This is the PERFECT system with small footprint. It fits nicely right in front of my TV and the subwoofer is small enough to fit nicely on my TV stand. The sound is great. Having had a surround sound system before, this is plenty of sound for me and way better than the sound from the TV. I also love using the bluetooth with my other devices. Streaming music through my smart TV and other devices has completely replaced the need for a separate stereo system.

All around good quality soundbar. Was easy to hook up to my Samsung TV. Bought it open box in excellent condition, haven't had any issues with it at all. The Bluetooth connectivity works great with my Samsung phone.

The Samsung 2.1 channel soundbar and subwoofer compliment our Samsung tv in the bedroom perfectly. You get a full range of sound that provides power and clarity to boost the effects of your viewing experience. The subwoofer placed under the bed gives that feeling of being "in" the movie. For the price and ease of use, you can't go wrong with this addition. High end features from a reasonably priced product is what we all want more of, and you get just that!

Good sound bar system with a wireless subwoofer with more than enough bass. I added the Samsung 160 Watts wireless rear loudspeakers(pair) which is on sale for $49.99 which make a good system even better.

I. Love. This. Soundbar. Setup was super easy, and since I have a Samsung TV, the TV simply asked me if I wanted to make the soundbar my audio device. Folks, hitting OK on your remote is the easiest setup you can feasibly accomplish. Well done. It's not theater quality sound, but it's absolutely better than the rear facing speakers on the TV. It includes a subwoofer, so audio is transmitted across all ranges. The mids and highs are not too tinny or shrill, and the bass is not enough to bother any downstairs neighbors if you live in an apartment. If you like high volume, it definitely will accommodate your taste. All in all it's a really excellent product for the price. Also, if you can find it as an open box or on sale, it is an even better value! Mine was on clearance for $100. I've heard far worse quality out of $700 systems. I am super happy with this purchase.

This was a very good buy. We wanted better sound from our LCD TV but didn't need a full stereo system. The sound bar bar mounted to a universal bracket and the Bluetooth feature makes it nicer and we can connect our phone or tablet to play music. We connected our TV via optical port and it sounds great! We really like the different sound modes you can use when watching movies or a night mode that turns down the bass. The subwoofer connectsto the sound bar over Bluetooth also. Overall we really like this compact system.

If you're looking for a great sound bar (with a sub woofer) for a great price look no further. This does great at playing music, movies, and regular television. The Bluetooth feature is a great addition so I can play music from any mobile device. It has a great quality bass that compliments the sound bar quite nicely. The bass speaker is wireless so you can put it anywhere in the room you'd like. The soundbar/bass speaker is capable of being loud enough that I can still hear the speaker(s) in the back of the house while we're doing house work and listening to music. Some sound bars I've looked at distort the sound quality once you get a little higher with the volume but there's no worries about that with this one at all. Excellent sound quality no matter the volume you desire. This is the perfect addition to any location that you need some extra volume or better sound quality. Bought this to use as an addition to a 4K LED television where the sound isn't always the greatest due to the thinness of the television/speaker.
The only con that I can see is there's no ability to control the bass level separate from the treble level (no built in equalizer). However you do have the option to turn the bass off separately from the sound bar which is good when you're just watching your normal tv shows.

In looking into sound bars I learned that you get what you pay for. Also that sound bars with a built in sub woofer are really only for a bedroom, they provide decent sound but are not comparable to having a separate powered sub. This sound bar is easy to setup (make sure you take off the protective caps on the optical cable before connecting it). The inclusion of the optical cable and wall mount (which I didn't use) is a nice touch. This alone makes it worth the money. The sound is rich and full. The bass is almost theater like. With its ease of set up and quality sound it's hard to beat. It took longer to unpack than to get it up and running. It's good for a small or medium size room. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is it could be a bit louder. It's more than adequate for my needs, however if you have a larger room I would go for a bigger set up. Overall very pleased.

I got this on the sound bar and subwoofer on Black Friday and do not regret it! The set up was easy and the sound quality is superb. I use it for tv and for listening to music via Bluetooth. If you're looking for an affordable, good sounding system then this is it.

I was looking for a sound bar and sub for the media room upstairs that the kids use and I go up to for movies, football/baseball games, etc... I wanted surround sound but didn't want to mess with wires. I was thinking I would have to go with more channels than this unit offers, but didn't really want to spend the money. This one allows you to add wireless speakers later, if you want, so I thought I would give it a try and see how it does. For the money, I am thoroughly impressed - and I don't think I will be ordering the surround speakers anytime soon. While it is not "true, hear it behind you" surround sound, it is immersive - you feel it and it is multi-directional, definitely fills the room. It came with all the cords (hdmi, optical), the hardware to (easily) mount it on the wall, and also quickly integrated with my Samsung TV so no multiple remotes - it even automatically turns on and off with the TV. Love it. Don't break the bank - if you are looking for good, immersive surround sound - this is a great, easy, starter that comes with everything you need in the box, and will let you expand if you want the wireless rear speakers later - but you don't really need them.

This soundbar was cheaper compared to others but and I can see why. It does not get very loud and the bass is not loud as well. The quality is still good and I am glad I purchased it. It was easy to set up and when I want to use it for Bluetooth, it is easy to connect to my phone.

I recently purchased the 2.1 sound bar with wireless subwoofer to replace my Bose Cinemate system which was very good, by the way. The Samasung bar has Bluetooth which the Cinimate did not. It also has a much less complicated set up. Three wires, 2 power cords and a Photo sound cable. That's it! Love it! Setup was incredibly easy. The sound even at 130Watts is more than adequate for watching movies and TV. It also pairs up with the Amazon Echo DOT very well. A wireless rear add on is possible. Reviews are mixed, good but not great. However, the Sound Bar system itself is well worth the money especially if you get it on sale as I did.

This sound bar was pretty nice. It is not as loud as i like my music but it gets the job done. I love the blue tooth feature the most, I can play music straight from my phone and I love that it has a remote.

I bought this as an open box item. I believe it was a demo so all was good. Minor cosmetic damage if any. It was a discontinued model but it fit the bill. I just wanted a little more volume in the bass and the expansion of surround sound. Love the result! In addition, I love that it doesn't power down. It goes into a sleep type mode. Display dims (when no buttons are pushed) and turns off when not in use. This is great for when you want to use Bluetooth. Even better is when you have an Echo dot attached. Alexa!

We love the wireless and the extra boost it gives for sound. But this system cannot compare to true surround sound. We have tried everything and the lips just dont match the sound. We should have taken it back and gotten a different one. It worked fine at first. We have not had it even a year. Like I said, we tried everything we could. Researching it and trying every suggestion. For a while it would work okay but then back again to not matching up. Other than that, good sound quality.

I love the sound quality and Bluetooth wireless option. I have mine wired directly into tv for better quality. I use in my bedroom and plenty of volume and clarity. Ide buy the new step up if you want a really loud soundbar....I can max out volume listening to music and some times wish I had just a little more. Great price and sound quality
