    We find that the sound is definitely better than the built-in speakers on the TV. But we are still getting used to it and adjust the tone settings occasionally.

      Hi AlfredD,

      Thank you for taking a few moments to review the Samsung 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 SWA-9200S 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.

    The item is fine. I bought an open box item and didn’t notice it is dented in the front until it was installed. It would be a good practice to indicate if there is an damage on open box items offered for sale.

    This was a relacement/upgrade for a sound system that was not repairable, and covered under a Geek Squad reair/replCement agreement. I am very happy with this sound bar and would recommend it to anyone who asks.

      Hello Cindy,

      Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review about the new HW-S50B.

      To improve your overall sound stage, I suggest adding the new SWA-W510 Subwoofer and SWA-9200S Wireless Speaker Kit.

      These will give you a much improved overall sound as it will add surround sound and increased bass levels.

      If you need any assistance when you are connecting the new accessories, please contact Samsung Support at:

      1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week.

      For additional support resources, visit us on the Samsung website and click on the ‘Support’ link in the upper right corner of the homepage.

    We have a large open concept room where we set up our sound bar. We get a lot of echo from it. Sounds ok to me but hard for my husband with his hearing problem.

      LindaM,

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

      When you turn on the TV, the TV should turn on the soundbar and automatically switch from TV speakers to soundbar output. You should not be getting an echo.

      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.
