The S60B/ZA sounds really great for how small it is. I have a Sony S200F and this S60B blows the Sony out of the water. However, there are few things you need to do for it to perform the way it should.
1st, you need to place the soundbar in a small compartment like one of those tv cabinet has a little space for a compact soundbar or bluway player. Why? There are speakers built on the sides of the soundbar and they need a wall to bounce back the sound, otherwise, you will never feel the surround effect.
2nd, you need to put form patches underneath the soundbar coz the bottom of the soundbar is made of metal, which rattles if you place the soundbar on a not super smooth surface.
If you can get the soundbar placed at the right spot, it sounds very good for it is. Bass is punchy and vocal is clear.
For the cons, this soundbar does not support dolby atmos on windows, see picture. It is not a true dolby atmos soundbar, it is more like a virtual dolby atmos effect soundbar.
The two major cons for me are the volume control is really out of track. For example, 60% is 2x louder than 50%, I am not kidding. When the volume is set to below 40%, the sound is super quiet. The second major con is that whenever you are not listening to anything for 30 seconds, the soundbar will "mute" itself. When you start playing something again, it will take 3-4 seconds to wake up the soundbar again.
In sum, if you have a very limited space, this is a great soundbar especially you don't want a woofer to take up some space, but I have to save $300+ for the bar is very overpriced even though the build quality is very solid (all metal). Unfortunately, I am going to return it as the delay of sound is very annoying to me especially when I am on youtube switchinfmg videos to videos, almost each video takes a few seconds to start having sound coming out unless I play videos back to back.

The soundbar is small and powerful, perfect for my bedroom usage with limited space. Although it does not has a separate subwoofer, but it has some bass, sufficient for me. Hook it up with with my 65" Samsung QLED TV with ease along with the Q-Symphony function working great. I normally keep the volumn at 12, and it's loud enough. Much better than the TV speakers. At about $200 new, its good value. I got an Excellent condition open box for about $120, that was an excellent deal.

Recently bought a newer tv that has terrible speakers compared to older tv. After lots of research I decided to go with this compact sound bar, and it has greatly improved the sound in my living room. It has a small foot print but big sound. Specifically the sub bass is impressive for the size. Really I dont have any complains. I hard wired it to my tv, and I am able to control the volume with the tv remote and the samsung app. No issues with lag or delay with this setup. About the only thing I wish that it displayed a volume number when using the Tv remote but you can still adjust the levels just fine. Highly recommend setting up the SmartThings app for full a UI and graphic EQ control. Also I have this behind the tv and still sounds great and looks great. Definitely recommend for a minimalist set up

I purchased the Samsung HW-S60B and for an all-in-one with the option to add rear surrounds and a subwoofer in the future, I’m impressed. The soundstage is extremely wide cause the side speakers projects its sound which bounces off the walls. DTS:X is some fantastic virtual surround. It is a 5.0 setup which does a great job at separating the sound into five distinct channels. The bar does produce a fairly decent amount of bass through its dual rear passive radiators. It does have Dolby Atmos support which adds deeper dimension to its overall sound. Listening to the demo at Best Buy did not do it justice, cause once I set it up in my studio, WOW!!!

I bought this today, and I love it. I gotta be honest, i purchased a cheaper Samsung Soundbar in the past, and returned it. It was garbage, BUT this model comes through! I have a Samsung NEO Tv, so i wanted something that supported Q symphony. My Samsung Tv recognized the Soundbar immediately once I plugged it into the Arch and the sound is amazing. For me, its perfect! I can hear spoken content much more clearly than i ever did before! In fact, I like this so much more than regular tv speakers, I'm hearing content I never heard before. I couldn't be happier!

Just hooked up my new sound bar to my ne Samsung S90C OLED TV, and it was very easy. Sound quality is excellent for watching movies, sports or just regular TV. Bluetooth is easy to connect with my galaxy S23 ultra and also with my galaxy S9 FE tablet and listening to music via Bluetooth sounds awesome!

Great little sound bar for TV. Paired flawlessly with my Samsung TV. You can connect it via Bluetooth, HDMI, or optical cable. I was looking for a compact sound bar that didn't need a subwoofer and this ended up being perfect.

Great sound for a small powerhouse! Bought for our RV and was concerned that with out upfiring speakers for true ATMOS that it wouldn't sound right. However it fits perfectly in the 3 sided nook in the entertainment center and it sounds GREAT! It fills the whole living room area in our RV with sound! I haven't gone through all the different settings but so far I like what I am hearing! Very easy to hook to my Samsung TV via HDMI ARC. Also like the fact that I can add wireless rear and subwoofer speakers to it. But honestly if I do add it will just be the Subwoofer if it goes on sale. Even though I think the sound profile is nice even without it.

We ended up returning this soundbar because it looked too small under our 55" TV, but when we plugged it in to test everything the audio quality was amazing! It packs a lot of punch for a small speaker, and it has a nice sleek look. Would definitely buy again for a smaller space.

This is a solid entry soundbar, especially if you pair it with a Samsung TV capable of Q-Symphony.
