I was in need of a new sound bar for my smart TV. I researched, read many reviews and decided to purchase the Samsung. Great price, sound, with special effects! This product is made of metal to give it that modern sleek look. You have both optical and HDMI connections. Sound quality is so amazing you will think you’re at the movies! In order to use TV remote you must hook up with HDMI cable. I have LG TV, go to settings, external devices, sound-bar. The sound-bar will now come on with your TV and you can adjust the volume. If you have a Samsung TV it will easily pair to use one remote. These sound-bars often go on sale and you can use your Best Buy rewards points towards purchase. Trust me buy it you will not be disappointed! This was not a promotional product it was purchased with my hard earned money!

Works well and seamless while using eArc HDMI. Clear mids and low for movies and powerful bass for what you pay.

After sitting boxed for almost half a year waiting out a home renovation, I finally unboxed it and mounted it under my 70" Samsung last weekend. It came with the optical cable but go with HDMI ARC instead. It plugged in seamlessly with the TV and Firestick Max. Sound is booming, even on low settings. The subwoofer's bass was more than plenty for my living room. For under $150, it's a tremendous value.

I did a lot of research on which exact model to get. I ended up choosing this one based on the total RMS wattage output for this one and given the price point. I’m more than happy. It fills up our lounge like we’re in the cinema. Very crisp, clear, and wholesome sound and it does not lack at all on the bass. Super happy!

I am really enjoying how well this model sounds. This is my 4th model to try out. I was having problems finding the bass sounds I was looking for in a product. This one was on sale which made things much easier as well. Remember like most all electronics you mostly need to tweak your internal settings. I googled on youtube and found many other options that improved the sounds I was looking for especially in the bass dept. The only thing I want to try next is adding the rear speaker option. Remember that these soundbars are model specific for adding your rear speakers. The swa-9100/ or swa-9200 wireless speakers are the 2 I found for this model. This should create a more surround sound for the movies. Best Buy has always been my best option.

I bought this to replace a non functioning Polk soundbar. I bought a Polk soundbar a few years ago. It never stayed connected to my TV via HDMI/Arc. I hate my TV speakers and needed a better solution. I figured this was Samsung, the TV is Samsung, It has to work. SO I plug it all in, temporary. Worked on first startup. SO did the Polk. Used it a couple weeks and connected every time I turned the TV on. Excellent. SO I run the wires in the wall, mount the speaker, I am very happy. Its not Home Theater/Shake the walls good, but it sound perfectly acceptable. I dont use it for music via bluetooth, despite having the capability.
In summary. Stayed connected to my TV, works every time. Sounds very good. I am very happy with it

Extremely satisfied with this tiny soundbar …. Just wanted something small for the bedroom but you get more with this bar. Suprised that this 2.1 comes with 410 watts of power. It has a very sleek look and works well with samsung tvs.
