Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently purchased the Samsung HW-S700D soundbar from Best Buy, and it has completely transformed my home audio experience. From unboxing to setup, everything about this product has exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is absolutely phenomenal. The HW-S700D delivers rich, clear audio with deep bass that makes movies, music, and gaming immersive and enjoyable. The Dolby Atmos support creates an impressive surround sound experience that rivals being in a theater. It’s hard to believe this level of performance comes from such a compact device! Design-wise, it’s sleek and minimalistic, fitting perfectly with my living room setup. The build quality feels premium, and the subtle design complements any decor. It’s also incredibly easy to set up—just plug it in, connect via Bluetooth or HDMI, and you’re good to go. Samsung’s SmartThings integration is a nice bonus, allowing seamless control of the soundbar through my phone. It syncs flawlessly with my Samsung TV, and the Adaptive Sound feature ensures the audio adjusts perfectly depending on what I’m watching. If you’re in the market for a soundbar that combines cutting-edge technology, exceptional sound quality, and a beautiful design, the Samsung HW-S700D is worth every penny. Highly recommend purchasing from Best Buy—they made the process smooth and hassle-free.

Got this to match a Samsung frame TV to complete my desired look of a modern, simplistic yet functional family room. The sleek and discrete design fits really well. The sound quality is not as loud as my samsung atmos in the media room, but this is perfect for my needs. Loud enough to help boost the built in speakers of the TV.

Asthetically very pleasing. Sound quality is average at best. I have paired it with the 65" The Frame tv and was expecting that the Q-Symphony would be an improvement in sound, it's barely noticeable, and will shift out of phase after a few minutes so there's an echo. Not worth the price if you're after sound quality. Definitely worth the price if you're after the look. The mounting hardware is GARBAGE! I recommend getting some toggle bolts unless you're installing in masonry, which seems to be the only way the provided hardware would be effective. The brackets attach to the wall via two screws that are far too close together for regular dry wall, you will blow out that section. The instructions recommend mounting brackets to studs except the two brackets are not 16" or 24"oc. So you'd be lucky to get one to line up with a stud and still get the sound bar line up with the center of your TV. Last thing is the way the soundbar attaches to the mounted brackets. If you're good at math and can use a tape measure it's not an issue. But there's a horizontal movement and then a lateral movement to lock in the sound bar, both about an inch. So if not installed properly you're soundbar will be an inch too low and an inch too far off center.

Small soundbar that packs a punch! This is my first soundbar but I absolutely love it. The sound is smooth, I paired it with a Sony Bravia tv because I love the aesthetic of it, I mounted it underneath the tv and it’s so sleek! I didn’t want to have some large soundbar that was an eyesore, and this did the trick!! Really impressed! Came with a sub woofer too that you can Bluetooth connect. You can also Bluetooth connect to the soundbar to listen to music at the house!

I was not sure l really needed a new soundbar when l purchased my new Samsung S90CD Television. I had a older soundbar that sounded good. After a week l decided a TV this outstanding needed better sound. This soundbar with Q-Symphony was really worth it. It was very easy to set up and didn't take long to dial in great sound. Thanks Samsung !!!

This is my second samsung sound bar and the ease of installation and sound qualty are top notch. We purchased to go with our new 70" tv love the slim bar design with big sound output

Very good sound quality don't know how I can live without it. Definitely thinking about buying another for other rooms

Great sound from such a small system. It can get really loud when needed. Great recommendation Kalob you rock.

I love it highly recommend perfect size easy use for kid

Nice size. Woffer is not as powerful as I expected. Overall sound is good and easy to install

This little soundbar pumps out clean, clear, powerful sonics! We were purchasing a Frame TV and the sales rep, Alex, suggested/demoed it. My wife immediately said “yes!”. I would have chosen a more expensive one, however, this one cranks clean and loud, and it’s awesome! Just buy it!

Love how slim and sleek looking the sound bar is. The sound quality of this sound system is excellent. I highly recommend this product!

Sounds so good, would recommend it to everyone, the sound quality is amazing

Very sleek design and the Q Symphony is amazing. Would recommend a compatible Samsung TV to go with it.

Best You Can Buy Good,Clarity,Sound To Picture With High Def Qaulity

Really nice sound bar pretty simple to hook up I like it

The best sound. Love it Nice sound , clear

I'm a little disappointed in the soundbar. The Q Symphony is a little muffled, plus the volume goes down every time I use this setting. I have tried to adjust the sound setting many times, but I think it's the best it can be. I actually prefer my old Bose system.

OVERALL ASSESSMENT: The Samsung HW-S700D soundbar has a very small physical footprint, that can provide a very large and loud soundstage, which somehow defies its diminutive size. Paired with the supplied subwoofer, the overall immersive 3.1 audio experience exceeds my expectations. If you are in the market for a smaller soundbar with sub, that will excel at center-channel vocals providing crystal clear voices that are not overpowered by a movie’s special effects, then this could be just what you are look for. CENTER CHANNEL CLARITY: I have three other soundbars throughout my home, all with center channels and include some level of vocal enhancement. But this HW-S700D is the only one that I can control the actual volume of the center channel. Used in conjunction with Samsung’s “Adaptive Sound” that optimizes audio, along with the AVA (Active Voice Analyzer) technology, I never once asked my wife “what did they just say?”. Very impressive indeed. Recognize that configuring for enhanced vocals during movies, will not provide a balanced output when streaming musical content. DOLBY ATMOS: This soundbar does not have top firing speakers associated with Dolby Atmos. It was odd to me that this model is marketed as a 3.1. channel system, meaning no dedicated Dolby ATMOS top-firing speakers, then state “Wireless Dolby ATMOS Soundbar…”. After corresponding with Samsung, I was informed “Some Samsung soundbars, like the HW-S700D, use a special Dolby Atmos codec to provide a virtual 3D audio experience.” Therefore, it appears Dolby Atmos is simulated through the array of front firing soundbar speakers. (Sort-of like when some soundbars simulate rear channel information without actually having rear speakers.) Note that the HW-S800D system does have multiple Dolby Atmos top firing speakers and may be a better option if you want a more traditional Doby Atmos immersive experience. AUDIO FORMATS: This soundbar is advertised supporting “Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS Virtual:X, and Surround Sound”. But I can’t help from wondering, since the ATMOS is confirmed “virtual”, are any of these other supported audio formats also “virtual”? Hmmmmm… GAME MODE PRO: I assume the advertised list of features stating “Powerful up firing speakers” is in error. Since there are no up-firing speakers on this soundbar. Maybe, this is another “virtual” effect? REAR SURROUND OPTION: Although I am not requiring a 5.1 surround sound configuration with rear speakers today, I may in the future; I like to keep options open. Anyway, another question sent to Samsung and they quicky responded “The HW-S700D Soundbar is compatible with the SWA-9200S Rear Speaker Kit.“ Good to know in advance. Q-SYMPHONY: I do not currently own one of the newer Samsung models with Q-Symphony. Again, keeping options open, I really like the idea of being able to pair with the same brand HDTV wirelessly and controlling with the HDTV’s remote. INPUT PORTS: There is only one HDMI e-ARC input port. Therefore, you cannot use this soundbar as an HDMI switch. No optical, no RCA, no 3.5mm phone input jacks. I assume this is due to the reduced physical size where there is zero room to include an assortment of additional ports. Now there are Bluetooth capabilities if you wish to pair with your phone or tablet for streaming music. Is the lack of ports an issue for me? Not at all for the room and setup I currently use. SERVICE PORT: Appears this port is used for only Firmware upgrades. Looks like a USB Micro-B port, but in the confined area, it is very difficult to determine and verify. And there is zero Samsung information currently available on the actual port type. Without exact specifications from Samsung, I am just guessing. Plus, since I have never seen a USB Micro-B Flash drive, I will not be able to upgrade the firmware through this port, if that is what it is. Therefore, I guess you’ll need to pair with a Bluetooth device to update firmware; something I did not attempt. REMOTE CONTROL: I wish there was detailed information, available in PDF format, that explains each of the button functions on this remote. After 30 minutes of trial-and-error, I believe I figured out all of the capabilities of this remote’s functions. This soundbar model may be so new, that complete documentation will be available in the future. SOUNDBAR LIGHTS: The soundbar user feedback information, provided by way of its lights, leaves a lot to be desired. Very small LED dots, in various sequences and colors, will flash when using the remote. I was at a total loss trying to determine the center point for adjusting the treble and bass. Appears to be 12 or more steps/degrees of control. And adjusting up or down only flashes all of the LED dots either left-to-right, or right-to-left. Now the soundbar does provide audio acknowledgements when turning on/off specific features, so that’s a plus and very helpful. RATING: The Samsung HW-S700D earned itself a solid 4-Star Rating, for being able to provide a smaller sized soundbar, with an extraordinary 3.1 immersive audio experience. Lack of documentation, hard to understand LED feedback, and “virtual” ATMOS kept it from earning itself a 5-Start Rating.

Samsung HW-S700D Slim Soundbar with Q-Symphony is a perfect match for my Samsung television that also has Q-Symphony! In the box you will receive- the soundbar, subwoofer, remote, HDMI cable, and a wall mount kit. The slim sound bar measures 1.5 inches H x 1.6" deep and 35" wide. The subwoofer is 8.1" x 13.9" x 11.9". The amplifer output power is 90W. The Samsung Slim Soundbar was very easy to set-up. I used the included HDMI cable to connect it to my Samsung TV. It can also be connected to a TV, PC, or Cell phone wirelessly. The Samsung Slim Soundbar can also be used with Alexa, Google Home, Apple Air Play, and has Chromecast built in. As soon as I turned it on the TV and Samsung Slim soundbar it was connected instantly using Q-Symphony. There are several sound modes to choose when using your sound bar. Surround Sound expansion, Game Pro, Standard, Adaptive Sound DTS Virtual X. Surround Sound being my favorite. What I also love about this soundbar is that it adapts and analyzes your home then automatically gives you the best sound for your space. Highly recommend.
