    Included- Soundbar, subwoofer, remote control, 2x power cords, AC/DC adapter, HDMI to micro HDMI cable, wall mount guide and wall mount kit The assembly and installation were relatively smooth. The biggest hiccup I ran into was I needed a new power strip with a long enough cord. Once I figured that out, connecting the cables from the soundbar to the TV and to my streaming device was simple. The sub wirelessly connects to the soundbar via bluetooth so you only have to connect it to power source. Initially, I couldn't get the TV sound to come out of the soundbar even though I had the settings set to use the HDMI arc source, but I finally realized the source was actually bluetooth and then it worked great! When I power on the TV, the soundbar asks if I want the to soundbar connect as previously done. So once I "OK" it, what's even better then, is my Apple TV remote will connect to the soundbar too and then I don't have to monkey with multiple remotes. The volume button on the remote controls the volume button for the soundbar. There is an app called SmartThings, that lets you control and listen to music or podcasts from your phone on the Samsung soundbar. There is an option to change the mode of sound to fit your needs- Standard, Surround, Game, Adaptive and DTS Virtual. There is also an equalizer with slides to adjust the base and treble up or down. In the advanced settings there is voice enhancement and night mode. I've owned multiple soundbars but this is my first slim. I really like the physical size of it because it is not big and bulky. I don't have a lot of room for it since it's sitting on top of my dresser with my TV so it fits well. It does come with a wall mount kit and guide if you want to anchor it to the wall instead. I do not think this soundbar is superior to other soundbars on the market, but for the size and needs I have it's great! I am very happy with it for the style and price. The sound quality of the Samsung Slim is far better than the TV sound. It's clearer and crisper and fuller all around. I don't like to ever go without one because it far enhances your viewing and listening experience.

    Samsung Ultra Slim Sound Bar

    I was looking for a sound upgrade for my television, I needed something small and unobtrusive. I have a larger surround sound system for movie nights but I wanted more than the TV’s little built in speakers could offer for everyday viewing. I thought this would fit the bill the best. The main speaker is small in size, measuring just 35” wide x 1 5/8” deep x 1 1/2” tall and can be either wall mounted (hardware included)or placed on a shelf or console. It packs six speakers, 90 watts of power, and a dedicated center channel to bring out the dialogue in a slim profile. The subwoofer is slim as well, at only 8” wide x 12” deep x 13 3/4” tall but with 160 watts in a ported enclosure it really punches up the bottom end. And since it connects wirelessly to the main speaker it can fit about anywhere in the room. I connected the sound bar to my television via Bluetooth which was an easy process, the connection has been rock solid with no issues. It turns on and off with the TV so I don’t really need to keep the sound bar remote at hand. I don’t have a Samsung TV but my Sony TV remote controls the volume just fine. I tried connecting via the included HDMI cable to my TV’s HDMI ARC port but the volume output of the speaker was very low and would not adjust no matter what I tried so I switched back over to using the Bluetooth connection. I prefer using it in surround mode, I think that brings out the dialogue the best. Sometimes I think the background music in a show is too loud and drowns out the audio. One thing I found lacking- there is a Simple User Guide included in the box with instructions to view the user manual at Samsung’s website but if you go there the only download link I found is this same Simple User Guide. There’s zero instructions on what the functions of the remote control do. You can just mess with it and figure it out but it seemed like an odd omission? I’d take off half a star for that if I could. The speaker sounds great, does exactly what I need, and works seamlessly even with my other brand television so I definitely love it.

    The sound is good, but the connectivity has been intermittent. We have a Samsung Frame TV, and you would expect the Samsung soundbar to be plug-and-play. It took a little while messing around with settings to get the QSymphony to work. Even then, the soundbar keeps switching between WiFi and the HDMI connection. No explanation why, but it is annoying because the soundbar will announce "Wireless disconnected" in the middle of the show you're watching. All-in-all, we are happy with the sound and quality of the soundbar, and the compact size is perfect for our small living room. I would recommend in hopes that Samsung will eventually come up with a firmware update to correct the connectivity issues.

    I didnt know that I really wanted or needed this but then I got a demonstration in store and I thought fine why not? I had a little bit of a hard time connecting the subwoofer to the soundbar but I figured it out once I actually read the instructions and wow does this thing make a difference. I have not had to raise the volume above a level 16 and I feel like the dialogue is super clear and the loud bangs are loud but not heart attack inducing.

    This is a great sounding system! The mini sound bar is 2 inches in height, but delivers a theatre full of sound. Everything from clear voices to the booming of the wireless subwoofer are great. Pair with a Samsung TV for an event greater experience. Together you can use adaptive sound settings, which allows for the system to adjust between regular TV show and local channels to the full DTS movie experience automatically. The full array of adjustments allows the user to customize to their liking.

    It works! Easy set up. Almost intuitive so I had to look at the instructions for a couple of hints. Connected to my Samsung smart TV and the symphony coordination feature worked almost immediately. Sound is good! Actually very good! I can now hear the higher frequencies much more easily.

    What a difference it makes. With two hearing aids I had to have the tv turned up high making it an issue with the better half. Now when I have it at a comfortable level without the hearing aids in she complains it is not loud enough. Can't win but at least it was a great addition to the tv.

    This sounds bar puts our GREAT clear sounds particularly for the price I paid. I also like that I can build on it. Unfortunately I haven't owned it long enough to really dive into its full range of sound and capabilities. I haven't really experienced the full effect of its surround sound or theater affects yet. But so far it does well for the price.

    Recently purchased a new Samsung TV already had a Bose sound system debated whether to replace it with a new one. Took a chance on this system and glad I did ! To me it sounds as good or better than my previous system. Would highly recommend! Also was extremely simple to connect.

    From the time I purchased it. I really have enjoyed my surround sound. It's crystal clear. My family and friends really enjoy it. Especially when I invite friends and family members other for dinner. Or when playing a game of pool and relaxing after a hard week. Once again thanks for everything. I am really enjoying it.
