    For the price its a great quality sound bar. Its lacking Alexa support but made up for it with other features such as bluetooth and wifi connection. Decent base and overall sound quality is 8/10. My other sound bar is q700 which has Alexa support and Q symphony which i dont use. So if you dont care about these features then this one is great choice

    I chose this after much research for my bedroom TV. I wasn’t looking for home theater quality. I was looking for improved sound over my TV speakers. What I got was exactly that. Much improved sound over what was produced from the TV. The setup couldn’t have been easier. I used the HDMI Arc connection from the TV to the HDMI Arc connection on the soundbar and connected my Apple TV to the HDMI in port on the soundbar. Turned on the TV and it worked flawlessly. The subwoofer was just as easy. Placed it in a back corner of the bedroom, plugged it in and it worked with no fiddling around with configuration. I won’t say that the sound rivals or is even close to my 7.2 dedicated home theater system in my living room but it wasn’t intended to. For my needs it exceeded my expectations. The only con is the mounting system to the wall. It’s very simple and a template was provided that made it easy to drill the required two holes perfectly. The issue is that it appears to sag just a little. I fixed that by putting two very small rubber wedges between the bracket and the wall at the bottom. It lifted the soundbar just enough to make it level. Overall, this was a good buy for what I needed and would recommend.

    Love the soundbar, it sounded so good in our bedroom that we bought one for the living room too. Simple setup, easy to use, works well with the TV we have, and has several different preset sounds that work well with music and movies.

    Impeccable Sound System

    The Samsung HW-A650 sound system produces copious amounts of clear, quality, room-filling sound - even at low volumes! I listen to a lot of music and find that the DTS Virtual:X surround sound is the perfect digital enhancement to the soundtracks of life. With the center channel, I can here sound I can't hear in stereo. Whether it be streaming music, vox from the local news or thunderous sound effects from blockbuster films, you cannot go wrong with the HW-A650. I am highly satisfied with this purchase and recommend the Samsung HW-A650 sound system for my fellow audio aficionados.

    I purchased this along with the rear speakers for my parents medium sized living room. It sounds amazing and fills up the room perfectly. I paired it with a 55" Samsung smart tv and there have been absolutely 0 issues with connection or lag! It sounds great playing action movies and music. I think it's a perfect setup for those who don't want to spend a ton but want a nice surround sound system. Definitely recommend buying the rear speakers to compliment it!

    Very good sound and flexible adjustments. It replaces a Bose Solo 5 that does a terrible job of playing Dolby Vision soundtracks. Movies from Apple TV + and Disney + sound like a true theatre. The sound is expansive but lacks the discrete localization of a true 5.1 system but nonetheless is quite engaging. BT music streaming from iPhone is really nice as well

    We purchased the Samsung 3.1 Channel sound bar with sub woofer for our new Samsung TV in our new sunroom. It really has a wonderfully full sound quality and adds so much richness to the sound.
