It's like bringing a movie theater to your house using this sound bar on my TV gives me the quality and sound that I need at my home to make it feel the comforts of a movie theater without the expenses The employee who helped me out pick out my soundbar was very knowledgeable and understanding what I wanted and steering me in the right direction I value their opinion

I bought this sound bar on the black friday sale off the strength of the reviews. I couldn't connect it via bluetooth to my Roku TV but the optical cord came in handy. The sound is great and the design in sleek. 10/10 would buy again.

We're just using it to improve sound for our TV in our bedroom. It does a fine job of that and had a reasonable price. Not a demanding application and super simple to set up.

This sound bar has really upped my music experience in my home. I am very happy with the sound, ease of installation, and trim look of the speakers. I also want to give Best Buy kudos for the prompt delivery to my car at pickup time.

For the price it is, the quality is sooo good. We have partys and with only using the soundbar, it fills the room up with sound and the subwoofer makes your body vibrate.

Good soundbar for the price. Woofer brings the bass and overall gets plenty loud for a smallish speaker.

Pay Attention to Details

1) Sound quality is not great; sometimes streaming comes in perfect & listening at the 10-15 volume range however other services come in with weak sound & have to listen maxed out at 90-100 volume range while still wanting it to be louder.
Still own basically the same version of this soundbar from 2019 and it has way better sound; didn't have the volume range issues.
2) Samsung removed features available on previous models via the remote in which the user could choose sound effects like 'sports', 'movies', 'music', 'night'.
3) Pay attention to details: No HDMI connection which is generally a better way to connect versus the digital optical connection. My bad for not noticing that prior to purchase.
4) No matter what I try, it won't simply sync with my Samsung TV so they turn on and off together; very frustrating.
Own plenty of Samsung products I'm very happy with: fridge, washer/dryer, other speakers, TV, etc however quality is slacking on this particular product.
If it weren't for the great deal ($129.99 during holidays), there is no way this is worth the non-sale sticker price of $279.99
Will be returning.

Great product with great sound. Because the subwoofer is wireless, have the sound bar placed underneath the TV and the Subwoofer placed on the opposite wall for a more surround sound experience. 10/10, would recommend.

Nice set up, only not as loud as I'd hoped for... great sound quality though, as others have mentioned. For the price value, this would be great for a small room.

I bought yesterday and came home hooked it up in less than ten minutes . My space is very small, so the 270watts is probably more than needed, but great sound quality listening to heavy bass dubstep no flooding and excellent for vocal clarity and drama. Sounds way more expensive . Only con is i still cannot figure out how to put the batteries in the remote. Doesnt have arc port, but does have optical . Great value

Perfect for your average tv home experience, crystal clear audio very deep bass from the sub. A very good buy.
