I had great help by a BestBuy representative. I am using the Samsung HW-S5oB in my small bedroom. I did not want a separate woofer and this was just right. I love the sound. It was super easy to set up.

This was a very good purchase. Good soundbar, more powerful than it looks like and still a good choice for a first soundbar. I had zero issues so far with it, good for a small apartment.

It sounds terrific, however, when I'm watching over-the-air broadcasts, switching from major network stations to the secondary (or local) OTA stations, the volume changes dramatically. That doesn't happen from the TV's built in speaker. I don't know if this can be adjusted, so I'm just "living with it". Otherwise I believe it is a good sound and good value.

Picture is excelent. No glare screen and the colors are bright and clear. The salesman knew his televisons and explained the difference betweeen the different brands. Also he knew exactly what I needed in a sound bar. Delivery was right on time and the setup was very friendly and informative.

We are enjoying the addition of this sound bar to our Samsung TV. We like that they are same brand compatible and work well together with a smooth power on and no extra task required. The ability to chose the type of sound settings based on what you are watching or streaming is also enjoyable.

The Samsung HW-S50B 3.0 Channel S Series all in one soundbar provides clear and concise audio. It has several options for listening, i,e., music, adaptive, standard, game, sport and Virtual X.

I installed an extra slim line wall mount so the slim line Samsung fits extra close to the wall. We put a display picture, right now Monet , and it looks like wall art when not in use. Excellent picture quality and great features make it a very good choice.

Samsung Sound Bar a Good Addition

The addition of the Samsung HW-S50B 3.0 sound bar has really increased the enjoyment of our new LG 48B tv. The setup was a little difficult because of my not realizing that there are two different MIDI cable types. The instructions are clear but I didn't notice the (arc) difference in the receptacles. Once we got that straightened out the setup was easy. Otherwise a good improvement.

The Samsung HW S508B 3.0 channel s series soundbar is better than my tv speakers, but..... it is difficult to adjust the treble and bass and sound is quite muddy at times. On the plus side the volume can be controlled with the tv remote.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
