Our Verdict
LG SN11RG
LG SP11RA
The LG SP11RA is a marginally better soundbar than the LG SN11RG. The SP11RA gets louder with less compression at max volume, and it supports Apple AirPlay connectivity. It also comes with more EQ presets. While the SN11RG has built-in voice assistant support, the SP11RA only supports voice assistants through a third-party device.
