    I purchased this speaker bar for a living room home theater setup. As an add-on to my 60' Samsung smart TV, the sound quality is perfect. The only issue I have with it is that, prior to purchasing, everything I read online assured me that this soundbar would connect wirelessly to my TV with Samsung SmartConnect... I was not able to get it to connect, and I had to use the included optical cable instead.

    So, I purchased this so that I could get better sound, then just the tv speakers, and it does the trick. The sound bar is pretty good and the sub in decent. I would recommend if you are looking for something decent to get without all the extra, bulky speakers.

    This audio system was very easy to setup and sounds great. no need to cut speakers into my ceiling or run cabling all over the room. the soundbar and subwoofer give me all of the power I need to truly enjoy my viewing experience.

    We searched sound bars all day long it seemed and although we wanted a higher end and more expensive system it just wasn't in our budget. We were told that what we were looking for in combination with our budget would be most closely achieved by this Samsung Sound Bar and that was a very correct claim. Our living room is very open and our ceiling very high so a lot of time pre-sound bar I feel like we lost a lot of sound to the room but this sound bar is great a projecting and almost sounds like surround sound in our home. The voices are clear, music is great too (very clean, crisp sound). Really love this product.

    I wanted some extra sound in our family room when watching movies, the sound is intense and sound incredible I love the blue tooth technology and the wireless sub woofer, I'm still learning about it but so far so good!

    Great sound packed in a smaller bar. Sub has good bass as well. SUPER easy to hook up. My better half enjoys streaming via Bluetooth as much as I could have expected!

    Have a 55" Samsung and Yamaha surround sound pushing Klipsch system. Center just wasn't "enough", so added the sound bar and wireless subwoofer, BANG, now the entire room rocks, 7.1 surround sound and twin subs.

    Overall sound is good. It's great with Movies above average on standard cable. Rated 4 as I feel the Bose system did have better bass albeit using a smaller bass port. I am hoping that the Samsung outlasts it's 2 year predecessor.

    I have looked into the Samsung soundbars for a while now. I was considering the 450 model, but the sound on the 550 was much better when I listened to them in the store. The subwoofer on the 550 is great too.

    We love this! I was impressed with the sound quality. My daughter (7) loves to turn it on when she's on her iPad usung YouTube to get "surround" sound. Sounds great when games are on too. This was a good buy.
