I would recommend this to a friendNot my dream system
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little underwhelming with the sound quality and volume level. Overall pretty decent quality and build for what I spent. I should have waited and made more of an investment in a more robust system oh well.

Posted .Hello there,
Your soundbar features powerful bass with a 6.5” wireless subwoofer & Adaptive Sound which optimizes the sound based on the content.
You can try adjusting audio performance to your liking by pressing the SOUND MODE button on your soundbar remote, and then selecting the desired sound effect by choosing, SURROUND SOUND – BASS BOOST – GAME – ADAPTIVE – DTS VIRTUAL:X – STANDARD
You can also press the TONE CONTROL button 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 between -6 to +6 by toggling the button up or down. To set the subwoofer volume level to 0, press the button down.

Just above average
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as loud as my other older Samsung unit and woofer even at +6 is pretty muted
I would recommend this to a friendGood quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far soo good. I may cannot use my tv without this speaker.
I would recommend this to a friend6.5
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.From 1 to 10 good 6.5 good but not good enough. How much does it cost? It's good.
I would recommend this to a friendIt’s OK, but not as impressive as I had hoped.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s ok, but doesn’t get as loud or sound as great as I had hoped. It’s only marginally better than my TV speakers, and that is only due to the deeper bass sound of the subwoofer.

Samsung - HW-B650/ZA 3.1ch Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I currently have the Samsung 2 Channel soundbar. I have a hearing disability and having trouble hearing with the 2 channel sound bar. They recommended going with the Samsung 3-channel sound bar, he said, "it would be the difference of night and day". It was a little better but not to that degree of night and day. Disappointed.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent survice and merchandise Thank you very much!
I would recommend this to a friendehh..
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's decent for the price. But, I regret not doing more research. It's not loud enough, not bassy enough, and not clear enough. If I could do it again, I'd just have spend a few hundred more on a sound bar that I would have been happier with. I wish Best Buy had an actual real life demo of the soundbars they sell. I would have easily spent twice or more as much to hear something I was satisfied with. - That being said, if you can only afford $250, it's not terrible. Just leaves me wanting more.
