The Samsung - 4.1-Channel Soundbar with Wireless Rear Speaker Kit and DOLBY AUDIO / DTS 2.0 - Black is a great product with a great price! Easy assembly/connection and makes movie time more exciting with surround sound, totally protected no matter what with the purchase of Best Buy Total. Fits in any room.

The sound bar pairs nicely with the Samsung TU700D Series. The subwoofer and back speakers are a little harder to pair. You need them to be very close to each other while pairing but can be unplugged and moved after pairing. Every hour or two sound will go away for about a second or two, this can be annoying. Getting the sound to sync with the picture is not easy and is still not quite right after attempting to adjust it for 30 mintues. The rear speakers both plug into a third receiver box that is plugged into the wall so it is wireless but has wires. The subwoofer just plugs into the wall.

My Mother in-law had a television which lost one of its speakers and was about 10 years old. She asked me to evaluate its replacement or repair. Based upon the age and technology improvements I recommended replacement. She; however was reluctant because it still had a beautiful 10/80 picture, and met her needs. I researched replacement and discovered the cost was between $500-1200. On a fluke I checked sound bars and found this for around $160. I bought it and installed it for her and she is completely happy. The addition improved her viewing experience and allows her to use the Bluetooth function to play music, podcasts, and talk radio from her telephone. If you are an audiophile this is not for you. The only complaint I have is it is limited to an optical input, without HDMI-e-Arc. Unfortunately to operate the unit requires its own remote, but for $150 and great sound she loves it.

Very good bang for the buck sound system. Sounds decent too

I bought this when it was on sale as a Christmas present for my mother-in-law. Overall I think it is a pretty good value when it is on sale. I did have some issues with the sound being out of sync with the video, and considering that it was being used with a Samsung tv, I feel like this should have been less of an issue. I guess that could be more of an issue with the tv than the soundbar. I think the rear speakers should be a little louder as well. I could barely even tell they were on until I turned the rear level setting up all the way. If you plan on putting the rear speakers up high or far from where you sit, you might want to consider a different option.

This soundbar does not only have great sound quality but it has a very sleek design that fit my living room very well. I would recommend this product to anyone!

This is a nice affordable unit for a small apartment bedroom or living room. The wireless speaker kit looks great if you are able to hide wires at the back of room (behind a bed or a sofa) Sound quality is great for a 150 sq ft room. Easy install.

Very good value for the price. For my medium sized room it fills the air with beautiful music (unless I'm in my Metallica mood, then its just loud.) Some reviewers have complained that the rear satellite speakers are not loud enough. Not so. But they do require the right input. When using Amazon Music some music does not have a back track, While some are vivid and give a nice 2D sound scape. Similarly with TV videos. 15 year old movie DVDs are sad, but not HD video streams.

Just purchased this surround system. This system bangs. It hits hard. Great bass and treble sounds. If you follow the instructions and link everything properly, the sound is amazing. It also has adjustable subwoofer settings. The surround rear speakers play in all modes except the standard setting option. Compare to my other system this one works better and price is less. I love this system.

These speakers provide awesome sound. I love how it is so easy & compatible to use w/Samsung TV's im buying my 2nd set for my outside TV. Can't go wrong w/Samsung products.

This soundboard sounds great. Nice quality and nice bass.

This system is honestly not bad for the price. I know they have some that are more expensive and are better but you can’t beat this setup for the price

Bought this for our daughter for Christmas. She loves the sound ant the quality. The bass is good for the small room she has it in. Not the best for a large living room or den.

Good sound and works great for family movie nights!

PRO: The sound is really good, no distortion even on max level. CONS: It's no loud enough. The wireless rear kit is not totally wireless as you have to run wires from the speakers to the wireless receiver.

Great product and sound but not truly wireless. Wireless for the sound bar only works with some tvs and the rear speakers have a wireless receiver but the speakers themselves are wired

Very easy to set up. Crisp sound and great volume.

This sound system is everything you'll need to fill your home with high quality audio, It has a full spectrum of clarity in all frequencies and can get much louder than it looks. The only reason im giving it a 4 star review is because the audio will very rarely cut out during bluetooth streaming. Its noticable, but it occurs very rarely. I would highly recommend this sound system to anyone who wants to get a top quality sound system. It has numerous audio settings such as bass boost, surround sound (great for movies), adaptive mode, and more. It also has a remote and its convenient to use at long ranges.
