Samsung surround sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a solid surround sound bar. The only negative I have is that the stero wires some times get loose without being moved. Over all a good product.

Great Sound Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this surround sound system to go with my QLED 55'' TV and the two work nicely together. This soundbar gets as loud as you will ever need and the surround sound provides a great overall experience for both movies and shows.

Love this sound system
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great! easy to set up. There is a lot of choices to listen but I am figuring it out. I think the rear speakers have plenty of volume and you do need to turn the base down or it will rattle the windows

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound system. I got a great deal on it too. It was open box and on clearance so my so i was leary of the quality, but it blew my expectations away! For me, it was a steal!

The product description is confusing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Samsung Q65T soundbars are pretty good, but I think Vizio m51a-h6 or m51ax-j6 will give better value for your money. I will highly advise increasing your budget and going for Vizio m512a-h6 which support Dolby Atmos. The product description had mentioned Dolby Atmos in the past which created lot of confusion. It's still not clear from product details or Best Buy Answers what upfiring speakers are used for. Samsung needs to reduce such confusion, and have clear separation between the different families of soundbars it sells.

Big bang for the buck
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price the sound on this thing is incredible. I can hear the dialog over the background noise. Being able to locate the sub and surround speakers anywhere there is power makes install of this system an breeze.

Good quality but not that high volume
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound quality although it could be a little bit louder, it would be nice if it has more volume and bass so you can feel more "surround".

Samsung sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fantastic sound bar and wireless speakers! I'm a little hard of hearing and this has made all the difference. I don't have to blast the sound to hear the tv anymore. Easy to set up and use. TV remote also controls the sound bar system.

A must have!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sound system is spectacular! Upgraded to this one from an Insignia sound bar and the quality is way better! The surround sound isn't super loud, but very complimentary to the system. Sub works great

Reading this may save you disappointment
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me start by saying that I did not rate this One Star (which it absolutely deserves) as that rating is generally reserved for kooks complaining about the color of the logo on the box, the delivery man being 15 minutes late or some other such nonsense. I purchased this to pair with my Samsung Q60T QLED which I love. The unit is nicely made and interfaced immediately. Unfortunately, it was all downhill after that. The sound it not dynamic and simply sounds like a louder version of the TV's built-in speakers. Even after putting the various programs through their paces, the sound was flat and uninspiring. I could almost live with that as it was at least clean and uncolored. However, as I later found in other reviews (which I should have read in first place), the rear channels are virtually nonexistent, impossible to hear and frankly worthless. Regardless of adjustment, the sound from the back is barely audible. In addition, the Woofer gives fourth only a distorted rumble which added nothing to the overall experience. Sadly I am returning this and going with a Vizio 5.1 which is now hooked up and filling my room with amazing sound from all corners. I am a big fan of Samsung electronics but this Soundbar falls far short of the mark. As a former sound engineer, I would suggest that you stay away from this set unless you are merely looking for a boost in volume and dynamic quality is of no value to you. Best of luck in your search.
