    This is my first sound bar so I'm not sure what I expected. I bought it so we wouldn't have to turn our TV to highest volume to hear. It seems to cut off and on from TV to sound bar and it is hardwired not blue toothed. Has good sound when it works but just isn't quite what I expected. Like I said I am new to this technology so it could be just me.

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung HW-T450 Soundbar and for your review. I am very sorry that you are not happy with the volume of your soundbar. Simply changing the Digital Output Audio Format to PCM can help. You may want to try changing the Digital Output Audio Format to PCM.

      This can be found at Home > Settings > Sound > Expert Settings. (It can also be found in the Quick Settings.)

      If your Digital Output Audio Format isn't set to PCM, like for instance if you have a Dolby option selected, then you will likely notice decreased maximum volume. Dolby options are designed for surround systems (like 5.1 or 7.1), whereas PCM provides great sound quality for stereo speakers.

      If you don't have a surround system, you will probably want to select PCM. You'll get much louder volume that way, and potentially better sound quality.

      I hope this helps. For further assistance with settings, features, or functions, please contact Samsung Customer Support.

    I love these. You can really tell the difference in sound when I hook them up on my TVs. I have 2 of them. I like how you have the option of either connecting them directly with a cable or using the Bluetooth feature.

    Product is good but I feel it could’ve been better. I still feel like I have to turn it up high to hear the effects of what I’m watching. My son has a different sound bar don’t know the model number and year but I feel his works better then this one. I do like the fact that the bar is a medium size and the Woofer is not a big bulk box.

    Great sound for this budget, lacks equalizer and HDMI eARC. I use the fiber optic cable and it works well, would be better with eARC. That sets it behind on features. Audio-wise, its good and fills a medium living room well. A ton better than the TV speakers, but that's a given.
