I dont believe Ive made a purchase with a surprise "wow" as this soundbar. It has boosted the sound quality of my new Samsung tv. It provides a crisp and clear sound and has upped the fun in watching tv and my favorite movies.

Although this soundbar meets my expectation of a stand alone speaker system it disappointed me as a true center channel addition to my existing home theater system. To function as such Samsung Tech Support recommends purchasing a separate kit that comes with additional rear surround speakers and subwoofer. I declined to get this kit due to the extra expense that I would incur, and for having to exclude the surround speakers and subwoofer that I already own. However, I would still recommend it to anyone wanting a simple, space-saving, replacement of their weak internal TV speakers. And, with 3.0 speakers, it is also better than soundbars that have only 2.0 channels as these lack the capability of producing the all-important center dialogue.

Bought it for bedroom tv and it greatly improved the audio on a newer Samsung tv. For this price range delivers good performance. Setup was easy.

Good sound for a small sound bar. I use it with a computer. It would be nice to have more connection options like HDMI or phono jack.

Awesome sound bar for a smaller mid size TV set up in a regular sized room. I love it! I have it set up to a 42in Samsung in my pool shed. Sounds good for the price point.

Tremendous little speaker with great sound. Needed something that wouldn’t wake the neighbors in a condo - this is clear, has some oomph and does what it needs to. Got as open box and it appears new.

The sound bar actually works very well, particularly with my Samsung TV. The reason for the 3 star review is that I purchased it as open box excellent but it did not include the remote control or the mounting brackets as it should have. Also no setup instructions were included requiring me to go online to find them. Certainly not open box excellent as it was purported to be.

I decided I wanted a soundbar for my bedroom TV. Because of space issues, I did not a separate subwoofer. I had originally selected a different model and make sound bar but the Best Buy associate I consulted with recommended this one as it had 3 speakers including one for dialog. Since I'm a senior, I realized that was probably important for me. I'm very happy with the soundbar and recommended it!

For the price it's an excellent 3 channel soundbar. If you're buying a soundbar always look for at least a 3 channel so you get that dedicated center channel for dialogue. Please note, this will NOT turn your living room into a theater-like experience. In my opinion there aren't any soundbars that actually do that (all they way up to the higher end brands like Sennheiser). This soundbar does what it's supposed to though - boosts overall volume and depth of sound for a small area like a bedroom. Zero connection issues and I dig the grey cloth covering.

Great quality sound at a reasonable price. Also, no subwoofer, which makes it right for certain spaces where you don't want the additional piece of equpment

What caught ny eye about this was that it matched my projector which also has a grey cloth on top of it. But the price point is what sold me at 150. Very surprised. For it only being 3.1 channel and espesiclaly that is an all in one, it sounds great especially at the price point. It’s not the ideal home theatre sound but if youre not in the mood for the home theatre sound but want something way better than your television speakers. This is the one. The DTS feature is what surprised me the most. It really does have a surround sound effect especially in the right room.

Acceptable, but could be better for the price. Plus my gf got this as a gift for me. She isn't the most technical when it comes to electronics and was not aware that the Sub was not included and was an additional $299. So she was quite disappointed as if she had known that, she would have purchased a different brand/model.
