I found this on sale at Best Buy and bought it almost instantly, as it was being sold at half the usual price for similar systems. The 3.1 sound is noticeably better than the usual 2.1 system. Set up was very easy.

Good sound quality overall and is a huge improvement over the built in speakers on the TV. I didn't like the look of the bar mounted on the wall so we left it on the cabinet below.

I purchased this sound system after reading many reviews and have not been disappointed. The sound from this thing is phenomenal and really fills the room. I did read some reviews about there not being much bass, but if you do your research it is just a couple setting adjustments on the sound bar and on your tv and this thing will be blowing you away in no time. Would highly recommend!

After too many "turn that down" requests, I figured I needed some form of a multi-channel rig to get that center dialog channel. This was on sale and Best Buy further matched a verified Amazon price.
Easy hookup via Toslink cable to my Samsung TV, 15 seconds of configuration, and I'm hearing far, far better sound that the built-in speakers.
The subwoofer will not give you "in the club, listening to EDM" levels of bass, but for the sort of programming you're watching via streaming, OTA, or cable, it's perfectly fine. My Plex server music library played back through the TV now sounds pretty darn good.

I love this sound bar and sub. It's easy to jump between inputs and the sound quality amazing. I also grabbed the wireless rear speakers, pairing was a snap and now I have a quick, easy, and great sounding mini home theater set up for a great price

I got this for our Samsung - 50" Class (49.5" Diag.) - LED - 2160p - Smart - 4K Ultra HD TV and setup was a breeze. Takes a little while to get familiar with the settings and tweak them with the tiny display. I added the Samsung - Wireless Rear Loudspeakers - works with select Samsung soundbars (Pair) - Black and can never go back to using built-in TV speakers again.

For the price this is an amazing sound bar. Pairing works effortlessly with a Samsung TV. Sound isn't prefect but pretty close. Have this in a large high ceiling open room, sound resonates and projects very well. Bass is pretty good with deep sounds when needed.

Bought this sound bar after 2 attempts of other branded sound bars. I originally got an LG and it was horrible! Then I bought the lower end Bose, yes great sound but not enough to give me that surround sound feel I was going for. You couldn’t add anything to the Bose unless you purchase the 600 dollar sound bar that didn’t come with a sub which would be another 600 to get 1200 for a sound bar is nuts! The rep recommended this one it’s 3.1 with a nice size sub for my apartment. I then decided to also get the wireless rear speakers and let me tell you it’s way better than expected! The sound is great the surround is on point for being wireless and the sub gives a great kick when watching movies at the appropriate points in the movies or shows! Over all 5 stars and I would totally buy this again if I needed to!

This is a good system for the price. We upgraded an older model Samsung soundbar with this one and so far enjoy it! It doesn’t work with our soundbar mount for the tv wall bracket but it can be mounted directly to the wall or put on a shelf. The sub isn’t that powerful but does offer descent bass if you leave the surround mode on and the woofer level all the way up. I do like that it turns on automatically when the tv turns on. Wish it turned off with the tv as well. We have ours connected with the optical cable and have no complaints. Overall a good upgrade and nice soundbar.

Lacks power

I purchased this unit to hook up to my brand new 65" Samsung smart TV. Was hoping to increase to sound quality. The unit installed quite easily but the performance was nowhere near my expectation. I have always used home theater systems with my large TV's and quite frankly, expected similar sound output from this system with the exception of surround sound but was greatly disappointed. While the sound quality seems fairly good, the volume level is ridiculously low and the base is also ridiculously poor considering the size of the subwoofer and the fact that it is a powered sub.
A home theater system would have given me much better power for less money! For this reason I can't recommend this sound bar.

This soundbar and subwoofer enhanced my Samsung Ultra HD 4K . It doesn't have what you would call booming bass but it is a decent sound for my needs at my age . I just needed something to enhance the weak sound of my new Tv . Easy set up .

Well regarded and recommended in the store by Samsung Expert. Easy to set up, sync, etc. The major issue is with Bass and Sub woofer. It barely works. Upon search of reviews for this unit, found this is an over riding major issue. Went back to the store where the Samsung Expert suggested my expectations were too high. A few days later while shopping in Costco saw a similar Samsung unit, a model smaller and it sounded great! Plan on going back to Best Buy to return and replace. Until Samsung fixes this issue, I would stay away from this model
