Excellent Sound Bar
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this sound bar. The sound with our TV providing 2 other channels is perfect. It looks sleek and modern and doesn't take up much space. My husband and I are both very happy with it. It is as good, if not better than all the surround sound speakers we had at our last home (and they were way more expensive!)

Very nice
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Despite its compact size, this soundbar delivers truly impressive sound for its price — clear tones and deep bass. It really lets you get immersed in the atmosphere of a movie, or in my case, when playing games on a console or PC. Just an outstanding soundbar.

HW-S801B/ZA great soundbar!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.(Note, most of the reviews on here from Samsung.com are for the wrong Soundbar) We realized that after we purchased but thankfully the HW-S801B/ZA soundbar is really awesome! For such an incredibly slim bar and small woofer it puts out some serious sound! Its not the best but for its size I think it might be for its class. Sure you can get better sound from bigger bulkier equipment but if you want a nice clean and minimal look this is it.

Satisfied
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased as a bundle with 75” Neo QLED TV. This Soundbar was the only one small enough to fit under the bottom of the TV as my shelf depth is limited. My original intention was to buy Sonos but the price of the Samsung included a Sub, and fit the limited space. The Samsung is not as robust as the Sonus but is a good product on its own merit

Posted .Hello MartyC,
Thank you for purchasing the new HW-S800B Soundbar and taking the time to leave a detailed review.
There are a few ways you can adjust your soundbar to improve your overall audio experience.
When you connect your Soundbar to Wi-Fi, it will give you the ability to use SmartThings to adjust and control your entire soundbar. You will be able to adjust all settings including changing the different sound modes, bass and treble levels, and adjust the 7 band equalizer.
If you are wanting to use your remote, you are able to have the same level of control. Pressing the SOUND MODE button will change the desired audio modes: Surround, Game, Standard, Adaptive Sound and DTS Virtual:X (in that order).
Press and hold the SOUND CONTROL button for about 5 seconds which will allow you to adjust the 7 band equalizer between -6 to +6.
To upgrade your sound stage, upgrade with the SWA-9500S Wireless Rear Speakers. Our wireless surround package delivers 360° audio without the need to route wires around your living room. More cinematic and fewer messy wires.
I hope these tips help you enjoy your new product.
You can always contact us for further help at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

Good sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty good sound bar. What i like about it is that it is small and fits on the wall right under the TV. Sound also automatically adjusts fos higher volume commercials compared to the show or movie.

Great sound bar for living room
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first sound bar. I got this one sale before Christmas and am very happy it. The bass is amazing especially when living to music on Spotify.

Solid soundbar for the samsung frame
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With it being a ‘slim’ model, it pairs nicely with the samsung frame tv for aesthetics and the sound quality is still good given the smaller footprint.

Don't judge this little monster by its size!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The audio quality of this device impresses given its compact dimensions and cost. However, a recurring issue that has been somewhat bothersome pertains to the Bluetooth connectivity, which experiences frequent disconnections. It appears that this inconvenience may be linked to the automatic shutdown feature, which, in my opinion, lacks the ability to accurately discern the presence of a signal and regrettably cannot be deactivated.

Great sound and aesthetic
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and very low profile. I have 3 Sonos sound bars. They are much bigger and the sound is no better than the Samsung.
