1st sound bar! Love it! Super happy with this purchase

I would recommend these speakers to all my friends

Really good soundbar.................................

Works no issues got a great deal on it happy with purchase.

I've been having issues with it switching channels and turning my TV on and off, it's been in for repair 4 times now and they're saying I need to make adjustments to my TV settings so we'll see what happens when I get it back from repair. So far I'm not at all happy with it.

Sound bar is incredible! Sub not bad, but could be better.

Samsung has nice equipment however I expected more from the expensive bar speaker. I would really love to do a trade in for a more improved product. This sound system pairs nicely with your Samsung TV and is better suited for the beginner or first timer..

I was expecting more from this product but was quite underwhelmed by its performance. The product also had a major dent in it that was not there when I opened the box to examine the bar. Quite disappointed in this purchase experience.

Had high expectations for this sound bar. Just didn't meet my expectations. I realize it's only a sound bar but got no sense of surround sound or atmos effect. Don't think it's worth 1000 dollars.

The sound quality was not what we where think. You have to turn the audio way up to enjoy its features. At low volume it did not sound good at all.

The location of everything sucks at first i didnt think there was even a display for ur inputs like volume up or down but if u tip it upside down its actually in the screen

Not worth the time...overpriced, sound quality is below average, bass is horrible, and the only food thing about this was style....

I have enjoyed the sound performance of this excellent Samsung soundbar. I have a large TV that sits against a wall facing a large open room, and I find the sound quality for that setup to be amazing. To begin, it looks very nice. It feels very sturdy and has a fairly simply design. The unit has a black finish with brushed metal edges and rear. I have it sitting underneath my 65" TV, but I appreciated that it came with a wall bracket and associated parts for other setup options. It has some weight to it, but then again it has 13 drivers forming 7 speakers: 3 front, 2 wide, 2 upwards. The LED display on the front is located to the right of the soundbar, and shows all the usual data. The soundbar uses touch-sensitive buttons to control power, volume, and inputs. The remote feels very normal. The connection side of the soundbar is on the bottom, and includes 2 HDMI inputs,1 HDMI ARC output, optical input, USB port, the power connector, WiFi setup button, and the button for subwoofer pairing. All HDMI connections support 4K at 60p, HDR10, Dolby Vision, 3D, and HDCP 2.2. WiFi and Bluetooth are built-in to the soundbar; WiFi is controlled by the Samsung SmartThings app and bluetooth pairing was easy. In my experience, the subwoofer paired automatically and I had no issues with the pairing being dropped. Also, the subwoofer has an 8-inch driver on the side. The soundbar is tuned by Harman Kardon and supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS Digital Sound, and DTS-HD Master Audio. The soundbar speakers are supplied with 372W of power and provide frequencies from 34Hz to 17kHz. There are 3 sound modes: Standard, Surround Sound Expansion, and Smart. I always used Smart and thought everything sounded great. Yes, the soundbar will work with Alexa. Setup was very quick and simple, compared to other speakers. There are no microphone towers or anything complex for setup. I was quickly able to get to the enjoyment of listening to the sound coming out of this unit. Like I said, I have never heard better sound given the setup of the TV and soundbar within the room. There was a solid wall of sound that filled the room with complete range, and that applied to both TV, Blu-Rays, and music. Given the formats that this soundbar supports, the number of drivers and speakers, and the ease of use, I don't see much competition at this price point for a 5.1.2 system. I feel that this is simply an excellent sound bar.

The sound bar randomly switches to the TV Speakers. It does not sound like what it sounded like in the store. I am disappointed.

Right speaker was distorted, called Samsung they couldn’t get speaker into the test feature to inspect it so I brought it back

Having had a bit of experience with soundbars -I have one for every TV and even one for my PC, this is my first experience with one featuring Dolby ATMOS and DTX:X sound. Upon opening the rather large box it came in, I realized this thing is huge! It measures 48.27" x 3.27" x 5.35". It is also very heavy coming in at a whopping 20lbs! The build is typical of most Samsung devices; it radiates high quality. It features a dark metal grill chassis that is nice to the touch. It comes with a wireless subwoofer that is also large. It measures 8.01" x 15.75" x 16.36" and it weighs over 21 lbs. I was a bit worried about how it would sit in front of my TV, which is a meager 50” class. Well, I was not wrong. It certainly stands out quite a bit and goes beyond the width dimensions of my TV, but thankfully not beyond my stand. Visually, it bugged me at first. I could not sit or lay on the floor (which I do a lot) and watch TV because the soundbar would obstruct the view a little bit. Also, it makes me think that I probably need a bigger TV (which I do not). This soundbar comes with mounting gear but since I rent, I cannot mount anything on the walls except frames. Setting it up was a breeze. I easily connected it to my XBOX ONE X and my PS4PRO going through the ARC connection to my 4KHDR TV. They all work well except my PS4PRO, which I haven’t figured out how to make the HDR be recognized, which is a bummer. The remote is nice and it makes it easy to navigate between settings. Once I got past this I decided to concentrate on the most important aspect: Sound. I first tried using my smart TV’s feed, which is connected through the optical digital connection. The sound was outstanding! It came in very clear and loud; too loud in fact. I had it at 10% and it was way more than needed. Every sound was very distinctive, and the sound separation was easily noticeable (left-right-center). I played with several settings but ended up on SMART. Some soundbars drown vocals but not this one. The subwoofer, which I placed on the other side of the room, underneath a bench, gave a booming, powerful fulfilling bass that was not overwhelming and pristine. Next, I paired it with my Samsung NOTE 8 and played music. I thoroughly enjoyed the outcome. All frequencies -low, high and mids, were clear and did not drown or blurred each other. Every beat was punchy no matter the genre. Vocals and classical music were exceptional. Then I decided to test the selling point: ATMOS. I set up my XBOX ONE X for ATMOS output and the bar recognized it right away. To test it, I played a couple of titles from Netflix that feature ATMOS (unfortunately not many are available). At first play, I was immediately enthralled. The sound was AMAZING. Sound really seemed to come alive and excitingly from all sides. However, during extended listening and paying attention, I did notice that the ATMOS directional sound from the top was missing or barely noticeable. I raised the levels for the front up-firing speakers and it still was a bit hard to recognize. My living room is rather small and seemed like the perfect environment for directional-sound reproductions, so I was a bit underwhelmed. So I put in Ready Player One in 4KHDR which is one of the most recommended films for experiencing ATMOS. This time around, the over-head sound was much more noticeable -not as much as Samsung claims, but noticeable none the less. You almost feel like you are in the theater. I also played Gears of War 4, which features ATMOS and the direction of the sound was very well done. There were a couple of moments when the sound did make me turn around. My take is that ATMOS is highly dependent on the source material -some are better coded than others which can be hit-or-miss. One more thing, I bought the Samsung wireless rear speakers SWA-9000S which I did not factor in this review. I simply recommend them if you want a more complete experience -however, you must be willing to fork up another $100. In the end, I am very happy with the overall sound. Seems that Samsung made a great decision in pairing up with Harman/Kardon. Although the bar may be too big and ATMOS may not yet be ready technologically, this soundbar does provide a very unique experience -at a price. Not perfect so I'd give it a sure 4.5 if I could.
