Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Frustrating

Junowho1 3/22/2023

Subwoofer constantly disconnects have to do hard resets constantly should have returned it sooner past return date should have warranty sooner. I dont I just think it should work seemlessly. Now the subwoofer doesnt turn on at all. So I left with a tin sounding sound bar. Wish I would have known sooner I would have went with something else.

KK2023 3/10/2023

This is the second time I am buying this same device to use it with my LG OLED and after using it for a little over a year it started causing the same exact issues as the previous one: the sound suddenly drops after 30 minutes and of use and I have to power off the TV and back to make it work again.

Subwoofer Doesnt last

Cp256 1/30/2023

I bought this sound bar with subwoofer 2 years ago assuming it would last at the least 5 years. I am hard of hearing and bought the unit with subwoofer to enhance tv viewing for me. Unfortunately a couple months ago I realized the subwoofer wasnt working no green or red light in the back of the unit. After multiple attempts to reconnect I reached out to LG customer support for assistance on 2 occasions. They ended up telling me I should have purchased an extended warranty. Customer support was not helpful. The outside technician they referred me to was rude and not helpful. I didnt purchase an extended warranty because I trusted LG to make a product that would last longer than 2 years. Now I am left with a working sound bar only.

A Very Disappointing product

Disappointed Comm Tech 1/16/2023

Very shortly after the warranty expired the subwoofer Sbn5B-W ceased working. I have a technicians diploma so I investigated. A power supply failure became obvious as the cause. Looking for a schematic I found the discussion forums were alive with users having issues that appear to be identical to mine. An email to the president has yielded no results as yet. No schematic is available LG recommends replacement of the entire EBR89625801 board which appears to be common throughout the entire series of LG sound bar subwoofers. After I complete this review I intend to see if I can get a replacement power supply/amplifier board from LG customer service.

In about 18 months the subwoofer stopped working. Have continuously been trying to reset the system but no luck. Unfortunately going to have to buy a whole new system as the cost of repair is not practical. Disappointing.

darogo 1/6/2023

Ive now been through two of these. The subwoofer on this model stopped working. I returned it for a new one and the subwoofer on the new one stopped working as well I tried to get my money back but LG wont return my money. Instead they fixed it and gave it to back to me. I fought to get a refund and they refused. Save your money and go with a different company

Soundbar issue

Bbatch 12/28/2022

LG Soundbar woofer stop working within two years. The unit has no power going to it. The unit was hardley used like new and is out of the Mfg warranty. Its not worth the money LG charges to fix. Garbage unit there is no reason this should stop receiving power.

Why has my subwoofer stopped working

WTL2 10/11/2022

I bought the sound bar with my 65 GX tv in April21 and by August 22 the subwoofer stopped working. The power light doesnt come on. LG phone tech did what he could but its dead. Its also concerning how little support there is for this product. I live in Chicago area too.

Seamless customer service experience

Jerry5659 10/6/2022

Bought a 3.1 LG Soundbar about a year ago and paired it to my LG TV. Fantastic sound and worked liked a charm until the sub woofer died. Inexplicable but would not power up. Got on the phone with a very friendly customer service rep who agreed it needed to be sent back/repaired. She sent me a FedEx label and boxing materials. I then sent the entire unit back to LG. 10 days later I received it back and hooked it back up to my TV and everything works like a charm. I think they actually just replaced the Sub which I was happy with.

Faulty Components

BrentG 9/28/2022

Lasted just under 2 years before the subwoofer died. Read online and see that hundreds of people had the same issue after a firmware update pushed out by LG. Customer service would not do anything but recommend taking it to one of their service centers to pay $150+ to repair.

Tim atl 9/21/2022

Same as every one else was great until the subwoofer died after less than two years of limited use. Very disappointing. Obviously a systemic design or manufacturing issue. LG should provide an extended warranty or recall this product. Will not consider LG products in the future.

Poor Equipment All Around

johnnyb123 8/23/2022

Im giving this a terrible review because the subwoofer does not will not and can not connect. I have gone through all of the steps to fix this that are both online and through LGs customer service with no results. No there is not light on the subwoofer at all and it will not turn on. They said that my product was out of warranty and gave me the number of a repairman lol. Kill me. What is the point of this? You cant stand by your product and instead send me to a 3rd party to get it fixed? The cost of the fix is more than the unit is worth. Sound quality was overall poor and we are in a row home so you are very close to the system. The major gripe of course is the lack of connection on the subwoofer but overall the product is bad. Avoid.

Subwoofer stopped working

L Mack 7/3/2022

Like many reviewers my subwoofer stopped working about a year after purchase. I went through most of the measures online to correct the problem but they either did not work or the solution only fixed the problem a short period. I eventually sought out the source LG and went through a lengthy communication over phone and later email. The outcome of our communication was awesome. I sent the unit free of charge back to LG and they fixed the problem free of charge. This was latter 2019 when the issue began and the repairs were completed by early 2020. Ive had no other issues with my system since that repair.

amseitchik 7/1/2022

Purchased the soundbar and subwolfer when I bought an LG OLED TV. Product worked great until it didnt. Like so many who have written reviews the subwolfer just stopped working. No power. Done. Did all the troubleshooting. To add insult to injury the support from the chat was as bad as it gets. Frustrating and useless. The TV has been great but I would NOT purchase the soundbar and subwolfer and wont purchase any LG audio products in the future

Eric035035 5/4/2022

I bought this product 1 year and 3 months ago. After moving the subwoofer and plugging it in I noticed that it was not working. Upon further inspection I noticed that the light on the back of the subwoofer was not on. There is a power plug and 1 button on this device and it stopped working after 1 year and 3 months. Manufacturers warranty only covers 1 year and I was told that I will have to pay for the repairs. I will not be repairing this device and will never buy another LG sound bar

Great while it worked.

JGT1234 4/27/2022

The Good: I purchased this to improve dialog during movies and it made and IMMEDIATE impact. Clear separation and a substantial improvement over previous 2.1 sandbars. The bass response is good and the ability to place anywhere to improve sound is a great advantage. The Bad: The subwoofer stopped working and it rendered the system unusable for movies. It became evident that Much of the midrange was being handled by the subwoofer and while dialog was still good and the sound became thin and narrow. The Bonus: Currently being fixed by LG even though warranty expired by two days. Waiting for system to come back. Currently avoiding movies as sound thru TV is junk.

joneswashu 4/24/2022

The system was great and I enjoyed it in combination with an LG Oled TV which I purchased at the same time. However as many people have reported the subwoofer stopped connecting last week. Ive had it for about 16 months just out of warranty. I thought it was something I was doing wrong until I started reading the reviews. I might have to try another product or get a soundbar with a wired sub. Very disappointing especially since it worked great until the warranty ended.

GLWard 4/18/2022

The sound was great when I purchased it the sound bar and subwoofer. However the sound started deteriorating after approximately ten months of use. Finally it stopped working all together. I sent it in for repair and it worked for approximately one week. The sound isnt clear and it had a static sound.
