I would recommend this to a friendGreat 2.0 soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is really good. Samsung makes quality products. Very easy to connect to output from a Samsung hdtv. It's not surround sound but I knew it wasn't. Great for smaller tvs in 55' range. The bass box is good too.
I would recommend this to a friendLove my soundbar!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my new sound bar. I was looking for something simple and this product is great. It has built in subwoofers so if you do not want to buy so many parts this is great. Watching movies and listening to music is awesome.
I would recommend this to a friendBest soundboard
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It increases the volume of the TV a significant amount and makes everything sound way better than using the TV speakers. It only comes with a optical audio port and wire. No HDMI connector. And can be connected with Bluetooth for wireless.
I would recommend this to a friendLove this so much
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been wanting a soundbar for a while now and finally indulged. I have a Samsung TV so they work great together. They also have a few different sound modes and then you're able to use Bluetooth as well. Seriously an amazing investment.
I would recommend this to a friendSamsung HW-S40TSound Bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.2.0 channel sound bar. Most TVs have speakers in the rear of the unit. Being hard of hearing, I needed sound coming from the front of the TV. This bar had the best sound of the choices that were available the day of purchase
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Easy setup
Not much sound improvement
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Samsung Soundbar was easy to set up on our LG tv however power and volume buttons are difficult to see. We watched various types of shows/movies comparing the sound with the bar on and making adjustments. We could hardly notice a difference. We will be returning the sound bar.

Samsung soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't get to use the sound bar. I got it home and discovered my tv didn't offer bluetooth.
I would recommend this to a friendSamsung - HW-S40T 2.0ch All-in-One Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound bar does have perfect balance sounds for gamers, TV shows, animated movies, and drama movies. Good for classroom projector video lessons. But, not enough loud thundering bass. Good for small living rooms.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Gift for parents
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it as a gift for xmas. Mom seems to really like it, lol
I would recommend this to a friendGood

No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot to Much
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice sound bar. Not to loud. Just what I needed for my mother. She loves it. Thank you
I would recommend this to a friendExpectations Met
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound on the TV went out so I bought this basic sound bar for the bedroom. It does not put out bass with other sound bars with a sub woofer but I was not looking for that. Meets my needs perfect.
I would recommend this to a friendworks fine
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.enhances the sound of my TV just fine. It would be better with surround sound
I would recommend this to a friendSuperb speaker at the price.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great value, easy installation ( two cords, power + optical sound), and love the fact it turns on when I turn on my TV without having to use the remote. Added two device Bluetooth function is a perk too!
I would recommend this to a friendTiny speaker, tinny sound, mediocre at best
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm sorry, but this was a gawdawful terrible, complete waste of time for me taking it out of the box, setting it up to listen to one song, then promptly reboxing it and taking it back to the store for a refund. Yes, it sounded that bad to me. I should have listened to my gut instinct in the store telling me it couldn't possibly sound good, because it was right, and it could have saved my ears from a terrible disappointment, and me from an afternoon of frustration. If you're getting a Samsung soundbar, get something higher up the line than this, supposedly they make some good/great stuff higher up the line, but I'd say to steer clear of this model, it simply isn't worth it.

Sound bar works
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound bar works and increases or decreases sound adequately. I wish there would be an indicator visible to show what level I am increasing/decreasing to, but as long as the sound works, I'm happy.
I would recommend this to a friendDoes not have HDMI Pass Through
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Will not auto power on with a Sony TV and does not have the HDMI pass through. If you use this with a TV, you must use the factory remote to use the sound bar, can not be controlled with the TV remote or muti-use remotes such as Dish Network.
