l would like to share my experience after comparing and testing two soundbars – LG S75QR vs Klipsch Cinema 400. The LG S75QR was rated 5.5, while the Klipsch Cinema 400 has a rating 4.6.
Each of the models under consideration has active amplification type. A noticeable difference is the number of channels that S75QR has 5.1.2 and Cinema 400 has 2.1. These rivals can be compared in terms of power, 450 (overall) versus 400 (overall) according to devices. The built-in subwoofer is not implemented in any of these models. An external subwoofer connects to the S75QR via wireless, but Cinema 400 has wired connection type. Rate 8 out of 10 received the LG S75QR for audio features and specs, but the Klipsch Cinema 400 received 5 out of 10.
Soundbars do not have AirPlay support. The units in this comparison do not support Spotify.
Both models do not have a wireless Wi-Fi interface. Soundbars from this comparison have Bluetooth support. There are 1/1 HDMI inputs/outputs in the LG S75QR versus 1/0 HDMIs in the Klipsch Cinema 400. As in the S75QR, so in the Cinema 400 there is the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC). We rated the connectivity of the S75QR at 7 out of 10, while the Cinema 400 was rated 8/10.
None of these soundbars can be controlled using the app. Soundbars in this review are not equipped with a microphone. The models under consideration cannot become part of a multiroom system.
Dolby Atmos audio decoder is onboard the S75QR. The S75QR can work with surround sound due to DTS:X support. The same score of 6/10 was put to the soundbars for multichannel surround support.
