Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the soundbar's exceptional sound quality, describing it as crisp, clean, and loud. The easy setup process is also appreciated. The bass is impressive, adding depth to the audio experience. While some customers find the price to be a con, others managed to get a great deal on an open-box item.

    Open Box Gone Bad

    I’ve purchased open box before but this time it was a fail. Someone was slacking at work the day that box was supposed to be checked for missing items. Very disappointing.

    Clicking/popping sounds shortly after purchase. A cursory search reveals this is a common issue. QA is limited or non-existent.

    Easy setup. Sounds fantastic. Great upgrade from an older Vizio 5.1 system. Next up some rear Atmos speakers to round out the sound bubble!

    Dolby Atmos over WiFi sounds excellent

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

    This is a 5.1.2 soundbar, it has 3 front speakers with a dedicated center channel, 2 side firing, and 2 up firing speakers. It requires no HDMI cables to be connected to TV if you prefer, it supports Dolby Atmos over WiFi connection directly to the soundbar and it sounds excellent, do use the Smarthings app to update the firmware as it fixes some bugs. QSymphony works over the WIFI connection, Samsung’s documentation incorrectly states that this feature only works over a wired connection. Also the Dolby Atmos over WiFi works with 2021 and 2022 Q series Samsung TV’s . I have it connected to a QN90A 85” Samsung TV (2021) model and it does not disappoint, make sure you have QSymphony feature turned on so you utilize all TV speakers and the soundbar speakers for a larger soundstage. The 9500S wireless rear speakers can be bought separately and pairs nicely with this soundbar, it adds 4 additional speakers, 2 rear and 2 up firing Atmos speakers. With this addition, you end up with a 7.1.4 system. Also the soundbar has a metal grill, charcoal in color, no cloth like the 900A and 950A soundbar s from 2021
