    It's a good speaker, but not exceptional. I have it configured on a Samsung TV, which makes a match between the TV speakers and this speaker.

    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 was pleasantly surprised with the quality of sound this projects. Set up took about 5 minutes to unpack and to connect an HDMI cable (included) and a power cord. This is not a $2000 surround sound system, but for the $150 sale price it is definitely well worth it.

    This has to be one of the best soundbars in the $150.00 price range. It makes regular tv sound louder and clear. But then put on a DVD and the sound is amazing. I cannot imagine what the S60B would sound like. I like the fact it has no cloth to collect dust. I like the size and shape. I wish samsung would make their TVs to show the soundbar settings on the TV screen, that would be super cool. I love this 26 inch speaker and if you need more power, get the S60B. How could they improve this? Add a 4K hdmi passthru and produce more all in one soundbars in different lenghts so more people had options.

    So far so good. This is the sound bar that came with purchase of the Frame TV and with the Best Buy plan. Setup was easy, and the sound quality is better than the built in sound with the Frame.

    We lost the sound on the main tv months ago, and if anything could be heard, it was impossible to undrstand what was said. Yhis sound bar is exceptional. We had not realized what we had been missing even when the tv speakers were working. We enjoy listening to music and that is also amazing. The guys installing and demonstrating the sound bar were really nice & polite and very informative. They did an excellent job and did not leave anything lying around.

    Great sound for a small area, keep in mind this is NOT meant for surround sound. If you have a small apartment living room, this is definitely your ticket!

    Purchased with a new TCL TV because the sales associate felt the TV speakers were poor. TV speakers were fine. The soundbar was better, but not by much, not $200 better. The soundbar does support multiple inputs, not a feature we needed. Rated lower on value, especially because it is now on sale for $150. We returned the soundbar.

    It’s ok. I like more base. I think I’m going to exchange it with the one with the subwoofer. I didn’t think I had room for it but I do.

    Could Have Better User Interface

    The sound bar performs OK by itself. I was hoping for better bass response - will probably get the SWA-W510 subwoofer. The visual feedback for adjusting sound controls (treble, bass, EQ, modes, tec.) is disappointing - even with an HMDI eARC interface to the Samsung OLED 4K TV.
