Immersive Sound Experience with LG’s S95TR Soundbar System
Connecting the LG S95TR soundbar through HDMI with eARC to your modern TV allows for seamless control of audio volume using the TV remote. However, for adjusting settings, you may need to use the soundbar’s remote (unless you own an LG TV). The soundbar supports features like Tidal Connect and Dolby Vision pass-through, making it perfect for streaming music or connecting your disc player for high-quality video and audio playback.

Recently, I had the pleasure of testing out this system alongside LG’s new C4 OLED TV. The combination of the soundbar and the TV’s built-in speakers created an immersive audio experience, enhancing the center channel and making voices sound like they’re coming directly from the screen.
The multitude of speakers and their impressive volume output provide a sense of scale as scenes change or transition between different types of content. Whether watching modern blockbusters like Dune and Mad Max: Fury Road or switching to a TV show like RuPaul’s Drag Race, the soundbar, subwoofer, and satellite speakers deliver a dynamic audio profile that truly immerses you in the viewing experience.
While you can adjust sound modes on the soundbar, sticking to standard settings is a safe choice for most content. Cinema mode enhances surround and height channels for a more cinematic experience during movie playback.
Pairing the S95TR with a late-model LG TV results in a seamless audio experience, thanks to LG’s AI processing technology. The hassle-free setup and performance create a “set it and forget it” atmosphere, which is ideal for home theater enthusiasts.
The main competitor to the LG S95TR is Samsung’s Q990D soundbar, which offers a different audio profile with a slightly wider soundstage. However, the seamless integration of the S95TR with LG TVs makes it a preferred choice for LG TV owners.
Overall, LG has created a solid sound system with the S95TR soundbar, providing a fantastic audio experience that complements the viewing quality of LG TVs like the C4 OLED. If you’re looking to elevate your home entertainment setup, the LG S95TR Soundbar System is definitely worth considering.
