Customers appreciate the HW-S50B 3.0 Channel Soundbar for its spectacular sound quality, easy setup, and wireless connectivity. Its compact size, ease of use, and sleek design are also well-received. However, some customers have reported issues with the volume decreasing unexpectedly, a lack of bass, and occasional problems with the remote control's functionality.

    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.

    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."

    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.

    This is the only soundbar that seems to work well with my model tv. Minimal to no post processing so the signal delay is at a minimum. Pretty much just plug and play, little to no setting to change on the tv itself. Just bought to upgrade the tv speakers a bit and this does a phenomenal job.

    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.

    Works great with a samsung tv, however, you have to use the HDMI cable for it to work with QSymphony. It's not the loudest unit so don't expect a drastic difference from your normal TV speakers. I like it for the bluetooth connectivity.

    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.

    A great sounding speaker. Though i was surprised to see it didnt have a physical control. I understand that companies want everything virtual and seamless, but i donr want to use my phone for everything. Put a remote control, please.

    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

    Never purchased a soundbar before this, but it does the job. We can hear everything well. Once the soundbar is connected to the TV the remote isnt needed unless you want to power the device down. Otherwise the volume on the TV remote will work on it since they're both Samsung products and similar in design and functionality.
