    Incredible sound system for the price! Must have for a new flat screen Samsung tv, doubles as a sound bar for listening Bluetooth your favorite! I also have the 550 which is very good but you can’t beat this 450 for the price, I like that you can adjust the subwoofer bass on this one, it’ll rock the room with music or a good movie on the the set!! Can’t go wrong with this one!

    impressive sound for the price, actually surprised me. the ONE issue I had is the speaker only works via bluetooth, the optical cable doesnt work. Thankfully the BT is seamless and works without issue but not ideal.

    Makes Family movie night 1,000 times better

    Exactly the kind of quality, build, and sound I expect out of Samsung. Out of the box, it is packaged well, easy to set up, has everything needed to have a fantastic family movie night. Be the hero your family needs with this sound bar with wireless sub. The included optical audio cable makes the connection from the TV a breeze to setup. It includes wall mount brackets, which we didn’t use since our tv sits on our dresser, so the sound bar sits in front of it. The wireless sub can sit by the dresser and provide wonderful sound that fills the room, or next to the bed and feel that home theatre feeling as it rumbles next to us. Same would be by our living room TV and couch setup if we preferred, except that TV optical audio currently doesn’t work, so we tested on our newer TV. The system also has built-in Bluetooth, easy to pair as well, and ready to party in a matter of minutes. Overall the system feels durable, easy to read the display lettering on the front white leds that illuminate the sound choices. The sound fills the room and makes movie night all worth watching, and semi drowns out the kids, they never stop talking though. Better than our built in TV audio, and the sound quality we’ve been looking for.

    I bought this on a whim because I really wanted to watch Dune on opening day at home, while having something similar to a theatrical experience. It did no disappoint. Not only was my heart in my throat from the sound, but I now can't watch anything without turning on the soundbar, or play video games. It has completely changed the way I consume media. It also connects via blutooth to my phone, and I've used it to play music. Probably the best electronic purcharse I made this year.

    Easily paired sound bar with my Panasonic Viera via Bluetooth. It also cocts via optical cable, but Bluetooth is easier with home theater setup on TV. Sounds good. No issues with volume. Just set it higher with TV remote (i.e. home theater volume). Overall works fine. I wish I bought 5.1 channel bar which is 50% more $$.

    Easy setup. I have a Samsung TV I purchased this speaker system for and all I had to do was connect the optical audio cable. The TV recognized the speaker system immediately. And the bluetooth connection to the subwoofer was made automatically as well.

    very easy to set up, sound is great, clear and bass is perfect for our living room. such a noticable difference when switching from already good Samsung TV (can use any TV) sound to the speakers we have connected via Bluetooth. Highly recommend!

    I was looking for a sound bar to go along with my new Samsung TV and this one was on sale, so I bought 2 of them, 1 for my older Samsung in another room. Great sound easily connected via Bluetooth, no problems at all.
