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.

    Delivers Great sound especially for human voices that hard of hearing folks need. Bass is great but mini speakers are almost useless. Pairing remote with Samsung TV, DVD player and Comcast cable took couple of tries but Geek squad finally got it right! The solution is to use optical cable (but need to purchase one).

    The sound bar is a definite improvement from the internal speakers however a couple of times it appeared that the sound bar and the TV speakers were working at the same time causing a distorted audio.

    I was told by the saleman that this system was totally wireless. I was misinformed, Geek Squad installer told me it required wires for the back speakers. I had to pay an additional $150.00 to have an outlet installed to complete the set-up.

      Hi Soundbar!

      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.

      Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.

    Samsung has been known for years for producing “quality mid-range home audio” equipment for several years…and, with the Q65T Soundbar System, they continue to excel in this area. UNBOXING, AND INITIAL IMPRESSIONS: I’ll start with the ‘bad’…WAY too, too, too much Styrofoam. With the last several things I’ve bought and/or received from Samsung, I was greatly pleased by how “environmentally friendly” their packaging had become. When I opened the Q65T’s box, all that previous experience was completely blown to pieces. That…and that alone…is the primary reason for lowering my overall rating (the other reason is related to the rear speakers…see the “SOUND QUALITY” section). Moving past that, and onto the ‘good’, everything, from the main soundbar, to the rear ‘receiver’, from the sub-woofer to the rear speakers, appears visually to be of high quality. Of course, this is one area Samsung has excelled at for many consecutive years. Although…and, I almost forgot to mention this…in regards to the rear speakers’ receiver, the faux “brushed” side is a fingerprint magnet. Not that anyone would expect to be touching it all that often…but, just know, in advance, that every time you do touch it, your fingerprints WILL be “recorded” onto the plastic. SETUP: Setting the Q65T system up couldn’t have been easier. I’m not going to waste review space providing step-by-step directions, as such isn’t needed. Setup is almost so intuitive, many will be able to set the system up without reading much (or any) of the manual. Admittedly, I only glanced at it a few times, most of which was done after getting everything set up (ie. It was primarily for information related to the sound modes). Depending on the TV you’re connecting this too, you might even discover that you’ll rarely have to use the included remote. In my case, I was connecting it to a non-Samsung brand TV, and the TV’s remote was automatically able to not only reassign audio output to the soundbar, but also automatically assigned volume control of the TV’s remote to the soundbar. Talk about intuitive. Now, for those with DirecTV, you will have to go through some additional setup procedures, but those are done through the DirecTV remote & box. In the case of how everything was being configured, the DirecTV Genie, through its “Audio Setup” menu, I was easily able to program the DirecTV remote to operate the volume of the Q65T, as well as turning it off when pressing the “Power Off” button on the DirecTV remote (the same button press also turns the non-Samsung TV off. Truth-be-told, “setup” is getting so easy & intuitive with today’s technology, I just might have to remove the ‘SETUP’ section from my reviews. That is, literally, how easy setup has become. SOUND QUALITY: This is where I was impressed the most. I didn’t expect “spectacular” sound quality, and why should I? After all, this isn’t some high-end home theater surround-sound system…it’s a fairly-simple soundbar, which also happens to include a subwoofer, and wireless rear speakers. At the same time, it DOES include some home theater surround sound modes…so, in a way, it’s a cross between a traditional multi-speaker surround sound system, and a soundbar. As for the sound quality, considering what it truly “is”, and its price, it performs much better than I expected. The main speakers are clear & crisp. Power isn’t overwhelming, but it does get quite loud when turned up…and, without the distortion some have come to expect from mid-range, and lower, speakers. The sub is full & “boomy”, without being too loud, and without “shaking the house”. Of course, a big part of this would be due to proper placement. For those who understand what I mean, great…and, for those who don’t, I’d recommend reading up on proper home theater speaker placement (describing that here would take several paragraphs). Unfortunately, there is a “down side” to the sound quality, and that would be related to the rear speakers. They are small & ‘cute’…but, they don’t appear to be capable of producing the same frequency range of the soundbar. While they seem to have the same ‘tweeter’ range, their ‘woofer’ range is somewhat lacking. To be fair, this is most likely due to their small size. While tweeters of almost any size can produce good-to-great sound, woofers truly NEED to be bigger. This also holds for “full range” speakers. They don’t sound “bad”…but, they don’t sound as good as they should have, and they don’t sound as good as the speakers in the main soundbar. FINAL VERDICT: Overall, sound is quite good. I wouldn’t recommend the Q65T to those who are big “movie buffs”, as this group tends to prefer higher-quality audio, and “shaking” subwoofers. However, for almost anyone else, I would recommend these…ESPECIALLY for those who have space limitations.

Nevertheless, the above review, be it positive, negative, or anywhere in-between, is a 100% honest review, and the price paid played absolutely no part in my review.

      Hi Panther68!

      Thank you for purchasing the Samsung HW-Q65T and for your review. I am glad to hear you are enjoying the enhanced audio experience with your new soundbar. Your new soundbar features Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS:X, providing you with immersive surround sound that draws you in from every direction.

      To improve your audio experience even further, You can try manually optimizing your audio experience by pressing the SOUND CONTROL button (looks like a gear) to access the setting items such as TREBLE, BASS, and AUDIO SYNC. The selected item can be adjusted using the Up/Down buttons.

      – To control the volume of the treble or bass sound, select TREBLE or BASS in Sound Settings, and then adjust the volume between -6 to +6 by using the Up/Down buttons.

      – Press and hold the SOUND CONTROL button for about 5 seconds to adjust the sound for each frequency band. 150Hz, 300Hz, 600Hz, 1.2kHz, 2.5kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz are selectable using the Left/Right buttons and each can be adjusted to a setting between -6 to +6 using the Up/Down buttons. (Make sure the Sound mode is set to “STANDARD”.)
      – If the video on the TV and audio from the Soundbar are not synchronized, select AUDIO SYNC in Sound Control, and then set the audio delay between 0~300 milliseconds by using the Up/Down buttons.

      – SYNC is only supported for some functions.

      – If Surround Speakers are connected, select REAR LEVEL and then use the Up/Down buttons to adjust the volume within a -6 to +6 range.

      If you need further assistance, please know we are here to help. You can reach Samsung Customer Support at:

      1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8AM -12AM EST (Mon-Fri), 9AM – 6PM EST (Sat). Or text HELP to 62913.
