So I bought this sound bar for a few reasons. One being it was hard to hear what people were saying in movies and tv shows because tv speakers just aren’t that good. Now I have a dedicated center speaker for voice and it’s wonderful. I’ve had full blown surround sound systems in the past and I didn’t want to break the bank, so this one does nicely for my small living room.
Second reason I bought this sound bar, it was on sale for $450. Regular price was $650 I think and it’s great for the price point. I can watch my Apple TV movies that support Dolby Atmos and it sounds pretty good. While this system doesn’t come with the rear speakers, it does a fairly decent job of throwing sound above and behind you, and I can always buy the rear speakers to complete the set up when I get extra cash. The subwoofer is small at 8 inches but is more than enough for my living room. I haven’t once thought that there wasn’t enough bass.
Lastly I wanted a pretty easy setup, I have a Samsung Smart TV I bought last year and this sound bar synced up no problem, Bluetooth pairing of the subwoofer was very easy and took no time at all. I have my Apple TV 4K running into the sound bar, then my sound bar running into the tv, and I have my Xbox Series S plugged directly into the tv. All you have to do to get the Xbox to play out of the sound bar is turn the sound bar on when booting up the Xbox. The sound bar also fits under my 75 inch no problem.
Overall I’m pretty happy with this sound bar. I do plan to get a much better Samsung sound bar in the future like the one in the Magnolia section, I can’t think of the model while I’m typing, the one with 9 audio channels, but this one is absolutely fine for the time being and will probably get moved to a game room when I upgrade.

Amazing sound and so easy to use. It integrates itself really well with other brands. I use it with an LG TV and an Apple TV. Also with a PS5. The only negative I can think of is even when I run an Atmos demo video, I can't really tell that there's "surround" above me happening. No big whoop though, I'm not a huge surround sound freak.

Portable and it fits easily in front of my tv. Seamless connectivity to my iPhone and other blue tooth enabled devices to play music effortlessly. It’s perfect for those movie nights when you want a theatre experience. Bass , Treble and sound equalizer work in perfect harmony. I am enjoying it and will surely recommend it to others as this is great find at such low price. Even at very loud sound level the quality of sound doesn’t deteriorate and you can hear things clearly.

For the price, I don’t think it can be beat. I purchased it on sale for Black Friday. The Q Symphony mode is pretty awesome. Dolby Atmos is a beautiful thing paired with eArc and the rear speakers that were also on sale for $199. The bass is perfect and no issues at all. Setup was also seamless. It seriously sounds like you’re in a movie theater once you get it dialed in to your specifications.

This soundbar far exceeded my expectations especially for the open box price. It was missing an HDMI cable but we actually had some High Speed cables from our 4k cable box upgrade that we didn't need so it wasn't that big of a deal. The HDMI ARC worked instantly and no codes were needed to sync the remote. It was truly plug and play. It was also nice to have the sub-woofer connect wirelessly. Just need to plug into a power source. Connecting to WiFi and using as an Alexa extension was simple and pretty cool as well. You can use your phone as a remote too with the Smart things app on your handset and it provides more sound customization. I have a S20+ and it seems to be best friends with this soundbar. Its gets really loud and sub sounds like a movie theater when turned up without much distortion. This ATMOS unit is going to be worth your money as long as your room is not too large. They also have a rear speaker upgrade which I plan to buy in the future that makes it 5.1.2

Samsung Soundbar - Balance Between Sound and Price

The sound bar is a definite improvement over the TV's own speaker, and the sub is an added benefit. It's sound is clear and crisp, the lows produced by sub are room filling at a certain volume levels. The included remote is good, but it syncs up with the TV so it's more of a backup remote. The mini display on soundbar is a nice touch, and the UI for the equalizer is simple, yet useful. Overall, this system is a great addition to a family's main TV, but might want to go with a higher level Samsung soundbar to get a deeper sounding sub.
- Pros
- Easy to setup out of the box.
- Clear sound, bass good at higher levels.
- DTS: X and Dolby Atmos improve soundscape.
- Equalizer UI and built-in mini display are useful.
- Sleek and modern design.
- Syncs with TV volume using HDMI ARC.
- Wireless soundbar and sub for flexibility.
- Cons
- Sub is tight, so no deep rumbling bass.
- Sub has fabric on the outside and is thin.
- Q-Symphony limited to Samsung's Q Series TVs.

Make it a theater experience with rear speakers

Remember that SWA-9500S/ZA is the only compatible rear speakers for this soundbar. Trust me I was misleaded by bestbuy associates with other model but nothing is compatible other than 9500S. The soundbar is too powerful that it overpowers the woofer. They should have provided a bigger size woofer but if you are under 70% of volume its great.... decrease the volumes a little bit in the soundbar channels to match the woofer and you will be all set. Talking about sound experience, I wanted to instantly add the rear speakers for best dolby atmos experience. Sound bar is 3.1.2 channel. Rear speakers are 2.0.2 channel which makes the setup of 5.1.4 channel which is exceptional. I have a 75 inch QN85A TV with it. Any video you play with dolby support makes you immerse in the sound experience. You will be inside the scene. VVERY IMPORTANT TIP- If you have rear speakers set up, DO NOT USE Q-SYMPHONY feature. This feature just limits many features of soundbar and it will not be great experience. You cannot even turn on surround feature on your speakers so not worth it. The TV speakers are so so tiny that the soundbar over powers them even in 10% volume. So in a nutshell, get the rear speakers setup and turn off QSymphony, tweak the volumes in the channels to match the woofer volume and you will be all set. Finally, it will be cheaper and better experience than Q850A soundbar (More expensive overall) which have rearspeakers with is just 2.0 channel

I LOVE this soundbar with the woofer. Sounds so crisp. It goes from 0 ro 100 on the volume and at 20 its already loud enough.
I did try it at 100 playing a music video and it was phenomenal.
My friend is envious that my soundbar sounds better than the one he has.
A great buy for a good price. Go get it!

When we upgraded the TV we upgraded to the sound bar. It sounds great. Way better than the speakers in the TV. It’s a Samsung TV, so it hooks up easily to the HDMI (ARC). (Thats a cable that sends signals in both directions - “Audio Return Channel”). The TV remote control automatically controls the sound bar volume.
We also bought the rear speakers, and I love the surround sound. They are pretty small but sound surprisingly great. I guess you only need a few highs to give the illusion that you are surrounded by sound. The small size makes them pretty easy to blend in with the existing decor. NOTE!! Only the SWA-9100S works with this. The SWA-9500S will NOT work, despite the product description. I bought them, no workie, finally called Samsung, they said no go. So I returned those and got the SWA-9100S, which work great. A bit angry at first, because the 9500S speakers feel much heavier and I thought that meant they would sound better. But they were much harder to disguise visually, and these little ones do a great job, so I am happier with these anyway.
I used the Rocketfish mount - kind of a pain to get it on, but I imagine most are, and I think it looks kind of cool. With a power outlet behind the TV, no cables visible except those attached to the mount.
Overall, highly recommended.

Upgrade to home theater system. Much higher end soundbar with addition of sub created sound we were seeking at a great price point during sale. Added a set of rear speakers and totally transformed to theater quality sound. Well worth the investment.

The sound is great. We had to place it outside the tv stand due to the base. The technicians were great and knowledgeable. They placed the sound bar onto of the tv. My hubby calls it the WALL!
