The Samsung 2.1-Channel 200 W Soundbar System is great for a small room! The multi directional dimension of music or sound envelops the listener and transports the senses to another dimension of media bliss. This system is just what you need in a small bedroom or entertainment area!

This is a great entry level soundbar if you don’t want to pay loads of money. The sub is great. I purchased this because I didn’t want the volume to come from my my actual Samsung TV. I noticed that when your volume comes from the TV it rattled throughout the TV set, so the volume is better suited coming from another source. It is a fantastic soundbar. The sub is really immersive. Definitely recommend!

This is a great soundbar system for the price. The setup is easy, the sound is great, and the subwoofer adds that extra bass to help you feel what you are watching. This is not going to replace the big sound of the movie theater, or even be as good as more powerful, and more expensive, soundbars or home theater systems. At 200W it has plenty of power for your typical living room and TV viewing. This is better than the speakers built in to your TV in terms of power and direction. TV speakers are pointing down so the sound has to bounce around to get to your ears. Getting this soundbar will greatly improve how you hear your shows and movies as the sound is directed at you. You don't need the more powerful models unless you just love to crank it up and hear every pin drop. The subwoofer has plenty of power to feel the bass without overwhelming you. It has a wireless connection to the soundbar so you could place it anywhere in the room. If you are looking to improve the sound from your TV and you don't want a full surround sound system or want to pay a lot, this is the system for you.

Bought this for a great room TV. Sound is very good for this type of system. Setup was easy and wireless sub woofer works well.
The only complaint is that the remote won't adjust the sound level. It will work the other functions (setup choices) but not the sound volume. It may be just a bad unit ore too much natural light in the room. Haven't had time to call help line yet.

Recently purchased a new flatscreen that the built-in speakers point down to the floor on. And really sounded like you were listening to it through a tin can. Enter this sound bar. It gave us just what we needed and didn’t break the bank to do it. Simple set up. Love that we can also play music from our smartphones through it. Fits perfectly under the tv and the sub is discreetly tucked away in a cabinet but is still audible. Great purchase in my opinion if you just want better sound than the tv gives.

The sales rep at Best Buy suggested a sound bar since the new Samsung TV we were buying was very thin and therefore could not have really good speakers. It turned out the TV speakers were fine for broadcast shows and sports, but the sound bar definitely adds to the movie experience. It can also help with dialogue when the volume is suppressed. This happens a lot in movies these days when the sound levels are typically set for a theater environment. (Theaters typically keep their levels cranked way up to emphasize the loud sounds, with the result that soft dialogue is often barely audible.)
We could have paid a lot more for a sound bar but this one sounded good in the store and the TV and sound bar together cost significantly less than the TV they replaced. We're happy.

My 1st soundbar. Gives good sound, was easy to setup and a nice incognito profile.
I like that I can also bluetooth connect it to other devices and it has pretty good sound and the subwoofer works good too. No real delay that I can detect between the two.
Fills my living room up pretty good, however if I step outside my door I can barely hear it, which I like because I won't be disturbing my neighbors.
The one thing I would change would be the constant LED display. It would be nice if it timed out.
I definitely feel like I got my money's worth.

I picked this up along with the expansion rear speakers from Samsung to turn it from 2.1 channel to 5.1 and what a game changer. It has entirely altered movie watching experiences for me as the sound depth is so much deeper. In a room the size of 16x12 the bass is very full and the treble levels are not lacking.
Once you configure the subwoofer to best fit the room — you’ll be impressed. If you can find the wireless rear speakers kit (Samsung 8500s) and this for under three hundred dollars? You should consider it a very big win.

I purchased this product for use in my travel trailer because the speakers that came with the trailer's audio system are of low quality. Value was a concern because I didn't want to spend a lot; blow-away sound was not a requirement because, well, its a travel trailer. I was extremely impressed with the ease of setup, clear and crisp sound, and performance of the sub-woofer. This purchase has greatly added to the enjoyment of my travel trailer and I highly recommend this reasonably priced item.

The Samsung 200 Watt soundbar system is a good value. The sound is so much better than the TV speakers. I hooked it up to my 58" Samsung 4K TV. Installation was a snap just plug the fiber optic cable to the TV and the Soundbar, plug the Soundbar into the wall and you're good to go.

Love this. Only quirks are that after turning the TV and sound bar off, the sound bar turns itself back on 2 minutes later, like after you've turned the lights off and left the room. It also responds to changing the volume with the Samsung TV remote, so since they're located right next to each other it's a bit of a juggling act to get TV volume down when what you really want is the surround sound turned up. But great sound when all is said and done.

I wanted to have a sound bar to help with the more sound from my TV. What I wish is that an item like this could maintain the sound that I set so that when something comes on that exceeds what I want it keeps it at the level I want. I still have to go up and down with the volume. I am not sure if that even exists but it would sure be nice. My TV was suppose to do that but it doesn't. Overall this is an acceptable sound system for what I paid and what I wanted it to do.

I bought the Samsung soundbar/sub-woofer to enhance my little 32" TV. My TV had an optical output, so connection was easy using an optical cable. Once I had everything hooked-up, it was simple to operate with the remote control. The quality of sound was a huge improvement over just the TV speakers. And that bass from the sub-woofer sounds awesome in my small bedroom. Overall a very good product! Would definitely recommend.
