LG 55LM7600 3D LED TV LG used some extra packaging

We received this for free with the purchase of our LG 55LM7600 3D LED TV. I figured that since it was being offered for free that it probably wouldn't be that great. I was a little interested in the fact that it had a wireless sub-woofer though.

The box was a little bigger than I would have though it would be but I was happy to see that LG used some extra packaging to ship these for sale.

Hooking this up was extremely easy. One cable for power off the back of the sound bar itself, and a single optical cable to the back of the TV. It was nice in that the sub was wireless so we were able to just sit it off to the side.

I saw one other review stating that this unit didn't sound as if it was 300 watts. Personally, myself and my wife think that this unit sounds really good. We don't really use the 3D sound effect as we honestly can't tell much of a difference. This may just be us though.

I do wish that this unit had some different options as far as connectivity.

I do appreciate the fact that LG stuck with Bluetooth connectivity, instead of going strictly with Apple Airplay for compatibility sake. We only use Apple in our house so Airplay wouldn't have hindered us at all.

Is this my ideal sound setup for our living room / movie room? Not at all. Do I think this would work in a smaller room? i.e. bedroom / office Yes...150% YES!

Overall, I gave this a 4 due to the few shortcomings I feel the unit has.

Look: 4/5

• I bought this to enhance the sound of my ceiling speakers. I wanted something small that would fit under a table or love seat so my choices were limited. It's just OK. It cranks out a lot of high, boomy bass but doesn't sound very natural. I have it hooked up to the subwoofer output of a Yamaha CRX-330BL CD Receiver. Unfortunately, neither the receiver nor the sub have a crossover setting. I think that would make all the difference in the world. On certain songs that have low bass notes, the sub seems to reproduce those notes pretty well. The problem is it has a peak at around the 100-200Hz range that makes everything sound boomy.
  
  Another complaint is the sub does not seem to turn off when no audio is fed to it. There is a control cord that came with it but no where to plug it into the receiver. Every other sub I own turns on when a signal is applied and turns off after a few minutes if no signal is detected. This is a poor design.
  
  I plan to open the box to see if there is anything I can do to improve the sound. Perhaps some acoustic foam or fiberfill in the cabinet may reduce the boominess, if it doesn't already have some. If that doesn't work, I'll try some modifications to the circuit to see if I can lower the crossover frequency. I'll report back with my results.
