    Extremely pleased with this soundbar! It compliments my new smart TV. Very powerful in sound and yet small in size which is a plus when limited in room space. Again very pleased

    5.1 sound from a soundbar! Left and right channels very distinguishable due to Acoustic beam technology. Only wish there were separate controls for the center and left ,right channels. Good Bass!

    For the price, you get an attractive speaker that plays clear sound with good bass. I wish there more sound mode options to improve voice sounds in some cases. Worth the money and would recommend!

    My first impression is that this is a great sound bar. However, I do find that the bass in the music seems to somewhat overwhelm the talking. Having said that, I am still happy with my purchase.

    The sound quality is good to very good, but not excellent. We aren't currently using the Game feature. A Samsung Smart TV should have made this effortless, but no such luck. Don't lose your controller!

    Good speaker to match a Samsung tv. Connects wirelessly with ease. Surround sound sounds like surround sound. Feel it should be louder with the advertised output. Otherwise does what it should.

    Quality Sound, But Low Volume

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

    This sound bar has great, full, quality sound, but the volume has to be turned up pretty high to be able to hear a lot of it. I expected better volume and options for this price point. In gaming mode, it's great. Not so much in standard or surround. Also, the lack of a music "sound mode," as it appears this soundbar is very limited in modes, is a huge let down for me. I do enjoy using my sound bars for music as well. The "D-In" function for connection isn't quite what I expected. I'll switch to HDMI and, if it's any better, I'll update this review.

      Drigo:

      Thank you for purchasing this Samsung HW-N650 Soundbar System. I am sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with its low volume.

      Please check the connection between the Soundbar and other source devices, and try the following tips that may help improve the volume level.

      1. Check the source volume. For example, if connected to a mobile phone using Bluetooth, increase the volume on the mobile phone.
      2. If the Soundbar is connected to a TV thru HDMI, make sure to use the HDMI-ARC jack on the TV and select “External speakers” as the TV sound output.
      3. Then check the TV for the audio output format sent to the Soundbar. Typical options are PCM, Dolby Digital, and Bitstream. Select the option that optimizes the sound from your source.
      4. Change the SOUND MODE on the Soundbar by using the Soundbar’s remote. Select the appropriate mode for the individual room acoustics.
      5. Turn on Dynamic Range Control. This is done by pressing and holding the SOUND MODE button on the remote control while the Soundbar is in standby mode.

      I hope these tips help to enhance your audio enjoyment.

    It has good sound. Easy to hook up. This model does not have bluetooth. Honestly, we didn't think about it until after we got it home, but wished it did. For the price it's a good deal.

    Great soundbar w/o the bass

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

    The soundbar itself is AWESOME. It provides the clarity of even whispered conversation you would expect from Samsung. However, the included Subwoofer lacks in every sense. The bass is BARELY audible.....it is not even noticeable when touching the subwoofer. Although, the user may adjust how much bass the sub puts out.....the OEM (Samsung) preset of how much bass one can achieve via the manual selector. And the diminutive size of the sub does not help matters. I returned the product the following day and replaced it with the Polk Magnifi Max instead - the sound output on the sub is far superior. I am very happy with the Polk soundbar performance so far.

    Picked this up during a sale. They had it for the same price as the 3.1. I recommend this model as the audio is clear and the bass is deep and consistent from the subwoofer.
