A Surprisingly Big Upgrade That Improved My Setup

I usually do not take the time to write reviews, but this product genuinely made a noticeable difference in my setup. The installation was smooth and simple, and everything worked correctly on the first try. The instructions were clear, which is something I really appreciated because many products fail at that.
In everyday use, the performance has been consistently impressive. The build quality feels solid and premium, and the design blends naturally with the rest of my space instead of looking out of place. The overall experience improved more than I expected the moment I started using it.
Several small details make this product stand out. It switches between inputs quickly without slowing down. Its automatic adjustments actually work as intended without needing constant tweaking. It also stays cool and quiet even when used for longer periods, which adds to the reliability.
If you are debating whether to buy it, this is one of those upgrades that feels worthwhile from the very first day. It does not just look better on paper. It actually makes your whole setup feel cleaner, faster, and more enjoyable to use.
I highly recommend it.

After 2 hours in the store testing all the soundbars (because the employees are clueless) and weeks of research, this one was a great buy. Affordable and sounds amazing. The woofer is very loud as well and rumbles on the deep bass and explosions. The remote did just stop working after 3 months, but Samsung has placed a warranty order for me and sending me a new remote.
would absolutely recommend, and the 3.1 is a great touch over the other 2.1s for similar cost. Many times, i find myself looking behind me to see where the sound is coming from, as it really creates that surround atmosphere.

This was my first experience with using a sound bar and I have to say I am very satisfied with this purchase and I got it for a great price. I've got it hooked up to a Samsung 75" Class DU7200 Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV and am very impressed with the sound quality. The bass is awesome and makes you feel like you are watching in a movie theater. If you are having any sound issues with your soundbar something else must be wrong because this thing would blast you out of the room. When I just have the TV speakers on I have to turn the volume up to 25 or 30 but when I turn the on the bar I have to turn it to 15 or below for it not to be too loud.
The installation of this bar could not have been any easier. Aside from running the wires in the wall to hide them it took me less than 15 mins to hang it on the wall. Connecting to the TV and my phone thru Bluetooth was also super easy. Now the plans are to purchase the available add on surround sound speakers. Best Buy I'll be back.

I'm very much into feeling as well as hearing music and movies so tv speakers alone won't cut it. Decided to get this model after several reviews and boy does it deliver. Got it on sale and it's my favorite bar to date. So much sow after purchasing initial unit for the bedroom attached to my Playstation 5 I purchased another for the living room. This thing thumps but the vocals during music are still sharp and clear. There's zero distortion on higher volumes and I can feel the bass thumping throughout the floor as well as the arm rest on the couch. The Dolby Atmos takes the music experience to another level and every purchase going forward will included it. Extremely easy to set up even for those not versed in electronics such as my wife and very simple remote. I like the small lcd display on the bar itself that tells you what sound mode you're in and volume level. Highly recommend and it brings movies to life like you're in an Imax theater. Playstation games sound in your face from across the room.

I initially purchased this Samsung soundbar to aesthetically complete the look in my living room by the purchase of our Samsung 85 inch tv a few months ago, so not really concerned about sound, but more about the looks and how both paired together in my living room. Boy, was I surprised! Just to note, I did do my due diligence in reading the printed reviews on this soundbar just to make sure I was making the right decision. Amazingly, all the reviews were glowing. I got more and more excited with the reading of each review, and basically made up my mind by the 8-10th review. That along with the price solidified my decision and couldn’t wait to get to Best Buy that weekend to purchase. The reviews were spot on! This soundbar is one of the best purchases I’ve made. The sound is so vivid and immersive that it’s unbelievable! The design is sleek and looks perfect in my living room. Whether my husband is watching movies, sports or playing on his PlayStation, the sound takes you in and immerses you in as if you were in a movie theatre. I wholly recommend the Samsung HW-B650/ZA 3.1 Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer -it’s a 10 out of 10 for us!!!

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.

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

I very pleased with my Samsung -l 3.1 Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer, Dolby 5.1 / DTS Virtual:X - Black. It makes everything sound so much better. The subwoofer intensity takes movie watched and music to another level. Great choice for a low end cost, worth it!
