Nice upgrade from standard sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is good for the size and price. The subwoofer adds nice depth on movies and music. Bluetooth connects fast and automatically once paired. The system is a definite upgrade from my standard tv speakers and competes with some old bose floor speakers I play music on.

Awesome Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I set this up in a bedroom; the sound is a significant improvement over the TV, which was actually not that bad. It is certainly more than enough sound for the small room, and wireless sub is fantastic. Very easy setup with one exception...I did not notice the optical cable that came with the system, that I used to connect to my TV, had two very small covers on the cable ends...once I got them off, connected cables with no problems. Also have an X-Box and a Blu-Ray player connected. I purchased a 3-in / 1-out HDMI switch; one end into the soundbar and I plugged the bluray and xbox into the HDMI switch input ports. The switch automatically switches when I power on the devices.

Great Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's not "high end" but it gets the job done. Great sound, great look. No problems setting it up. Love the remote that comes with it. First thing I watched after installing was "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and felt like I was watching it in the theater all over again.

Great buy, when on sale!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar is awesome! I was able to pick this up for under $150 on sale before Christmas. The wireless Bluetooth sub woofer sounds and works great and the lightweight speaker bar very easily mounts to the wall with the included bracket. Honestly, had I paid the full price of $280 I would feel a bit cheated since this is essentially just an upgrade for the internal speaker system of a television. All in all I am more than pleased with this product at this sale price and would highly recommend picking it up when reduced.

Excellent Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been very hesitant to buy a sound bar. I've always been a full 5.1 surround sound guy. I took the leap of faith and I'm so happy I did. Easy to install. It sounds phenomenal. I'm so happy I bought it.

Great Soundbar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.purchased this for my older tv and could not use the wireless features, (the main reason why I purchased it, along with the best price any where). After I returned it my old tv died and I had to purchase a new tv which was a smart tv and this soundbar would have worked great with the new tv. I really want to purchase this item again but I have not found it priced as low as the price I paid when I purchased it the first time. Waiting for the price to drop so I can purchase it again.

Great sound!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is very surprising from the size of this system. Very easy setup. Well worth the money and even happier with the sale I caught for Black Friday.

Overall Pretty Good Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this item while it was on sale (Black Friday) and for the price, I can't complain. The product is aesthetically pleasing upgrading from an old 00's surround sound with 5 or so speakers drilled throughout the entertainment room. Sound Quality is satisfactory, but would be upset if I paid MSRP. I have no issue with Samsung quality so I plan on using this item for the next 5+ years and then upgrading (Although I did buy the warranty, because I am a sucker for warranties).

Great for small room space .
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound bar works very well and is a significant upgrade over the dismal speakers provided in some of today's LED TVs. I have an early model LED smart tv made by Samsung. It's a great sound-bar. It turns on when I power up the TV, volume and mute functions are controlled by the TV and appear on the LCD, and the Bar turns off when I power down the TV. The sound of the bar is very good. The Bluetooth feature works well and pairs with my iPhone quickly.

Works well enough for me, with a minor problem
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first sounder. Paired with a Samsung Smart TV (2015). Not looking for power, but better quality sound than the TV's sound. This bar does that. Very easy to install, nice, wire free setting. Also works great with iPhone and iPad, have not tried computer. Manual says an app must be downloaded for cell phones, which is not available in iOS, so I was regretting my purchase, but I just tried to connect via bluetooth without any app, and it works perfectly. The minor trouble is the following. The bar is smart enough to turn on when the TV turns on. But sometimes no sound comes out (from TV or sound bar). The solution is simply to restart the sound bar, so no big deal.

Easy Setup, Great Sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The setup for this soundbar was so simple! They provide all of the cables, so there are no hidden "extras" that need to be purchased. It even includes mounting hardware (which I didn't need to use). The wireless sub connects automagically to the soundbar and pumps out plenty of bass for my moderate sized family room. It's definitely not a full-blown 7.1 surround setup, but it's much simpler to setup, much less expensive, but the sound is amazing. Another nice touch to this is the LCD display. The display is simplistic, but perfect for the task. It walks me through the settings for Bass, Treble, Surround Mode, etc. It also displays what input I'm on. I also own a nice Vizio soundbar, but it uses lights to indicate these things instead of words. So it's confusing on the Vizio what input I'm actually on. So the display on this Samsung was a very nice feature that I never knew I wanted until I accidentally had it! We use this thing for all of our television audio and my kids and I will use to stream music from our phones as well.

The soundbar I needed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My main criterion for buying a new soundbar was the dimensions because I need it to fit on my fireplace mantle and under the TV without having to remount it. This was perfect for me, easy to set up and easy to use. The subwoofer is a separate speaker that works on Bluetooth, so it can be moved away to a convenient location. I had no trouble setting up the subwoofer either. I bought this soundbar based on my discussion with a Best Buy salesperson, and I appreciate the time and good recommendation he gave me.

Like the sound bar
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the sound bar. Definitely an easy way to add depth to your tv's sound. Good alternative if you already have a blue ray player and don't want to buy an entire sound system. Only down side is it has it's own remote and our universal remote doesn't work with it.

Great speakers, Sketchy Bluetooth
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, I will say that the sound bar and sub-woofer and are great for everyday listening. I use it for watching videos and playing games on my computer, and have it hooked up to my Xbox One as well. It handles games, videos, and music pretty well. I took off a star primarily for the sub-par input interface. The Blue-Tooth will skip after awhile and it will easily become a pet-peeve (for reference i have an Asus M51AD). I've kept all of my drivers up to date on my computer and updated the sound bar. The sound bar sits directly above my computer about a foot away. Running sound through the optic cable is the best way to go. I can run a cable from the sound bar to my Xbox One and it works fine. the 3.5mm auxiliary port does not transmit signal to the wireless sub woofer. I'm guessing this has to do with with surround sound output from my computer. It's annoying because if I don't route my computer's output through the Xbox One, then I do not get reliable sound (because the Blue-Tooth likes to phase every so often, and the Aux. cable does't transmit full sound) and I assume the USB port is for the updates. Over all, it sounds good and you should really use this with an optic cable. I've used another sound bar of a different brand and the Blue-Tooth worked just fine. I would recommend this objectively, if they plan on using the most reliable connection (the optic input)

Great Sound Bar!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this for our apartment so we could have good sound without disrupting out neighbors! We love it! It has great quality and the bass is enough for effect but not too much that the walls shake (unless you want to turn it up that high). Also love the blue tooth feature, I can connect my phone and clean with pandora on without having to buy a stereo system. Great buy!
