    We bought this for our bedroom. We have a long bedroom from the wall/tv to our bed and needed help on sound. FOr the most part it is excellent. From time to time in "Dynamic" mode the sound fluctuates a lot between commercials and shows. If the sound is higher, you do not notice it. At low volumes before bedtime is where it can happen. Still, overall it sounds great and it absolutely works well for a small or medium sized room. I would not use this for a main room and expect theatre sound though. But great for smaller/basic needs.

    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.

    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".

      If you’d like more help with settings, please know we’re here to help! Call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Or visit us on the Samsung website and click on the ‘Support’ link for:

    This soundbar really enhanced the dialogue from the TV via HDMI cable. The setup is easy with just 2 cables which including power adapter and HDMI cable. For it's small and slim size, it's pretty loud and clear; you can also play music on your phone/PC and use it as speaker too.
