Meh.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounded awesome in store! Hooked it up to the Samsung TV I bought at the same time and the soundbar actually sounds worse than the regular TV volume. I don't use the soundbar at all, it's just a very expensive decoration under my TV. So disappointed I wasted money on this!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendThere are better options for cheaper
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this sound bar because I figured the name brand would automatically make it good. I could never have been more wrong. This sound bar sounded worse than the speakers that come on the tv. I ended up returning it for one that was $150 cheaper that sounds ten times better.

Sound was "muddy" with too much bass
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound was "muddy" with too much bass, and I needed the closed captioning even more. Replaced with a Yamaha YAS-108, which does not have a sub-woofer, so there is much less bass and its sound is much clearer.

Thank you for purchasing this Samsung HW-N550 Soundbar System. I am sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with its low volume.
Please check the connection between the Soundbar and other source devices, and try the following tips that may help improve the volume level.
1. Check the source volume. For example, if connected to a mobile phone using Bluetooth, increase the volume on the mobile phone.
2. If the Soundbar is connected to a TV thru HDMI, make sure to use the HDMI-ARC jack on the TV and select “External speakers” as the TV sound output.
3. Then check the TV for the audio output format sent to the Soundbar. Typical options are PCM, Dolby Digital, and Bitstream. Select the option that optimizes the sound from your source.
4. Change the SOUND MODE on the Soundbar by using the Soundbar’s remote. Select the appropriate mode for the individual room acoustics.
5. Turn on Dynamic Range Control. This is done by pressing and holding the SOUND MODE button on the remote control while the Soundbar is in standby mode.
I hope these tips help to enhance your audio enjoyment.
