LG Premium Soundbar Review with Dolby Atmos (SN8YG)

I was quite blown away by just how much clean and loud sound can come out of a soundbar. It was my first experience with a soundbar this expensive and thought I'd share with you. #LGSoundBar.
This is a 3.1.2 channel home theater soundbar from LG that supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X sound formats.
The speaker system is flexible to expand itself into a 5.1.2 channel system with simple addition of SPK8-S speakers (tough to find).
Since the soundbar supports ARC, you can connect this with your TV's ARC HDMI port and let the soundbar automatically decide the source and the best sound mode depending on the content that is fed to it by your TV.
It comes with quite a bunch of smart features too. This is a wi-fi enabled speaker that connects to your home's wireless network (using Google Home app) offering you wireless audio playback from compatible chromecast apps on your phone. So you can sit anywhere in your house and play music or any audio from these spakers. You can obviously connect your phone or tablet using Bluetooth with the speaker and play music with insane high quality playback.
The speakers are really loud but not at the cost of clarity.
There are multiple sound modes that you can cycle through for the best audio experience. You can choose from bass blast, movie, AI sound pro, music and standard. The movie souund mode is particularly very rich, cinematic and immersive with intense depth and delivers beyond expectation.
The music mode is best suited for listening to music given that the mode ensures you get a clean and flat sound profile which feels more accurate.
Dolby Atmos support ensures you get an all round surround immersive audio experience.
The LG wi-fi speaker app can additionally be installed. The app allows you to configure the sound settings for individual speakers as well as the sub-woofer. The subwooofer is quite powerful and comes wirelessly paired with the speakers. The LG app also allows you to use the AI calibration feature that readjusts speaker configuration and specification basis its placement inthe room to offer the most optiimzed audio experience.

I’m just seeing this now because this sound bar is on sale, but I had to comment on how value this video was for me. You speak super clear, are articulate, helpful, and even pushed me towards deciding to buy. Thank you!

Ha. Really. India is about as smart as an American with dementia. The Indian navy are so smart they sank their own submarine in port trying to dive without closing the hatch. So smart they let children eat trash. Now think of any dump anywhere in the world. You know trash mountains all the waste in one spot. See all the rats and birds living off it? Yeah not in India. In India the kids chase the vermin out that's their food. The birds and the rats don't dare steal the peoples trash food or they will go in the pot too. Indians call this food. PaqPaq and they will sell it to you on the streets if you are a tourist too. So look out.

This soundbar is awesone. Movies and video games are so immersive with this bar. The rear speakers actually kick loudly when the settings are accurate. I will probably get flamed for this but I think the sound quality is just as good as the SN9YG.

[@Michael-li3id]

still happy with it? i just bought it and it will arrive today! i got the rear speakers too. I have a kitchen behind my living room and the rears will be on top of the cabinets about 28 ft away from the soundbar, hope distance isn't too far.

[@Optionvideo209]

@@Michael-li3id how is it?

[@Michael-li3id]

@@Optionvideo209 thrilled with it. The SNC75 is what I got (same as sn8yg) and the SPK8-S wireless rears. Total it cost me around $400 for the 5.1.2. DUplicating this w/ Sonos or Bose would have cost me 5x as much for marginally better audio. Effortless connection w/ my android and my wifes iphone so we can stream Pandora/spotify through it. Probably doesnt hurt I have it also paired to an LG OLED tv. Buy it, you wont be disappointed.

[@habsfan9383]

This HDMI connection part is incorrect as this set up will give you significant sound delay when selecting Dolby Atmos on your Xbox Series X. The Soundbar supports HDMI 2.1 so you actually want to route your Xbox into the input HDMI of the Soundbar and then route the eArc HDMI output of the Soundbar into the eArc input of the TV (only one HDMI going into the TV). This will allow the audio and video of the Xbox to sync together while using Dolby Atmos.

[@TrollingHistory]

Why would you use anything but headphones though. Dolby atmos is OK for movies. Not gaming. Headphones are for gaming. Atmos is just another buzz word just like dolby digital when I was a kid. Then dolby 123. Whatever they want to call their new fandango thing. My phone has dolby atmos and its nothing special. My TV has dolby atmos built in and it sounds brilliant truly brilliant but it does not sound anything like surround sound. LG sk8000 plb. The best sounding TV I've seen for years loud deep and bass e. But not surround. I had a cheap dvd surround sound system connected to my TV years and years and years ago CRT TV old. That was surround sound and it sounded amazing. If there was a train on the TV sounding off it sounded like a real train was in the room over there then over there then behind me. Even better than the cinema since it was small room me in the middle of the speakers. Dolby atmos could never do that.

[@mingomane1]

Atmos provides height. That’s all it is. It has nothing to do with the regular surround sound. It doesn’t work without upfiring speakers.

[@clashwithmoi8926]

@@TrollingHistory atmos is absolutely not a buzzword. If set up correctly, it improves surround sound incredibly. Your phone supports dolby atmos as in it can read dolby atmos audio but that doesn’t mean it’s speakers can recreate atmos sound enough for you to hear it. Connect your phone to atmos capable home theater speakers and you have true atmos audio

question And want to buy a sound projector with Dolby Atmos My question is whether it is worth taking with 3.1 and adding two rear speakers or buying 4.1 or 5.1? The question is whether it is worth paying twice as much to get a good product? And if at all 3.1 with two more speakers will give me the same quality as 4.1 or 5.1? Is it possible to dispense with a central speaker in a sound projector that is 4.1? For example lg Sn7y It has no built-in side speakers.

Is the Sound just as good or is it changed by mounting it on the wall...?

[@kipperrd8964]

@@marcel793 mounting it doesn’t change the sound as long as it’s mounted correctly ie; speakers facing up. There is a “cut out sheet” that come with the soundbar so you know exactly where to place it as not to have the sound bounce off the bottom of the tv. It has to be low enough for “sound clearance”. For what it’s worth after a couple of months of using it… it’s good but I don’t have the rear speakers, just the bar and the sub. As a result the var is handling both the highs and mids and voice quality (on any setting) remains a bit muffled. If you can get the rear speakers I would definitely recommend you do. It’s a good system but for $800 we can prob do better. Hope this helps.

And if so, do I still need to have the optical (in & out) cord connected? I'm assuming it's one or the other. 3) once I get the HDMI eARC cables, will it allow me to adjust the volume on my TV CX remote? I don't want to be using 2 separate remotes 4) is there any possible way to have the sound bar and subwoofer completely wireless? No rush on the response. I'd appreciate any guidance you can provide. Thanks in advance man

[@mobiscrub]

For 1 and 4: The subwoofer wirelessly connects with the speaker (the actual bar). They connect to each other via Bluetooth and they do so automatically. However, the sound bar and the subwoofer need to connect to a power source independently. So that can't be completely wireless. 2. You just need an ARC compatible HDMI cable and you wouldn't need the optical cable. 3. Yes, you'll be able to adjust the volume with just one remote.

I bought this sound bar last week. These are great speakers for music , good for tv shows however not good for movie watching . Rear speakers LG SPK8-S: needs to be purchased separately however they are not available in India. In amazon the rear speakers cost as much as 40K on top of the sound bar cost. Dobly atmos is a gimmick I couldn't get it to work on movies played locally on my LG C9 or Netflix app. If you are planning to upgrade in future to a 5.1 setup these aren't worth it due to lack of rear speakers availability. If you want a surround setup go with HT Z9F including rear speakers now you get it for 69k online, check in your local stores for extra discount during festive offer and CC cash back you get it for like 60 including rear speakers.

[@GhostSal]

I bought the LG sn9yg, I read good reviews on it but was very disappointed. I connected with HDMI (connected to LG C9) and still wasn’t impressed at all. The bass is weak and doesn’t do a good job of making you feel the immersion you’d expect while watching action scenes. The rear speakers (bought separately) were almost completely silent and the atmos sound from above was non existent. I tried for hours, different settings and videos with no luck. It was a good basic soundbar but almost nothing as far as atmos. It’s close to $1k, performance wise it should cost $300 to $400. I’m debating on trying the JBL 9.1 system next, if anyone has any recommendations I’d love your input.

Couple of things: 1. Are you sure you connected using the ARC HDMI port of your TV to the ARC HDMI port of the soundbar? 2. Even if you did that, you've to be sure that the HDMI cable is ARC compatible itself. Old hdmi cables don't support ARC. ARC is important as it automatically detects the sound that's coming and switches Atmos on or off. 3. You've to be sure you're watching content that has Dolby Atmos content in it. 4. Do run the AI sound calibration once to ensure its optimised basis the placement. 5. Use LG wifi speaker app to increase the bass.

@@mobiscrub I appreciate the quick reply, thank you. Yes, the HDMI was bought supporting ARC (recommended by the Abt sales associate). Also it is plugged into the LG C9 ARC as well. The content was tried through several sources Atmos test videos on KZbin, Amazon Prime and Netflix. I didn’t see anything about a self calibration tool on the soundbar but I’ve tried adjusting the settings (for hours) and no luck. I just now downloaded the app and will try that tomorrow, if it doesn’t work I’ll have to return it and try a different soundbar (I was thinking the JBL Atmos soundbar based on test reviews). There is basically no noticeable Atmos affect and little subwoofer sound, for a regular soundbar it might be ok... But not at this price and supposedly Atmos (I did see a recent price drop, still it’s overpriced and I’d say worth between $300 and $400).

[@mobiscrub]

I'm not sure about JBL as I've never experienced them. But I do recommend, that before you buy, a review should only help you narrow down your choices. When it comes to sound, it's important to experience by yourself. So I'd always prefer a live demo before purchase. Also, did you try setting your sound mode to Movie? I'm using them right now as my daily speaker and I've been quite happy.

@@mobiscrub Yes, movie is the best by far but missing any sound from above and the rears are very quiet. I wish I could hear them at the store but most places don’t have them set up where you can listen and if they do the rooms are huge and you can’t tell if sound is bouncing off the walls/ceiling. I’ve had surround systems in the past I really enjoyed, For example a Denon receiver and Definitive Technology speakers (it was incredible). I know no bar will reproduce that sound but I’d still expect to hear sound above and more sound behind. Do you hear sound above you in scenes with rain, helicopters, etc. with yours?

[@mobiscrub]

Yeah... I do. It's definitely not as accurate as it could with speakers that can physically simulate the effect, but given that these soundbars are trying to recreate the effect virtually, there's only so much you can expect. Right?

Does this soundbar provides the best Dolby Atmos experience

[@mobiscrub]

Hard to say... I've not experienced many to be honest

[@martymcfly9342]

Not at all

[@pijesz]

You need speakers on the ceiling facing down towards you for the best Atmos experience.
