Customers are saying

Customers value the HW-Q65T soundbar for its exceptional sound quality, easy setup process, and affordable price point. Many customers rave about the immersive surround sound experience and the rich bass it delivers. The soundbar seamlessly pairs with Samsung TVs, making it a convenient choice for Samsung users. However, some customers have concerns about the wireless rear speakers not being entirely wireless, occasional connectivity issues, and the volume being perceived as low. The remote control has also been mentioned as a pain point due to its limited range and responsiveness.

    Very impressed although the rear speakers could put out more. If you have a newer smart TV and want a soundbar you need a 5.1 you will get so much more quality sound, it will separate all the different sounds.

    I should have purchased one of these years ago. But it's in my bedroom. I have a Samsung TV and via the optical cable the audio is amazing. The sound around is brillent. Couldn't be happier. We are actually going to bed early cause the sounds is almost better than my 7:1 in my living room.

    Originally bought it for my living room. It was just not powerful enough to fill the room. Moved it to a smaller room and it’s perfect. Love watching movies with the surround sound.

    I bought this system on sale for $279.99, great value in my opinion. I love everything about the system but the "7.1" is more of a gimmick feature. The bass is great, but it's not quite as punchy as I would like it to be. Overall I'm very happy with the product for what I paid for it.

    The sound quality is awesome it adds a nice dimensional sound. I would have liked to see the inner face be a little more user-friendly giving more control over every features such as more control of the bass the treble even the balance between the sound bar and the satellite speakers.

    This soundbar set is amazing! I got a Samsung TV to pair it with so I wouldn’t need a million remotes. At first I was a little let down - the Samsung TV app’s live streaming shows didn’t sound incredibly impressive. I had it up to the 30s and then tested it higher and the sound quality was crisp and clear but nothing really was coming from the subwoofer. I wondered if all that money was wasted so I turned the subwoofer up to max and was still a little let down. Then when I switched to Spotify I nearly blew the roof off the house. The neighbor’s dog came running to the door across the street. I could feel the vibration in the floor - I legit panicked while turning it down and then had to laugh. When the sound quality is good in the source it comes out great in the soundbar. I’ve had some people over and I’ve blasted the music so they could hear outside. Inside it feels like a club. I was very impressed.

    The sound is great. The back speakers really make complete the surround sound experience. The only issue I have is when I use the tv speakers with the sound bar, it sometimes takes a few seconds to connect, meaning you don’t hear anything for a second or 2.

    Needed a soundbar for my new Samsung TV and this integrates seamlessly through the HDMI cable. The sound is great, not earth shattering. Maybe on the pricier side but still a good buy.

    Really great sound and ease of setup. Dts:X sounds darn good coming our of a series x. The hdmi ARC feature works great and the build quality is nice - the bar is metal. Came with mounts for the bar and an hdmi cable which helps. Getting an early black friday price is nice too.

    The sound bar itself sounds amazing with voice clarity and no music distortion. The subwoofer adds the right amount without sounding like a rattling Honda trunk lid. The remote speakers are a little underwhelming but do add enough when you hear them.

    Crystal clear quality sound, with great surround sound effects for watching movies. I was displeased with the subwoofer, not enough shock and awe effect I’m custom to.

    Bought with a new Samsung TV. Like the one remote to work both TV and sound bar. Using an optical cable from previous TV; HDMI cable is included. Remote from previous Samsung works, too. Easy setup compared to previous off-brand sound bar.

    So much better than the built in TV speakers, greatly amplified the highs and lows. Occasionally doesn’t sync with the TV but simple restart fixes the issue.

    A solid sound just not the sound I was seeking

    You can't dispute that Samsung puts out a good product, and the HW-Q65T is an example of that. that being said, everybody hears differently, every room is different acoustically, and everybody is satisfied by a different type of audio experience. The HW-Q645T did not work well in my particular case, and did not provide the kind of sound immersion/experience that I thought it would, or that I was seeking. There's not a thing wrong with the set, it's my room, an my expectations, so it just didn't fit my needs and was returned. For someone else's needs, I'm sure it'll be a great system!
