Great value at the sale price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just installed and used for watching Outlander new season. Sound is really nice with the added bass, and clearer than just the Samsung TV which already has good sound. Still getting used to the volume levels to use as the range up to 100 means turning it up quite a bit. Looking forward to integrating this product to all its possible uses with external devices. The remote is a bit touchy.

||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar with the wireless subwoofer is so loud, we have to turn the bass down due to one of our dogs that can hear, thinks someone is at the door or he thinks he hears something outside! Great combo with our 85 in Samsung NEO QLED 4K SMART TV!

Mixed results. Good for TV only
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound for the budget when using it for the TV, but some issues when connecting my Samsung Galaxy smartphone to play music, some random horrible scratch sounds. No real solution found. If your planning to use as sound system better think on a independent sound system to play your music.

Good sound & bass, but has bugs (Common on Reddit)
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So i was hesitant to pick this up as I saw several reviews that said this didn't have enough bass, boy were they wrong!! This system KICKS and has great bass on all levels to provide a good punch for music and movies. Of course, it's no $1500 Sonos system but it holds its on, and if you live in a Shared wall condo like I do this is perfect (and I love bass) The good: -The sound is clear, especially with the center channel you get all dialogue and background sound. -Bass Hits (lows, mids, highs) and I have the sub set on 4/6 -Super easy to set up and get going -Bluetooth range is good and still has good quality as wired The Bad: - Buggy, the sound cuts on the subwoofer every couple of hours for a few seconds (common issue per Reddit) - The channel randomly changes from TV Arc to HDMI with no sound and I have to cycle around again -The subwoofer has a loud humming/negative feedback noise if you stop playing music or movies (especially on Bluetooth) (common issue per Reddit) -The remote feels super flimsy, especially the volume up button feels like it's going to fly off (common issue per Reddit) Overall its great, but these bugs are making me want to take it back. If I paid the full MSRP it would have went right back but the sale price has me debating.

Posted .Hello CorbinDallas550,
Thank you for leaving detailed review with your experiences on the HW-B650 Soundbar.
I am sorry to see that you are not 100% satisfied and have had some difficulties with your soundbar.
First, try doing a hard reset on your soundbar. It will reset all of your audio settings so please be aware of that.
With your soundbar ON, press and hold the - & +, volume UP/DOWN buttons on the unit itself for roughly 5 seconds. You will see "INIT OK" scroll across the LED display when it has completely reset.
If this doesn't fix your issues then go to Samsung's website. Hover your mouse over SUPPORT, then click on MANUALS & SOFTWARE. From here, type in the full model name of your soundbar and search. You will find the instructions on how to do a firmware update and the software needed to complete this.
If you are wanting to use your TV remote instead of the provided soundbar remote, follow these instructions.
If your soundbar is connected to your TV with either an optical cable or HDMI via ARC, you can control the volume and mute the soundbar using your Samsung TV's remote. The soundbar should also turn on and off with the TV.
1) Use the TV remote to navigate to Settings, select Sound, and then select Sound Output on your Samsung TV.
2) Select your Samsung soundbar, and then select Close. Now you can use your TV remote to adjust volume and mute the soundbar. The soundbar should also turn on and off with the TV.
Other manufacturer’s remotes may have to be enabled on your soundbar. First, turn Off the Soundbar. Once powered off, push up and hold the WOOFER button for 5 seconds. Each time you push the WOOFER button up and hold it for 5 seconds, the mode switches in the following order: “OFF-TV REMOTE” (Default mode), “SAMSUNG-TV REMOTE”, “ALL-TV REMOTE”. Please also make sure your speaker settings on the TV are set to External Speaker.
I hope these tips help you enjoy your new product.
You can always contact us for further help at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

Delivered more than expected.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Did not have high expectations for this sound bar and it was fairly inexpensive. Once I hooked it up and heard the potential I was blown away. The bass and clarity of voice for movies is unbelievable. Would definitely recommend if you are looking to upgrade on a limited budget.
