    Best Sound Bar!

    This is an excellent Soundbar for the price. I paired this with the Samsung 75" CU7000 (awesome TV). I wanted more sound as this TV is in our outdoor entertainment area and can get noisy during parties. We have a lot of people over during the holidays and we love to watch sports, Football, UFC, boxing and movies! I have an older Samsung 2.1 channel that I bought 4-5 years ago and this one blows it out of the water. There are different sound settings based on your TV and liking. We use the DTS virtual X, which provides crisp, clean sounds for the audible portion, but nice base and surround for an overall better result for your TV. The subwoofer is small and connects wirelessly. It makes all the difference in the world. We have seating in front of the TV but there is seating on the other side of the pool and you can hear the TV now so clear. I tested it the other night on the other side of the pool and the sound was amazing. Actually I'm worried it is too loud at night that it might be bleeding over to the neighbors. No complaints yet. I bought a mount from Amazon to mount it right under the TV and it works flawlessly. I can't be more happy about this purchase. If you're looking for a budget friendly soundbar, this is it. It was under $300.00 and well worth it.

    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 all my expectations. The sound quality is simply phenomenal, providing rich and immersive audio that brings movies, music, and games to life. The Dolby 5.1 and DTS Virtual:X technologies deliver surround sound that fills the room, making every listening experience truly cinematic. Setup was a breeze, and the sleek black design seamlessly blends with my home entertainment setup. Additionally, the Bluetooth connectivity allows me to effortlessly stream music from my smartphone or other devices. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this soundbar – it's a game-changer for my home theater system.

    I’ll be honest for the price amazing when you set up the trouble to five the base to four and then the subwoofer to six and you bring up the volume to say 65 sounds better than the last one I had and for the price of 250 ask for more and if you want more Spend 1500 then you’ll have something amazing

    I was very pleased with this Samsung sound bar and sub woofer system. We paired it with our new Samsung TV very easily and quickly. The sound quality is very good considering the smaller size footprint and inexpensive cost. Highly recommend!

    Overall I got what I expected. The one review I should have put more thought towards is the issue people had with the subwoofer. It is true. I can barely hear it at all when my ear is right up to it. Even with sound pumpin at higher than it should ever be, the subwoofer barely vibrates. The soundbar is great but what is the subwoofer even for if it can’t even compete with the soundbar at low volume or high volume. And by compete I mean being heard. Soundbar awesome and connection with my Samsung tv is awesome & no hassle.

    I bought this for my wife's 5 year old 75" Samsung, the speakers in which weren't that great to begin with, but had deteriorated to the point she was having trouble hearing dialog over musical score and/or action. The center channel in this system has fixed that problem for her. Beyond that, I have to say, this thing sounds pretty good for it's footprint. It doesn't compare to the Klipsch surround system we have, but it sufficiently fills our fairly large living room with rich vibrant sound and cost a small fraction of what the Klipsch system did. I bought this on sale, so I'm not sure it warrents the $400 price tag, but I haven't made enough comparisons to other models to judge that honestly. I'm happy with my purchase, and more importantly, my wife loves her new sound bar. I would definitely buy it again, but I would probably wait for another sale.

    Was a perfect pair for my new Samsung bluray tv (WOW that picture) the sound is awsome. Use the ARC feature. It honestly took me a minute to figure out the switches. The voice enhancement it crystal clear on that extra chanel. Bass booms on the Sub loud, my neighbor said, oops. I was able to transfer more bass to the bar and it punches hard not shaking the room. I do love some Sublime and Pantera and it does not dissapoint. Got em on sale and delivered it to me free. Ps.. i dont work for Bestbuy or Samsung. Just the average Steve

    This will be my very first soundbar. In that said, the soundbar was not working at first because I had difficulty understand the correct mode in order her sound, in that said , It was easily to merge into my tv with the Bluetooth enable. I kept getting sound bar feed back from the Tv and I figure I set it up wrong. But eventually all I was suppose to do was set the mode to DIN in order to be able to hear the sound. When I watch my movie , I thought I was in movie theater, I thought what I was hearing was behind me. I am exceptionably please with the sound bar so far. It was affordable and it make everything sounded louder, theater and the woofer make it sounded wonderful especially if you are a gamer like me.
