Directly compared the Sony HT-CT390 (BestBuy open box for $129.99) and this LG SH3K (BestBuy $125 after Visa Checkout) and with two TV's in two separate bedrooms did independent tests to compare the two and found the Sony to have several key advantages. The advantage of the LG was slightly louder and larger oomph from the bass. Advantages for the Sony were: 1. More clear audio, sharper details, tested with 300, The office, music 2. HDMI (ARC) so higher quality connection and ability to control with existing TV remote 3. Longer Bluetooth Range, and remote can actually control the Bluetooth device (phone) unlike LG 4. Slimmer so can sit down in front of TV, without blocking screen or wall mountable 5. LED display so you can see volume level 6. LG has just Standard, Movie; Music. Sony has those plus additional modes of clear voice, sports, and Game, plus night mode 7. Better wall mounting brackets 8. NFC 9. USB input, plus the ability to see the data on the LED display
I returned the LG and kept the Sony and couldn't be happier. Nothing too bad about the LG but especially for a similar price i'd choose the Sony hands down.
This Sony soundbar with Bluetooth creates a cinematic surround-sound audio experience using wireless streaming and NFC one-touch connectivity for convenience.
