LG S70TR review: 108 specs compared

What owners dislike

• Weak subwoofer bass lacks deep impactOwners say the subwoofer lacks deep bass, with low rumble barely reproduced even when boosted; one found maxing it and lowering front channels helped.17
• Rear speakers fail to pair or play soundOwners say the rear speakers blink and won't pair, or drop connection when volume rises or near a router; resets often don't help.16
• Atmos height effects are barely noticeableOwners say the Atmos height channel is barely noticeable, with only one upward speaker giving little sense of sound coming from above.8
• Soundbar or speaker hardware failuresSome owners report the soundbar board burning out, rear speakers or the main unit stopping, and units failing within days, needing service.7
• Intermittent hiss and crackling from speakersOwners hear radio-like hiss or crackle from the rear or centre speakers that lasts about 30 seconds, comes back minutes later, and mostly shows on TV channels.6
• Streaming and browser surround support variesOwners say streaming apps and PC browsers often send only stereo, so Atmos or surround does not play; one concluded a smart TV or streaming stick is needed.5
• Subwoofer pairing or operation failuresThe subwoofer often disconnects, blinks red, and stays paired only briefly; one owner had to unplug and restart it to reconnect.4
• No audio from TV, ARC, or Fire TVOwners report no sound from the soundbar when a Fire TV is plugged into HDMI, or TV audio failing to play through it even with green lights showing.4
• Action scenes can sound harsh or failIn action scenes with explosions and bass, Dolby Atmos content can sound loud and harsh, crackle, or cut out for some owners.4
• HDMI limits 4K HDR and high refreshHDMI input limits 4K to 60Hz, so high-refresh gaming needs 1440p; one owner's picture vanished with VRR on, another reports no 4K HDR.3
