LG and Teac list very different products in this category. LG's listings include the Sound Suite range with Dolby Atmos FlexConnect: the M5 wireless speaker at £249, the M7 wireless speaker at £379 and the W7 wireless subwoofer at £599. Teac offers turntables: the TN-180BT-A3 semi-automatic turntable in black at £194, and the TN-280BT-A3 Bluetooth manual turntable in black or walnut at £319.

LG's Sound Suite is a wireless home cinema system for compatible LG TVs, using Dolby Atmos FlexConnect to create immersive surround sound with flexible speaker placement and the W7 adding deep bass. Teac, a Japanese hi-fi brand, makes turntables for vinyl lovers. The TN-180BT is semi-automatic, returning the tonearm at the end of a record, while the TN-280BT is a manual turntable with a higher-grade build and a walnut finish option. Both offer Bluetooth, so they can stream vinyl wirelessly to compatible speakers or headphones, as well as connecting to a traditional amplifier.

These products serve different needs. Buyers wanting immersive TV, film and gaming sound with an LG TV should look at the Sound Suite, with the M5 as the entry point. Vinyl enthusiasts should choose Teac's turntables, with the TN-180BT offering good value and the TN-280BT appealing to those who want a more refined player and a stylish walnut finish. Check Bluetooth compatibility if you plan to stream a Teac turntable to wireless speakers.

Bottom line: choose LG if you want wireless Dolby Atmos speakers for an LG TV, with the Sound Suite M5 at £249 or the M7 at £379. Opt for Teac if you want a Bluetooth turntable, with the TN-180BT at £194 or the walnut TN-280BT at £319.
