LG SK9Y Wi-Fi Bluetooth Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer

Have you ever been to the cinema and been blown away by the 3D sound you have experienced? Well, with this cinematic system, you get as close to that as possible from the comfort of your own sofa.

This is courtesy of the Object Based Audio from Dolby Atmos, and Adaptive Sound Control will balance it out depending on whatever you’re watching. Not to mention the whopping 500W of power, which is over double some of the other lower-end offerings.

It is packed with various extra functions which make it much more adaptable to your needs. Bluetooth allows you to stream music from other gadgets such as tablets or laptops, so you don’t need a separate speaker, and there is also built-in Chromecast. The latter allows you to stream music, podcasts, radio, and access Google Play through the TV.

If you own a Google Assistant speaker, the audio from the bar can be controlled with your voice. Handy if you’ve settled down with the blankets and are all cosy but need to turn the volume up slightly or change channel.

The HDMI ports allow for 4K pass-through, which in short means it can be connected to other devices, and there will be no loss in sound quality or timings. As the sub is wireless, you can pop it anywhere in the room for the best sound – some people love placing it behind them at the back of the room for more of a surround sound experience.

You can also pair it up with the dedicated SPK8 Wireless Surround Speakers if you want to go all out. Talking of pairing up though, people have commented that they struggled with connecting it to their Xbox and Sky Q boxes so if this is what you’d be doing as opposed to straight to the TV, you may wish to read up about this.
