Adventures in AV: LG Sound Suite didn't hit the sonic mark, but we're really impressed by its headlining feature

The LG Sound Suite H7 soundbar, M7 wireless speaker, and W7 subwoofer in a modern concrete-style room with a textured rug on the ground.

We just finished testing LG's latest flagship Dolby Atmos soundbar and, if you've read our full reviews for the Sound Suite H7 and the Sound Suite system, you'll know that despite a few redeeming features, we ultimately found both products' performance to be a let-down.The hard, shouty and sibilant sound unfortunately overshadowed the expansive, powerful and detailed qualities of the soundbar and system, which wasn't the outcome we were hoping for. That being said, there are some positive aspects that we mentioned in our full review, and there's one I'd like to focus on as it stood out as a highlight that other soundbars simply can't match.In our full review of the Sound Suite H7, we stated that "we have to give the H7 kudos for being the first FlexConnect-enabled soundbar on the market", and this is where the H7 stands out among the competition. Dolby Atmos FlexConnect is a long-fabled feature which has been bubbling in the background for a few years now, and it's finally entered the soundbar market with the LG Sound Suite H7, alongside the M5 and M7 Dolby Atmos wi-fi speakers.
