Verdict

The LG Eclair SE6 is a compact 3.0-channel, 100W all-in-one soundbar featuring five drivers and four passive radiators for enhanced bass, supporting Dolby Atmos and DTS:X without a dedicated subwoofer. While it offers versatile connectivity via Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, and HDMI eARC, it relies on virtualized height effects rather than physical up-firing speakers and features a, at times, thin midrange. Pros include its stylish design and LG TV integration, while the lack of a physical display is a notable downside.

What customers like about LG SE6?
