Having lived with the LG OLED C3 TV for a full month, it came time to review the LG USC9S: a soundbar so distinctly designed for that specific TV (and the older C2 OLED) that, well, I'd forgotten that it comes with its own stand in the box to perfectly bring together TV and soundbar into one distinct unit (note: not as pictured). There's a separate subwoofer included for beefy bass too.
That design aspect is one clear reason to consider this soundbar, especially as the LG OLED C3's standard audio output is underwhelming. Add features such as AI Sound Pro to make best of the USC9S's triple upfiring speaker arrangement (it's compatible with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and IMAX Enhanced object-based audio) and WOW Orchestra to integrate both (LG-only) TV and soundbar speakers and this is one veritable LG audio fest.
