Quality sound bar at a low price.Easy hook up and easy to use,This is NOT what you want if looking for theater type sound, but vastly improves your sound over the TV speakers.I listen to a lot of rock music over the TV and this produces really good sound for my living room.Not wall shaking. but good enough.Recently purchased another for my 80'ish parents and they love it too.Plug it in and improve your sound.VERY EASY set up,and remote works out to at least 20' .I had to return a different brand cuz remote wouldn't work across my parents 24' room.

Awesome got with the Samsung - Wireless Rear Loudspeakers - Black and makes the whole experience from movies to gameplay amazing! The sound is amazing on the PlayStation 5. I always match up as a set I got the Samsung sound bar with sub (this product), the Samsung - Wireless Rear Loudspeakers and I already own a Samsung smart tv looks great together and works perfectly! No problems with connecting this is the back speakers synced up easy and easy to set up. Definitely recommend! Takes PlayStation gaming to a new level fantastic sound quality!

The only thing I can complain about is it doesn’t Re-connect to Bluetooth on my iPhone easily, even after it has been connected, like its not recognizable...I would have to disconnect the power cord from the sound bar in order for my Iphone to read it again. I blame this problem on the soundbar not my iphone because I have another BT music player and it doesn’t have that problem. Ors frustrating to say the least who wants to disconnect it every time. Otherwise it sounds great, I no longer use the audio from my samsung TV, the soundbar provides sound for everything.

I bought this as an update to my older Samsung sound bar from 10 years ago. Smaller footprint but the sound is just as good as my old one. Sound bars are a necessity because the sound on the TV’s is only ok. Got a great deal on it too. Thanks Best Buy

It’s definitely better sound than the TV alone. It has great bass from both the soundbar & the subwoofer. 4 stars because the voices of people talking are drowned out by the music & other loud sounds like cars, guns, & airplanes.
You have to turn the tv speaker up loud to hear the voices!

We have a Vizio TV. The picture is good, but we really struggled with the sound. Any time there was an external disruption ( like an appliance or something running ), we would have to turn the TV up to way over normal volume to compensate. Plus, when you were watching movies, the background music and sounds were so prominent that they drowned out what the people were saying. So, we bought this for my husband for Father's Day. It has definitely made a huge improvement on our sound quality and the ability to be able to hear the RIGHT things. We were able to sync it with our DirecTV Genie remote so we can control the volume of the sound bar and the satellite TV all with the same remote.

I bought a Samsung sound bar specifically to be easily compatible with a Samsung Q70 TV. Right out of the box, the subwoofer paired with the sound bar via Bluetooth. But it would not pair with the tv, and has never once shown in the list of Bluetooth devices discovered by the tv. Unplug and replug the sound bar and poof! Everything works. Until the next time. Unplug and replug, everything works again. Go through pairing process, nothing. Samsung says unplug and replug, known issue. Two weeks in, pairing is random. Sometimes everything works properly when the system powers on, sometimes not. When it works, sound is good (although I miss the specific voice enhancement my Bose sound bar has), so no complaints about that. Maybe someday a software update will fix the pairing issue.

I needed a cheap affordable sound bar for my room and didn't want to spend a fortune. I saw this out there and felt the price obviously meant the sound wouldn't be too great but i was completely wrong. There's a few different modes available depending on what your watching and the sub packs a punch that even surprised me. Great overall soundbar at a very affordable cost. Setup was instant and didn't require any extra steps besides plugging in the power and plugging it into my TV.

Man does this thing kick. I am in love with the sound quality and the bass that this speaker bar subwoofer combo put out. The set up was incredibly easy and I had it up and running within 15 minutes. All the instructions and needed materials were easily.on hand and there was never a moment of headache. All the different sound options really let you fine tune the speakers to what you want and I constantly find myself saying "wow" out loud when using it.

This is a good system for the bass sounds and louder sound over all. The upper register sounds are not as emphasized which can lead to an unequal output. But overall, for what we wanted it for, to turn up the sound for hearing loss, it was very good.

I used to have a wired surround sound system but didn't like speakers everywhere. The soundbar gives me good sound and nice bass without all that. If your looking for theatre sound them keep looking. If you want a better sound than just what the tv gives you then this is the ticket. I really like it.

This is an awesome sound system. I have a Martin Logan surround sound in my living room and I am truly thinking of switching rooms sound systems. The sound quality is clear. Voices are clear and bass is low and not overwhelming.

It’s a great sound bar that makes movies and shows sound so much better but at when using the Bluetooth option it tends to disconnect a lot so I ended up using the optical cable so it never disconnects

Not bad for price. Pretty good sound. Depending on the program being viewed it would be helpful if volume could be raised. Overall though a good value for the product. Makes movie night more fun!!
