5.1 Surround Sound With Wireless Rear Speakers

Rear surround speakers

Nice full & balanced Sound as Rear Surround 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.

Added as front speakers for bedroom surround system 5.1. Full rich sound, a great improvement over more compact speakers. Powered by Denon amp.

I was a little doubtful about purchasing these speakers because I was use to the 5.1 surround sound system, but I'm glad I did. They have the perfect sound, even better than the 5.1 and the control pod makes these speakers even better. I would definitely recommend this product.

I love it just wish I could hook up more speakers together. Wish I could do true 5.1 surround

Connecting to wifi and adding both speakers as a rear surround sound was frustrating as it wouldn't recognise the one of the speakers. Required multiple resets, rebooting my router etc but I got there eventually. Once connected, truplay configured for best sound the end result was incredible. Better than my previous Bose system.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LG sound bar (LG Soundbar S80TR) has been a fantastic experience! It provides an exceptional surround sound experience with Dolby Atmos, completely changing how I enjoy movies and TV shows. The mobile app's ability to enable surround sound across all connected speakers was an unexpected but fantastic feature. Through the rear speakers with this feature enabled, it was nice to have a speaker closer to hear from than the soundbar below the TV. Of course, this will vary based on the size of your living room, but for me, it was beneficial! The profile is slim; it is taller than my prior sound bar, which might block your remote input if the sound bar sits below your TV versus wall mounted. I appreciate that the sound bar tells you when it is receiving a Dobly Atmos signal; I noticed this varies from streaming apps. The use of AI to calibrate the speakers based on their placement was impressive, and the software lets you test the new calibration or go back to being uncalibrated to see the difference! I did buy two speaker stands for the rear speakers to improve the setup. The process of setting up the rear speakers was straightforward, and the stands provided stability and improved the overall sound quality. Another use of AI in the speaker is the ability of the system to select the correct sound profile versus manually selecting it. One thing I would like to improve is the display. Instead of showing Optical output or eARC, you can customize the digital display to show, say, TV or whatever the source was.

Besides setting the rear and top levels volume to +6 I found out that by using the adaptive sound mode this is where the 9500S surround speakers shine on, the sound of my Q8000A soundbar was already amazing (be it music, movies , video games, everything sounds great) but when I paired the surround speakers with the soundbar I realized what I had been missing out, it was night and day , as soon as the rear speakers kicked in I knew I was in for a treat, it's just truly amazing the sound I get from these speakers working in tandem with my soundbar. I will no longer use a soundbar without rear speakers, and these not needing a hub to connect to is just the icing on the cake.
