Video Highlight! The LG S90TR Atmos Soundbar
When you're looking for a soundbar, finding the right one is tougher than choosing the TV to pair with it. Many look frustratingly similar, and online research can be tough when you can only test how something sounds in person. That's why you have to go with the reviews of others, like Abt's technologist Carl. Here, Carl walks through the LG S90TR soundbar and everything that's included in this package (and at this price point, you're getting a lot for your money.) The 7.1.3 channel speaker is extra long and includes two separate satellite speakers plus a massive subwoofer. For a debriefing about everything the LG soundbar can do, watch our video below. We'll break it down even further in our analysis.
An Extra-Wide Soundbar
The LG S90TR soundbar is a new introduction to LG's line of sound systems, and it is larger than life at over 49" long. That's over four feet wide, making this soundbar a standout model. It's that large for a reason: it's packed with speakers and extra-smart technology. Seven full channels create an immersive listening experience, with an up-firing channel as well as a center channel. Audio also comes at you from dual speakers on the left and right, all while the soundbar brings truly immersive 3D Spatial Sound. The effect places you in a bubble of truly cinematic audio. There's no wonder it's one of LG's top-tier soundbars. But not all of the speakers in this system are in the soundbar. Let's take a look at the wireless rear speakers.
Completely Wireless Surround Sound Speakers
Meet the two satellite rear speakers that come in the box alongside the main body of the LG S90TR soundbar. These are designed to be set up behind your sofa or in rear left and right corners of the room, all to contribute to the sense of surround sound, and they're completely wireless. That makes them easy to position and easy to place in your home.
While the thumping bass and multiple audio channels make the LG soundbar impressive, there's more than raw sound here. The LG S90TR is made for Dolby Atmos, an immersive wireless spatial sound experience that envelops listeners in audio that feels real. The triple up-firing speakers send music, dialogue and sound effects throughout the space, letting separate sonic elements shine through. The theater-level sound makes it seem like you're in the middle of the what's on TV; for more detail on Dolby Atmos, check out our article.
AI Sound Pro is another top feature, adjusting the settings on the LG S90TR to best match what you're watching. This puts every aspect of your soundbar to work, making it easy to hear everything you need. That's not the only space where AI comes in handy, either. AI Room Calibration helps you arrange the soundbar, satellite speakers and subwoofers when you first set up your new home speaker with the help of the S90TR's built-in microphone. It measures the dimensions of the room, taking in the spatial information and then adjusts and tweaks audio settings until the LG soundbar is optimized for your space. There's no need to drag furniture or speakers around to create that sweet spot; instead, the entire room is optimized for audio.

An Intelligent Soundbar Like Never Before
TThe LG S90TR soundbar is more than just a noisemaker. This 2024 soundbar is packed with smart tech that's designed to make listening to music, watching movies and playing games a completely new experience. While you can connect to the soundbar via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and many other wireless connections, you can make connections via classic HDMI and optical cords as well. But things really get exciting with the LG soundbar app. This is the perfect spot to make adjustments and tweak settings. Keep in mind that the soundbar does come with its own remote, but the smartphone app is where you can really go in-depth and adjust your sound.
From here, you can tweak the EQ and make larger changes by switching between modes. There are tons of modes designed to optimize sound output for whatever you're listening to or watching. Settings include AI Sound Pro as well as Standard, Cinema, Clear Voice Pro, Sports, Music, Game, and Bass Blast. And what's more, you can tweak different channels as well as the subwoofer to find the perfect settings for you, all from the app. Not interested in teasing and tailoring everything
The"WOW" Factor
The LG S90TR features WOW Orchestra technology. WOW Orchestra pairs certain LG TVs with your LG soundbar. The speakers on the TV and from the S90TR work in tandem for a truly "orchestral" experience. In truth, this soundbar is a perfect pair for the LG B4, C4 and G4 televisions. This is an amazing pick for gamers, too. With an HDMI input that can pass 4K and 120Hz signals right through, this soundbar is a great choice not just for listening to music and watching movies, but for immersive gameplay that moves fast. And if the soundbar connects to a TV equipped with WOW Orchestra while gamers play, get ready to feel completely enveloped in the world onscreen.
