Soundbar Recommendations Please

TheRealM

Hi,
I've just bought this TV (https://www.johnlewis.com/lg-oled55c9pla-2019-oled-hdr-4k-ultra-hd-smart-tv-55-inch-with-freeview-play-freesat-hd-dolby-atmos-streamlined-alpine-stand-ultra-hd-certified-black-silver/p4103589) and would like to get a soundbar for it. Could I get some recommendations please? ideally don't want to pay more than £400

There will no doubt be better but my dad got this one and we are very happy with the sound quality.

Depends very much on the size of the room it's in, but, the Sonos Beam is worth a look. I have one and it's also very good with music and has Google assistant and Alexa built in.
Of course, If you have a large room, you may want to save up a little more and find one with Dolby Atmos capability. Sonos have just launched the Arc (which I'm waiting to demo) at £799, but, there are others.

For that sort of money you could look at a Sonos Beam, or for a little more the Sonos Playbar.

Another Sonos Beam owner here. Just plug it into HDMI1 (the ARC port) and you're away.

Thanks for the recommendations guys. Its quite a big room so I might be best upping budget and going for the Playbar. No advantages of getting an LG bar so its same brand as TV?

Well you’re doing better than I did. When I asked about soundbars I’m fairly sure I got grumbled at and people moaned about not using the search function. 

Not that im saying that’s what you should do. Personally I don’t think it’s the end of the world when people ask questions. 

Some do though.

Have a look over at Richer Sounds, they currently have the Playbar at £499.

Why dont you go the whole way and get a cinema surround system? I just picked up a Sony one online for a tenner second hand but it looks like new and the sound is amazing.
