Sound Quality

Awesome sound but quality questionable.

We purchased this soundbar system a little over a year ago… The quality of Audio is Amazing… it sounds like a premium quality sound system but unfortunately we had this system in the living room with out 65 inch LG Oled TV that we barely use just because we have another LG 65 Nano tv in the room and suddenly out of nowhere the subwoofer stopped working. It died completely and please note that this system has been used maybe 10 times in 1 year. Now we are stranded with no warranty because its been over a year and stuck with a brand new subwoofer that doesnt work.

Really wanted to like this sound bar but ended up returning it.

Sorry Vizio, I really wanted to fall in love with this sound bar but I ended up returning it. The major issue for me was the EXTREME volume of the sub woofer. Even on the very lowest setting the woofer volume was overwhelming. I spent hours on the internet reading about this problem and a good number of people are reporting the same issue

Speakers

The other night I decided to watch a movie and noticed the sound was absolutely horrible. After some investigating I found that the soundbar and subwoofer were no longer paired. Here is a brief summary of the situation:

Negative

* **Rear Speakers** (wireless). Because of those wants, I've ruled out the Sony ST5000, Sennheiser Ambeo, Vizio Elevate, Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra, Sonos Arc, Bose 700, and a few others. The remaining soundbars I'm looking at (and I'm open to other options) are:. * LG SN11RG or SP11RA (once released)

Connectivity

Great sound...but...

I wish there was at least an option to connect it with a cord. Even worse (in my opinion), the only way to use AirPlay is to have the TV on too. (Bluetooth is too spotty and you can't move around the house much if you're streaming Bluetooth from your phone.) If I had known about these issues I wouldn't have bought it

Remote Control

Solid Dolby Atmos Sound Bar that is Simple To Use

The SN8YG is also Google Voice and Chromecast compatible. I'm not a Google user myself but the 'LG Wi-Fi Speaker' app for iOS or Android is where the SN8YG can be remotely controlled and where firmware updates are downloaded. This requires a Wi-Fi connection, although the app seems quite lackluster and poor in quality, considering it's 1.5 star review for iOS

Vizio Elevate or Sonos Arc

no biggie, I just used the SmartCast app on my phone as a remote to adjust everything. I would give it 9 out of 10 based on my personal experience.
