Speaker Bar Vs Surround Sound

Bought speaker's to go with Roku sound bar. Easy to install and nice surround sound.

I use this on my family room paired with my Sonos sound bar and a Sonos 1 speaker. Gives me great surround sound!

I’m talking about the VIZIO 5.1 Sound Bar Speaker System M51a-H6. If you’re spending more time watching movies, you’ll be shopping for this unit this weekend. If you want ATMOS and DTX:X audio this sound bar package packs it with nine speakers, yes 9. A great combination of sound bar speakers, remote subwoofer, and surround sound speakers. One more GREAT point to keep you reading…shop, find it, and be absolutely surprised that you can get this quality at that price point. So as you can tell I’m thrilled with this sound bar and my VIZIO TV. Plug and go. It’s that easy. I have been a fan of large speaker systems that take up a ton of room, wires everywhere because I wanted the sound that I thought you could only get from that setup. More good news. All the sound you’ll want you get with this setup. In addition one remote and a powerful remote at that. If you don’t have a VIZIO TV I read that this remote can learn your TV remote to keep you at 1 remote. Total control with the remote. You control left, center, right, sub, surround, height speaker, effects, equalizer, inputs etc. One really nice element is a remote with a display. Makes it really easy to understand and control your environment. There are some cool things I haven’t done yet. I have used by smart speaker to control things but you can also connect your smart speaker directly to the sound bar. Last the accessory package has everything you might need. HDMI, optical, wall mounts, etc. Ever buy something and then need to order a cable or HDMI cable, or something else. They even provided cable ties to keep your surround sound speaker wire nice and neat. Bottom line, you’ll be thrilled.

[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.

The sound is great on these speakers. I use them in conjunction with my Denon 550 sound bar as surround speakers. It is great not having to run speaker wires to the surrounds. You get great sound when using them to watch Dolby Atmos movies. You can also listen to music in multi channel stereo. I highly recommend these.

Great speaker for my surround sound set-up. I definitely recommend!!

Defiantly a premium surround sound speaker

We bought the sound bar about 6 weeks ago and we like the surround sound. I feel like I'm in a movie theater.

I have the Roku Sound Bar,Sub, and the surround sound speakers, I have owned several different surround sound systems in the past, from high end to low end systems, This Roku setup is the best that I have ever had, the sound reproduction is great, the bass is thunderous and adds to much to the sound, the rear speakers will pull you right into the action on the screen, and to top off the great setup, it’s all wireless, no more hiding wires under throw rugs, just plug the speakers into power, pop some popcorn and turn on your favorite movie and be ready to be amazed.

See my comments under the Sonos Sound Bar. This subwoofer beautifully complements the surround sound package. Plug it in anywhere in the room, and the iPhone app calibrates it.
