I bought this for my older Mother and installed fairly easy. Her hearing is starting to decline a bit so that is the reason for buying it. It sounds really good, especially for the price. I can honestly say I'm not disappointed at all. The only negative I can throw at it is, if you don't have a Samsung TV, the volume control is slow reacting. What I mean is you have to push the volume up or down with one click at a time, which can take longer to get it where it needs to be. Not sure if a Samsung TV is any different because she didn't have that brand. This is using an Xfinity remote.

I bought this Samsung Soundbar to enhance the listening experience of the Samsung 43" QLED flat screen I was also purchasing. Together these two components are an exceptional match! Watching movies or regular TV programming is fabulous and just plain fun with the fully heightened sound. Installing both was easy and immediately operable. I highly recommend this product.

sounded ok, but it has no arc input so can’t use with hdmi so have to use remote for sound. Decided to return and get the 550. Cheap fabric that covers bar isn’t very high quality

Everything was perfect. Easy set up. Sounds great. Cool looking remote that works great. Looks really nice. We paired with a Samsung 70 tv and it improves the sound so much. Great on video games and movies. We love it. Saved money and the open box idea as well

The sound system is easy to connect and the sound quality is great at this reasonable price range. We had a Boss sound bar before but we like this one more.

I am generally pleased with the sound bar. How ever it only has an optical digital cord. My older Samsung flat screen does not have an optical digital connect, so I either had to by and adaptor, return the sound bar and get one with HDMI cable, or buy a new tv. I decided to purchase a tv that was larger than my old one and had Multiple HDMI ports and optical audio. The soundbar was easy to install and set up. The Subwoofer lacked a separate volume control and the bass adjustment was lacking range. Overall, the sound bar worked well and auto connected with the wireless subwoofer. Good value for the money in my bedroom.

We ended up purchasing with recommendation from the salesperson. I am extremely satisfied with Samsung Q850T extremely easy to set up was able to sync to my Samsung phone. Sound is awesome!!! Especially when my wife comes downstairs thinking someone is actually knocking at the door from a scene in a movie.

The sound is really good for the money. However, my biggest complaint is that it does not stayed connected via Bluetooth. I have it paired with a Samsung TV. It will work one day. Turn it on the next and it is no longer is connected and won't connect. I ended up using an optical cable (provided) to connect. Since then no issues. Again, the sound is really good for the money, so I would recommend.

RonM:
Thank you for your review of this Samsung HW-T450 Soundbar System. I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing connection issues.
There are a few things you may want to check:
1) The maximum wireless signal transmission distance is about 33 ft.
2) If there is a wall between the sound bar and the subwoofer it may cause interference or not work at all depending on the material in the wall.
3) If there is a device that uses the same wireless frequency (2.4 GHz) near the Soundbar, interference may cause some sound interruption.
4) Check all of the sources on the soundbar. If the audio is dropping while watching TV it could be an issue with the broadcast.

The sound bar was purchased because the speakers on the TV blew out. It was cheaper than buying a new TV. Set up was simple. It works with the Fios remote. The only change would be to have the volume change when the Fios volume button is held rather than having to push it for each level of volume change.

I really love this sound bar with Dolby Audio and the woofer it really makes a difference compared to the old unit that I had
I’m not an expert on the subject but I can sure tell the difference I know there’re other brands but for me this is just right
Great price

I had purchased a 2020 Samsung 65 inch LED. Great picture but the sound isn't as perfect as I wanted. So I purchased a Samsung HW-450 2.1 sound bar. It even was on sale at Bestbuy. It was easy to install. There are a number of settings for how loud you want and the tremble. I had to try several different times to get to what I feel is good sound for me. Unfortunate that many of the channels and shows I watch all produce different levels of sound. I really like watching Chicago PD but the sound it produces is low especially when women talk.
