Paired this with a new Samsung 65" Ultra TV. Connected great first time and sound much better after some tweaking. Sometimes it will turn off if you hit the on/off button too many times when turning on TV. Solution is to use the SOUNDBAR REMOTE and turn it on separately, then everything works fine again.

Got this product over a month and tried on 4k Dobby Atmos, it sounds as great as in show room. Wish the price can drop little bit more.

It sounds very good but it turns off after 5 minutes of no sound input. Pause to go to the bathroom, turns off. Browse Netflix with no sound on remote click, it turns off. Very bad if video is running through it. No way to disable.

To set up the sounder and woofer it was very easy, however it takes some time to figure out how to program the settings. Once you have it programmed it works excellent and the sound quality is unlike most sound bars - it's really powerful and it makes watching movies a lot of fun.

This sound bar is a waste of money. The sound from the TV speakers on my new 82 inch are far superior. Sounded OK in the store as the all do, but this thing is not loud and is tinny. It’s going straight back this morning and I think Samsung should stick to making TV’s.

Brand response from MrSamsung

RealtorPhil,
Thank you for purchasing this Samsung HW-K850 Dolby ATMOS Soundbar System. I am sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with its sound performance.
Here are a few tips that may help to enhance your audio enjoyment: 1) Connect the Soundbar to a network and upgrade the Soundbar to the latest firmware version. 2) Check that Surround Mode is set to ON. 3) Different effect modes (Standard > Music > Clear voice > Sports > Movie > Night mode) affect the levels of the surround speakers. Try a different effect to compensate for the source and room acoustics. 4) Try toggling the DRC feature. Dynamic Range Control is a feature that affects the volume levels on Dolby Digital sources. 5) Depending on the mode, the level of each speaker (including the Surround speakers) can be controlled individually.
Our customer care representatives are always here to help with sound setting adjustment to make your audio experience more enjoyable. Simply give us a call at 1-800-SAMSUNG, or reach us via LiveChat or email. Please copy-paste this link into your browser: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/contact
Again, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to hear from you soon. -Samsung Ambassador

Great speaker combo that seamlessly connects to the TV and has awesome sound quality. My only complaint is that it is too tall to sit in front of the TV, and it obstructs the signal receiver from the remote control. Will be looking into a spacer to raise the level of the tv.

This soundbar could be better but does provide adequate sound with settings that are easy to set up to the sound environment of choice. I listened to a Bose soundbar that provided exceptional sound but much more costly than the Samsung soundbar.

We were shopping for a new sound bar for our 4K TV and had decided on a brand different from our tv until by chance we heard the new Samsung sound bar. It is fabulous. It is the first sound bar that the voice is clear and beats our 5.1 system that was in the room. Now we just use this bar with no other speakers or wires to mess with. It has many listening modes and operational options. We are so please we found this bar by chance and it was worth every dime spent.

We finished our basement off and got this to compliment our new 65" Samsung TV in our entertainment area and couldn't be more happy. This soundbar not only was an easy set up but experiencing different genres of entertainment on it was great. From action movies to local news, to football games it all sounded great. And the added wireless sub-woofer on it darn near vibrates our sofas.
Highly, highly recommend this product.

Purchased this to pair with my Sony TV. The sound quality was top notch, and from a music standpoint, I'm not sure you can beat it. However, I had issues syncing it to my TV so I returned it. I loved the sound, but just could not get it properly synced up with my Sony TV.

The Samsung HW K850 is amazing soundbar..The subwoofer is fantastic. The only downside is the vocal or center is not very loud enough ..you have to turn it up more. I bought the LG SK9Y and compare it with the Samsung. The LG is good at center/ vocal but the surround is not so good compare to Samsung. I ended up returning the LG . The Samsung has a very very wide soundstage. You can hear the surround like in a movie theater. You have to test it with 4K UHD player to get the best Atmos sound . The blue LED light will turn on in the upper right corner when you get the Atmos signal. If you just watch the regular Netflix it won't lit up. It is only 3.1.2 but I think it is good enough for a small room . Overall I really like it so far. Keep in mind this one does not have DTX but Atmos is very good.

I feel satisfied with this purchase. The movie experience is definitely great with having great sound. The sub plays a huge part on this package. For some reason the only issue I have found is that it disconnects from the tv and have to sync it once in a while.

I was shopping for a sound bar and after looking and hearing many I came across this one and was amazed! The sound is second to none. It truly has surround sound quality, so much that I took out the current 5.1 system put it in the bedroom and now use this one as the primary sound system. Loaded with features and I can understand voice clearly, something I had trouble with on the other one. Treat yourself and get this sound bar you want be disappointed.

Was disappointed to find out wireless speakers will not work with this one. Samsung guy at Best Buy said I would need to step up to the $1100 sound bar with wireless rear speakers. Still thinking about taking this one back to get the other one
