LG sticks to the curve: a new curved sound bar with Google Cast support

LG curved TV? Check. LG curved smartphone? Check. LG curved sound bar? Check!

If you’re looking for a great sounding, curved sound bar to go with your curved TV, then you’re in luck! LG just announced a new sound bar in its line of Music Flow speakers that not only has the curved part down, but also allows you to cast to it via Google Cast from your smartphone.

Music Flow HS8 Wireless Curved Sound Bar will be released in Europe next week and features something uncommon among sound bars: Google Cast support. So instead of needing to cast to your TV — then directing the audio to the sound bar — you can cut out the middle-man and pipe music directly to your speaker system.

The HS8’s specifications are as follows:

• 360W, 4.1 channel speaker system
• 1200mm x 43mm x 82mm
• Wall-mountable
• WiFi support
• Bluetooth support
• Tweeters at both ends of the sound bar
• (Again) Google Cast support
• Dynamic i-Sound system (this adjusts the sound settings for optimal playback of audio content)
• Multi-Room Mode (with WiFi and Bluetooth, you can connect all of your Music Flow speakers together)
• Advanced Home Cinema Mode (same as Multi-Room Mode, but in the same room to create a nice, surround sound experience)

LG did not state what the pricing would be or when the sound bar could be purchased outside of Europe.

You can check out the LG Music Flow HS8 at the LG booth during IFA 2015, which is September 4th through the 9th. Check TalkAndroid.com during that time for some of our coverage of that event.
