Soundbars / LG
LG S95AR
A complete 9.1.5 system with rears and sub in the box — the LG OLED match.
Overall score 8.8/10
Pros
- + Rear speakers and subwoofer both included, so it is a complete system out of the box
- + The only bar here with a centre up-firing height channel
- + 810W published power and full 4K/120Hz VRR pass-through
- + WOW Orchestra and WOWCAST make it the natural match for an LG OLED
Cons
- − LG does not publish the Bluetooth version
- − Whether Alexa or Google Assistant is genuinely built in is unclear from LG's own materials
- − Large footprint — the bar, sub and two rears need real space
- − 2025 hardware, and LG has announced a modular Sound Suite successor with no price or date
LG S95AR review: what the specs say
A complete 9.1.5 system with rears and sub in the box — the LG OLED match. At $1,699, LG's 2025 model sits at the premium end of the category — the soundbars we compare run from $129.99 to $1,999.99. It scores 8.8/10 overall, calculated from published specifications across 8 categories rather than from a subjective impression.
Its strongest showing is Surround & Height at 9.5/10 — dolby Atmos height effect and how convincingly it places surround audio. The weakest is Value at 8.0/10, which is the trade-off to weigh before buying: if that is the specification you care about most, one of the alternatives below will serve you better.
Worth knowing before you buy: LG does not publish the Bluetooth version; and whether Alexa or Google Assistant is genuinely built in is unclear from LG's own materials. Every specification on this page comes from LG's own documentation or a verified retail listing — where a figure is not published, the table says so rather than estimating it.
