Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently purchased the Samsung sound bar from Best Buy, and I can confidently say that it’s one of the best sound bars I’ve ever owned. The sound quality is exceptional, and the bass is perfect—providing that rich depth that truly enhances my audio experience. While I believe that song lyrics can never fully replace the immersive experience of a complete surround sound system, this sound bar has proven to be more than sufficient for my needs. I have it set up in my bedroom, and it surpasses my expectations. If you're looking for a great sound bar that delivers impressive audio quality without the complexity of a full surround system, I highly recommend this one!

I've had for a couple months now and I'm 100% pleased with this purchase. The sound is crisp and clear. The bass is very rich. Netflix titles with Dolby 5.1 are phenomenal. I have a shared wall so I like that I can disconnect the subwoofer if it gets too loud. I'm not a big fan of intense bass but I have dialed it in at the lowest possible setting and really enjoy it. I followed the instructions and set-up went smoothly. My only negative is the display. It is actually behind the perforated screen, making if difficult to read when setting up. Still a 5-star review for me. I highly recommend.

This soundbar has worked great for us. Setup was easy. We love being able to connect to it from our phones by Bluetooth so that we can listen to music while not watching tv.

I recently purchased the Samsung HW-B650/ZA 3.1ch Soundbar with Dolby 5.1 / DTS Virtual:X from Best Buy, and it has exceeded my expectations. The sound quality is impressive, providing a substantial upgrade to my home theater setup. The 3.1 channel configuration, coupled with Dolby 5.1 and DTS Virtual:X technologies, creates a rich and immersive audio experience. Whether watching movies or listening to music, the soundbar delivers clear and dynamic audio, enhancing every detail. Setting up the soundbar was a breeze, thanks to the user-friendly interface and clear instructions. The wireless subwoofer adds a punch to the low frequencies, filling the room with deep and resonant bass. The virtual surround sound feature truly adds a sense of spaciousness, making it feel like I have a complete surround system. The design is sleek and modern, seamlessly blending with my TV setup. Connectivity options are versatile, accommodating various devices through HDMI, optical, or Bluetooth. The included remote control is intuitive and responsive, offering convenient control over settings. One notable aspect is the adaptive sound technology, which automatically adjusts the audio based on the content being played. This feature ensures optimal sound quality for movies, shows, or music without constantly tweaking settings. Overall, the Samsung HW-B650/ZA Soundbar is a fantastic investment for anyone looking to elevate their home audio experience. It strikes an excellent balance between performance, design, and ease of use, making it a valuable addition to my entertainment setup. Highly recommended.

I really like that you can adjust the volume and from the bar and the sub separately. Depending on where you sit the effect is makes it feel more immersive. For the price, I dont think its the best, but the sound is good enough and loud enough to enjoy movie night.

The Samsung sound bar defintely improved the TV sound and was easy to hookup,a plus for non tech. I wish the user manual (sheet of paper) explained how all the remote functions worked and how to fully utilize them. All in all I'm glad I made the purchase.

Pro: set up is easy Dialogue enhancement and sound are good Plenty of volume Cons:would not work with 2 different HDMI cables and Samsung neo tv, had to use optical, Bluetooth works but sketchy Turns on but not off with comcast xfiniiyy remote have to turn off with separate remote

This sound bar works perfect with my new Samsung TV. It makes it a lot easier to hear all the sounds that you miss without it. It was fairly easy to hook up to the TV.

I recently purchased a Samsung soundbar, and it has exceeded my expectations. The setup was straightforward, and the sound quality is impressive, offering clear and immersive audio. The bass is robust, and the soundbar integrates well with my TV, providing a seamless viewing experience. The various sound modes allow for customization to suit different types of content, from movies to music. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality soundbar.

Purchased this to go along with my TV for the sitting area. High quality sound in a neat package that hides away in my entertainment center. I wish I could add another subwoofer as I’m a huge bass fan lol

Soundbar is a great quality and size. Fits perfectly on my TV stand and sounds incredible. Not only great for TV and movies, but gaming and music as well. Bluetooth is seamless and subwoofer adds a nice touch.

Excited to purchase this sound system for my home. A friend of mine has this exact system and it has exceptional sound and bass. What a great purchase.

Love the sound bar . It was easy to hook up and sounds great. It fit nice under the tv and didn’t take up a lot of room

Excellent sound, turns my room into a movie theater with lots of bass.

From a music producer and audiophile - I recently moved in with my fiance into her smaller home. I was a single man for many years with a 7.1 Onkyo surround sound system. Combining my style with a woman now and preparing for a family down the road, having a 7.1 surround sound system with a ground-rumbling sub, clunky speakers and a massive receiver just isn't very feasible (I am saving it for a home theater in a bigger home one day, though!). In the meantime, I missed having good sound from our living room TV. Long story short, I went to Best Buy, and listened to *every* sound system on display. The Samsung HW-B650 was by far one of my favorites in the store. It's sound clarity and giving that feeling of surround sound stood out to me vs. the rest of the store. I decided to buy it and take it home! I love this soundbar. It's a massive improvement over the god awful speakers these flat screen TV's come with these days. While I don't feel these things will ever fully recreate what actual 7.1 (or 5.1) sound like, they come pretty close for being in a single soundbar. The many modes on it (especially surround and Virtual:X) are awesome. Whether it's video games, movies, TV, or music, this is a good all-around soundbar for everything. There's not many cons to it. The clarity is excellent, there's no distortion or muffling of the sound from this thing. I love the Virtual:X, but it also doesn't work great for everything, which would be my biggest gripe. Virtual:X doesn't always create the surround effect I want, and sometimes leaves the mix of whatever you're watching or listening to sound a bit off, like the EQ is just thrown off in exchange for creating the effect. The subwoofer is excellent, you can crank it up pretty cloud! I love that the subwoofer is wireless, too, I was able to tuck it away under a coffee table. Overall this is a great purchase. I think this is the best you can get in the $250-500 range. Make sure you get it on sale!

The sound is crisp and clear, especially with Dolby Sound switched up. Hooked it up w the HDMI on the TV and works seamlessly, no hassle of keeping separate remotes. The subwoofer has good lows and mids, pretty decent bass.

Good quality sound and a must for a TV. TV speakers just don't have the bass to enjoy big sound movies like this does.

Sounds great. Rear speakers are out of production, which is something I didn't consider. They had SWA 9100 and SWA 9200 speakers, but they don't produce them anymore. So if you want to add rear speakers later, don't buy this one. I initially bought it to pair with my Mom's Samsung television I had just bought, but it didn't fit. So I moved a Sony in there, and am using this on my TCL TV and they just sound awesome. And I was using the Sony Sound Plate before and there is a world of difference. I just wish they'd manufacture more rear speakers. Apparently, the 9250s and 9500s are NOT compatable.

I really like this soundbar. Sound quality is great and it has powerful bass. It is easy to setup and subwoofer connects automatically.

I’ve been very impressed with this product so far. The build quality feels solid and well-designed, and it fits seamlessly into my setup. Installation was straightforward, and everything worked as expected right out of the box. Performance has been smooth and reliable, with clear improvement over what I was using before. What I appreciate most is how well it balances functionality and design. It looks clean and modern while delivering consistent performance during daily use. For the price point, it offers great value and does exactly what it promises. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a dependable, well-made option.
