    I purchased two of these for my summer house. There are great for my small living room and family room entertainment. They were easy to set up and easy to use.

    I wasn’t looking for a soundbar when I walked into best buy but this one caught my eye, it was heavily discounted and I thought to myself “Why not?” and I went ahead and purchased it. I immediately set it up as soon as I was home and it was amazing. First of all, the bass and sound is amazing especially for the price. It’s easy to use and has many configurations. It’s made my tv experience and gaming experience much more immersive.

    Don’t buy open box items

    I have no complaints with the sound bar, it works well and sounds great. It was also easy to install. I am irritated with Best Buy. I bought the sound bar as an open box model which was listed as excellent condition meaning it was like new and all of the necessary accessories were included. There were “inspected” stickers on the box. When I opened the box it was missing the hardware package as well as the remote. I could have gotten by without the hardware since I wasn’t hanging it on the wall. However the sound bar was completely useless without a remote. I had to make another trip to Best Buy to get a sound bar that had all the pieces. I won’t trust Best Buy again in buying open box items.

    Excellent sound for the price, great for a smaller room (probably wouldn’t be the best in a large room). This is in my sons room and at times the walls rattle from the bass it puts out :-) Very easy to set up and even easier to control/tweak sound. Don’t expect Sonos/Bose quality from this for what you pay for it but again, kids room or bonus room it’s perfect

    Got this for black friday for a pretty good price. The sound is good and the bass too. Don't need to turn the bass up too much to get a good sound to it, it can go down bellow 0 to make it even softer which is great depending what I'm watching. Great option for those who aren't looking to great the bank

    I enjoy the quality of sound and bass at this price. I bought it during Black Friday, but I will still buy another one for my other tv. Just wish I didn’t need to use a separate remote to operate it.

    I got this as “open box satisfactory.” It didn’t come with the box (obviously) and there were some scratches on the sub, nothing that couldn’t be removed, and I got it looking new. I didn’t get the remote on purchase, which was weird, but a quick call to customer service hooked me up with a new remote. The sound quality is great, and voices from tv shows and music can be heard very clearly. I ended up buying the product for just under $100, and I thought it was a steal. The bass is punchy, and the bass boost mode is a huge plus. The sound could be louder from the optical input, but its very loud from the Bluetooth input. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone putting it in a living or family room, you should go with something louder. I have it in my room, and its great for that. Overall, it’s a great system to put in a bedroom, and I don’t think it can be utilized for much more than that. All as long as you get it under $130. After that cut-off, you’re paying way too much, for way too little.

    This is a great soundbar/sub combo. Setup is quick and easy and it sounds really good. The sub puts out good bass, that you can feel, when watching your favorite movies or listening to music. Came with sturdy wall mounting hardware for the soundbar.

    I was upgrading my old vizio sound bar. This blew my old one out of the water. I have bass again, it seamlessly turns on when I turn my TV on (as it's a Samsung as well). It is also to switch over to Bluetooth and enjoy music while I cook.

    This speaker and subwoofer have excellent sound quality and were easy to incorporate with our 75 inch big screen TV. They were very easy to connect to our TV and the instructions were thorough. The price was a great value as it was over 40% less than similar speakers/subwoofers.

    Samsung Soundbar

    I purchased this Samsung Soundbar based on the sales price. It appeared to be the lowest priced brand name Soundbar out there. I purchased this to complement the 65 inch TV I purchased a few months ago to improve the sound. As everyone knows the sound which comes out from TVs these days is terrible. However, I am very surprised with the clarity of the sound, the surround sound mode is great, and the bass boost is amazing. I thought I liked the TV before but with the new Soundbar I feel like I am in a theater when watching with excellent surround sound and booms coming from the bass speaker. Best money I have ever spent at Best But.

    Love it! Fills our family room with wide sound. Easy to setup and works well with Apple TV. Sub rattles the walls just right when it is supposed to but does not draw attention to itself when it shouldn't.

    Great purchase! This was a wonderful price and I throughly enjoy the sound it produces. One star off for the ridiculous remote that was manufactured with this. It’s impossible to open and put batteries in. Found several bulletins of other customers complaining about the exact same experience. It took me almost a week of fiddling with the stupid remote in order to get the back off in several YouTube videos. Terrible experience. I pray these batteries never die! Lol

    This soundbar set up was super easy to install and connect. Once it was connected to the TV it blew my old soundbar out of the water. Plus the contoler is super easy to use. I did have to paint the controller green to find it on the couch since all black controllers disappear into the void that is the couch. But other than that small issue, I've had zero qualms about it
