    The quality is really good. I noticed the woofer the moment I turned it on. Best purchase for the buck.

    Samsung sound bars, loved by most, hated by some. It has great spatial sound. The sub is a tad small for my liking, but it fills the rather large room with decent sound. Go it with no surround as there is no where for them to place the speakers , most of the room is taken up by an enourmous sofa. Has a Nintendo Switch and PS4 hooked to it and the sound is pretty good.

    Unfortunately I had to return one due to a pairing issue between the sound bar and the woofer. Best Buy Fort Lauderdale gave me a new replacement without any issues. Nice quality good Sound !

    Harsh Sound and Terrible User Interface

    We have a home with a great room that has a lot of glass and 16' high ceilings so there is not a good place to mount a flat screen to a wall. Flat screens need to be mounted to a wall in order for rear firing speakers to be heard properly, with sound bouncing off the wall and back towards the viewer. So I found a mobile Flat screen stand which is perfect to mount our 55" Samsung. And it has an accessory shelf on the post below the screen mount. I decided to buy this B650 sound bar to solve my sound problem since I could secure it to that shelf. Got everything hooked up and was totally bummed at how lousy the sound is, from this soundbar and its wireless Sub Woofer. Everything is harsh, high pitched, unnatural and tinny...you name it. Dialogue is hard on the ears and there are no low-mids in the mix. And the woofer doesn't contribute enough to compensate for the highs. The sound bar, controlled by way of the remote control has EQ features which are supposed to allow you to tweak the sound in a limited number of EQ bandwidths which are available to change, by pushing buttons on the remote. But this remote is so non-intuitive and convoluted in its processes and the buttons you have to push to do anything, that I had to print out the User Manual from Samsung's website and keep it at my side, anytime I wanted to change something. The user interface is horrible because anything that you ask the remote to do, shows up in a very tiny scrolling text window 2" wide on the far right side of the soundbar. And each command you give only allows about 5 seconds on screen before it disappears and you have to re-activate the remote request again, all the while having to refer to the printed user manual at your side. There are button commands on this remote that you will never see on other remotes. With each button push, you are required to step through other button pushes to activate an action. To make matters worse the included user guide is one sheet of paper folded into fourths with print so small that I had to literally get out a magnifying glass to read...thus I had to go to Samsung's website to download a full size PDF to decipher the complicated interface of the remote signals sent to the soundbar. The less than adequate sound in a big room coming from the Samsung flat screen rear firing speakers ended up being 100% better than this sound bar coming straight at me. This sound bar is all treble with no low midrange to fill the sound spectrum. And the woofer doesn't contribute enough volume to balance out the horrible sound. If you have any appreciation for simply average to decent sound, you will be gravely disappointed in this lack luster sound bar. I also want to add that I am a huge fan of Samsung since I have 2 Samsung Smart Phones, 3 Samsung Flat Screens in my home, as well as several other Samsung devices. Thus it was a supreme disappointment to see the ball dropped on this product. I purchased this originally at $399 in mid 2023 and it currently sells for $199 everywhere. That should tell you something. It is not even worth $99. In fact if someone gave this to me as gift, I would give it away or sell it on eBay or Facebook Marketplace. On a side note, we have a 55" Samsung on a wall mount in our bedroom and 2 years ago, I wanted to supplement its sound with a soundbar and a wireless Sub and purchased a Polk Audio - Signa S2 for $199 and it is FAR superior to this Samsung, so I returned the Samsung and purchased another Polk and am now a happy camper in our great room. I should have purchased the Polk to begin with, but hey, I believe in Samsung and this had fabulous reviews (for no apparent reason).

    Sound is wonderfully balanced and was easy to connect with a HDMI to the smart tv. Subwoofer gives the full boom sound an action film requires. Samsung has great products have never been disappointed.
