The best soundbar ever
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best soundbar in the world so much bass and clarity
I would recommend this to a friend Great BUT...
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it to pair with my Samsung S90c OLED, and I was surprised how a Samsung product did not work so well with a Samsung product. It's great for music and action, but comes up extremely short for watching movies and TV shows that have a lot of dialogue. Voices are low, and easily get drowned out by other sounds going on in the scene. At that point it's better to use my TV speakers. From what I have read, switching the audio output channel from PCM to DTS Neo 2.5 helps. However, my S90c doesn't have that option. Only has the PCM channel and auto. Bummer because it has exactly what I was looking for. I don't plan on keeping the S90c in my living area, so hopefully my next TV works better with it. I will also keep reading on maybe a firmware update solving this issue on my TV side and or soundbar side. Honestly might be a return.

Good but not great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The soundbar sound quality is crisp and decent from the bar but is definitely lacking the bass in the subwoofer. I thought for a $400 price point it would have been able to push out a little more, it felt more like a $150-200 price range bar to me. If you get this on sale I would say its a good budget option. It also does not support Q-Symphony.
