    Samsung Soundbar made my ears redefine “listening!

    This Samsung Soundbar redefines what “listening” means. The Samsung S Series Soundbar delivers crisp and “your volume level” in a slim package I was surprised by how much quality sound come from this Samsung Soundbar. I previously had a Sound System that was 5.1 speakers with a sound receiver and I replaced all that equipment with 1 Slim Samsung Soundbar that fits neatly below my Samsung 55 inch 4K television without losing any quality or volume. The Q-Symphony Option really makes my living room (where my Samsung equipment is) just as good, if not better than my local theater. I definitely recommend buying this Samsung Soundbar, you won’t be disappointed.

    This sound bar is exactly what I was looking for. I put this in our bedroom. With the new thinner TV’s the speakers are in the back. You have to turn the tv volume up pretty high to hear talking in different shows. When you do that the sound travels down the hall for the rest of the house to hear. This new sound bar is perfect. It gives the clarity of voices over music and such. We also do not need to turn the volume up high at all. It has great sound, easy to install and just perfect.

    The volume issues with this soundbar make watching television extremely frustrating. It constantly goes from an extreme low volume to an extreme high volume. On the rare occasion when the volume is accurate, it does sound good, But, that is rare. I do not recommend this product.

      Hi MARKUS,

      Thank you for taking a moment to review Samsung’s 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".

    We upgraded to this soundbar after buying another one that did not have an HDMI connector, and we are glad we did! This one is a 5.1 system with a subwoofer in it, and sounds very nice. It is very easy to install and it has its own remote but works with the TV remote as well.

    Picture is excelent. No glare screen and the colors are bright and clear. The salesman knew his televisons and explained the difference betweeen the different brands. Also he knew exactly what I needed in a sound bar. Delivery was right on time and the setup was very friendly and informative.
