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.

    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.

    Excellent sound bar system! I use this for my PS5 on a 4K lg tv via the HDMI ARC and it is phenomenal! Great for the price as it fills up my bedroom with surround sound that is ample in volume and bass.

    Haven't had a soundbar setup before. This was fairly easy to get up and running. Have some issues with the HDMI connection, so I had to use BT. TV is Samsung as well, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Maybe my TV isn't compatible with that HDMI. Sound is great from the front and sides. Feels like the rear speakers could be a little louder. You can hardly tell they are even there most of the time. But they are very easy to connect.

    This was so very much worth the money. The set up was easy. I did have a small issue with the rear surround speakers but turns out it was user error. Best purchase i have made in a long tim.

    Understood by the description that it was entirely blue tooth including the rear speakers which are not and require wires, that was my reasoning for buying this....now I am stuck with what i basically had before wires on my wall!!!! Love to take it back so I could purchase what I really wanted! Wireless surround sound!

      Hi MIke,

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung HW-Q65T Soundbar System which comes with a subwoofer and rear speaker kit. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts about the wireless description of the rear speakers

      Occasionally, customers have trouble hiding and running speaker wires from the front of the room (where their soundbar is) to the back of their room (where they have their rear speakers). The Rear Speaker Kit eliminates that hassle. Connect the rear speakers to its wireless module and place these three in the back of your room. One wire is required to connect each rear speaker to the wireless module. Then plug in the power cable to the module. The “wireless” convenience is in connecting your soundbar and any other speakers at the front of the room to the rear speakers – this can now be done via Wi-Fi through the wireless module, eliminating any clutter of long wires running the length of your room.

      If you need further assistance or have questions, please feel free to reach Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.
