    Im very happy with my purchase. The soundbar sounds great and makes movies much clearer than just the tv speakers. The bluetooth subwoofer really packs a punch. I have mine setup to use the optical cable, as everyone should do. I havent had any issues so far with it. The option to pair a device using bluetooth is a huge plus as i enjoy listening to music while doing chores. My samsung tv remote can also control the soundbar volume though i cant verify it works with all tv models. Overall im very satisfied and i recommend purchasing this item if you want a budget upgrade from the built in tv speakers. If you are looking for actual surround sound, this isnt for you unless there are upgrades to this soundbar. I have not researched this as im not interested at this time.

    This soundbar was very easy to set up and connect to my Samsung TV! I love the sleek design, it's not bulky or distracting. I really like that the subwoofer is wireless, you can place it anywhere in the room. The sound quality is amazing! You can also connect your phone via bluetooth and jam out to favorite playlist.

    Samsung HW-B650/ZA 3.1ch

    I recently purchased the Samsung HW-B650/ZA 3.1ch Soundbar with Dolby 5.1 / DTS Virtual:X in Black, and I have been thoroughly impressed with its performance and features. This soundbar is a great addition to any home theater setup, providing an immersive audio experience that enhances my movie-watching and music-listening sessions. First and foremost, the sound quality of the HW-B650/ZA is fantastic. The 3.1 channel system delivers crisp and clear audio, with excellent separation between the left, right, and center channels. The subwoofer adds depth and impact to the sound, creating a rich and powerful bass response. Whether I'm watching an action-packed movie or enjoying my favorite music, the soundbar reproduces the audio with impressive clarity and precision. The Dolby 5.1 and DTS Virtual:X technologies further enhance the audio experience. With Dolby 5.1, the soundbar creates a surround sound effect, making me feel like I'm in the middle of the action. It truly elevates the immersion level and brings movies to life. DTS Virtual:X, on the other hand, provides a virtual height effect, giving the illusion of overhead sound without the need for additional speakers. This feature adds a sense of verticality to the audio, making it feel more expansive and immersive. Setting up the soundbar was a breeze. It comes with an HDMI ARC connection, allowing for seamless integration with my TV. The included remote control is intuitive and easy to use, and I appreciate the option to control the soundbar using the Samsung SmartThings app on my smartphone. The soundbar also supports Bluetooth connectivity, enabling wireless streaming from my mobile devices. In terms of design, the HW-B650/ZA has a sleek and modern look that complements any TV setup. The black color option adds a touch of elegance and blends well with my existing entertainment center. The soundbar itself is compact and doesn't take up much space, which is perfect for those with limited room. One minor drawback is that the soundbar lacks support for Wi-Fi connectivity, which means I can't directly stream music from online platforms like Spotify or Pandora. However, the Bluetooth functionality does compensate for this limitation, allowing me to stream music wirelessly from my phone or tablet. Overall, the Samsung HW-B650/ZA 3.1ch Soundbar with Dolby 5.1 / DTS Virtual:X is a fantastic audio solution for those seeking to enhance their home theater experience. With its impressive sound quality, immersive technologies, and user-friendly features, this soundbar delivers excellent value for the price. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their TV's audio capabilities.

    Best soundbar for the money. I had an older samsung soundbar which was great but strictly blu tooth connectivity which stopped working after a while and had problems connecting when the tv was turned on. This one you can connect via ARC which is much better and you know itll work flawlessly turning on the tv. Subwoofer is also pretty good.

Whether I'm streaming movies, playing video games, or listening to music, the Samsung Soundbar and Dolby 5.1 Subwoofer deliver exceptional audio fidelity, elevating my entertainment to new heights.

Lastly, I must commend Best Buy for their excellent service. The knowledgeable and friendly staff helped me make an informed decision, guiding me through the various soundbar options available.

    Easy to use and works on multiple input sources (I connected to my TV plus desktop, and my phone via Bluetooth). The bass is not strong but it does its job for a small room. The center speak is supposed to make voice clearer but I haven’t notice much difference. Overall I recommend it.

    The soundbar has great sound - much better than my Samsung TV and has added greatly to my viewing experience. It was simple to set-up. This was my second purchase, as this one I gave as a gift to my daughter for her new TV based on my own experience. Great value for the price point.

    Really impressed with this soundbar. The setup was super easy, and the sound quality is a huge improvement over my TV speakers. Dialogue is clearer, the bass is strong without being overwhelming, and it fills the room nicely. For the price, it’s a great value and makes movies and games way more enjoyable.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Oh boy, where do I even start with this Samsung soundbar? It's not just a soundbar; it's a musical masterpiece, a comedy central, and a conversation starter all rolled into one sleek package! First off, the setup was smoother than my dance moves at a wedding. I had it up and running in minutes, and it didn't even make me break a sweat. Unless you count the dramatic reveal as I unboxed it, cueing a triumphant "ta-da!" just to impress my cat. Now, let's talk about sound quality. It's so clear that I could hear my neighbor three houses down telling their dog to stop barking. I think my soundbar can hear my thoughts too. The bass, oh the bass! It's so deep it had my pet fish thinking he was on a rollercoaster. If it weren't for the handy remote control, I'd have to dial it down to prevent an aquarium catastrophe. But the real gem of this soundbar is its "Virtual Surround Sound" feature. I swear I could hear the dramatic sigh of relief from the actors when I turned it on. It's like they're right here in my living room, critiquing my choice of snacks during movie night. Now, for the party trick: it connects to my phone faster than I can say "Siri, tell me a joke!" I never thought I'd be dancing with my soundbar on a Saturday night, but here we are. My guests were blown away by the sound quality, and the conversation quickly devolved into a debate over whether we were watching a movie or actually in the middle of an action sequence. If I could, I'd marry this soundbar and have little speaker babies. All in all, this Samsung soundbar is a game-changer. It's so entertaining, you might even forget to watch what's on the screen. And if you're ever in need of a laugh, just ask it to tell you a joke – it's got a better sense of humor than my Uncle Bob. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with this gadget; it's a symphony of laughter in a sleek, black box.

    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!

    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!
