      Hi Gram,

      Thank you for taking a moment to review the HW-S50B Samsung 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".

      I hope this tip helps improve your sound experience. Should you need further assistance with features, functions, settings, or adjustments, please contact Samsung Customer Support. Just give us a call at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Our Live Chat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

    I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of sound this projects. Set up took about 5 minutes to unpack and to connect an HDMI cable (included) and a power cord. This is not a $2000 surround sound system, but for the $150 sale price it is definitely well worth it.

    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.

    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.
