    Works great with my Samsung 55” TV, doesn’t come with a woofer, but the Samsung Symphony setting uses the sound bar AND the TV speakers together for a rich, enjoyable sound.

    I like this soundbar. My only issue is that the remote doesn't always work. I believe it is a defect because I have brand new batteries in it

    My new television had echo and gravelly sound. Part of the problem was the large television came down close to the fireplace mantel. The sound echoed off it. The sound bar took care of the effect. The Geek Squad thought that through and solved the problem.

    I love a good sounding home system. I have a Klipsch 9.2.4 in my basement, Samsung - HW-A650 3.1ch Sound bar in my living room that I'm happy with. So, when I was helping my MIL to get a sound bar for her TV, I thought that this would be perfect...It is not! All it needed to do is make the voices clearer and louder. I tried all different settings and they all suck. I thought it might be the room setup. So I took it to my house where I already have a sound bar. I played with it and listened to it for about 2 days and realized that it sucks! Unfortunately, it's past the return time and it works so I can't return it! Very disappointed with Samsung for this particular bar!

      Hello KnowItAll,

      Thank you for taking a few moments to review the Samsung HW-S50B Soundbar. We value your feedback and will share it with our teams.

      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.

    The item is fine. I bought an open box item and didn’t notice it is dented in the front until it was installed. It would be a good practice to indicate if there is an damage on open box items offered for sale.
