Customers often highlight the impressive sound quality, wireless connectivity, and easy setup process of the 400 Series 4.1-Channel Soundbar. Many users appreciate the soundbar's ability to deliver clear and immersive audio, while the wireless speakers and simple installation enhance the overall user experience. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the limited bass response, the fact that the rear speakers are not truly wireless, and the volume levels not meeting their expectations.
Purchased this soundbar along with a 55" Samsung 7200 UHD TV. The Direct Connect is fantastic, allowing the soundbar to sync wirelessly with the TV, however a single optical audio cable can also do the trick. The soundbar turns on and off with the TV, which is convenient. My wife was confused as to why we needed a soundbar until I pointed out the ability to easily connect to the system via bluetooth, so she can stream music from her phone. She is no longer questioning my tech purchases. The sound is great, and the wireless subwoofer is fantastic. The satellite speakers are not wireless, but connect to the subwoofer. I placed my subwoofer underneath a coffee table next to our couch so it was out of the way. The surround speakers easily connect to this, with the wires neatly tucked and ran under/behind the couch. There aren't a bunch of distracting flashing lights, and the lcd display on the soundbar is very subtle, simply showing current input selection, switching to volume display upon increasing/decreasing. This product definitely shines when connected to a newer Samsung display that supports the direct connect, however I see no reason why it wouldn't be deserving up equal performance on any other brand. If you're looking for a subtle way to greatly enhance your TV's sound capabilities, i definitely recommend checking out this model.

Sond quality is relatively good, although it does not seem quite as "robust" as it sounded in the store. Bought this sound system because already had a Samsung TV and it was promoted as easy to set up (especially with a Samsung TV). Was relatively easy to do so, although the directions were a little obtuse. Would recommend probably only if friend had a Samsung TV.

I was a bit skeptical with this Soundbar. but I figured I take a chance with it and bought it. So far I love it. Wireless and the rear speakers get connect to a wireless module which I have hidden behind the couch. The sound is absolutely incredible.
