Small size - Great sound

I received the LG QP5 3.1.2 channel Éclair Sound Bar at a discount in exchange for my honest review. In the box was the soundbar, sub, plug for each, HDMI cable and the remote control. Everything including the instructions was very easy and straightforward. Pairing the sub to the soundbar was a breeze! One step of turning on the soundbar after the sub was plugged in and voila: connection successful! Out of the box, I was extremely pleased already with this soundbar. The sound fills the room, and the sub provides a decent punch. It is a huge step up from the tin can sound I used to have in the room.
The soundbar sits right at the base of the television stand and looks as if it was built in. Currently in my setup, the subwoofer sits to the left of the TV so that the bass can protrude into the room. With the crisp quality of the two in sync with one another, you would believe that they were connected by wires and not by Bluetooth. I hooked the HDMI cable from the back of my cable box to the HDMI in on the soundbar and then another HDMI cable from HDMI out on the soundbar into the HDMI 1 connector on the TV. I chose this connection over the optical as it is stated to be a better connection. The soundbar has both depending on your own personal setup. The soundbar also has a Bluetooth setting for wireless streaming and a USB input for utilizing a storage device.
There are four modes to choose between for sound presets: AI Sound Pro, Standard, Cinema, and Game. I tested these by watching different channels to take advantage of each of the settings. AI Sound Pro was the best when watching normal TV stations as it automatically adjusted the sound based on the content. When playing a movie, I switched to Cinema mode and the sound became more immersive, especially during an action scene. Very impressed with the quality and the bass during the action scenes. When switching to audio and listening to Bluetooth from my phone, the AI Sound Pro setting was by far the best and impressive for such a small soundbar.
Using the remote was straightforward as well. There is a button for input so that you can easily switch between HDMI, Bluetooth, optical, or USB. There are also 4 buttons for easy access to switch between modes as well such as Cinema or AI Sound Pro. I wasn’t sure what to expect with such a small soundbar but was super. I would recommend the LG QP5 3.1.2 channel Éclair Sound Bar if you are in the market for a good soundbar at a great price!
