    This Samsung speaker is pretty decent. It gets plenty loud. My only gripe is that it sounds a little muddy. It's not as crisp or clean sounding as some speakers. I wish there was a way to tune it a little better. I bought this as a replacement for a 10 year old Bluetooth speaker. It does the job, but it could be a little better.

      Hello,

      Thank you for purchasing the MX-ST40B Sound Tower. We appreciate your review and it will be shared among our internal teams.

      When you are using different music or streaming apps, these will usually contain an EQ within the app itself. Any changes within the app will also affect the Sound Tower itself. Using the pre-made EQ settings or manually adjusting them will offer a better overall experience with the Sound Tower.

      I hope this tip helps improve your enjoyment. For more help, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. LiveChat with an agent as well as manuals, software, and warranty info can be found at the ‘Support’ link on our Samsung website.

    We use the speaker for birthday parties, gatherings and at baseball games. Works well for these situations. I can see where being able to link another speaker wirelessly would be beneficial. I’d suggest that route if you’re purchasing this speaker for a house party or maybe an outdoor party.

    I got the speaker on a good sale but the sound is pretty disappointing. I had a Sony speaker that was a similar size and it was WAY louder. Thinking about returning and buying something else.

      Hi JP510,

      Thank you for your review of the Samsung MX-ST40B sound tower and for sharing your experiences with the issues that have caused you to consider returning your sound tower.

      You can adjust the sound mode depending on the mood of the party. Press the SOUND MODE button repeatedly to cycle through the available sound effects: PARTY, STANDARD, HIPHOP, EDM, ROCK, LATIN, HOUSE, or REGGAE. The default mode is PARTY.

      You can also use the BASS button to boost your bass. Press it again to return to the normal sound.

      Pressing the DJ button repeatedly will cycle through the available DJ sound effects: NOISE, FILTER, CRUSH, CHORUS, WAHWAH or OFF

      Pressing the Light button repeatedly will cycle through the available lighting modes: AMBIENT, PARTY, DANCE, THUNDERBOLT, STAR or OFF

      The DJ Effect function lets you add DJ sound effects to your music. The level of each effect is adjustable.

      1. Press the DJ button on the Remote control.
      2. Each time you press the DJ button, the Party Audio cycles through the available DJ Effects:
      • NOISE: Create white noise and mixed with the original sound through the filter and output.
      • FILTER : Creates an effect similar to the sound of only treble or bass.
      • CRUSH: Creates an effect that makes the original sound sharper.
      • CHORUS : Creates an effect similar to a singing chorus.
      • WAHWAH : Creates a ‘Wah~ Wah~’ effect.
      • DJ EFFECT OFF : Turns off the DJ Effect.
      3. Press the EFFECT + or EFFECT - buttons to raise or lower the level of each of the DJ sound effects from -15 to +15.

      Please also make sure that you have the latest firmware update. You can update your firmware by connecting a USB device with the firmware update stored on it to the USB1 or USB2 port on your Sound Tower. You can find the firmware file by going to Samsung Electronics website (www.samsung.com) → click on the “Support” option in the upper left corner.

      If we can help with anything else, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. LiveChat with an agent as well as manuals, software, and warranty info can be found at the ‘Support’ link on our Samsung website.
