It also offers support for 4K Sound (Hi-Res audio) meaning you can play lossless audio files to simulate a studio-like experience. Besides, the SJ9 has a special feature called ‘Sound Upconverting' to upscale the quality of audio files to 24bit/192Hz. It also offers support for 4K Pass-Through for a "synchronized audio and video experience."

Other features such as 4K Sound, 4K Pass-Through, built-in Chromecast support are same as the SJ9 soundbar. Moreover, the slim profile of the SJ8 is nothing but icing on the cake.

SJ7 Soundbar

Last among the soundbar series, the SJ7 is a versatile and powerful (320W) soundbar with a split design. Meaning the bar can be split into two halves and can be placed in whichever the position the user pleases (horizontal or vertical). One of the two halves has a built-in battery and Bluetooth which allows it to use the sound bar as a portable Bluetooth speaker as well.

It also has a Party Thruster that allows DJ to correctly time the bass drop and lighting effects.

It also has a feature called Karaoke Star which renders different vocal effects.

LOUDR OJ98

The LOUDR OJ98 is yet another speaker that is part of the audio gear lineup. The speaker system makes use of a folded horn design "hidden inside its chassis to efficiently produce acoustic pressure." It's Sparkle Lighting feature allows light to reflect in sync with the music to add life to any party. Speaking of which, the speaker system also features a Party Kick Starter feature to kick start any part with the sound of a revving race car engine.

LG FJ7 Portable Loudspeaker

If portability is your concern more than anything else. LG has something for you. The LG FJ7 is a portable loudspeaker with high output sound (400W). What's interesting is the fact that this speaker has "convenient handles and wheels" which will make it comfortable to carry it wherever you go.
