    Easy setup with the Samsung TV. The volume is more than enough for watching shows and movies. Haven’t tried it with games. Saves space without a subwoofer.

    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 ?

    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.

    Excellent product and great sound for the price point. The volume takes time to adjust and it can get too loud or low if you don't wait for the volume to adjust after hitting control button.

    I bought this soundbar for my 75" samsung TV. I read reviews on the tv and it suggested a soundbar. Honestly this soundbar made no difference. The TV audio is practically the same without it. This product is good, reasonable. For my first experience. Very simple, easy to plug in and play. Good starter

    One Sound Bar is Great; The Other--Some Issues!

    We have two of these sound bars. One works perfectly; the other one not so much. We need to constantly turn the volume up or down when we change channels (don't have to do that on the other sound bar) plus the volume on most of the commercials is so low you can't hear them unless you turn up the volume. Not hearing commercials is not a bad thing; however, it's not right! And if you do turn up the volume for the commercial, when the program comes back on, the volume is so loud you have to immediately turn it down.

    I like the device, but will likely switch it to my smaller 55" Samsung and get something else for the 65". Sound is clear and rich, but seems to be a little slow to sync with video.

    I had great help by a BestBuy representative. I am using the Samsung HW-S5oB in my small bedroom. I did not want a separate woofer and this was just right. I love the sound. It was super easy to set up.

    We got this because the audio is distorted when using the speakers in our 50" Panasonic plasma tv. We tried connecting this up to the optical audio out with no joy. We then connected it up to the HDMI arc and got sound. The wife says the sound is great but I'm not of the same opinion. The sound is ok. We chose this soundbar because it was on sale and the length fit on our stand. The reason for 4 stars is because the remote is terrible and the indicator lights on the soundbar are not helpful. Luckily our tv remote will adjust the volume. But to adjust the bass and treble you must use the soundbar remote.

    Easy to install. The sound quality is great, but it doesn't have high volume. If you are looking for a nice compact soundbar to watch TV or movies, it is definitely recommended. However, if you are expecting to use it as a speaker to listen to music at high volumes (like having parties, gathering etc.), you might want to search for something more powerful. I'd also recommend trying the S60d, as it has Dolby support and enhanced speech technology."

    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.

    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.

    It sounds terrific, however, when I'm watching over-the-air broadcasts, switching from major network stations to the secondary (or local) OTA stations, the volume changes dramatically. That doesn't happen from the TV's built in speaker. I don't know if this can be adjusted, so I'm just "living with it". Otherwise I believe it is a good sound and good value.
