    I recently purchased a Samsung soundbar, and it has exceeded my expectations. The setup was straightforward, and the sound quality is impressive, offering clear and immersive audio. The bass is robust, and the soundbar integrates well with my TV, providing a seamless viewing experience. The various sound modes allow for customization to suit different types of content, from movies to music. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality soundbar.

    I have had this sound bar for 8 months and have loved it the whole time. Set up was a breeze and the sub connected just fine. For the price, I would highly recommend the set up. The only downside is that the rear speakers that are compatible with this sound bar are no longer sold at Best buy.

    Returned an LG soundbar due to massive connectivity issues and replaced it with this one. The sound is SO much better than the LG and we have not had a single issue with the speakers staying connected to the tv. Was a little more than the LG but 100% worth it!! The soundbar is super clear and crisp and the sub has a really surprising amount of bass.

    Nice unit, but the remote control is a bit flimsy

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Sound quality of the unit is good, no issues. Set up/installation is very simple and the brackets allow the unit to hang on the wall, below my HDTV. All very easy to perform and get this unit hooked up. Bluetooth linking of the sound bar to sub woofer takes just a minute or two. My biggest issue is the remote control is somewhat small and seems a bit flimsy. However, if you lose the remote, operating this sound bar is a pain, because the controls are somewhat hidden on the top of the unit, when it hangs just a few inches below the HDTV. A digital display shows the status, including sound level.

    Great Sound Bar, Easy Set Up!

    I purchased this soundbar with my Samsung - 60” Class DU7200 Crystal UHD 4K TV and two rear speakers. The hook up is very easy. The sound adjusts from the TV remote without having to even deal with the soundbar remote. I also added two Samsung - SWA-9200S/ZA 2.0 Channel Wireless Rear Speakers for a complete 5.1 surround sound experience and it sounds great! The speakers get loud, but can't go into the 'hurt your ears' range, which is fine. (they don't go to 11, maybe only 8.) But the clarity of the sound has been great for movies, TV and Music! Really happy with our purchase! For those who want a true 5.1 or better experience I would still suggest a dedicated Home Theater system, like I have in my Home Theater room, but this is perfect for 95% of TV/Film watchers

    After reading some of the reviews I was nervous but I'm so glad that I purchased this soundbar. This thing is LOUD and the base is amazing! I wanted a soundbar for the base ( I'm a movie lover) and I wanted to enhance the voices of people which this does both. Planning on purchasing the same one for my bedroom also to have the full movie experience there as well. Also this was VERY easy to set up, just plugged in syce with my tv and that was it! I also really liked that the soundbar and the tv didn't have to be wired together and they connect via bluetooth.

    Exceptional Choice

    Outstanding sound especially after updating with the unit’s firmware. The movies’ music, and sound affects are in beautiful balance and depth of realistic understanding. The “arc” HDMI connect to our TV’s arc port works seamlessly to give full quality sound with the 4K ultra HD connection to live TV, online 4K ultra enabled movies, and the latest Blu Ray players and discs. Sale price made it an exceptional value.

    I’ve been very impressed with this product so far. The build quality feels solid and well-designed, and it fits seamlessly into my setup. Installation was straightforward, and everything worked as expected right out of the box. Performance has been smooth and reliable, with clear improvement over what I was using before. What I appreciate most is how well it balances functionality and design. It looks clean and modern while delivering consistent performance during daily use. For the price point, it offers great value and does exactly what it promises. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a dependable, well-made option.

    The sound is crisp and clear, especially with Dolby Sound switched up. Hooked it up w the HDMI on the TV and works seamlessly, no hassle of keeping separate remotes. The subwoofer has good lows and mids, pretty decent bass.

    Good system, want 5.1 can't add rear speakers

    Sounds great. Rear speakers are out of production, which is something I didn't consider. They had SWA 9100 and SWA 9200 speakers, but they don't produce them anymore. So if you want to add rear speakers later, don't buy this one. I initially bought it to pair with my Mom's Samsung television I had just bought, but it didn't fit. So I moved a Sony in there, and am using this on my TCL TV and they just sound awesome. And I was using the Sony Sound Plate before and there is a world of difference. I just wish they'd manufacture more rear speakers. Apparently, the 9250s and 9500s are NOT compatable.

    Bought this to replace a sound bar that I thought had died. TV sounds horrible without a sound bar. I was hoping that since it was a Samsung TV, a Samsung sound bar would be a seamless transition. Previous sound bar was a Vizio. For the most part, it was. Setup went smoothly. I also ordered the optional rear speakers for this unit. They also set up smoothly. Upon set up, I discovered my previous sound bar wasn't dead. Still decided to give this one a try. Of course having the previous sound bar for years, I had the sound set to our liking. This one has really been a struggle to get the sound where I want. I keep comparing to the old one, which isn't quite fair. I decided to keep this one and keep fine tuning the sound. The rear speakers add a new dimension that I like. I feel I finally have the sound close to the old one, It took a lot of playing and adjustments. The one feature I absolutely LOVE with this sound bar vs the old one, is that the sound bar does not turn off after a short period of inactivity. That drove me crazy with the Vizio. It also sync's perfectly with the tv, and always comes on and off with the tv power control. The Vizio was hit and miss. Do what does this all mean? I rate it 4 stars. The setup was very smooth. I was expecting a spectacular sound upgrade from the old unit, that is really not the case. That being said, the sound is a HUGE improvement over stock tv. The addition of if the rear speakers, the unit not shutting down during inactivity, and how it synchs perfectly with the tv, makes it a keeper. The Vizio is now in the RV.

    I recently purchased the Samsung HW-B650/ZA 3.1 Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer from Best Buy, and I wanted to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. My initial impressions were confirmed after several weeks of use – this soundbar truly delivers exceptional audio quality. The sound is remarkably smooth and rich, making it ideal for both movie nights and music listening. Whether I'm immersed in an action-packed film or enjoying my favorite album, the HW-B650/ZA consistently delivers clear, crisp audio with a surprising amount of depth and power for its size. The integration of Dolby 5.1 and DTS Virtual:X technologies is clearly noticeable, providing a truly immersive and engaging soundstage, even without rear speakers. I was particularly pleased with the subwoofer's performance. It produces deep, resonant bass without being overly boomy or overpowering. The wireless connectivity is seamless and convenient. The soundbar itself has a sleek and compact design that blends seamlessly into my living room setup. Its size is a significant advantage, as it can easily fit into a variety of spaces without being visually obtrusive. Overall, I'm incredibly happy with my purchase and would wholeheartedly recommend the Samsung HW-B650/ZA to anyone seeking a high-quality, versatile, and conveniently sized 3.1 channel soundbar system. Sincerely, Mauricio P
