    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    I purchased this sound bar instead of computer speakers because of the design and the price (on sale). I never had much luck with computer speakers when it came to sound quality and connectivity options. It seems like a 2.1 speaker set with bluetooth would cost $100+ for decent sound. The Samsung sound bar was around the same price so I decided to try it out instead of the standard computer speakers. Happy with my choice! I am able to connect the sound bar to my computer using an optical cable and I am able to use the bluetooth to pair it with my phone or other devices. It also has the ability to play music off a USB drive. The USB part is not as useful since I mostly stream things nowadays but it is a nice option. Set up was easy and it worked right away. Note: It sounded muffled at first but fiddling with the volume options on my computer in conjunction with the volume of the sound bar fixed that. As other reviews have commented, I do notice that as the volume gets higher, the sound does get distorted but I am able to comfortably get it to "room filling" volume without distortion.

    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

    Great sound bar for the price. Fills the whole family room. very small and unintrusive as well, and fits right on my impromptu entertainment stand.
