    Got this on sale a couple months back to upgrade my older Samsung sound bar. I wasn't sure about getting another Samsung because the last one didn't have that thump in the subwhoofer, but this one does! Lots of adjustments you can make to the equalizer. Pretty awesome.

    For the price I would definitely recommend, it’s going on 5 years strong without any issue, all I do is use my phone to turn it on and play my music, or when I’m watching a movie or when I am playing games!

    Got this item because of the price and known brand. However the sub-woofer kept cutting on and off although it was in clear view of the sound bar. Also, the blue-tooth stops working after moving 2 meters away from soundbar. Carried item back the next day for the JBL brand no issues since.

    For the price, this is a great sound bar! It's definitely loud enough for a medium size room and plenty of BASS! I would definitely recommend! It also works great as a blue tooth speaker, turns on with a Samsung TV automatically!

    Worked great with my new Samsung tv. Fairly easy to hook up , a vast improvement over tv speakers, just what l was looking for . If you are looking for high end surround system you may be disappointed . Did add voice clarity and volume with added bass.

    This model soundbar and subwoofer are pretty impressive. It's a thousand times better watching broadcast shows and Blu-Rays with this soundbar and subwoofer. The Samsung 55 in. tv speakers are brutal. I have been pleasantly surprised by the sound quality.

    Overall a great looking and sounding product. There are times that it seems as though it sounds hollow depending on the programming. It gets as loud as you could ever want it to, plus it can connect wirelessly to your phone and a compatible Samsung TV.

    Really great sound. Only problem I had was a loose fit on ge optic cord that goes from soundbar to tv. We can basically only use it as a blue tooth stereo due to this issues

    I've had this soundbar for a good month now and i have to say it really improved my tv and gaming experience a ton compared to my samsungs stock speakers. Amazing sound and a good price, I'd recommend this to friends for sure.

    We listened to just about every soundbar combo around this price and nothing else compared. I love Sony products, but the sony soundbar that's in the same price range as this was literally only a quarter as loud as this one.

    Highly recommend this soundbar. Don't get the 450 series because that basically making your tv speakers louder without performance. The 550 series will blow your mind! The clarity and base are amazing! Highly recommend

    It's OK. I'm not sure I'm getting much value out of having the separate subwoofer behind us (on the hardwood floor, in a corner, not obstructed by furniture), as I only very occasionally hear any sound from it (and I sit nearest that corner). The sound quality from the bar itself (the tweeters, presumably) is hardly better than what's built into our Samsung flat-screen TV (very good sound). I was hoping the sound bar and subwoofer would make it easier for my wife to discern voices during movies and other programs with lots of music, but (if anything) it's had the opposite effect. I mostly use this system when I'm viewing a "big" movie by myself. ¯\_(°–°)_/¯
