    This soundbar does wonders! I have an amazon fire tv and the sound system built into it is not great at all— with this soundbar it really enhances the sound and its really loud. I love it and to top it off it was on sale, worth the price!

    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.

    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".

    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.

    For my living room and TV make this was the best choice for me. The only thing I could find fault with is that many videos don't sync up well. I don't know if its because I have an old Samsung TV or not or if tis has to do wit where the bar is placed I the room. For that reason I didn't give it 5 stars.
