To satisfy the needs of audiophiles who are craving for an immersive audio experience at home, LG Electronics USA has revealed their latest wireless soundbar that’s designed specifically to provide the best small-scale home audio experience possible.

The S95QR Soundbar will be spearheading LG’s audio lineup for CES 2022, boasting the best features that gamers and music lovers will ever want from a wireless speaker. From its elegant design to its impressive internals, this soundbar was made particularly for those who want only the best for their home setups.

Here are all of the amazing features that everyone needs to know about this product.

Immersive, Cinema-Level Audio Quality

In line with LG’s mission to bring the best audio quality possible, the S95QR is equipped with high-end internals and clever design choices. This soundbar has an impressive 810W output capability and 9.1.5 channels to deliver an immersive audio experience.

It also has the world’s first center up-firing speaker to create an ultra-realistic soundscape; when combined with media enhanced with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced, users can enjoy an at-home audio experience that can rival the quality of cinemas, assuming that the proper setup is used.

For gamers, the S95QR offers an excellent alternative to headphones that’s perfect when situated in small rooms. The speaker’s advanced features are able to improve in-game immersion without sacrificing any of the practical advantages that headsets provide in terms of pure audio capabilities. Gamers can expect to hear crucial information like footsteps, gunfire and other location-based sound cues without the hassle of wearing headphones.

On the other hand, music lovers will find the S95QR’s Music Mode to be more than enough to create that perfect room atmosphere. The soundbar comes with Meridian Audio’s Horizon tech, which can up-mix two-channel audio to 7.1 channels. Simply put, users can fill a room with their favorite songs at the best quality possible.

Notable Enhancements

What sets the S95QR apart from LG’s previous offerings is a set of key enhancements that have managed to solve many of the old issues users may have experienced with past products.

Among the first and most important enhancements are the upgrades to the speaker drivers, speaker chambers and subwoofer. The wireless rear speakers now have more audio channels that allow them to distribute high-quality audio over a larger area, making them perfect for enclosed spaces.

An improved receiver with variable refresh rate and low-latency functionalities also allows the soundbar to work flawlessly even when placed away from its accompanying subwoofer and rear speakers. This is great for console gamers as it makes sure that the audio will never be out of sync with the on-screen action. Unfortunately, 4K 120Hz HDR passthrough for gaming is not supported.

The Verdict

Not many soundbars are loaded with the sheer number and caliber of the features that the S95QR has. The device’s ability to create amazing soundscapes is stunning, and it could pave the way for a new generation of soundbars that can rival or surpass its current capabilities.

With that said, we’re giving the S95QR our Best of CES 2022 award.
