Good budget soundbar - perfect gift!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this as a gift for one of my best friends - they love it! Definitely enhances their sounds, as they weren't able to hear dialogue on their TV while sitting at the dinner table before. Easy set up as they have a Samsung TV as well. Good soundbar for the price. 4 star review only because I have not heard what it sounds like myself yet.

Posted .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.

A nice addition
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it to go with a Samsung tv in our bedroom. The soundbar made a big difference in the quality of the sound and modulates the volume much better that the tv.
I would recommend this to a friend Not worth the money...even when on sale
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love a good sounding home system. I have a Klipsch 9.2.4 in my basement, Samsung - HW-A650 3.1ch Sound bar in my living room that I'm happy with. So, when I was helping my MIL to get a sound bar for her TV, I thought that this would be perfect...It is not! All it needed to do is make the voices clearer and louder. I tried all different settings and they all suck. I thought it might be the room setup. So I took it to my house where I already have a sound bar. I played with it and listened to it for about 2 days and realized that it sucks! Unfortunately, it's past the return time and it works so I can't return it! Very disappointed with Samsung for this particular bar!
