Whats Included

Samsung 5.1-Channel Curved Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer and Digital Amplifier

Q: What are the dimensions of the sound bar

A: Same width as a 65" Samsung curve tv

Q: Is it bluetooth?

A: Yes

Q: HOW IS IT 9.1 WITHOUT 9 SPEAKERS?

A: It has 9 drivers inside

Q: Does it come with a subwoofer?

A: yes wireless sub woofer included

Q: I'm confused about the designation 9.1 vs. 5.1. Is this model discontinued? I can't find it on Samsung website, just 5.1. j8500r. Should I buy the 9.1 or 5.1? I want the best sound for my money. How many speakers are housed within sound bar?

A: Hi, Hope it will anser your quotation. Actually both are sound bars are the same but with two different names of 9.1 and 5.1. I bought in a bestbuy store 9.1 and they give 5.1 since both have the same number of speakers (9) it works good for me and the price right now is very good $499. It is really worth it.

Q: Under specifications say 2 speakers and why it can be 9.1 channel?

A: I don't know about 9.1, but it's definitely not 5.1, not even 2.1. Forget about virtual surround, you won't even get a two channel stereo. It gives good rich sound which seems to come out of a single speaker. But the speaker itself looks great. Maybe that's what 9.1 stands for. Would not recommend.

Q: Will this work with a 55" TV?

A: Perfectly! But be ware... it will extend 3" beyond the TV on each side

Q: can this soundbar be mounted to a samsung 65" tv? is there a mount available?

A: Not directly to the TV but right below. Ours is an inch or so below. Looks great.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
I love this new 9.1 Soundbar
I bought a 49KS8500 Curved 4K SUHUD TV. and i wanted everything to connect easily so i bought the new 9.1 and i even added the R1 Rear Speakers. You don't need any rear unless you want them because this new 2016 model has 5.1 in just the sound bar alone. I think Samsung needs to take a look at the BASS on this because it puts out too much bass. It does sound good but i have heard the new VIZIO line i have one and it has the bass set perfect like the movie theatre. It only puts out bass when needed and its not over bearing. For the Cost of the Samsung 9.1 being that i spent over $1200 just for sound i am a little disappointed that all that money and the sound is not perfect. I have heard that sound bars don't really give you REAL TRUE SURROUND. I am starting to believe that. This is way to expensive for what you get. Yes i give them praise on the easy one connect. That was my purpose for getting samsung stuff only. It connects easy and fast. I love how it connects. I am just really a HUGE MOVIE & SOUND BUFF and i like sound to be as perfect as the SCREEN IMAGE. I have a Home Recording studio in my office so i know a little about sound. I love my new samsung items. I love the TV. But i wish i could get to someone up the chain and have a meeting with them and see if SAMSUNG can try and correct the BASS issues. When i am in surround mode, the center speaker should put out the talking voices the R & L should put out the MUSIC and the REAR should put out the extras like Helicopters planes ect. ect. But the Voices talking comes out of the entire SOUND BAR. Something is not right and YES my settings are correct. DESIGN is perfection. Look is perfection. Sound quality is pretty awesome but just those few things i mentioned. If you are a SURROUND SOUND JUNKIE you will be able to tell. I just expected more from the new model and for the $$PRICE$$ i really expected a lot more perfection in the SOUND QUALITY. I am going to write to samsung corporate and ask them to look into the matter. I gave them 4 Stars over all. But Even if all the other points are PERFECTION and the QUALITY of the SOUND is not Up to PAR with TRUE SURROUND then it's not a good thing just because it looks pretty and easy to connect. Those things are wonderful, but the quality of surround sound 5.1 should have BEEN PERFECT. And it's not. I will say this, I hope they will fix the problem because i don't want other brands hooked up to my ONE CONNECT. Other brands won't connect with it. So i am sticking with this 9.1 2016 Model. I was going to take it back due to the expensive CO$T, but i decided to keep it. I have had both VIZIO and SAMSUNG plugged up to the same tv. I hope SAMSUNG will come out with a TRUE 5.1 Surround Sound System that is not a sound bar.

Simply Excellent
I actually bought this to go with my flat screen Sony XBR65850. I just laid it in front of the TV and it looks fantastic. It's length and blacks match perfectly. The sub hooks up very easily and never loses connection. If you're worried about bass, dont be, because there's so much I'm always turning it up and down - which I enjoy for movies. A quick sound change for music and hook up over Bluetooth which always works. I'm adding the R1s for satellite speakers soon.

Makes the curved TV sound as good as it looks.
Great sound for a tv. Maybe not as good as a big price home theater system but it sounds much better than the tv's built in speaker. Sub woofer is blu tooth so it can be anywhere in the room. Really sleek look wall mounted with the curved 65" Samsung TV.
