    This soundbar sounds almost as bad as Samsung tv speakers. It heats up something terrible when in use.

    Didn’t plan on buying a sound bar but I’m glad I did. Really picks up the experience of the big screen TV. Thanks to my Best Buy associate for picking out the perfect one!

    Nice sound, simple and effective features, and well priced. Paired it with my Samsung tv for a 1 remote, fully wall mounted solution. Love that it included a wall mount.

    Good soundbar with surprisingly full bass without a dedicated sub. The qualifier is that it's in a 12x12 bedroom, I suspect it would struggle in a big room

    It is a nice soundbar but i returned it. This soundbar is powerful and has a few different modes so it was more than what i needed for a smaller room. I also did not like the fact that the lights are on the top of the soundbar so you can never tell whether its on or off, whether sound is increasing or decreasing and you never know which mode it is in. I used it for about a week trying to get used to it but it just didnt work for me.

    Never realized how great a soundbar could change a Media` experience. While todays brilliant picture is great on increasingly thinner TV’s, the addition of a soundbar makes the experience richer.

    Did not include power cord, but when purchasing this was not noted anywhere. You absolutely need to inform customers of what is, and is not included in the purchase. I would not have purchased had i known i couldn't even turn it on. Would you? Horrendous customer service.

    Has really nice sound, once you get it all set up. Was sort of hard to get it to sound good. The directions weren't very good.

    This soundbar was very unreliable. It failed after 9 months and was serviced under warranty. Soundbar died again 3 months after the warranty ended. This has destroyed my confidence in Samsung products.

    Much better than the speakers in my Q70 QLED Samsung tv. I like that one samsung remote controls both the TV and speaker, so you don’t have to turn two things on.

    Great sound bar for a bedroom. I didn't want a sub-woofer but did want a center channel. Dialogue is much clearer with this unit thanks to the center channel.

    So glad the sales tech at the Hyannis,MA store explained the way soundbars work. I can hear so much better and don't have to keep moving the volume up and down.
