    New Samsung tv is fabulous, as is the sound bar. Television was delivered ahead of schedule and in great shape. Picture quality is second to none. The whole Best Buy experience was great. From sales to delivery I’m totally satisfied.

    We definitely noticed a difference between the tv speakers and this sound bar. It pairs up with our tv controller so that feature is nice. It also has several audio options which we have cycled through maybe 3 depending on what we are watching or if we are playing a video game.

      Hi Gram,

      Thank you for taking a moment to review the HW-S50B Samsung Soundbar.

      To optimize your audio experience, please try the various sound modes this model offers. Press the SOUND MODE button on your remote, and then select your desired sound effect: DTS VIRTUAL:X, STANDARD, MUSIC, or ADAPTIVE.

      When you press the CH LEVEL button on the remote, you can adjust the volume of the CENTER speaker using the UP/DOWN buttons between -6 to +6. If the Rear Speakers (sold separately) are connected, the setting “Rear Level” is supported.

      You can further adjust TREBLE and BASS via the TONE CONTROL button using the UP/DOWN buttons on the remote between -6 to +6.

      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".

      I hope this tip helps improve your sound experience. Should you need further assistance with features, functions, settings, or adjustments, please contact Samsung Customer Support. Just give us a call at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Our Live Chat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

    Very easy to hook up. Added to my new 43" Samsung. The speaker on it was very small and very poor sound quality, especially in an open room. Sound was fantastic after adding to my TV.

    Purchased with a new TCL TV because the sales associate felt the TV speakers were poor. TV speakers were fine. The soundbar was better, but not by much, not $200 better. The soundbar does support multiple inputs, not a feature we needed. Rated lower on value, especially because it is now on sale for $150. We returned the soundbar.
