Is it worth having a sound bar?\u00a0This is one of the most common questions among consumers who want to improve the image and sound section of their home.\u00a0And it is that it has as many detractors as followers.\u00a0Although it is true that it is a VERY interesting team, which will give us a quality plus when it comes to watching our favorite movies or content, it is also true that we cannot always make the most of its possibilities.\u00a0Do you have your living room completely soundproofed or do you live in a country house?\u00a0Don’t even think twice, you’re going to be amazed by everything they can offer you.\u00a0Conversely, do you live in a block of flats where the walls look like cigarette paper?\u00a0So maybe the investment is not worth it if you don’t want your neighbors to be going up every hour asking you to turn down the volume… In any case,\u00a0sound bar\u00a0, today we are talking about the\u00a0\u00a0LG S60Q\u00a0, a model as interesting as it is economical for the qualities it offers.<\/p>\n

We are going to discover everything about this equipment from\u00a0LG\u00a0, below.\u00a0Grab a pencil and paper, take notes, let’s start.<\/p>\n

Design of the LG S60Q<\/h3>\n

This\u00a0\u00a02.1 LG S60Q sound bar\u00a0is made up of two elements: the bar itself and a subwoofer.\u00a0The subwoofer measures\u00a0\u00a0171 x 261 x 390 mm\u00a0and weighs\u00a0\u00a05.3\u00a0\u00a0kg\u00a0, while the bar measures\u00a0\u00a0760 x 90 x 63 mm\u00a0\u00a0and weighs\u00a0\u00a04 kg\u00a0.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As we see in the images, its design lines are very discreet and minimalist.\u00a0They do not have any element that stands out, they are all straight lines with the controls and ports well integrated so that they do not stand out.\u00a0Available in\u00a0\u00a0black\u00a0, they have a small keypad on the top and connection ports on the back.<\/p>\n

We can use it by cable or wirelessly, as best suits you.<\/p>\n

Dolby Atmos Virtual<\/h3>\n

If we go into analyzing its more purist technical specifications, more focused\u00a0on the advantages that they can give us to improve the sound of our television, we can highlight that it has a power of\u00a0\u00a0300 W.\u00a0It is divided into 200 W for the subwoofer and 100 W for the bar.\u00a0This will allow us to listen to the movies with a heart-stopping volume, but not only that is important.\u00a0The sensitivity is\u00a0\u00a085 dB\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The high-quality surround and immersive effect is provided by\u00a0\u00a0Dolby Atmos Virtual, Dolby True HD and Dolby Digital\u00a0technology , so that we also feel that we are in the cinema with a spectacular 3D effect.\u00a0In addition, so that you don’t get shocked and you don’t have to keep turning the volume up and down in each scene, it has\u00a0\u00a0AI Sound Pro\u00a0technology that helps us optimize the sound thanks to integrated AI.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the other hand, so that it is relevant to each content with which we are working, it also has a\u00a0\u00a0Gaming mode\u00a0, in case we use it while we play, which adjusts the equalization so that the sound allows us to detect where the sound is coming from. enemy.<\/p>\n

If you wish, you can\u00a0mount it on the wall\u00a0or use it on a surface, for example, on the TV cabinet.\u00a0As best suits you.\u00a0Of course, you should know that it\u00a0does not incorporate FM Radio, or screen and is not compatible with Apple AirPlay 2 or Spotify Connect\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Finally, in terms of its energy consumption, we find a consumption of\u00a0\u00a050 W\u00a0active and\u00a0\u00a00.5 W\u00a0\u00a0if we leave it on standby.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

A very important point in sound bars is their connectivity.\u00a0As we already told you, we can use it by cable\u00a0\u00a0(optical input and HDMI ARC\u00a0) or also wirelessly, through\u00a0\u00a0Bluetooth 4.2\u00a0.\u00a0It also has\u00a0\u00a0USB direct playback\u00a0.<\/p>\n

You should bear in mind that it\u00a0\u00a0does not have WiFi\u00a0, which for some may be a disadvantage since, as we have mentioned, it does not have compatibility with Apple AirPlay 2 or Spotify Connect.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

LG S60Q is a very good option if you are looking for an overwhelming value for money. It sounds great, with immersive, powerful and clear sound. Also, you can choose whether to mount it on the wall or use it on a surface.<\/p>\n

It lacks connectivity options, such as WiFi, NFC or compatibility with Spotify Connect or Apple AirPlay 2, but in general it is quite well balanced and promises to keep up with us from day to day, whatever we need, whether we are going to watch an action movie, a sport or even playing video games for a while.<\/p>\n
