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.

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.

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.

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".

Great sound, extremely easy set up. Would recommend using the HDMI cable. Used the bluetooth and there seemed to be a lag time between the audio and the screen. The sound seemed to be not in sync.

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!

We bought this for our bedroom. We have a long bedroom from the wall/tv to our bed and needed help on sound. FOr the most part it is excellent. From time to time in "Dynamic" mode the sound fluctuates a lot between commercials and shows. If the sound is higher, you do not notice it. At low volumes before bedtime is where it can happen. Still, overall it sounds great and it absolutely works well for a small or medium sized room. I would not use this for a main room and expect theatre sound though. But great for smaller/basic needs.

This was a very good purchase. Good soundbar, more powerful than it looks like and still a good choice for a first soundbar. I had zero issues so far with it, good for a small apartment.
