LG wireless speakers
I was overjoyed when I found these for sale. I couldn't wait for them to arrive. I was very disappointed quickly. I bought them to pair to my LG soundbar and subwoofer. It was a nightmare to set-up. The software wouldn't download properly, 3 re-installs. No current software updates, once I had them synced for about 15 minute but playback was out of sync. between the 2 speakers and my sounbar, my apartment was like a big echo chamber. After a week I gave up. Then I had to pay for return shipping as seller refused even to split the cost. That was another Fifty bucks wasted in order to only recoup 2/3 of my reimbursement. Very bad experience. Too bad to, they looked great. Going back to retro vintage analog equipment. Best sound I ever heard was back in the day, I miss my old Fisher Studio Series component system. These LG wireless components plain suck.

For the Price, it sucks that speakers keep losing connection with the LG Music Flow app.
I like the speakers when they work... I purchased two of these speakers to pair with my LG sound bar. After taking 30mins to get them added to the LG Music Flow application I was happy with the added sound. The bad part is every time I decide to use them I have to re-pair them with the LG app and I have no idea why they keep losing connected with the application. I don't have this issue with the two LG sound bars only these H3 speakers which really sucks. There have been several updates for the speakers but none of the have fixed this issue. The speakers a costly and i expected much more from LG...

or worse, echoing the sound bar
I bought this with the latest LG soundbar to mate with my LG TV. The system frequently loses connection and has to be re synced. H3 speakers don't always sync with the sound bar correctly, resulting in sound cutting in and out, or worse, echoing the sound bar. Sets up easily and when it works it is great. Unfortunately it only works about 25% of the time.I haven't used the speakers to stream music as I bought the system to run surround sound. LG missed the mark badly with this product. I keep hoping for a firmware update as it seems to be a software issue but so far, no good.

Doesn't meet expectations for the price point.
I'm having to sell them on Craigslist now, as they keep complaining about network speed - even after buying a new router!Additionally there is no Airplay support, instead you have to use the awful Music Flow app - and therefore can't stream from games or youtube.

If you want Google Cast streaming, then start here
Just received this a few days ago. The sound is very rich and fills up our kitchen. I bought this speaker specifically for the Google Cast capabilities. So far Google Cast is working just as I would expect it too. I've ben using Google Play Music, TuneIn (for live radio), and NPR One. I recommend you go to http://www.google.com/cast/apps/ and make sure that enough of the apps you want to use are listed. Google Cast is why I didn't go the Sonos route. Looks like you'll need the R1 bridge to set up a whole house and I don't see this listed on Amazon yet. I'm expecting it just hasn't been released in the US yet.

Audio choppy, delayed, distorted and wireless connectivity stopped working after a couple of months.
Bought two of these on July 20, 2016. I got two of them to use with an LG soundbar as the rear surround channels. I didn't have any problems with set up, but the sound frequently drops out. My wireless signal is good, but the audio from these is often choppy, distorted, or echoes (up to a second behind) the audio from the soundbar.Yesterday, one of the speakers stopped being able to connect with my wireless router. I ave reset it and followed all of the other troubleshooting suggestions from LG, but no dice. I have to send it it in. All told, it sounds like it might take 4 - 5 weeks to get it back. Definitely not good service.

I love it. Only four stars because set up was such a pain. I used every smartphone in my house to set up and it just wouldn't work. After I given up I used my iPad and it FINALLY WORKED!!!!. Chromecast is awesome a must have, and sound it very decent for the size and price.

Constantly disconnects from my LG Sh7b sound bar, no matter how close I put them together. Im now wondering if I should wire them manually or just drop using them as surround sound speakers. Kinda defeats the purpose of "wireless" back speakers.

It seems like LG has stopped supporting musicflow
It seems like LG has stopped supporting musicflow. Some audio drops out when using with LG SH7B soundbar in surround mode.[...]

Good quality sound, but Google Cast implementation is unpolished
Sound quality is quite good. Initial setup was much harder than it should have been. Ended up needing to hardwire each speaker via Ethernet to update them in order to be able to pair them wirelessly. Google Cast implementation is pretty good, but casting device frequently loses the ability to control music, causing the need to switch the speaker to Bluetooth mode to stop the music from playing. Often need to actually start the music playing on the casting device first before initiating the Google Cast, otherwise speaker will continue playing the previous playlist no matter what the casting device says is playing.
