    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.

    Great For The Price

    If all you need is a decent volume and quality boost, then this is the way to go. If you are needing more bass and perhaps a fuller sound, I would recommend going with the bar + sub combo instead. Overall, I cannot complain, it gets the job done and you wont find a better All in One soundbar for the price.

    Frustrating Connectivity and Weak Sound

    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.

      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".

      If you need more help, Samsung is here for you. Please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM - 12AM EST (Ask for Soundbars), 7 days a week. Our Live Chat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

    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.

    Great soundbar! I connected it to my Samsung TV and the sound is amazing. The only thing I recommend is using the HDMI cord instead of the optical that was it can automatically connect. Otherwise, great product.

    Transformed my mini home theater setup. Sounds great for movies and music, really gets me immersed into whatever I watch. Would definitely recommend. I paired it with the Bestbuy brand Soundbar mount that hooks up to an existing wall mount, looks neat and hides cables well

    this works well with my off brand tv, there was a bit of delay, which i was able to adjust with the tv itself so that the sound is matched to the picture. it has a great bass sound as well as the treble. I can hear much more than just with the tv alone.

    The sound is much better than the tv sound. Still a little hard to get the british accents and some of the older shows sound.
