JBL Cinema SB580
Score: 83/100Rankings
The LG S95QR is a premium 9.1.5-channel system with 810 W total power, wireless subwoofer and rear speakers, offering an immersive Dolby Atmos experience and advanced gaming features. Its large size, bulky subwoofer and absence of Ethernet may be drawbacks for compact spaces or users needing wired networking. Ideal for home-theater enthusiasts with larger rooms and a desire for wireless flexibility.
The JBL Cinema SB580 is a low-profile 3.1-channel soundbar with strong 440 W RMS output and virtual Dolby Atmos. Its compact height and wireless subwoofer come at the cost of lacking true surround speakers for larger spaces. Best suited for small-to-medium rooms where space is limited.

Professional reviewers commend the LG S95QR for its expansive 9.1.5 channel layout, high 810 W output and AI-driven room calibration, noting that the wireless rear speakers and height drivers create a truly immersive Atmos experience. They also appreciate the gaming-focused features such as ALLM and VRR passthrough. The main criticism from experts is the lack of a wired Ethernet connection, which could limit network stability for some installations.
Everyday users consistently praise the system's easy wireless setup, powerful bass from the subwoofer, and the cinematic Atmos soundstage that brings movies and games to life. Recurring concerns focus on the subwoofer's size, the need for power cords for the rear speakers, and the overall large footprint of the soundbar, which can be a challenge in tighter living spaces.
Professional reviewers, such as Guru3D, commend the SB580 for its accurate spatial imaging delivered by the Virtual Dolby Atmos engine, its ultra-slim form factor that blends seamlessly with TVs, and its comprehensive connectivity options. The high power output and broad frequency range are also highlighted as delivering a cinema-like experience in a compact package.
