My new favorite holiday toy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker is phenomenal. I appreciate how it throws sound behind you almost 3d ish. Also how it gives you options on sound output.
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!

Samsung All in one Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar is perfect for the SAMSUNG Neo QLED TV. I really like it.
I would recommend this to a friend Problem Solving
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My new television had echo and gravelly sound. Part of the problem was the large television came down close to the fireplace mantel. The sound echoed off it. The sound bar took care of the effect. The Geek Squad thought that through and solved the problem.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great with my Samsung 55” TV, doesn’t come with a woofer, but the Samsung Symphony setting uses the sound bar AND the TV speakers together for a rich, enjoyable sound.
