Back in January, LG announced two new Dolby Atmos soundbars, and now they've just gone on sale, we can confirm pricing.
The USC9S is the more premium model and costs £1000 / $1000 (around AU$1840). The USE6S is more modestly priced, at £500 / $450 (around AU$920).
Namely, it's the only soundbar in the world designed specifically for LG's C Series OLED TVs. It comes with its own bracket that's compatible with the LG C3 or C2 at 55-, 65- and 77-inch sizes. The bracket lets you wall- or stand-mount the soundbar while it's actually attached to the TV.
Both the USC9S and the smaller USE6S boast LG's AI Sound Pro feature. This analyses the audio signal from whatever you're watching (or listening to) and automatically applies the optimum settings. We're hoping this will save you a lot of time digging around in the menus.
Pair your LG soundbar with your compatible LG TV, and you can bring up the settings menu on-screen using the TV's Home Dashboard. This will let you manage the soundbar's settings and share sound modes with the TV, all without opening a separate menu.
You don't even need to plug it into the TV, thanks to the Wowcast feature that enables wireless connectivity. LG claims this won't compromise sound quality, but we'll have to test them for ourselves to verify that.
