I picked up this unit during the Memorial Day sale for under $200, and at that price, I couldn't be happier! I've had my eye on this soundbar for a minute, so once it went on sale, I rushed to scoop it up! This an awesome little setup, perfect for a bedroom. I connected this to my Samsung 55" QLED television, with the subwoofer against the wall next to my bed. The soundbar is a great improvement over the television's built-in speakers, even though those speakers are still pretty good for a flatscreen television. The sub, even at default settings, has a deep rumble that I really enjoy. I can actually feel the vibrations when I'm watching something with plenty of bass! I particularly love the streaming option via Bluetooth; as I'm writing this review, I'm streaming iHeart Radio from my phone to the soundbar, and it sounds AWESOME! I also love the fact that I can stream to the soundbar without needing to turn on the TV. Once a mobile device has been paired, the soundbar will automatically switch to Bluetooth output when it receives a connection request. Setup was a breeze, especially since I own a Samsung TV, so everything was automatically recognized. I plugged everything in and once I connected the soundbar to the TV (I used HDMI ARC), the TV did the rest. Sound output was automatically switched to the soundbar and immediately began to play. Couldn't have been easier! I am definitely pleased with this purchase!

We were in the market for a better sound experience for our TV. Our previous sound system with blue ray was old and clunky so we never used it. While at best buy, I got a chance to demo a couple of options and I was impressed. We didn't want an entry level sound bar; we wanted something we would be happy with for years. Yet we did didn't want to spend too much because we are not audiophiles and I am not sure we would be able to appreciate the extra $100 or $200 for the high end sound bars. This product seemed like a good middle ground, and we wanted a Samsung sound bar to maximize compatibility with the TV. It turns out... it's fantastic! We have the soundbar connected through optical cable so I can speak to the Bluetooth functionality. What I love: - It's sleek and looks great with our TV - It works VERY well with our Samsung TV (as it should) - Love the LED that lets you know if volume is going up or down, and input, then disappears when not in use - It's a significant improvement from our TV sound and way loud enough - The soundbar turns on automatically when I turn on the TV - I can use the TV remote to control the soundbar - The sub-woofer connects wirelessly!! What I don't like: - The remote looks almost identical to the Samsung TV remote, so I've had to hide it because the wife and kids were trying to use it to change channels or go to Netflix, and getting frustrated that it wasn't working. Not a big deal We are very happy with this purchase
