    I really like it. In this price range, it's a good option. Sound is clear. It's a great upgrade for TV speakers.

    This is a definite improvement to our TV viewing experience. For a relatively low price this Samsung sound bar is a great addition. Strongly recommend.

    This soundbar was extremely easy to set up. It immediately improved the quality of my Roku tv. I would highly recommend it as a very cost efficient means to improve a tvs audio.

    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.

    Definitely better sound than the Samsung flat screen stock speakers. Decent dynamic range for regular TV viewing. Wakes up with tv bluetooth great. I have a stereo with sub woofer if needed for special stuff.

    This sound bar is exactly what I was looking for. I put this in our bedroom. With the new thinner TV’s the speakers are in the back. You have to turn the tv volume up pretty high to hear talking in different shows. When you do that the sound travels down the hall for the rest of the house to hear. This new sound bar is perfect. It gives the clarity of voices over music and such. We also do not need to turn the volume up high at all. It has great sound, easy to install and just perfect.

    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.

    Great sound. Only drawback was that it got disconnected for a few days and then a surprise update fixed it. BB should make updates less interruptive for extended periods.

    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!

    The volume issues with this soundbar make watching television extremely frustrating. It constantly goes from an extreme low volume to an extreme high volume. On the rare occasion when the volume is accurate, it does sound good, But, that is rare. I do not recommend this product.

      Hi MARKUS,

      Thank you for taking a moment to review Samsung’s HW-S50B Soundbar.

      To optimize your audio experience, please try the various sound modes this model offers. Press the SOUND MODE button on your remote, and then select your desired sound effect: DTS VIRTUAL:X, STANDARD, MUSIC, or ADAPTIVE.

      When you press the CH LEVEL button on the remote, you can adjust the volume of the CENTER speaker using the UP/DOWN buttons between -6 to +6. If the Rear Speakers (sold separately) are connected, the setting “Rear Level” is supported.

      You can further adjust TREBLE and BASS via the TONE CONTROL button using the UP/DOWN buttons on the remote between -6 to +6.

      Press and hold the SOUND CONTROL button for about 5 seconds to adjust the sound for each frequency band. 150Hz, 300Hz, 600Hz, 1.2kHz, 2.5kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz are selectable using the Left/Right buttons and each can be adjusted to a setting between -6 to +6 using the Up/Down buttons. (Make sure the Sound mode is set to "Standard".
