The LG S77S 3.1.3 is a soundbar with a total RMS power of 400W. It features Dolby Atmos decode and WOW Orchestra technology, which enhances the sound experience when paired with a compatible LG TV.

The soundbar consists of nine speakers, including a subwoofer. The speakers include left and right front-firing speakers, a center front-firing speaker, and up-firing speakers. The subwoofer is a 7″ 220W speaker that enhances the low-frequency performance of the soundbar.

Despite the 400W power, the LG S77S is not significantly louder than other typical soundbars. It can decode Dolby Atmos’s 128 sound channel metadata and downmix it to the soundbar’s capabilities. However, it is recognized as a 3.1.2 soundbar due to the lack of a center up-firing channel.

Virtual all-in-one soundbars like the LG S77S rely on psychoacoustics to create a spatial effect by bouncing sound off adjacent walls and ceilings. They do not have dedicated side-firing or up-firing surround speakers like higher-end systems.

The WOW Orchestra technology in the LG S77S utilizes the compatible LG TV speakers to widen the sound stage and fill out the sound signature. However, it does not transform the soundbar into a full 5.1.3 or 7.1.3 system.

The soundbar can be controlled via the included remote control or the LG Soundbar App. It supports various audio formats, including Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround, and PCM. The LG S77S also offers different sound pre-sets, such as AI SOUND PRO, CINEMA, and MUSIC.

In terms of connectivity, the soundbar features HDMI ARC/eARC, Optical In, and Bluetooth 5.1. It does not have Wi-Fi capabilities, limiting its multi-room speaker and voice assistant support.

Overall, the LG S77S 3.1.3 soundbar offers a good sound experience with its Dolby Atmos decode and WOW Orchestra technology. It is compatible with various LG TVs and provides convenient control options. However, it lacks certain features like room tuning and Wi-Fi support. Its retail price is 9.
