    First soundbar

    First soundbar I've had so can't compare it to others. Only had it for a few days. Set up was easy enough, but using the remote can be difficult. Learning all one can do can be challenging. One thing that bothers me is the volume control on the remote doesn't work. If I have to change the level of sound I have do it at the soundbar itself, which can be tiresome. If I want to hear the surround sound on it I will probably have to turn the volume up more than I have already. Just don't want to bother the neighbors. Good base to it.

      3) You will then see 2 options in grey boxes: User Manual and Warranty.

    I highly recommend the Samsung - HW-S50B 3.0 Channel S-Series All-in-One Soundbar. It was easy to install and greatly enhanced the sound for my Sony TV.

    No bass

    Let's start with the positives. It comes with a high capacity HDMI cord and it was simple to set up. The positives kind of end there. I expected a bit more from a $200+ soundbar. Maybe i shouldn't have. It can get slightly louder than the tv in my small room, but there is absolutely no bass. The sound quality is tinny and just lacks any sort of punch. This might be the right solution for someone that cannot have bass in their space. For those that are looking for a noticable upgrade from tv speakers, I would look elsewhere. I will be returning this for something that is... more.

    We lost the sound on the main tv months ago, and if anything could be heard, it was impossible to undrstand what was said. Yhis sound bar is exceptional. We had not realized what we had been missing even when the tv speakers were working. We enjoy listening to music and that is also amazing. The guys installing and demonstrating the sound bar were really nice & polite and very informative. They did an excellent job and did not leave anything lying around.

    So far so good. This is the sound bar that came with purchase of the Frame TV and with the Best Buy plan. Setup was easy, and the sound quality is better than the built in sound with the Frame.

    I'm still not sure if I like it, but it has improved the sound on my streaming apps, especially music. It isn't the easiest remote to work with and I don't like the voice that blares when I change a setting.

    New Samsung tv is fabulous, as is the sound bar. Television was delivered ahead of schedule and in great shape. Picture quality is second to none. The whole Best Buy experience was great. From sales to delivery I’m totally satisfied.

    We definitely noticed a difference between the tv speakers and this sound bar. It pairs up with our tv controller so that feature is nice. It also has several audio options which we have cycled through maybe 3 depending on what we are watching or if we are playing a video game.
