    I connected my soundbar yesterday and overall I would give the sound quality 5 stars. Also the look and feel is beautiful! I still can't believe the sound is coming from a slim/low profile product. I love it came with an optical cable and the packaging was efficient A items on my wish list, I wish the programming to a non-samsung TV was a little bit easier. The programming was not intuitive and at times I feel like I have to crank up the volume. ..it would be ideal if the soundbar could maintain steady volume even if the programming was lacking. Overall it was a great purchase for the price paid!

    For not a lot of money, this sound bar does its job well. The box was installed and set up simply. And the sound it produces is unobtrusive and pleasant. It’s definitely worth the price.

    My husband and I were looking for a basic sound bar that was quality but not super expensive. This Samsung bar works great in our 800sq ft apartment. Its good for tv/movies and we Bluetooth music often. Very happy.

    I love this soundbar it feels like I'm in a theater. The only problem I have is that it turns on by itself. Whenever I turn it off it just comes back on. Does anyone else have this problem?

    I spend most of my time in an 18 wheeler. TVs, today, don't have the best sound. I tried a 5.1 wired system, but it was hard to manage. While this doesn't have the surround of that system, this is good and simple... just what I need, as an occasional TV watcher. I may ad the wireless rear speakers, in the future.

    They were out of brand new which was a bummer but they had a set open box for a reduced price. The speakers work great and we picked this brand because we thought it sounded better than the more expensive sets. Worth it!

    Rear-firing TV speakers are useless, I don't understand why they even bother. This speaker set is a great value, sounds nice, compact, easy to set up, works with bluetooth too. Would be nice if it could automatically switch back to tv input after using bluetooth.

    This has been the easiest piece of tech I have purchased in a while. Sound quality is great through all connected devices (tv, echo show, android phone, etc.) The only issue I have is that the neighbors keep getting upset with rumbling of the walls OOppps #sorrynotsorry

    This soundbar is perfect for my two bedroom home. The sub woofer is awesome and the soundbar has a great sound quality. The only reason I gave it four stars is because it almost always needs to be re-paired to my TV's Bluetooth and it doesn't work with my Samsung's Smart Things app either.

    Fantastic soundbar! My only complaint (and I never really thought I would say this) is it can be just a bit heavy on the bass. However, I have only really noticed this when playing intense video games while my girlfriend is trying to sleep. Other than that, this thing is amazing for the price.

    • Brand response from Samsung
      Posted .

      Skinlessohio441:

      I am very glad to see that you are happy with the Samsung HW-R450 Soundbar.

      There are two adjustments that can be made for bass output:
      1) Using the WOOFER button on the remote, you can adjust the volume of the subwoofer between -6 to +6 by toggling the button up or down. To set the subwoofer volume level to 0, press the button down.
      2) Adjust the bass control by pressing the SOUND CONTROL button (gear icon) on the remote control, then select BASS to increase the level. You can adjust the volume between -6 to +6 by using the Up/Down buttons.

      For precise audio adjustments, you can use the 7-band frequency equalizer to optimize the sound for your room acoustics.

      I hope these tips help you find a bass level that works for both you and your girlfriend.

    Very simple setup. Clean high range and plenty of bass, mid range slightly lacking. Better quality sound overall than other similar brand name sound bars, but more expensive as well. Definitely worth picking up when on sale.

    This was easy to assemble and we love the sound quality. We currently have this connected to our 65" Samsung 6 series in our great room. Needless to say, movie night at our place is the BEST! Great value and a great price!

    Everything about this is great. I just wish it was louder, I always have it around 50 to have an average volume, higher when I’m watching a movie. My last system I could have in 30 averagely. Other than that great system

    I have two of these and this one is even better than the previous generation. It includes Bluetooth pairing for security which is nice. You can also use a fiber (optical) cable to connect to your tv. The wireless subwoofer is nice.

    This is in a small TV room and it is a perfect fit, the bass is good and the sound fills the room. Set-up was super easy and fast. I would suggest this for small the medium sized room or bedroom. I have a full 7.1 set-up in my Den as a comparison

    I’ve had this for over 6 months with constant use and it’s amazing. I put this in my bedroom and the subwoofer creates insane bass for the price and the sound bar sounds great, great clarity and easy to use and set up.
