    We got this to go with our Dansung 65” 700 series. Was easy to set up and makes a huge difference in sound quality vs tv only. Immediately synced with the Tv remote. I have not yet played with the other Bluetooth options.

    I connected this soundbar to a 50 inch Samsung TV via an HDMI cable. For me, no setup was required and the new remote for the soundbar controls both the soundbar and the TV. My wife hates having two remotes and that was a big factor in choosing this soundbar rather than another brand. I read other reviews before buying this unit and it seems that some people are expecting this to be the equivalent of a home theater system. It is not. It is a simple soundbar which greatly enhances the tiny little speakers on the TV. I am pleased with this purchase.

    Samsung soundbar Review

    Sound bar is good, better than speakers in the TV. However, it lacks bass. Without a separate subwoofer, which is what I’m used to, it doesn’t hit like it wants too. I’m in an apartment in my own room so it does the job well enough that I won’t return it.

    I got this on a Black Friday deal for our new Samsung TV. This is a more basic sound bar compared to everything else out there, but wow it is still a huge upgrade from our old one! It is leagues better than the TV speakers alone and the sound is immersive. Easy to use and it practically set itself up!

    Perfect size for area we were using. Easy to set up even though we are using it with an older TV, the only problem was the digital cable, again because of the older TV, we had to use an older cable but luckily is worked with the sound bar.

    The soundbar is great. With our old system, my husband had to turn the volume up to 25+ to hear it, and now he has it set on 13. My hearing may be safe. The soundbar sits under our new Samsung TV and is not even noticeable. We love it.

    This soundbar is easy to connect. Samsung has great sound of more expensive soundbars. The controller is also very easy to use, or you can intergrade it into a TV column.

    Samsung Soundbar made my ears redefine “listening!

    This Samsung Soundbar redefines what “listening” means. The Samsung S Series Soundbar delivers crisp and “your volume level” in a slim package I was surprised by how much quality sound come from this Samsung Soundbar. I previously had a Sound System that was 5.1 speakers with a sound receiver and I replaced all that equipment with 1 Slim Samsung Soundbar that fits neatly below my Samsung 55 inch 4K television without losing any quality or volume. The Q-Symphony Option really makes my living room (where my Samsung equipment is) just as good, if not better than my local theater. I definitely recommend buying this Samsung Soundbar, you won’t be disappointed.

    I replaced a receiver and 5 speakers with this Samsung soundbar. I am very happy I did this. The soundbar was very easy to set up. Once it connects to the tv it is ready to go. I like the sound quality. The volume adjusts easily and the people speaking on tv matches the words coming from the sound bar perfectly. I am happy with my purchase and recommend it to others.

    We Purchased this Samsung soundbar as an open box purchase. Super easy purchase, but the delivery was not ideal. The soundbar came from a distant location so the delivery via FedEx took serveral days. The setup was super easy. The quality of the soundbar was great it looked brand new. The only thing not great was there was no batteries for the remote ?

    We are enjoying the addition of this sound bar to our Samsung TV. We like that they are same brand compatible and work well together with a smooth power on and no extra task required. The ability to chose the type of sound settings based on what you are watching or streaming is also enjoyable.

    I know I speak for a mass majority of consumers when I say "we just want to take it out of the box and plug it in. Nice and simple." This is exactly what I got when connecting my Samsung Tv to it. It immediately recognized it and I could use my Tv's remote to control the volume. I didn't have to program it or adjust the setting. This is what I want and expect when connecting two Samsung devices. As for the soundbar, my favorite feature is, I can turn the subwoofer down really low and can hear dialog with perfect clarity at 1/2 the volume as before.

    Product is great. Easy to set up and works well with my Samsung TV. I took off one star because the box was missing the HDMI cord. I purchased open box (excellent condition) which should have all parts. They said I could exchange it for another open box item but I didn’t want to rebox and take back to the store.

    This soundbar is very good quality with crisp clear sound I got this with my new tv for good quality sound and love how it's also bluetooth so I can play music from my phone. I am still learning other options it offers. I love how sleek it is not bulky on top of the cradenza I'd recommend this sound system.
