l would like to share my experience after comparing and testing two soundbars – LG S90QY vs Klipsch Cinema 400. The LG S90QY was rated 8, 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 S90QY has 5.1.3 and Cinema 400 has 2.1. These rivals can be compared in terms of power, 440 (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 S90QY via wireless, but Cinema 400 has wired connection type. Rate 8 out of 10 received the LG S90QY for audio features and specs, but the Klipsch Cinema 400 received 5 out of 10.
The S90QY can play audio from Spotify.
Wireless Internet connection is realized only in the S90QY. Soundbars from this comparison have Bluetooth support. There are 1/1 HDMI inputs/outputs in the LG S90QY versus 1/0 HDMIs in the Klipsch Cinema 400. As in the S90QY, so in the Cinema 400 there is the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC). The connectivity of each of the models was estimated at 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 S90QY. The S90QY can work with surround sound due to DTS:X support. The S90QY was rated 10/10, while the Cinema 400 received a mark of 6/10 for multichannel surround.
