My tv is in a large room and when I am on the treadmill on one end, I had to turn the tv volume up almost all the way. Once I got this soundbar my problem was solved. The sound quality is good and the price was very reasonable.

Great mounting kit, great sound bar
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Took a chance on an open box modal, sound bar was like new. Samsung gets automatic 5 stars for the mounting bracket kit, easiest hanging assembly I've ever used. Sound is great, my house doesn't have audiophiles so it suits our needs just fine.

Soundbar HW-S50B
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar sounds really good in a medium sized bedroom. A Samsung AU8000 series is not quite tall enough to fit over this soundbar, but plenty of room to put it just behind the TV for sound to come from under the tv. Really clear treble and good bass during movies as well. Came with 1 HDMI cable to hook into the TV.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with the new HW-S50B All-in-One Soundbar. I am glad to see that you are enjoying the audio quality.
You and a friend can both stream your playlists directly to your soundbar, conveniently switching between the two phones without disconnecting with Bluetooth Multi-Connection.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Disappointed in sound compared to the Bose sound bar purchased for another TV. We bought a 'rebox' but Geek say it was excellent condition. Unfortunately, no instructions. Still hard to understand dialog. Will not buy again. Also, VERY disappointed to find out that salespeople represent ONE vendor-no wonder why they recommend specific models!!! Did not know this before buying new TV. Will go elsewhere in future, probably.

Samsung sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price it is the best option I've found, I wish I had more control of the sound treble/bass, but generally it gives greater listening pleasure then the tv speaker.

Posted .Hi there,
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung 3.0ch HW-S50B All-In-One Soundbar with Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X technology.
I'm glad that your soundbar was easy to setup and the audio quality is meeting your expectations.
If you want further bass, you can add the SWA-W510 Subwoofer designed to complement the S-Series soundbars.
You can also upgrade to surround sound by adding SWA-9200S Wireless Rear Speaker Kit to your soundbar. Our wireless surround package delivers 360° audio without the need to have wires around your living room. More cinematic and fewer messy wires.
Should you ever have questions or need help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week.

Frustrating Connectivity and Weak Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar has been a letdown in terms of performance. It frequently unpairs from the TV or other devices, requiring manual reconnection, which gets annoying fast. The Bluetooth connection is unreliable, and sometimes there's a noticeable delay or audio drop. On top of that, the sound isn’t as loud or rich as expected—even at higher volumes, it lacks depth and power. It looks nice, but the performance doesn’t match the price.

Posted .Hello AinuraK,
Thank you for taking a few moments to review the 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".

Great bedroom soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We put this soundbar with our Samsung TV in the bedroom. For a small space the sound is great and it gets loud. Bluetooth could be better, but using the Spotify app through the TV is good.

Thanks to your worker that helped us pick it out.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound bar is working great for the purpose that we wanted to use it. It is located behind our loveseat where we sit to watch TV so the sound is behind is us instead of across the room.
