    Excellent sound bar, though I think it could be a little bit more louder but I added the Google nest max to it and they are wonderful.

    Not user friendly. Have had issues since we bought them. Gets disconnected from TV and will not reconnect. Have to turn the volume to the fullest to hear. Not happy Samsung.

      Hi Tagscrx,

      I am so sorry that you are experiencing connection issues with your soundbar. Updating the firmware on your soundbar gives you all the benefits of the latest improvements. Please make sure you are running the latest firmware update which includes improved connectivity. You can update your firmware ver. 1043 by using a USB device. You can find the firmware update on the product page of your HW-T450 soundbar on the Samsung website.

      I am also 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.

      If there is anything we can do to improve your enjoyment to 5 stars -- such as helping to optimize settings for your specific usage scenario -- please let us know. You can reach Samsung Customer Support at:

      1) Phone: 1-800-SAMSUNG, (available 8AM to 12AM EST - 7 days a week)

    High quality sound system but the remote was a little under preforming. I bought a Samsung sound bar because I have a Samsung tv.

    I bought the Samsung sound bar, not good! The sound is awful, has too turn up almost to 60, to hear it! I would recommend the visio sound bar. I have purchased both, and the visio puts the Samsung to shame..both same price!

      Hi Dont,

      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.

      This soundbar features a powerful wireless subwoofer, as well as Game Mode, & Smart Sound which automatically detects what you're watching and optimizes the sound setting.

      You can try manually optimizing your settings by pressing the SOUND MODE button on your remote, and then selecting the desired sound effect by choosing STANDARD, SURROUND SOUND, GAME, SMART, or DRC.

      You can further adjust TREBLE and BASS via the SOUND CONTROL button (looks like a gear symbol).

      Refer to pages 21-23 of the User Manual for detailed instructions:  https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202004/20200423101910539/HW-T650_ZA_FullManual_01_ENG_200219.pdf

    I wouldn’t buy this product again. It’s fine when it works but keeps cutting out. I eventually hooked it up with the optical cord, and that doesn’t work at all now.

    I purchase this unit for my living room setup. It has decent sound but very hard to hear dialogue from films. Possibly in a smaller room, it may be a little better to experience. I upgraded it to the T650 which is very awesome!
