We needed something to boost the sound from our cheap LCD TV in the living room. After looking at a number of different soundbars, I settled on a Samsung because of name recognition and my son has 2 of them on his TV's. I also purchased the satellite rear channel speakers at the same time. Setup was very simple, the wireless sub connected immediately upon plugging in the AC line, however the satellite speakers were a little harder to get to pair up. The manuals for the soundbar and satellite speakers could be a little clearer that the remote buttons for volume and subwoofer actually press in (to allow access to setup menus) as well as toggle up and down. Overall the sound is good from the system, however, as most people will attest, it could do with a little more bass, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. But for the setup I wanted this for, it's perfect and it supplies the all the volume we need for the room. I would absolutely buy this again for this setup. I would recommend you thoroughly examine your current setup and devices you have attached to your TV. Some models out there have more than 1 HDMI input, making it a simple thing to plug in your X-Box or Playstation, your Chromecast, your Blu-Ray, etc. For my setup I have to run the X-Box and Chromecast into the TV and then connect the TV to the soundbar via the optical digital cable. YMMV.

I bought both the Soundbar system as well as the back speakers. It was extremely easy to set up. I have a 65inch Sony XBR TV and had no problem in syncing. The back speakers quickly synced with the blue tooth connection too. Sound quality is excellent for the price and I highly recommend it to the non-geek like me

It has great sound. However I cannot blast it all the way due to my neighbors in a town house but it is awesome and the base is great. I went with out the soundbar for a year. It does make a difference. Might be thinking next add another speaker. It was a great price during the Black Friday. It also hookup right away to my samsung TV

Who'd a thunk that you could get this kind of sound for under 300 clams... I have audiophile equipment from the 90's that cost more than 30 times the money and it would be rivaled.
Vase shaking base, brain piercing trebles, and clarity that is truly amazing especially at this price point.
It took all of ten minutes to bolt it to the wall and connect to the TV (Samsung QLED). The only drawback is that when using the optical inputs you can't control the volume with the TV remote, which is pretty stupid, but, switched to the HDMI and everything is fine.
My wife thinks I'm a genius....

Typical dudes, my buddy and I went at the set-up without the use of the instructions. We were successful but only after a few hiccups. Read the instructions, paying attention to all the details. The soundbar disappears in front of my 55" Samsung and the woofer is hidden inside a screened cabinet underneath. The sound is great. I have one nit and it is entirely possible it has nothing to do with the soundbar. I use Bluetooth for connectivity and every so often I have to "reconnect". No big deal.

Our old Samsung soundbar just suddenly stopped working. What a difference a soundbar makes, after 2 weeks I decided to order a new one. The Samsung 5.1-channel 360W system with 6-1/2" wireless subwoofer. I have to say this is an upgrade to a previous one, the sound is amazing. There is more sound (speakers) in the soundbar, the subwoofer is a little smaller, yet packs a deeper sound. We are hearing more of a theater sound, I believe I am more happy and excited then my hubby. So easy to set up, if I can do it, so can you. This one I did pick up the warranty, and plan on seeing about having our other one fixed. Happy again for 2 weeks so far!!!

THE BEST SOUND! Bought this open box and nothing was wrong with it. Got it for 150 off! Best Buy has the best open box deals. This sound bar is amazing. It takes the room into the equation and makes the sound come from above and behind you, even though there are NO SATELLITE SPEAKER! No cords behind your couch, which is great because my couch is in the middle of the room. All the 5 channels come from the soundbar. Amazing tech! Lastly, my Samsung TV configured this soundbar through the cord. Just plug it in and Samsung does the rest. So easy!

Very easy setup and I recommend to use the HDMI cord ARC setup on surround mode to connect to the TV although wireless or digital optical was possible. Wireless sub-woofer automatically paired with the soundbar, as did the Samsung wireless rear speakers which I added to this system. Purchased on sale and I think a great value for the price. Sounds way better than the TV speakers which weren’t that bad.

I’ve been very happy with this sound bar setup. I got it on Black Friday for a great price that made it well worth the money. The sound quality is great and when paired with a Samsung smart tv it is extremely simple to use. You literally plug the bar and the sub into the wall, plug the optical cable into the bar and the tv and you’re done. The tv and sound bar immediately recognize each other and the sound bar comes on and off with just using the tv remote or cable remote so the only time you need the sound bar remote is if you want to adjust EQ settings.

I’ve got a few gripes about this but first let me say the price is very reasonable. The sound quality is good definitely a bargain for the price. The Cons are 1) the wireless function even with a compatible Samsung TV seems to drop in and out frequently making a noticeable microphone type sound when it reconnects. 2) I would have preferred more inputs especially an extra optical.
3) The subwoofer seems a little timid compared to the Bose 3 piece I used to have.

This soundbar came complete with an optical audio cable, which I was actuslly able to use on my current setup. The unboxing and setup was a breeze. I just plugged all the cords in and the subwoofer connected to the soundbar right away without any issue. As I don't have a Samsung TV, I ended up installing the small feet, which allows the soundbar to straddle the tv stand without scratching anything. The dedicated center channel sounds amazing, even at the lowest volume and the subwoofer brings in all of the lows you miss out on with the factory TV speakers. It is not the top of their line, but I won't need to upgrade again now for quite some time.

I bought this as a replacement to another Samsung sound bar I bought. The previous one just crapped out all of a sudden fortunately it was still under manufacturer warranty. Enter Samsung -5.1 channel 360.
Set up was very easy and it connects seamlessly with my Samsung tv and am able to connect other devices to it via bluetooth.
the sleek design fits my set up very well and compliments the look am looking for.
Movie nights are always fun and different especially action movies blasting through those sub woofer.

I bought this system during Black Friday deals why the price was good for such a great product. I was going to buy a cheaper sound bar but once I heard this system at the store I knew I needed it. Once I got home it didn’t disappoint. The sub really bumps and you can also control its level for if the kids are sleeping. It’s clear sound and does feel like surround sound. I’m happy with the pick up

My wife has been asking for a sound bar for years and I finally found the right one for us. We've been doing our research for some time and with some additional help from an extremely knowledgeable assistant at the store, we chose this one. When the Black Friday sale came early, it was just too good to pass up. I'm not an expert on sound systems but this one was easy to set up and the sound quality so far (it's only been a few days) has made all the difference in the world. Definitely glad I took the plunge!

I got it on sale, so the price value is on point. I wouldn’t pay full price. It has really good sound, and paired with their surround speaker, which I also got for sale, it is a very excellent substitute for a surround sound system. It being BT, I can connect my phone and listen to music on those days I just want to relax. It does have a glitch wherein when I do that, it wouldn’t switch back to the proper input when I watch tv and have to manually switch back.

Amazing how a single speaker/subwoofer combo can change one's entire viewing experience. This unit transformed our TV room into a full surround-sound theatre.
Very impressed. It sounds as if there are speakers in all four corners of the room. Recommend facing the speaker toward a the closed end of the room for best experience.
Set up was a breeze. Sad we could only use digital audio cable with our TV, but nevertheless it's still a beast.
Highly recommend.

I was in the market for a soundbar and found this on black Friday deals. Couple it up with the wireless loudspeakers and this is good ! I tried a few sound bars and was initially looking for a dolby atmos soundbar. Even though it is not a dolby atmos the sound quality is superb and very nice ! The harmon kardon addition definitely makes the difference from other soundbars. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a nice value for money soundbar

I bought this sound bar because I had a tv where the speaker was dying. Compared to similar size models with just 2.1 channels, the sound blows the competition away! I’ve had this up and running alongside a new Samsung TV that is a perfect match! And a bonus $100 off for buying the pair was icing on the cake!

I exceeded my expectations in everything, from the installation, the sound is very natural, I do not give it 5 stars because three fourths saturates slightly. It is a good option for medium places that do not need a lot of volume. Another detail is that the lows are not well defined. To tell you the truth, I do not know who was wrong if Samsung with the audio system or Harmon Kardon with the speakers If I highly recommend them
