SoundBar recommendations

[Acid Panda]

recently purchased a LG c1 tv and whilst the sound on the tv is 'fine'. I would like better really, do you have any suggestions for a sound bar or sound system for ~£500 max. willing to a surround set up but ease of setup and quality is main focus.

 

Room is rectangular, tv is in corner on a stand so not wall mounted and will not consider a wall mount. (hope this detail helps, let me know if you want more more information)

Had an older Samsung AirTrack and it made all the difference with the Vizio TV's really weird sound balancing (inaudible voice, deafening music)

I’d avoid Samsung, we have one and didn’t realise that if you don’t have a Samsung TV they make everything awkward

Like, "uwu Senpai" kind of akward?

Well if you're looking for cheap/easy, then ATMOS soundbar is probably the best you can get.  But anything ATMOS is going to START at $500 for any decent quality.

Hey, would you care to elaborate? I never had a problem with ours, apart from the documentation being basically useless at explains the hidden settings.

Just a lack of features that you’d expect like passthrough. Parents have recently moved from a Samsung TV to a Sony with a Samsung soundbar and have had so many issues
