Before you start comparing the best soundbars for LG TVs, consider your priorities. Your aesthetic, lifestyle, favourite media and preferred price point can impact the features you look for.
The typical soundbar setup includes a long speaker that sits under the TV, and a subwoofer that sits on the floor. This combination allows you to fine tune your TV's bass and treble for enhanced, surround-sound audio quality. To go a step further, the best soundbars for LG TVs also include AI calibration to automatically adjust to every beat.1
In order to determine how much power and customisation you need, let's dive into the details.
DSC9S best soundbar for LG OLED TVs
The main component of the soundbar is filled with individual sound sources, or speakers. The amount of speakers the soundbar contains represents how many channels it has. Here are some of the most popular soundbar channels:
A 2-channel TV soundbar has one speaker on the left side, and one on the right side. This type of soundbar is ideal for compact, soft-walled rooms.
Soundbars with three channels have a sound source on either end, and one in the middle. One of the benefits of 3-channel soundbars is the even sound distribution.
A 5-channel soundbar has all of the speakers in the option above, as well as two backward-facing sound sources. These are the most common TV soundbars for home theatre systems.
A popular alternative to traditional surround-sound setups, these TV soundbars add another layer to 5-channel systems by including two additional rear sound sources.
If you want to feel like you’re swimming in powerful audio, 9-channel soundbars deliver 360-degree sound coverage.
For the best sound quality for large, high-ceiling spaces, Dolby Atmos TV soundbars lead the market. These include an upward-firing speaker located in the soundbar that reflects sound above you for a 3-dimensional audio experience.
Design is an important factor to look at when choosing a soundbar. To achieve an ideal visual and audio experience, consider compatibility with your TV size, soundbar installation types and soundbar colour.

For a balanced look and the best sound, a soundbar should ideally be the same length of your TV or a little shorter than it. Take a look at the recommended soundbar sizes based on your TV’s size:
TV Size Recommended Soundbar Size
32 inch 62~70 cm
43 inch 82~92 cm
50 inch 95~106 cm
55 inch 105~117 cm
65 inch and above 123~148 cm
Consider how you are going to install your soundbar. Are you going to wall-mount it or place it on a stand?
If your TV is wall mounted, it is recommended that you wall mount your soundbar as well. Install it in the centre right under your TV for optimised sound.
If you have your TV on a stand or a TV console, the best place to keep your soundbar is in front of your TV, in the middle of your TV console. To get the best soundbar size, make sure you measure the length of your TV as well as that of your console or cabinet. The soundbar should ideally be smaller in height and width than the console.
For a seamless and sleek aesthetic, consider selecting a soundbar that matches your TV colour.
If you want to find the best TV soundbar for your current setup, you need the right connections.
For seamless connectivity that allows you to take your soundbar from room to room, check for Bluetooth or Wi-Fi capabilities. A wireless connection is also ideal for streaming from your phone or mobile device.
Most newer TVs feature an HDMI port, which is the easiest way to connect multi-channel soundbars. You simply connect this one cable from your soundbar to the audio return channel (ARC) input in your TV.
If your soundbar has fewer than five channels, optical ports provide a stable, reliable connection between your TV and soundbar.
Sometimes you might want to use your soundbar as a standalone speaker. In these cases, look for USB inputs to easily play music or podcasts from a removable thumb drive.
Once you understand the types of soundbars that are available, you can find the right choice for you. Check out our favourites to get started.
