All About That Bass
Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I really like playing music with this sound bar. I tried a few different songs from different genres and they all sounded very good. No matter what area of the living room i stood, the surround sound was clear, equal, and rich. My favorite feature with this sound bar is the Bass Boost. The boost adds smooth knocks to every song i played. Compared to my previous Samsung Soundbar M360, this one is much better. It has a better sleek design and wider subwoofer. The soundbar it self is about 3 inches shorter in length and about1/2 inch wider in width. I expected the remote to be different, not much has changed. Another difference I noticed, is that the LED lights on the A550 doesn't stay on while the device is on and active. Giving it a solid black soundbar through out. The volume on A550 is much louder than M360. Overall very happy with this purchase.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5If your looking for a sound bar that wont break the bank, sounds really good and can fill a small/medium room this is it. Purchased this for my daughter's birthday and the sound quality is unbelievable for the price. I looked at all the sound bars at Best Buy that were under $300 and I think this one sounded the best with plenty of volume.
