    Good speaker, but w/delay and crummy bluetooth

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Bought with Samsung tv. Good quality except with bluetooth. Audio 'crackles' using iphone over bluetooth. This is the only speaker that does this with my iphone. Otherwise, sound is good. I wired the digital optical out from tv to the speaker. This creates a delay in the audio which can be adjusted. However, you need to turn the tv audio to zero and output all audio out speaker. I think this is just from how I wired if.

    Excellent Christmas Present

    I got this for Christmas. It was perfect, crystal clear sound at almost every volume level. It comes with a button just to up the sub-woofer. Amazing, I brought my friends over to experience it and they loved it. I will unfortunately be returning it though. In its place I will be getting the HW-J550/ZA which comes with a larger sub-woofer and I hope to experience even better sound from it.

    Great for music, not great with movies

    This sound bar is unusually clear with music. The sound is very clear, with no perceptible background buzzing, interference, etc. The subwoofer backs it up with some gentle bass. I've been chilling and jamming more and more since I got it. If you want a sound bar for music, it's perfect. On the other hand, with movies I've noticed the voices are a little quieter sometimes, not sure why. Overall very good purchase. One thing you all should know is that it doesn't connect wirelessly to anything other than a fellow samsung brand smart tv. Otherwise it can connect via optical cable, hdmi, and audio 3.5mm jack.

    Great sound for a reasonable price

    Low profile bar fits under my Samsung TV which swivels. You have to experiment with sub woofer placement. Suggest placing the sub in a corner at a 45 degree angle (bass port facing the corner). Nice remote with several sound settings for bass, treble, sub, and different surround settings. Clean look and integrates perfectly with universal remote. Very happy.

    Buy the optional HDMI ARC cable...

    Easy setup with my Samsung TV, basically plug and play. There is a big difference in sound between the optical cable and HDMI ARC cable when setting up, a deeper and more overall better sound is produced. Invest in the HDMI cable, it's worth it.

    Very good system for the price!

    This is a great soundbar for the price. The bass is deep, the sound is rich. You could spend a lot more to get a little better sound, but if you are a TV & movie viewer, on a budget, who wants better sound than your TV speakers give, this is for you. Setup was simple, plug it in & run the (included) optical wire from your TV to your soundbar. The wireless subwoofer automatically links up when you turn it all on.

    Poor sound

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this item (Samsung HW-J450) and the LG LAS450H because I couldn't decide what to buy. To keep this review short the sound of the LG is way better then the Samsung while the sales person said they're quite equally. No, they are not!! The LG sounds much louder and clear (while the LG is only 220W in stead of Samsung 300W) Other point to take in consideration. The LG works immediately with my Samsung TV so I could still use my Samsung TV remote control, to adjust the sound, while I had to use the soundbar remote control from the Samsung to control the sound. Perhaps a matter of configuring?? Hence, do you want to enjoy good and much louder sound buy definetely the LG LS450H.

    Bought this system open box. System works great. Only complaint was that in instruction came with it, which made set up a little more difficult. You would expect that the staff in charge of repackaging would make sure that everything is included in the box

    I would recommend this product to anyone who purchases any Samsung HD TV it was easy to assemble and set up but too many options for set up method i.e. Fiber Optic or HDMI is all that's really needed.

    This Soundbar is amazing

    I have been meaning to review this so that people can benefit from this great system. I bought this while my receiver that I had bought previously was in for repair as a spare unit. I have enjoyed it so much that I haven't even hooked up my receiver to date. What I really like is the dialog sound. I never noticed how bad dialog sounded through my small center speaker hooked up to my receiver until I got this. Now I can hear everything that people are saying. It is still good for sports and movies as well. If you are shopping around I was recommended this version over the Sony model due to the superior sound of this unit. Enjoy!

    Sound quality is good for the price. Definite upgrade over TV set speakers. Set up and wall mount installation was simple.
