4 Series 500W 5.1-Ch. 3D / Smart Blu-ray Home Theater System

I Bought it at a great price, has a great sound, "Please Don't Forget It Is Not Wireless You Will Have To Hook Your Router Up To It To Make It Smart" Otherwise Worth It, just make sure you do all your research and read all the reviews

Great sound. Surround sound is just like being at the movies but in the comfort of your own home

I was struggling with the choice of getting one of these Home Theater Systems in a Box, or buying everything separate. I have a soundbar that has been more than satisfactory for a couple years, and so I was leaning towards buying everything separate. When looking online, I was thinking "How big of a difference can this thing and it's little speakers even make??" I have a PS4 that plays blurays, so I don't need that. Well I get to best buy and notice this is on sale. I figure, meh, I can always return it if I hate it. Well, after a week of having everything hooked up together, the Soundbar has now moved into the bedroom, and as far as this thing and its "little speakers" go, wow. I was amazed at how great these actually sound. Don't get me wrong. It will not compete with a $1500 system. However, when considering most soundbars are $150+ for a good one, and you do get quality sound out of them, the little bit of money you'll spend on this Samsung unit is more than worth it! If you are pretty tech savvy, you will enjoy the customization options. I would recommend for everyone to download the firmware/software update immediately. Then you can take the time to set the distance of every speaker, as well as adjust volume out of each speaker. You can get a free Db Sound Meter App on any smart phone, select speaker test from the Samsung menu, and fine tune every speaker so that you have complete, even sound coming from every angle. The only issues I have is that it has bluetooth and will play music and videos from your phone, but you can not use bluetooth headphones. Also, I have a high pitch feedback sound that comes through the speakers whenever I have it set on Digital In (from my PS4). It is likely that it is caused by the cable itself or just some interference. It goes away whenever sound is being played though. I listen to music loud, watch a ton of action movies, play a variety of games, and this system sounds great with everything! I am a very picky person when it comes to sound quality, yet every day whenever I'm watching, or listening, to something new, I find myself smiling at the great surround sound positioning as well as the detail. All out of these tiny speakers, too! Amazing! Oh, as to the "Why 4 stars and not 5?" For one, it could really use an extra input, as well as extra output. The selection of "apps" is slim/non existent outside of the standard netflix, vudu, hulu, amazon, ect.. And last, but not least.. even though I listen to everything extremely loud and I don't find myself maxing this out often.. At the end of the day, it is a $250 Samsung, and not a premium Klipsch, Sony, or Cerwin Vega.. So lets be realistic.

I don't like changing once I'm familiar with something, but our last theater system was in need of replacement and we chose this one. It took my awhile to get used to it, but now I love it. I was worried about the small speakers, but the sound quality is wonderful. We've blared this on full volume multiple times (we have a house full of teenagers) with no damage to the sound quality. The menu is really easy to use. We once used Netflix and Youtube through our Wii, but this is so much easier to use that our Wii just sits unless the kids want to play something. We all love the BT feature and especially the range we can connect with. Change was good in this case.

I love the design of the box and speakers. The sound is clear and bass fairly strong. I have not turned it up to full but even using 3 of the speakers its loud enough to fill a living area. The bundled apps are a great addition but can be a little slow to load compared to the roku 2 we usually use. The only downside to the whole package is that it requires a wired ethernet connection to use online features. I am going to set up a wireless bridge with a couple of routers as the tv isn't near my internet socket

I love my surround sound. The sound quality is great, and it is very easy to use. Just one downfall. I have the fiber optic cable connected to my TV at all times. But I cannot leave the HDMI cord plugged in because then it will not play any sound when I want to just watch my satellite. Whenever I want to watch a DVD I have to plug the HDMI cable back into the TV, then remember to unplug it whenever I want to watch regular tv again. Somewhat of a pain, but I'm used to it now. I had geek squad come out and look at it. They have no idea why it does it, but they also didn't offer to replace it. So I'm not sure if this is common, or just not that big of a deal. That's the only reason I'm not giving this product 5 stars.

This is a great product and fit the bill for me in many ways. Did not break my budget for what I was planning on spending. Also it went down in price before I picked it up and they had already adjusted the price. The Player was easy to set up and the sound and picture quality is excellent. Great experience all around for me.

Let me start by saying that this is installed in a high school classroom: acoustics may not be the best as there are a lot of reflective surfaces, and it is comparatively large to most home environments. Video playback: no complaints with regular or blu-ray disks. The images are fine, no noticeable artifacts. Sound: from movies is actually quite good, and the surround system has good separation. On audio disks, or anything through the aux port, not so good. Music sounds tinny and can only be streamed through the front side speakers (left/right) and sub-woofer. There are some nice equalizer type controls for making adjustments adjustments, but they seem to have minimal effect. Perhaps I'm spoiled since my home system costs close to 20 times this system, and again the environment is likely not what it was designed for, but in my classroom, it is adequate.
