Better than TV Speakers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty disappointed in sound quality, no remote volume control. I have a cheaper LG soundbar that is way better. This works but is only slightly better than TV speakers

I'm sorry to hear that you are not fully satisfied with the performance of the HW-S60B.
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".

Best Mother's Day Gift
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Simple. Good sound. And the wife loves it. Now she wants one for our upstairs bedroom.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Geat sound, especially for the price point. Would buy again.
I would recommend this to a friendCould Have Better User Interface
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound bar performs OK by itself. I was hoping for better bass response - will probably get the SWA-W510 subwoofer. The visual feedback for adjusting sound controls (treble, bass, EQ, modes, tec.) is disappointing - even with an HMDI eARC interface to the Samsung OLED 4K TV.

Mo’s Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar is unparalleled in functionality and net all my expectations. If you want something simple that saves space yet delivers exactly the audio you need at a reasonable price, then look no further! It has the easy bluetooth connect, and just the amount of audio I need to showcase a difference between the TV’s audio without causing too much disturbance.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The jury is still out on this unit. My wife watches a lot of shows that use the center speaker and some of the networks she is having difficulty in hearing them. Otherwise the rest of the stations are working well

Soundbar HW-S50B
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar sounds really good in a medium sized bedroom. A Samsung AU8000 series is not quite tall enough to fit over this soundbar, but plenty of room to put it just behind the TV for sound to come from under the tv. Really clear treble and good bass during movies as well. Came with 1 HDMI cable to hook into the TV.

Posted .Hi SandmanXX,
Thank you for sharing your experiences with the new HW-S50B All-in-One Soundbar. I am glad to see that you are enjoying the audio quality.
You and a friend can both stream your playlists directly to your soundbar, conveniently switching between the two phones without disconnecting with Bluetooth Multi-Connection.
If you want further bass, you can add the SWA-W510 Subwoofer designed to complement the S-Series soundbars.
Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week.
