Compact Design with Impressive Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Samsung HW-S50B soundbar is an excellent choice if you want a simple, all-in-one setup without sacrificing quality. Despite its compact size, the sound is rich and powerful. The 3.0 channel system with Dolby 5.1 and DTS Virtual:X really expands the soundstage, making movies and music feel immersive.

Works well, limited functionality with remote.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar works well with Samsung TVs and gives you the option to use the soundbar mixed with the internal TV speakers. However, this bar which comes with the remote, the remote does not control some of the functions, like bass and treble... which is pretty annoying. The more expensive model soundbars, with a subwoofer DO work with the remote to control bass and treble and some additional functions... like tv clear voice etc. So keep in mind if your tryiing to do a simple "all-in-one" bar, this has limited functionality, with the remote.

Posted .Hello DanielR,
Thank you for taking a moment to review the Samsung 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".

Not sure
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has 3 different selections of sound. Not sure what sound is best.
I would recommend this to a friend Big improvement over the TV speakers
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 3.0
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This soundbar was extremely easy to set up.

Samsung Soundbar made my ears redefine “listening!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, easy to connect. Compact with a bang!
I would recommend this to a friend Would buy another.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Sound bar with great voice clarity.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Good Sound.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely better sound than the Samsung flat screen stock speakers.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a 65 inch Samsung Television.
