    Great soundbar! I connected it to my Samsung TV and the sound is amazing. The only thing I recommend is using the HDMI cord instead of the optical that was it can automatically connect. Otherwise, great product.

    The sound is much better than the tv sound. Still a little hard to get the british accents and some of the older shows sound.

    Fantastic product. I would recommend getting a soundbar with a subwoofer though. It drastically changed the quality of what you listen to.

    I'm not pleased with the amount of time the sound bar takes to engage after the TV is turned on. It takes about 15-20 seconds to hear anything.

      Hi PatriciaB,

      We appreciate you taking a few moments to review the Samsung HW-S50B Soundbar.

      If available, we recommend using the HDMI connection to your TV.

      Connecting your soundbar to a TV through HDMI will provide the best audio and user experience, often eliminating any connection or delay issues you may be experiencing. There are 2 ways to connect your soundbar with HDMI: you can connect a device to your soundbar (like a Blu-ray player) and then connect the soundbar to the TV, or you can use HDMI ARC. The first method will give you the best possible sound from external devices you regularly use. ARC is the way to go if you want great sound from streaming apps on your TV and a soundbar.

      If you need more help, Samsung is here for you. Please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM - 12AM EST (Ask for Soundbars), 7 days a week. Our Live Chat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

    Could Have Better User Interface

    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.

    Terrible sounds, doesn't even sounds you bought a soundbar. Doesn't connect easy, the remote control is really not helpful. There's no indications on to say its on or not. Or tje volume going up or down. Return and went with a different brand altogether
