LG SP7R
vs
Samsung HW-S50A

l would like to share my experience after comparing and testing two soundbars – LG SP7R vs Samsung HW-S50A. The LG SP7R was rated 5, while the Samsung HW-S50A has a rating 4.8. Soundbars have the same set of buttons - power, source, demo, volume down, volume up.

Audio features

Each of the models under consideration has active amplification type. A noticeable difference is the number of channels that SP7R has 7.1 and HW-S50A has 3.0. These rivals can be compared in terms of power, 580 (overall) versus 40 (overall) according to devices. The built-in subwoofer is not implemented in any of these models. An external subwoofer can be connected to any of the units in this comparison. Rate 8 out of 10 received the LG SP7R for audio features and specs, but the Samsung HW-S50A received 6 out of 10.

As in the SP7R, so in the HW-S50A there is the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC). We rated the connectivity of the SP7R at 7 out of 10, while the HW-S50A 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.

Multichannel surround

Dolby Atmos audio decoder support is not implemented in either the SP7R or HW-S50A. Devices from this comparison cannot process surround sound due to lack of DTS:X. The same score of 6/10 was put to the soundbars for multichannel surround support.
