Samsung - HW-Q65T 7.1ch Soundbar with Dolby 5.1 / DTS Virtual:X - Black

I've had a few Samsung soundbars over the past few years and while this one has more features and technology. it still has a few flaws that i will be talking about. First I will start by saying that this TV will bring out its full potential when paired with certain Samsung TVs. In a way, it is understandable since a lot of companies do that, but personally I just want a soundbar with all the features out of the box. By the way the soundbar system is a 5.1 channel, but if you want the Digital 7.1 audio you will have to find media compatible with it. Also Q-symphony is only compatible with the certain TVs i mentioned earlier. I will say the system also need a bit of sound tunning because out of the box does not sound that good. The back speakers are also kind of low for some reason. If you have a big living room, and place the back speakers kind of far, they are going to sound very quiet. Other than that there is not much to say about the sound bar. Samsung has always made their soundbars with good quality materials and this one is no different. In terms of the app it works about the same as any other samsung soundbar. I have honestly had bad experiences paring my soundbars to the Smart Things app with another soundbar so i did not even bother, since I mainly use the soundbar when im watching something on my TV. Here is a TL;DR - Great sound quality from the front speakers - Easy to navigate controller - Easy to set up, almost plug and play - Great looking back speaker receiver/amp almost looks like a modem - Great Features if paired with compatible TV/ Media - You get an HDMI input and one output - You also get an optical, and USB port - Sub-woofer is loud and crisp Cons - Back speakers are kind of low - The soundbar is somewhat heavy so planning a good mounting spot is necessary - You need certain TV for full features In conclusion if you have one of the TVs or is planning to buy one that is compatible with the soundbar, you are in luck. If you want a 5.1 or a true 7.1 I would look at some other options.

Great sound system. Bought an open box which was practically brand new. Just bought a samsung tv and its very convenient I can use my tv controller as well to control the soundbar. If possible always try to get married/matching devices that way you get full potential out of you products! The sound bar does get pretty loud. It comes with wall mount brackets and an optical cable. I purchased a 10 foot optical since my wires were going to be hidden, the optical they give is short. Audio is crisp, bass is pretty good, and I love the rear speakers. Just remember you can change the volume of the rear speakers. Search up samsung rear speaker volume on youtube. For a perfect balanced sound most people reccomend +4 for rear speakers but personally i like it at +5. As far as the rear speakers go they are not fully wireless, not so much a big problem for me. For the price i’m paying I feel like this sound system is perfectly what I am looking for. If you happen to buy this on sale then I truly believe its worth the money. If you are planning on buying this at retail I suggest you might want to look at other options since at that price point there may be better options. Bass could be a little better and the system I “believe” is not a true 7.1. Regardless, I would definately recommend this product if it happens to be on sale.

TLDR: The Samsung HW-Q65T 7.1 channel soundbar is a great mid tier sound system! Setting up is pretty simple. I connected mine via HDMI ARC and the satellite speakers come paired already to the soundbar. Once the soundbar was connected to my TV, i was pretty much good to go. The soundbar provides various EQ presets, making it easy to change the sound profile for a better listening experience. There is also a dialog enhancement feature that i find quite useful when watching movies! Though the soundbar gets quite loud, the bass is somewhat tiny when it comes to the lower spectrum. The Sound quality overall is pretty good and sound stage is decent. If you happen to stumble on this soundbar when its on sale, its actually quite a steal. However at it's base price, there are some features that are desireable (e.g., bluetooth connectivity, smart assistant, etc.). Overall, i would recommend this soundbar for anyone that is looking for an immersive and great quality sounding system.

Pretty nice home theater, I use it with my Samsung SmartTV and the combination is perfect

This sound bar is awesome especially with the surround back speakers that brings whatever you are watching to life, Note that the sound bar mounting is perfect with no gaps exposing wires.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this Sound bar with wireless surrounds and Sub. Included in the box is a sound bar that covers the from three channel, two surround speakers with a wireless amp and a wireless Subwoofer. The sound bar has a USB, HDMI in and out with ARC, Optical digital input and a minijack. Set up is very easy with the included HDMI cable. Once the sub, wireless rear channels module and rear speakers are connected you are off to the races. While watching the movie Ana, there is an Atmos start up quick demo that sounded incredible. The dialog and action scenes were very enveloping and clear. The Sub had enough bottom for the explosions. I did find if you increased the sub too much it sounded very boomy. The remove is the typical new Samsung remote small and compact with a minimalist feel with few buttons. The surround speakers are small and do not take much up space at all but still provide the sound all around you. All in all this is a great set up for a living room or game room.

Nice surrounding sound with great sound settings. Able to adjust woofer level.

I decided it was time to upgrade our 8-9 year old Sony Blu-ray Home Theater system (BDV-E280). I recently upgraded to a 75 inch TCL 6 series. At first I was tempted to keep the Sony, but I opted for a modern/wireless sound system instead. In hindsight now I’m extremely happy I made this decision. This set was discounted from $499 down to $279 with the pre-Black Friday sale. The reviews worsened my indecisiveness due to the fact that several people complained about the bass levels. However, please don’t let that stop you from purchasing! This system is amazing honestly. It’s loud, the bass is PLENTY for the movie theater experience. The rear surround speakers fill the room which completes the experiment. This system sounds really really good. I’m impressed. We’ll worth the price. Super easy to set up as well.
