    Great sound for a small area, keep in mind this is NOT meant for surround sound. If you have a small apartment living room, this is definitely your ticket!

    Great Soundbar, you can hear the difference with this product. This Samsung HW-S50B 3 fills the room with audio sound that makes you think you are in a theater. If you plan on buying a "Samsung Smart TV," Don't short-change yourself by not getting this soundbar.

    There’s a noticeable difference between the soundbar and television stock speakers. The clarity and fullness of the sound was a marked improvement.

    The 2 things I don't like and should have for the money: - It should have an extra HDMI port outputs. - Digits on it for volume level. It does sound good though.

      Customer,

      Thank you for sharing your review of the HW-S50B Soundbar. We value your feedback and will share it with our teams.

      Here is a tip to help 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 enjoyment. For more help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. LiveChat with an agent as well as manuals, software, and warranty info can be found at the ‘Support’ link on our Samsung website.

    Easy set up and great sound. I was using a Kenmore soundbar from 2000. To adjust the volume, the separate remote was required. A nightmare when late at night and you’re trying to sleep and the sound increase without warning.

    This is the first sound bar I have ever used, and it works pretty good. However, therr are times (not often) that the sound and picture are just a little out of sync.

    This will not replace a regular sound system, but is a fantastic compliment for our new Samsung TV! Words are definitely more clear with the central speaker on

    After first trying the C400 series soundbar with my new Samsung television, I moved up to the quality sound of the Channel S-series. I haven't been disappointed. For most of the programs that I watch, I chose not to combine the tv speakers with the soundbar. For the money, I could not have asked for a better sound!
