    Big improvement over the TV speakers

    I connected this soundbar to a 50 inch Samsung TV via an HDMI cable. For me, no setup was required and the new remote for the soundbar controls both the soundbar and the TV. My wife hates having two remotes and that was a big factor in choosing this soundbar rather than another brand. I read other reviews before buying this unit and it seems that some people are expecting this to be the equivalent of a home theater system. It is not. It is a simple soundbar which greatly enhances the tiny little speakers on the TV. I am pleased with this purchase.

    The Samsung HW-S50B soundbar is an excellent choice if you want a simple, all-in-one setup without sacrificing quality. Despite its compact size, the sound is rich and powerful. The 3.0 channel system with Dolby 5.1 and DTS Virtual:X really expands the soundstage, making movies and music feel immersive.

    A great sounding speaker. Though i was surprised to see it didnt have a physical control. I understand that companies want everything virtual and seamless, but i donr want to use my phone for everything. Put a remote control, please.

    This soundbar works well with Samsung TVs and gives you the option to use the soundbar mixed with the internal TV speakers. However, this bar which comes with the remote, the remote does not control some of the functions, like bass and treble... which is pretty annoying. The more expensive model soundbars, with a subwoofer DO work with the remote to control bass and treble and some additional functions... like tv clear voice etc. So keep in mind if your tryiing to do a simple "all-in-one" bar, this has limited functionality, with the remote.

      Hello DanielR,

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

    My husband easily connected the sound bar, and it has greatly enhanced the sound of our new Samsung TV. We were used to a big surround sound system but it was not compatible with the new tv. This gives us great sound without taking up nearly as much space.

    Was looking for a speaker system that's not too loud and affordable. It's good, easy to setup with my Samsung TV. The only downside is that it's not too powerful and still have to crank it up a lot, but now as much as before, on a few channels and movies but it's still really good.

    Sound bar is good, better than speakers in the TV. However, it lacks bass. Without a separate subwoofer, which is what I’m used to, it doesn’t hit like it wants too. I’m in an apartment in my own room so it does the job well enough that I won’t return it.

    Great sound. Only drawback was that it got disconnected for a few days and then a surprise update fixed it. BB should make updates less interruptive for extended periods.
