Budget friendly power packed soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality is excellent for $125 which I got during the Black Friday sale. The downsides are the disturbance at 20 feet distance from the tv when connected via Bluetooth. The bass is low and the woofer is not the best. But, the cost breakeven is fantastic.

Posted .Hello,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the HW-S50B Soundbar. I am sorry that you have experienced these issues with your soundbar.
To optimize your audio experience, please try the various sound modes this model offers. Press the SOUND MODE button on your remote, and then select your desired sound effect: DTS VIRTUAL:X, STANDARD, MUSIC, or ADAPTIVE.
When you press the CH LEVEL button on the remote, you can adjust the volume of each speaker using the UP/DOWN buttons between -6 to +6. If the Rear Speakers (sold separately) are connected, the setting “Rear Level” is supported
You can further adjust TREBLE and BASS via the TONE CONTROL button using the UP/DOWN buttons on the remote between -6 to +6.
Press and hold the SOUND CONTROL button for about 5 seconds to adjust the sound for each frequency band. 150Hz, 300Hz, 600Hz, 1.2kHz, 2.5kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz are selectable using the Left/Right buttons and each can be adjusted to a setting between -6 to +6 using the Up/Down buttons. (Make sure the Sound mode is set to "Standard".
If you want further bass, you can add the SWA-W510 Wireless Subwoofer.
Keep in mind that depending on if there is anything in the way between the soundbar and source this can cause interference. Also make sure that your Wi-Fi router is away from your soundbar as this can also interfere with the signal.
I hope these tips help you enjoy your new product.
You can always contact us for further help at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. Our LiveChat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

Samsung Soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds so much better than speaker that projects from back of TV. I was looking for decent sound without getting a sub woofer. But I probably should have bit the bullet and got that too or speaker system with it included.

Epic
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently upgraded my home audio setup with the Samsung all-in-one soundbar, and I couldn't be happier. The sound quality is simply phenomenal, delivering rich, immersive audio that enhances every movie, show, or music track. The sleek design complements my living space seamlessly, and the wireless connectivity makes setup a breeze. The built-in features, including various sound modes and a powerful subwoofer, add depth to the listening experience. Samsung has truly nailed it with this all-in-one soundbar, offering a perfect blend of style and superior audio performance.

Great with a Samsung TV (obviously lol)
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good mix with a “newer” Samsung tv that can use a feature to use both TV and the soundbar, really amplifies and directs the sound, no sub is a bummer, but I can get on eventually if I wanted. Overall good sound, good purchase

Easy setup

I would recommend this to a friend Satisfied for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, I am satisfied with this soundbar. I like that it is only one piece, and its sound is better than my TV's. I'm sure you'd get a better one if you paid more, but this is fine for me.
I would recommend this to a friendElevated tv experience
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall, works well. Syncs with our Samsung Frame TV sound (Q-Symphony) for a surround sound feeling experience (sound from the tv coming from the back, then sound forward from the sound bar). Overall, we’re very happy! A good price to greatly elevate the sound. The natural speakers on the tv leave much to be desired!
I would recommend this to a friendsimple things
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great soundbar for the price I bought this soundbar to enhance the sound quality of my Samsung TV, and I’m very happy with the result. The soundbar is easy to set up and connect, and it has a sleek and minimalist design that fits well with my TV. The soundbar has a built-in center speaker that delivers clear dialogue, and it also supports Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS Virtual:X for immersive surround sound. The soundbar can also be controlled with the SmartThings app, which is very convenient. The only downside is that the soundbar does not come with a subwoofer, so the bass is not very powerful. However, you can buy a separate subwoofer if you want more bass. Overall, I think this is a great soundbar for the price, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple and effective sound solution.

I would recommend this to a friend Quality dialog and music audio
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The 3.0 channel soundbar from Samsung is our "go to" choice for quality sound at the TV. The original reason for choosing this design was for dialog. With some other soundbars the dialog is lost. But these 3.0 channel units produce very good dialog sound. But to our surprise, the music audio is excellent too. The only thing annoying about it is the talkback feature of the setting buttons. The talkback is way too loud! And it doesn't seem to be adjustable. (Fortunately, the setting buttons are hardly ever used.) The soundbar is connected to the TV via HDMI/ARC.
