Good speaker

I would recommend this to a friendDefinitely doesn’t sound great for the price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The HDMI cable is way too short and one end (plugging into the soundbar is actually USB). The other issue is that I use the Q-Symphone wired but every time I turn on my TV, it says “network disconnected” unless I opt for wireless Q-Symphony. LOL nope. My paired homepods sound better for TV output than this $500 soundbar. It is going back.

does not support Dolby Atmos or Q Symphony
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just recently purchased a 65 inch Samsung OLED and at the time of purchase the agent told me that this was a great sound bar that it supported Dolby Atmos and Q Symphony. At the time of insulation, the installers asked me why I purchased the sound bar. I said it was highly recommended. He said this is the wrong sound bar for this TV he says first of all it’s too small and second of all it does not support Dolby Atmos and Q Symphony. after the installation, the tech showed me the settings for Dolby, Atmos and Q Symphony, and unfortunately, this sound bar does not support true Dolby Atmos true Dolby Atmos requires top firing speakers which this board does not have. Samsung says that it supports a type of Dolby Atmos, which is a Samsung Kodak, which basically is software that sort of integrates the sound from the TV and the sound bar, but that is not true Dolby Atmos. True Dolby Atmos comes from top firing speakers and the sound bar and TV interacts with those sounds together coming from different speakers. This sound bar also sounds horrible. It sounds very tinney surround sound. Sounds like the speakers are inside a soda can it’s not very good. The subwoofer is cheap and pathetic. If you’re on a budget then maybe this would be OK but if you’re spending thousands on the TV, this is not the sound bar for you !!

From the app, you can easily turn Voice Guide on or off.

Not as good as it should be
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality isn’t great for the cost. I don’t know if we got a faulty one or not but for $500 you’d think the sound would be better.

Posted .Hi JohnK,
I'm sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the sound quality of your HW-S700D Soundbar.
• First, please check that you have positioned the soundbar correctly. It has come to our attention that customers may be positioning the soundbar incorrectly, resulting in poor sound quality. The soundbar should be placed with the SAMSUNG logo facing up towards the ceiling. If you position the soundbar with the logo facing up, you will see the display/status panel and the speakers will be facing outward. (Refer to product photos on Samsung.com and zoom in on the photos) If you have incorrectly placed the soundbar with the SAMSUNG logo perpendicular to the floor (facing you when you sit), you will experience muffled or low-quality sound because the unit will be resting on the speakers.

Big sound from little soundbar but some issues
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Samsung isn't kidding when it calls this new S700D soundbar "ultra slim." At only about 1 1/2 inches tall and just 35 inches long, this thing is way more compact than almost anything else out there in the universe of soundbars. And while the sound quality produced by this tiny wonder is far better than you might expect for something so small , it does come with some tradeoffs. Most of them are related to the fact that to make a soundbar this tiny, some things had to be left out. Like a full sized HDMI port, and physical controls on top that provide some tactical feedback -- or even indicator lights that you can actually see. Turns out there are indicator lights, but like me, you might not even notice them at first. They are tiny LEDs hidden behind the front grill and can only seen when you are positioned directly in front of the soundbar and are looking directly at them. These omissions made setup of the S700D more difficult than it might have been since, in the beginning, it was hard to tell if it was even on (oddly,there is no "on" light) , much less how to change any settings. But more on this later. What most people are going to care about is the sound and on that front at least, this Samsung Ultra Slim performs quite well. With the help of a fairly hefty wireless subwoofter, the tiny speakers in the soundbar combine to produce the kind of full-bodied sound you might expect from something much bigger. You might even be surprised at how full the sound gets on soundtracks with properly engineered sound effects and music. . Bass is surprisingly strong and since it supports several flavors of surround sound, there is a broad sound field that expands up and out from the soundbar itself. Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD and DTS are supported but it's a little unclear how best to access the correct codec or even if any of them are being used. The small, minimalist remote, easily one of the worst designs I have seen on any device (which is saying a lot) , only allows you to cycle between unseen sound options with a single button. The soundbar annouces by voice (odd) what mode it is when you push that button but almost none of them are the familiar codecs. Instead, your choices are mostly generic names Samsung has decided to give them: Standard, Surround, Game and adaptive sound. The only familiar codec offered is DTS Virtual X. The soundbar does not come with any manual detailing what any of these various options do or why you should chose one over the other. I had to go online and search around to sort all that out. (Hint: Adaptive sound is probably the best all around option most of the time) I highly recommend that you download Samsung's generic Smart Things app (used by many Samsung devices) so you have some idea what is happening during setup and can more easily control what the soundbar is doing. And actually see the settings. Otherwise, you are mostly operating blind, unless you can decipher the various colors and flash patterns of the LEDs. The app also allows you to easily check and update the firmware, which is difficult if you are not using it, and to set the soundbar to auto update. One big advantage with the Samsung S900D is you have both wired and wireless options when it comes to connecting to your TV, The only wired option is HDMI (sorry no optical) But instead of a full HDMI port (which was too big for the tiny soundbar, I guess) Samsung provides a smaller mini HDMI port (same as USB C). Included with a soundbar is short cable with mini HDMI plug on one end and full HDMI plug on other. You will need an adapter if you have to make a longer run with an existing HDMI cable. On the wireless side, this soundbar uses bluetooth so your TV or streaaming device must support that. HDMI provides the best sound quality (via HDMI ARC or eARC from the TV) but if you prefer a less cluttered approach, a bluetooth connection is possible. That's easier, of course, but bluetooth compresses the audio so sound can be a bit flat and muddy. Samsung's propriatory Q Symphony feature is also also supported via HDMI or wifi (you must used the Smart Things app for this). It only works with compatible (ie newer) Samsung TVs. Q Symphony allows you to run your TV speakers and soundbar at the same time and provides more visual feedback on soundbar settings. Since the soundbar supports bluetooth, you can use it to stream music as well, via remote phones, tablets or the like. But I found the audio quality on music served up this way to be somewhat lacking. That may be because the tiny speakers in the soundbar seem to have trouble doing justice to the midrange frequences, where most music resides. OK for TV. Not so great for music. The S900D also comes with a very complete set of mounting hardware if you prefer that look over just setting it on a cabinet under the TV. Overall this is a pretty decent-sounding soundbar, given it's small size. It is a bit on the pricey side but if you are into the smaller-is-better design aesthetic, this might be a good way to go.

A Great Sounding, Very Compact Soundbar
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Samsung S700D Soundbar I love this soundbar! It’s so compact and it sounds great! The highs are strong and clear, the base is solid and robust. There are touch buttons on the top of the bar for power, volume, and source. The size of the soundbar in front of your TV is amazingly compact (35 inch long, 1.5 inch high, and 1.5 inch deep) It’s one of the smallest soundbars I have seen, and yet the sound does not disappoint! The Sub Box is wireless to the Soundbar and measures 14 inch high, 12 inch deep, and 8 inch wide. The sub has a standard AC cord and plug. The Soundbar has a standard AC plug and cord with an in-line power block leading to a small cord that plugs in to the back of the soundbar making the install less cluttered and even more compact. There is a proprietary HDMI cable to connect to your TV and to the back of your Soundbar which is also of small diameter. This model does include Samsung’s Q Symphony which also utilizes the speakers in your compatible Samsung TV (Model years 2022-2024) to further enhance the sound. And Samsung included wall brackets with this model if you need to mount it. The included remote is compact with several features including a “pair” button for connecting to Bluetooth, a Sound Mode button for the 5 preset sound modes (I’m using the DTS Virtual X). There are built in voice prompts to announce what your current setting is. Of course, the remote has volume, pause, mute, and power. It also has a subwoofer level button for quick and easy adjustments along with a tone control button. If that’s not enough, download the “Smart Things” app from Samsung and you can control everything from it with a visual confirmation on your phone. There are also advanced Sound settings in the app for Voice Enhancement (dialogue enhance) and Night Mode options. You will need to download the App to set the Wi-Fi on the soundbar. After setting up Wi-Fi you can use Apple Air Play 2 to play your favorite streaming music on your iPhone and Airplay sends great bandwidth music right to the soundbar with a range as wide as your local router has coverage. I use Airplay exclusively over Bluetooth because I can walk anywhere in my home with the phone in my pocket and have no dropouts, in addition, the sound is better due to lossless compression vs Bluetooth. As you can tell, I use this soundbar for music listening as much as for watching TV and movies. FYI, this model does not include Alexa. I was able to connect Alexa to The Samsung Smart Things App, and could ask Alexa to change the volume, but never was able to play music to the speaker using Alexa. CONCLUSION: I really like this soundbar for features and great sound. The setup was straightforward and easy. The compact size is impressive considering the sound you get. Airplay 2 is a big feature I appreciate on this model. Being able to use the remote OR my phone to control this is a big plus. And don’t forget the top touch buttons right on top of the bar for a quick volume change. Yes, I would absolutely recommend this soundbar.
