Summary
A 3.1-channel soundbar with a dedicated center channel and a bundled wireless subwoofer, rated by LG at 340 W, aimed at LG TV owners who want clearer dialogue. Check your TV and ports first: there is no Dolby Atmos, no HDMI input, and the WOW features need a compatible LG TV.
Strengths
- A dedicated center channel lifts dialogue above what a stereo bar or bare TV speakers manage.
- The subwoofer is truly wireless, so it can sit where the bass sounds best.
- On a compatible LG TV, WOW Orchestra adds the TV’s own speakers and one remote runs both.
- Setup is quick: power the bar and sub, connect optical or HDMI, and the sub links by itself.
- The included remote is well labelled and, in one owner’s words, neither too small nor bulky.
Weaknesses
- No Dolby Atmos and no DTS:X; LG’s spec sheet lists only Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround and PCM.
- There is no HDMI input, so a console or Blu-ray player cannot pass through the bar.
- LG publishes no frequency response or maximum SPL, and no credible independent lab test exists.
- Owner evidence is thin: one detailed account plus affiliate and AI-written pages.
- The WOW features need a compatible LG TV; on another brand they do nothing.
- Wall-mount screws and plugs are not included.

Full research notes and sources
Sound and formats
The S60T decodes Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround and PCM, and LG’s Australian spec sheet adds AAC, though the US manual does not list it. There is no Dolby Atmos and no DTS:X, so treat this as a dialogue and TV-audio bar rather than an immersive one. The 340 W total is LG’s own output-power figure and has not been measured on a test bench; LG publishes no frequency response or maximum SPL for the bar or the subwoofer.
LG TV features
WOW Orchestra runs the TV’s own speakers alongside the bar, and WOW Interface lets a single TV remote control both. Both need a compatible LG TV. On another brand you lose them and are left with a conventional 3.1 bar fed over optical, HDMI ARC, USB or Bluetooth.
Owner reports and reliability
Owner evidence is thin. One detailed account describes secure packaging, an easy setup, a wireless subwoofer that can be repositioned, a clear step up from TV speakers and a well-labelled remote; that owner recommends the product. The same owner lost the TV connection when the TV sat idle and fixed it by unplugging and replugging the optical cable; it happened twice but was not a deal breaker. That is one person, not a failure rate. A separate page that mentions possible wireless-subwoofer connection trouble is openly AI-written and not based on hands-on use, so it carries no weight.
Running costs and upkeep
There are no consumables and no subscription. A single optical cable is included; wall-mount screws and plugs are not, and LG points to Hilti HUD-1 6 × 30 fixings. Cleaning is a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent; skip alcohol, benzine, thinner and abrasive cleaners. Keep the subwoofer in line of sight and at least 3.3 ft (1 m) from routers and microwaves. If the sub’s LED stays red or blinks green it is not linked; switch on the sub, then the bar, or hold the PAIRING button on the back of the subwoofer. LG runs a US service-parts channel and manual download page for the model, and the US warranty covers one year of labor and parts.
Is it worth it?
At LG’s reference price of $249.99, the S60T sits in the crowded budget 3.1 tier, and what you pay for is the LG ecosystem and the bundled subwoofer rather than measured performance, because there is no Atmos, no HDMI input and no independent test data. Treat a sale price meaningfully below $200 as the point where a 340 W, 3.1, no-Atmos bar with a wireless sub becomes reasonable, especially for an LG-TV household. Near $250 it meets bars that add Atmos or a second HDMI port.
Which model this is
This page covers the LG S60T, a 2024 3.1-channel bar with a wireless subwoofer, sold in the US as the S60T with the US support variant S60T.AUSALLK. Do not confuse it with the LG S60TR, a 5.1-channel system with rear speakers, or the Samsung HW-S60T, an unrelated all-in-one bar that appears in the same search results. The soundbar’s Bluetooth name is “LG S60T(XX)”.
