I would recommend this to a friend I have no title
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Primarily returned this soundbar was due to the cheap remote control. The remote control worked very slowly and I don't think it would last very long due to it being made out of cheap plastic.

Samsung - HW-S50B 3.0 Channel S-Series All-in-one
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Writing this review after approx. 2 months of use. Love this soundbar! My TV speakers were acting up when using Apps and there was static and loss of volume. Until I could get someone to come and repair the TV, the only solution I could come up with was to buy a soundbar. Just so happened that this soundbar was on sale. It’s an All-in-One soundbar, so you don’t have a big woofer box taking up additional space (which I dislike). Sound quality and volume it provides is excellent. So glad I made this purchase. Highly recommend this soundbar!
I would recommend this to a friend Sound bar with center channel
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this Sound bar with center channel because we had so much difficulty understanding the speaking in movies and shows we would watch. It was explained that the flatscreens all have relatively cheap speakers in them and they are facing downward and that by having the sound bar at the bottom projecting out toward us would help the recommendation for the center channel I was told his tune specifically for voice so with that said we were expecting may be more than it is able to deliver it does to better if we increase the volume to a little higher level than we are used to but that seems to be what it takes in order to make out all the dialogue The fact that this sound bar doesn’t require a remote base is a positive for us in our house. Overall I think this sound bar is a little expensive as compared to others but the center sound channel is a must

By pressing the SOUND CONTROL button (which looks like a gear), you can set the audio function. The desired item can be adjusted using the Up/Down buttons. Each time the mode changes, the Multicolor LED blinks in white.
– If the video on the TV and audio from the Soundbar are not synchronized, select “Sync” in Sound
Control, and then set the audio delay between 0~300 milliseconds by using the Up/Down buttons.
(Not available in “USB” or “Bluetooth” mode.)
– “Sync” is only supported for some functions.
– “Night mode” is optimized for night time viewing with the settings adjusted to bring the volume down but keep the dialog clear.
– “Voice enhancement” makes it easier to hear spoken dialog in movies and TV.
By pressing the SOUND MODE button, you can select the desired audio mode. Each time the mode changes, the Multicolor LED blinks in white. (The sound mode may differ with the TV model.)
DTS Virtual:X Mode: Immersive 3D sound from any content.

Severe Volume Issues
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
