Stopped working within 30 minutes of use
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Soundbar sounded great through hdmi and Bluetooth. Randomly shut off, wouldn’t connect. Every time I tried to turn it on it would turn right off. If I changed the sound mode immediately upon turning on it would say “sound” in the quietest volume ever with no bass. Attempted all troubleshooting steps with Samsung with no luck. They said I could be charged a repair fee if a technician comes out. Not worth anymore time or money at this point.

Good unit, right price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound bar worked fine for the first two weeks. Now I am having issues with it not coming on and the TV speakers taking over. I spoke the the Geek Squad and they are going to come out and take a look and see what the issue is.

Can Hear the TV now...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Once I read the directions and understood how the remote worked everything turned out great. I did have to buy a separate converter as the connection to my Sanyo TV was different from the cable provided with the sound bar.

Better than I had thought it could be
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this simple single bar soundbar. I did not want a big woofer taking up space. I get excellent bass and treble from this device, tuned to how I want to hear the TV. If you are looking for a great device that does not take up much more, then look no further. You found it.

Great Service!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the members of your Geek Squad set up our sound bar. He did a great job. He was so good communicating to me that he would be delayed, and gave me an approximate time of arrival. He answered all of my questions when he was installing the sound bar.

Virtual DTX is awesome but no dialog enhancement
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great, but ultimately returned in favor of the S60A. My favorite feature of this S50A was the virtual dtx mode which really provides a surround sound feel and surprising wasn’t available on the S60A. But I am older and have difficulty understanding dialog without captions and the S60A is controllable through the SmartThings app which offers a few more functions such as ‘voice enhancement’ which has been the most useful feature of any Soundbar to me. If you want great action sound go with the 50, if you want great dialog go with the 60

From 60 to 20
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely has made a difference in how loud my son turns the TV up. He is partially deaf and now instead of volume on 60 we can have it at 20. Only complaint is it’s not meant for a large room.

Sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sale rep at Best Buy was awesome. Told him my hearing issue and he recommended this sound bar because speaker is centered. Sound is great and can be set at a reasonable volume without irritating others.

Solved a TV Sound Problem
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Samsung 43 inch TV I purchased has a weird sound profile, a little too boomy on the low end so I grabbed this to see if it would provide more balanced sound imaging and it does.
