    Not bad for a sound bar/sub. At times it is a little muddy sounding depending on what you have it set for, but is far superior to the speakers in the TV.

      Hi PBJRR!

      Thank you for sharing your review of the Samsung HW-A550. We appreciate your feedback regarding the performance of your soundbar.

      You can try optimizing audio performance for your specific content by pressing the SOUND MODE button on your soundbar remote, and then selecting the desired sound effect by choosing STANDARD, SURROUND SOUND, BASS BOOST, GAME, or ADAPTIVE.

      You can also press the Sound Control button on the remote (looks like a gear) to adjust TREBLE and BASS.

      Press and hold the Sound Control button for about 5 seconds to adjust the sound for each of seven frequency bands.

      Using the WOOFER button on the remote, you can adjust the volume of the subwoofer to -12 or between -6 to +6 by toggling the button up or down. To set the subwoofer volume level to 0, press the button down.

      I hope this tip helps improve your sound experience. Should you need further assistance with features, functions, settings, or adjustments, please contact Samsung Customer Support at:

    This Samsung sound bar is the perfect match to my new 65” Samsung tv. The sound is much better using the sound bar, so I would call it an enhancement that is well worth the money. I had it installed by the Geek squad but it seemed like a simple install and setup. Thanks!
