    Quality Sound that Can't Be Matched

    After first trying the C400 series soundbar with my new Samsung television, I moved up to the quality sound of the Channel S-series. I haven't been disappointed. For most of the programs that I watch, I chose not to combine the tv speakers with the soundbar. For the money, I could not have asked for a better sound!

    If this is your first sound bar for your Samsung TV, great start! It fits well under the TV and will output both TV and Soundbar sound at the same time in tandem.

    This soundbar is unparalleled in functionality and net all my expectations. If you want something simple that saves space yet delivers exactly the audio you need at a reasonable price, then look no further! It has the easy bluetooth connect, and just the amount of audio I need to showcase a difference between the TV’s audio without causing too much disturbance.

    Pretty disappointed in sound quality, no remote volume control. I have a cheaper LG soundbar that is way better. This works but is only slightly better than TV speakers

      Steve,

      I'm sorry to hear that you are not fully satisfied with the performance of the HW-S60B.

      To optimize your audio experience, please try the various sound modes this model offers. Press the SOUND MODE button on your remote, and then select your desired sound effect: DTS VIRTUAL:X, STANDARD, MUSIC, or ADAPTIVE.

      When you press the CH LEVEL button on the remote, you can adjust the volume of the CENTER speaker using the UP/DOWN buttons between -6 to +6. If the Rear Speakers (sold separately) are connected, the setting “Rear Level” is supported.

      You can further adjust TREBLE and BASS via the TONE CONTROL button using the UP/DOWN buttons on the remote between -6 to +6.

      Press and hold the SOUND CONTROL button for about 5 seconds to adjust the sound for each frequency band. 150Hz, 300Hz, 600Hz, 1.2kHz, 2.5kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz are selectable using the Left/Right buttons and each can be adjusted to a setting between -6 to +6 using the Up/Down buttons. (Make sure the Sound mode is set to "Standard".

      I hope this tip helps improve your sound experience. Should you need further assistance with features, functions, settings, or adjustments, please contact Samsung Customer Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. LiveChat with an agent as well as manuals, software, and warranty info can be found at the ‘Support’ link on our Samsung website.

    This soundbar sounds really good in a medium sized bedroom. A Samsung AU8000 series is not quite tall enough to fit over this soundbar, but plenty of room to put it just behind the TV for sound to come from under the tv. Really clear treble and good bass during movies as well. Came with 1 HDMI cable to hook into the TV.

      Hi SandmanXX,

      Thank you for sharing your experiences with the new HW-S50B All-in-One Soundbar. I am glad to see that you are enjoying the audio quality.

      You and a friend can both stream your playlists directly to your soundbar, conveniently switching between the two phones without disconnecting with Bluetooth Multi-Connection.

      If you want further bass, you can add the SWA-W510 Subwoofer designed to complement the S-Series soundbars.

      Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week.

      For additional support resources such as downloading a full manual, visit us on the Samsung website and click on the ‘Support’ link in the upper right corner of the homepage.

    The sound bar I purchased at the same time I purchased to my television they paired well together installed and seconds easy and simple to set up. The sound quality is very good enough to where I put a figurine on top of the soundbar watched a movie the next day and the figurine fell off the soundbar from the vibration. K

    What a difference! My tv is in a large room and when I am on the treadmill on one end, I had to turn the tv volume up almost all the way. Once I got this soundbar my problem was solved. The sound quality is good and the price was very reasonable.
