Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nice quality of sound for what you're paying for, a lot of issues with over heating, shutting itself off , sometimes when I'm 20 minutes into the movie, sound bar randomly shuts off :(

After couple of month of purchase we’re having trouble. It’s disconnecting over night and we need to turn it on with the control or on the power bar. It’s getting frustrating and I don’t thing that’s normal. It shouldn’t be doing that.

I thought this would be a good plus for our home, once we have the HW-T510... and it is super nice. BUT....but, this HW-B650/ZA volume, specially bass, sounds like 70% of the 4 years old soundbar. The subwoofer has only 45W. Comparing to the old one 55W you should see. Definitely disappointed ... and if you really want to try, at any BrandsSmart they are selling it for $199... no membership required. DISAPPOINTED!!!!

The sound bar itself is good, however the customer service and the description of the product was disastrous!! I got a Open Box in "EXCELLENT" condition. According to Best Buy, this means that it just like new and comes like new and everything is new, just that the box was opened. I received this in WAY LESS THAN POOR CONDITION. there was a rip in the corner of the subwoofer, scratches all over the entire thing and IT DID NOT HAVE A BOX AT ALL!

Good sound quality and pretty easy setup except the subwoofer took several attempts to connect to the sound bar. Regardless, my husband was happy with his Christmas present.

Now the lips line up with the sound!!! Didn’t know how bad it was until we got our new sound bar! Works great!

Great sound its like I'm in the theater when watching movies. Paired with 75" Samsung TV

I love this soundbar. The sounds is awesome. I will recommend to my friends and family

It is a very good soundbar and the sound is very clear very good quality

I tried writing a reciew on this but the best buy app sucks. This sansung sound bar is not loud or strong engough. Only when music is playing through it at volumn 100. I am using the optical cable and set up everything correctly. It is just garbage for the price. The tv speakers are louder than the bar. Avoid.

it sounds super good very good, I made an excellent purchase

The sound coming out of it is so strong and great.

I recently upgraded to the Samsung HW-B650/ZA 3.1 Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer, and I can confidently say this is one of the best tech purchases I’ve made. I was looking for a soundbar that could bring movie nights and gaming sessions to life without the complexity of a full surround setup – and this one delivers in every way. The setup was super easy – just plug it in and go. The sleek, minimalist design fits perfectly under my TV, and the wireless subwoofer adds serious bass without adding clutter. It looks and sounds premium. What truly impressed me is the sound quality. The dialogue is crystal clear, the bass is deep and punchy, and the DTS Virtual:X feature creates a surprisingly immersive experience. Whether I’m watching a thriller, listening to music, or playing on my console, the sound adapts to the content automatically with the adaptive sound mode – it’s like having a smart audio assistant. My favorite feature? The Bass Boost button. One tap and the whole room feels alive – great for action scenes or parties. Even at higher volumes, there's no distortion, just pure, rich sound. For the price, this soundbar absolutely overdelivers. It feels like a premium home theater system without the hassle or cost. If you’re looking for the best soundbar under $250, especially one with Dolby 5.1 and DTS Virtual:X, the Samsung HW-B650/ZA is the way to go. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants great sound and a simple, powerful upgrade. Samsung nailed it with this one!

SO FAR IS BEEN THEBEST CHOICE FOR THE SAMSUNG SOUNDBAR FOR MY SAMSUNG TV,

So i was hesitant to pick this up as I saw several reviews that said this didn't have enough bass, boy were they wrong!! This system KICKS and has great bass on all levels to provide a good punch for music and movies. Of course, it's no $1500 Sonos system but it holds its on, and if you live in a Shared wall condo like I do this is perfect (and I love bass) The good: -The sound is clear, especially with the center channel you get all dialogue and background sound. -Bass Hits (lows, mids, highs) and I have the sub set on 4/6 -Super easy to set up and get going -Bluetooth range is good and still has good quality as wired The Bad: - Buggy, the sound cuts on the subwoofer every couple of hours for a few seconds (common issue per Reddit) - The channel randomly changes from TV Arc to HDMI with no sound and I have to cycle around again -The subwoofer has a loud humming/negative feedback noise if you stop playing music or movies (especially on Bluetooth) (common issue per Reddit) -The remote feels super flimsy, especially the volume up button feels like it's going to fly off (common issue per Reddit) Overall its great, but these bugs are making me want to take it back. If I paid the full MSRP it would have went right back but the sale price has me debating.

Hard to use, had to buy a simpler one. Was gard to process a replacement. After 2 hours got it done

Oh boy, where do I even start with this Samsung soundbar? It's not just a soundbar; it's a musical masterpiece, a comedy central, and a conversation starter all rolled into one sleek package! First off, the setup was smoother than my dance moves at a wedding. I had it up and running in minutes, and it didn't even make me break a sweat. Unless you count the dramatic reveal as I unboxed it, cueing a triumphant "ta-da!" just to impress my cat. Now, let's talk about sound quality. It's so clear that I could hear my neighbor three houses down telling their dog to stop barking. I think my soundbar can hear my thoughts too. The bass, oh the bass! It's so deep it had my pet fish thinking he was on a rollercoaster. If it weren't for the handy remote control, I'd have to dial it down to prevent an aquarium catastrophe. But the real gem of this soundbar is its "Virtual Surround Sound" feature. I swear I could hear the dramatic sigh of relief from the actors when I turned it on. It's like they're right here in my living room, critiquing my choice of snacks during movie night. Now, for the party trick: it connects to my phone faster than I can say "Siri, tell me a joke!" I never thought I'd be dancing with my soundbar on a Saturday night, but here we are. My guests were blown away by the sound quality, and the conversation quickly devolved into a debate over whether we were watching a movie or actually in the middle of an action sequence. If I could, I'd marry this soundbar and have little speaker babies. All in all, this Samsung soundbar is a game-changer. It's so entertaining, you might even forget to watch what's on the screen. And if you're ever in need of a laugh, just ask it to tell you a joke – it's got a better sense of humor than my Uncle Bob. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with this gadget; it's a symphony of laughter in a sleek, black box.

I researched for a long time in the $100-$200 range and could only find 2.1 systems. I went to Best Buy to try and listen to some. I found that you should NEVER go with 2.1 (which means only 2 speakers and 1 woofer). The 3.1 is the bare minimum for me because dialogue and voices just sound so much richer with the third (center) speaker. The B650 is amazing and the woofer adds so much to your listening experience. The setup is very easy with an HDMI cable and the woofer connected instantly. Minimal instructions and the remote offers some really good features. I keep the sound mode on "adaptive lite" and its incredible. You can switch from heavy bass music, to a youtube video, and then a movie and the sound is very balanced. For $279.99 this thing is a no brainer and the wall mount is super easy. Shell out the extra cash for a 3.1 if you can afford it, and you can upgrade it down the road to a 5.1 without having to buy a whole new system. Otherwise stick with your tv speakers instead of getting a cheap 2.1.

Don’t know how I ever watched tv without this!!! Amazing sound!!! Easiest set up ever. Plug in and it’s ready to go. I use it as my Bluetooth speaker for music as well and the sound is just amazing.
