I can definitely hear and better understand the voices.would definitely recommend this to anyone with problems hearing the people speaking on TV. The surround sound is great also.

I specifically bought the Era 300 speakers 'with stands' to replace my rear speakers (Sonos One) to add greater depth to compliment my existing ARC and Sub speakers. Initially, I had some teething problems with the app decoupling my old Sonos One from the cinema grouping. I had to delete the Sonos app from my phone and reinstall and everything worked as it should have. Sonos Ones relegated to the main bedroom and they are (excellent as a pair for their new role sleep music) and Era 300 to the cinema group. The stands were easy to assemble. I did it by myself in hastened eagerness. Someone to help would have been good given the weight of the Era 309. I finished the setup to ensure the placement of my new speakers was ok and finished off with retuning the speakers (Trueplay). In anticipation to see if my new investment was worth it, I then put on the 4K Top Gun Maverick movie. To say that I was blown away was an understatement! They are magnificent. The difference between the speakers. I would have to say there is no comparison 'per se' this is a new speaker with fuller, deeper, richer sound. The additional drivers within the speakers are excellent. The ability to have fully functional rear speakers that exemplify ATMOS 4K movies is a game changer. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and have gone on to watch other movies now. On the music front via the Sonos app I was pleasantly surprised with the Spacial sound to the point I sort out some of Jean-Michel Jarre new albums which really demonstrates the enrichment of music through all of the speakers "just amazing' All in all, definitely with the investment

Easy install and good sound. Added as height speakers in 5.1.2 home theater. Note tweeters can be adjusted for firing direction. Manual not clear on how to, but do so by pressing on edge of tweeter themselves. 3 way system, woofer and two tweeters.

We recently purchased the amp and 2 wireless rear speakers (sorry; couldn't figure out how to include the names of both in 1 review!). The sound quality is superb. The amp is amazingly small, easy to put on a shelf, has incredible quality and sound, and is easy to control via the smartphone app. Very, very happy with this configuration!

Definitely will buy another one and the rear wireless and sub. Put this outside for our patio tv and was blown away from the sound. All my other speakers are Polk. Definitely the best!!

These are amazing speakers. I use them as rear speakers for home theatre and use to listen to music, you can hear vocals clearly and sounds fabulous when watching Dolby Atmos.

I use the Era 300 as rear speakers for my home theatre system, Works exceptionally with the Sonos arc, The performance is incredible!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn’t be happier with the LG S80TR Soundbar with Rear Surround Speakers. This system has completely transformed my home entertainment experience. From the moment I set it up—which was straightforward—I noticed a major upgrade in sound quality. The dialogue is crystal clear, and the bass adds just the right amount of depth without being overpowering. The rear surround speakers are a game-changer, creating an immersive experience. My kids love that it sounds like a "movie theater." I also appreciate the seamless wireless connection. I was worried about potential lag or connectivity issues, but I haven’t experienced any problems. Just keep in mind that the rear speakers need to be plugged into a power source, but that’s a small trade-off for the quality you’re getting. Overall, this soundbar system exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their home audio setup. Review submitted as part of a program that provides a purchase discount.
