    Walked into best buy to pick up a kinect for my Xbox one. Recently bought a Samsung curve TV, saw the Samsung sound bar and I decided to buy it. I was very pleased with the clarity and quality of the sound.

    Have had this connected to my Samsung TV for about a month now and have definitely enjoyed the improved sound quality. In particular, the improvement in the midrange and especially in the clearness of dialogue is great. My only negative is that I thought by getting the upgraded version with the larger subwoofer, I would have noticeable improvement in the lower frequencies. That has not been particularly better. However, considering the price and the much more expensive products out there, I consider it a good value.

    My only complaint is that sometimes it randomly is not connected to the tv and no sound comes out of it. That could be from little people pressing buttons, however. Overall - really great system and the sound is amazing.

    We had one of the older versions of their sound bar and this new one is GREATLY IMPROVED! The bass is so much richer and it sounds like you are at the movie theater! When you watch a movie and there's an explosion...it's almost TOO REALISTIC!!! Using bluetooth to listen to music from my iPhone , the sound is also amazing! Needless to say, we are thrilled with our purchase!

    This soundbar/ woofer fit the bill for delivering great movie sound to our living room when attached to our TV. It delivers just the right amount of sound without making the walls and windows rattle.

    The Samsung - 500 Series 2.1-Channel Soundbar with 7 Wireless Active Subwoofer sounds great and it was on sale when purchased. Geek Squad installed it to go with my surround sound. I am very pleased.

    For its price the sound is amazing and clear. Only concern I have with it is that I can't get it to work with my denon avr s900w for a replacement of my small sound bar to be utilized with my surround sound system.

    I bought this soundbar because the bluetooth pairing with my Visio soundbar was attrocious with my new 4K TV. This Samsung soundbar pairs flawlessly, although not exactly how you would expect. You don't actually pair it as a bluetooth device with the TV, rather you set the input on the soundbar to TV and then use the SoundConnect feature which will automatically pair the two as well as control the power on/off which is a nice feature. Overall it sounds great and looks great though. I appreciate the big easy to read display and love that it turns off after a few seconds so as not to be distracting. The bass isn't that great, and sometimes it doesn't sound very well blended with the rest of the noise, so I usually keep it turned pretty low.

    I would say this is a "good" soundbar only because the sound is not much better than my TV. It has a nice design and it's great that the soundbar and subwoofer are wireless, just wish it had the sound of Sonos or Bose.

    I love this sound bar when it stays connected to my Samsung TV. Very easy setup and can make my living room into a theater. Occasionally the signal to the TV gets lost so I have to reset the sound bar to reconnect.
