"There aren't many all-in-one soundbar solutions that give you as much sonic immersion for your money as LG's S95. Many modern soundbar brands prefer to sell high-priced single bars, with add-on speakers available for an additional fee. LG provides a subwoofer, dual surrounds, and LG's unique mix of five (not four) height channels to put you in the center of the action for 3D sound formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X from the get-go."
"The latest-model S95AR offers a modest upgrade over last year's S95TR (8/10, WIRED Recommends), including a revamped subwoofer and a $200 price hike to go with it. It's perhaps no coincidence that the S95's biggest rival, Samsung's 11.1.4-channel Q990, has also raised its price in recent years, keeping LG's slightly less elaborate 9.1.5-channel setup the more affordable option at full price."
"I still prefer Samsung's warmer, more musical sound signature, but the S95AR is a thrilling performer that offers similar (if not better) value, along with exclusive features for owners of newer LG TVs. If you're looking for a one-stop setup that gets you close to a multi-component home theater solution, but with much less hassle, the S95AR is among the best soundbars around."
LG's S95AR is an all-in-one 9.1.5-channel soundbar system that includes a subwoofer and dual surrounds, plus a unique five-height-channel arrangement for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The S95AR upgrades the previous S95TR with a revamped subwoofer and carries a $200 price increase. The S95AR remains a more affordable full-package option compared with Samsung's pricier 11.1.4 Q990 while offering comparable value. The S95AR delivers thrilling, immersive performance, though some listeners may prefer Samsung's warmer, more musical signature. Some units have arrived with dents in the metallic grille while functioning normally. Components must be powered in a specific order to ensure surround connectivity.
