    3.1 is the way to go. This thing is a steal

    I researched for a long time in the $100-$200 range and could only find 2.1 systems. I went to Best Buy to try and listen to some. I found that you should NEVER go with 2.1 (which means only 2 speakers and 1 woofer). The 3.1 is the bare minimum for me because dialogue and voices just sound so much richer with the third (center) speaker. The B650 is amazing and the woofer adds so much to your listening experience. The setup is very easy with an HDMI cable and the woofer connected instantly. Minimal instructions and the remote offers some really good features. I keep the sound mode on "adaptive lite" and its incredible. You can switch from heavy bass music, to a youtube video, and then a movie and the sound is very balanced. For $279.99 this thing is a no brainer and the wall mount is super easy. Shell out the extra cash for a 3.1 if you can afford it, and you can upgrade it down the road to a 5.1 without having to buy a whole new system. Otherwise stick with your tv speakers instead of getting a cheap 2.1.

      Hi Griffin,

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung HW-B650 Soundbar with a dedicated center channel for crystal clear dialogue and wireless subwoofer for rich bass.

      Take advantage of the various sound modes available. Voice Enhance Mode optimizes the equalizer to maximize voice clarity. Night mode will lower the bass to prevent disturbing others while they sleep.

      Upgrade to surround sound by adding SWA-9100S Wireless Rear Speaker Kit to your soundbar. Our wireless surround package delivers 360° audio without the need to have wires around your living room. More cinematic and fewer messy wires.

    I recently upgraded my home audio setup with the Samsung HW-B650/ZA soundbar, and it has completely transformed my entertainment experience! Right out of the box, the setup was effortless, with multiple connectivity options, including Bluetooth and HDMI ARC, making it super convenient to pair with my TV. The sound quality is exceptional—crystal-clear dialogue, rich mids, and a powerful wireless subwoofer that delivers deep, punchy bass. Whether I’m watching movies, playing games, or streaming music, the Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X create an immersive surround sound effect that makes everything feel more dynamic and lifelike. I also love the Adaptive Sound Lite feature, which automatically enhances voices for clearer dialogue, perfect for watching shows with a lot of conversations. Plus, the Bass Boost mode is a game-changer when I want that extra rumble for action scenes or music. Overall, the HW-B650/ZA is an incredible soundbar for the price—sleek design, excellent performance, and user-friendly controls. If you’re looking for a high-quality sound upgrade without breaking the bank, this is definitely worth considering!

Setup is quick and painless, with Bluetooth connectivity working smoothly for both TV and music streaming. The soundbar has plenty of power for medium to large rooms, and the bass level is impressive without being overwhelming. While it doesn’t include rear speakers, the virtual surround processing does a respectable job filling the space. Overall, the HW-B650/ZA offers excellent sound quality, strong bass, and great value for the price—an easy recommendation for anyone wanting better home audio without the complexity.

    I couldn’t be happier with the Samsung HW-B650/ZA soundbar. The setup was quick and straightforward, and it paired seamlessly with my TV. The wireless subwoofer adds deep, rich bass that really brings movies and music to life without overpowering the room. The Dolby 5.1 and DTS Virtual:X features create an immersive surround sound experience that feels much bigger than a traditional soundbar setup. Dialogue is clear and crisp, even during action scenes, and the overall sound quality is impressive for the price point. For anyone looking to upgrade their home audio without breaking the bank, this is an outstanding option. Great performance, sleek design, and excellent value. Highly recommend!

    If you’re tired of cranking up the volume just to understand what people are saying on TV, the Samsung HW-B560 is honestly a breath of fresh air. It’s rare to find a piece of tech that feels this high-quality without a massive price tag, but this soundbar totally nails that "sweet spot" of affordability. The setup is a total breeze—the wireless subwoofer connects instantly, so you don't have a mess of cables running across your floor. Once it’s on, the difference is night and day; the bass has a satisfying punch that makes movies feel big, and the "Adaptive Sound" feature does a great job of making sure voices don't get drowned out by background noise. It’s not a flashy, thousand-dollar theater system, but it doesn't need to be. For a regular living room, it’s a massive, five-star upgrade that makes everything from Netflix binges to Sunday night football sound way more immersive.

    I’m absolutely thrilled with my new Samsung HW-B650/ZA 3.1 Channel Soundbar! The sound experience has been nothing short of incredible—crisp dialogue, deep bass, and room-filling clarity that brings everything to life. Watching a good thriller or action movie now feels like being right in the middle of the scene, and when Sunday football kicks off, the sound makes every hit, cheer, and announcer call feel like I’m in the stadium. The wireless subwoofer adds just the right amount of punch, and setup was quick and effortless. The Dolby 5.1 and DTS Virtual:X features really elevate the audio experience—clear highs, rich mids, and powerful lows that immerse you completely. It’s sleek, powerful, and fits perfectly with my setup. If you love movies, sports, or just great sound, this soundbar is an absolute win. Highly recommended!

The audio is clear and immersive, especially with the Dolby 5.1 and DTS Virtual:X support—movies and music come to life in a way my TV speakers just couldn’t match.

    My new Samsung TV is great but they kind of skimped when it comes to sound quality. The sound is acceptable but I wanted better sound when watching movies or music concerts. This soundbar with subwoofer really sounds good and since it is a Samsung like my TV the setup was super easy. I was up and running in only a couple of minutes. There are different modes, different sounds, different inputs and even bluetooth from n your phone.

    Great sound system, and great soundbar. The soundbar pairs seemlessly with the Apple TV that I am using and when I’m not watching tv it works as a nice speaker for the living room where my friends and I queue songs to get the night started. As for the sound, watching saving private ryan or any movie you feel immersed and can feel the bass.

    Fantastic sound quality and easy set up. We love the pre-set sound options (movie, gaming, music, DTS, etc. ). Clear voice is good. I turned down the subwoofer and increased the treble to get an even clearer voice recording for my husband who can’t hear voices will with background noise. It is perfect! Now we don’t need the volume set any higher than 10-12….it used to be 25-30.

    I am very pleased with my Samsung HW-B650 Soundbar and Woofer. The real test is streaming my favorite songs on Spotify in my Sony Bravia 75-inch UHDTV with Google TV connected to my Samsung soundbar. Samsung HW-B650 delivers excellent treble and bass frequencies. I haven't heard any distortion at very high decibels. The woofer also works great and delivers deep bass frequencies. Setup is easy with cable connections. The soundbar connects either optical or eARC. Both connection types work great. The remote is easy to use and the soundbar is also easy to change settings to your listening environment. This soundbar really delivers clear high fidelity sound that fills my living room. This soundbar is well made and not bulky like many others. I highly recommend the Samsung HW-B650 series.
