LG NB3740 320W 4.1CH Streaming Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer, Built-In Wi-Fi, HDMI/USB, Ethernet

While my lg soundbar is not new, I did purchase it about 8 years ago, it was never abused or neglected. All of a sudden the wireless woofer stopped working and I could not get it paired with the soundbar. The green light just keeps flashing no matter how much I unplug and reboot the thing.

Sound Quality is amazing. Ease of use is also amazing. The appearance is sleek and is goes well with the surrounding decor. I would recommend this to anyone that is interested in similar items.

Sound is great. It’s very good for normal tv viewing and superb for movie viewing. Subwoofer paring is simple. Easy to mount. Here’s the only real disappointment…the Bluetooth range is awful. You can't be more than a few feet away before it starts braking up the signal. It's actually the worst Bluetooth product I've ever used. I have a portable Bluetooth speaker from another manufacturer and it works wonderfully from over 50’ away. You’re are LUCKY if you can get 5 feet from the soundbar. Another small disappointment is connecting to the tv. I have an LG tv and I thought they would seamlessly work together but that did not happen. I am not sure if it's the tv or the soundbar making it challenging so I can’t take anything away from my soundbar rating. When you get them working together the sound is fantastic. If Bluetooth is important to you DO NOT buy this soundbar. If you are using it solely for tv/movie viewing it’s great.

I bought this awhile ago and I haven't regretted it for a moment. The sound quality is great, the features are awesome.. I can watch Hulu, Netflix, HBO and a ton of other networks just from my soundbar.. and the price is a bargan! The only thing I wish it had was Amazonprime but really I have no complaints

This is a good soundbar with great sound for movies and video games. The bass can get extremely loud as well with good clarity. The surround sound quality is pretty solid too. However I have sent mine in to get fixed before for issues. Every now and again, the sound goes away and every voice sounds like they were sucking on helium. It has happened less since being sent in to LG, but it still occurs. If you are looking for a soundbar, I would recommend not going with this one and looking for a newer model.

My 4.1 Sound bar sounds fantastic! Even though I had a problem with it after two years of trouble free use, I called customer service repaired my unit for free even after the warranty had expired. LG stands by their products.....Life's Good

I have had this for over a year and have been pretty happy with this soundbar. It has good sound with a nice kick from the subwoofer. The only problem I have had is when changing outputs sometimes I will have to change back to the soundbar because of no sound. I have it paired with a LG 65UB9500 4k tv and the remote for the tv works and the sound is nice and balanced, the highs are very clear and the subwoofer has a decent amount of bass. Overall I am pleased with my purchase.

Easy set up out the box, sound quality is great for the living room with my LG 55". Movies are even better now with the theater like sound. Regular tv is also upgraded. With bluetooth, streaming music from my devices is awsome!!!!. If you dont want to spend a ton of money on popular name brand sound bars this is the sound bar for you!!!! Great sound bar for the price. Dont wait. Get one, youll be glad you did.

This was such an excellent purchase a fantastic addition to my home television experience. Setup was very easy especially the connection to the wireless sub-woofer which was completely seamless. The sound went beyond my expectations. I would recommend this product to anyone that wants surround sound at a reasonable price. The sound is equivalent to systems costing hundreds of dollars more.

First off, I need to say, Killer Sound! It's 10x better than what my brand new expensive smart TV puts out. I have a really nice surround sound system in the same room, for use with my blue-ray/DVD player, and this sound bar is almost as rich sounding (nowhere near the base tho I am very happy with the sound performance. I am fairly well experienced with media connectivity and setup, and this was not easy to get right. I don't mean just getting it to work (that's easy), I mean getting "everything" to work with it. You have to connect it to the TV via HDMI first to set it up. I hate that it does not come with a paper users-manual; it's accessible ONLY via the TV with the sound-bar remote. Supposedly, if you are to pair this LG soundbar with an LG smart TV, the soundbar remote will control both units. Well, that's just 50% true. Also, if you want to use other components like a cable or sat-tv box, dvd, blueray, your going to have a basket of remotes and intense input/output routing issues to manage. BE PREPARED to spend time in the User Menu screens, and gaining an in-depth understanding of Inputs and Outputs, HDMI verses Optical cable, WiFi compatibility and signal strength, BlueTooth connectivity, Power "ON" sequencing, and more. You will not just attach this unit and casually sit back and enjoy all the functions. Here are a few things to note: 1. The auto on/off function only works if you use the Optical cable (make sure your TV has a port) The user's guide and programming functions are only accessible if you use the HDMI cable. So use them BOTH if possible. You have to be careful here, most TVs don't have 4 or 5 HDMI ports and you may need the space for other components. 2. If you are connecting this to a new Smart TV, you already have all the SMART functions (apps, WiFi connectivity to your home network) so don't waste time trying to set this up to do the same) 3. This is an awesome bluetooth speaker for your iphone/ipad, but you must change the input back and forth from Optical to bluetooth. It's worth the effort! 4. Keep the Subwoofer within 3ft of the soundbar to insure it can pair with it easily. You can play with moving it around the room, but pairing will be sketchy. 5. If you ARE going to utilize the SMART functions, a strong WiFi connection is crucial. Even though my home has an awesome WiFi signal throughout, I had to get a WiFi signal booster to keep my system from constantly stalling, buffering streamed movies.

Great sound, not true Surround sound, but great for the price. Only problem is connecting to the internet even after getting WI-FI extender. Something that should be looked at.

I bought this soundbar to bring my ne 4k tv alive, but sadly this soundbar was a huge disappointment. The tv speakers were of better quality. The pricetag is very overpriced.

Needed sound and Netflix. Perfect fit. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound quality and volume. It really does feel like surround sound. Found easy to use as well. If I find something on my phone it takes very little time for it to be on the tv.

Once I had a "Chat" with an LG representative and found out why the system was constantly cutting-out, it has been wonderful. As it turned out, the person who hooked it up for me had no idea what he was doing so that is what was causing the problems. Once I had one of your technicians explain things to me, it is working wonderfully, and the sound it incredible.

I bought this for my wife for Christmas as a stocking stuffer for her TV in the kitchen. I was surprised at the ease of installation and the web features that it offers. LG could improve on its app offerings. Overall a GREAT VALUE for the $$ spent. Get one for yourself !!!!!

I got this to pair with my new LG 55" UHD 4K Smart LED TV. The Sound Bar was easy to set up and I don't have any problems with the bluetooth connectivity to the wireless subwoofer sitting four feet away. Since my TV already has all the Smart functions, I don't have a need to access them on the sound bar, but they're there. You have to connect the sound bar to the TV via HDMI to access any of the setup or smart features. The input from the TV can be either HDMI or Digital Audio Optical (toslink). However, the sound bar "auto on" function will only work if connected via the Digital Audio Optical connection. One really cool function is the sound bar will connect wireless to our iPhones/iPads to play music. I am a bit annoyed that it does not fit under the LG TV as it sits on the stand. I have it sitting just behind the TV.

If it worked the way it is supposed to it would be a great product, but it doesn't. You can't hear dvd movies through the sound bar at all. Only when you are watching the tv. I hooked it up and have gone over the whole thing half a dozen times, but it doesn't work as advertised. It is supposed to have free months of netflix, hulu and a couple more programs, but it doesn't when hooked up. I scrolled thru all of the settup. Not there. I am very disappointed. For the cost of this product it shouldn't have any of these issues.

ADDS TO QUALITY OF SOUND, MAKING TV MORE ENJOYABLE.HOWEVER, HAVING TO USE TWO REMOTES, CABLE REMOTE FOR TV AND CABLE BOX, AND SOUND BAR REMOTE FOR SOUND BAR IS NOT THE BEST SITUATION. THEREFORE, IT IS NOT EASY TO USE!!!

This is a very nice smart soundbar. It's easy to set up and sounds great. Like the different sound effects for music, bass, loudness or even your own EQ. I have it connected to my LG LED TV and it works perfectly. Love the smart features of connecting with netflix, youtube, huluplus, cinemanow, etc as well as the 4.1ch multi surround sound with wireless subwoofer. Can also connect by bluetooth from my LG G2 phone. I would definitely recommend this soundbar to anyone. Thanks LG. Life IS Good!!

Sound is above average though no match for a good 5.1 system. The simplicity of the sound bar is a plus. Connection is via optical and apps are visible via HDMI. Bluetooth is flawless. It is a good all around performance for a versatile sound bar.

I got this as a wedding gift and the level and quality of sound is unreal. I have tried different sound bars before but this one is by far the best one I have ever had.

In this soundbar system both the bar and the subwoofer plug into ac power and have there own amplifiers. This makes a huge difference in sound quality and the bass really hits you where you feel it. The detail, clarity, and sound separation are superior at all volume levels and it provides a great selection of different sound modes that you can really tell the difference between. I was truly impressed with this units sound quality at lower volume levels, which I have found lacking in previous soundbars I have owned. It also has the easiest set-up I've experienced. This units a keeper!
