Very good soundbar, basic, does the job! ONE CON!
on December 28, 2015
Posted by: ACustomer
from Somewares in Texas...
Installation was quick and simple. Plug in optical cable, plug in power for sub and bar. Done! I was very surprised to see that the volume was controllable from the AT&T U-verse remote.
It is connected to a 50-inch LG TV in my master bedroom. Bass is controllable and sounds very good. Bar has excellent sound quality.
Display is very basic...
I have used Bluetooth for music from my iPhone. Works well, sounds good.
Remote is very basic and does the job.
Now... I own another LG soundbar connected to an LG Plasma. A higher-end soundbar system. I will not compare the two on quality and such as it's expected to have more features and such.
CON: This is a concern and the reason I gave both LG's a 4-star rating, instead of 5.
BASS CUTS OUT INTERMITTENTLY!!! LG!! FIX THIS!! It's not so bad but it is annoying. Not frequent enough to warrant return. But I have seen other reviews commenting on the same.
I haven't reviewed Sony or other manufacturers' reviews to see if this is just LG or across others... For the price, I've opted to keep the new soundbar. Cannot beat the sales price point.
But LG does need to address woofer cut-out.
Note: the subs for both are well within Bluetooth range. 12-15 feet with minimal blocking from furniture and such. The new one has line-of-sight connectivity.

Very satisfied installation customer

from Somewares in Texas...
Took my Sony head unit for installation to the new Pflugerville store. Bought an HU and BT mic from another online store and had installation service only. Took the installer about 1 hour and done! The guy was very friendly, professional, and easy to talk to. After owning the car for almost 16 years, I know have CD, USB connection for my Ipod, and most importantly...bluetooth for my phone. Now I'm worried that I'm going to get the upgrade bug and go for some new speakers :)
What's great about it: Very friendly, professional service. HU and mic install was quick and well done.
What's not so great: Nothing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Contacted LG customer service on 12/31...
December 31, 2015
I watched a movie last night and counted over 30+ cutouts of the bass woofer. I contacted LG today. I explained that I had similar problem with a 1-yr old NB35 soundbar, but to a lesser degree. He wanted me to buy a new optical cable... I said no because the unit had one provided. They are shipping a new optical cable. I will update this comment. They said they would work with me if that cable did not resolve issue. I purchased the same sound bar for my girlfriend and will be setting it up today. If her sound bar cuts out, I am returning both. That would make three LG's with a problem. I noticed others reporting similar issues.
Funny comment: the guy at Customer Service had never heard of Best Buy. geez... really??
