    Great Soundbar

    This was my first experience with using a sound bar and I have to say I am very satisfied with this purchase and I got it for a great price. I've got it hooked up to a Samsung 75" Class DU7200 Crystal UHD 4K Smart TV and am very impressed with the sound quality. The bass is awesome and makes you feel like you are watching in a movie theater. If you are having any sound issues with your soundbar something else must be wrong because this thing would blast you out of the room. When I just have the TV speakers on I have to turn the volume up to 25 or 30 but when I turn the on the bar I have to turn it to 15 or below for it not to be too loud. The installation of this bar could not have been any easier. Aside from running the wires in the wall to hide them it took me less than 15 mins to hang it on the wall. Connecting to the TV and my phone thru Bluetooth was also super easy. Now the plans are to purchase the available add on surround sound speakers. Best Buy I'll be back.

    This is an excellent Soundbar for the price. I paired this with the Samsung 75" CU7000 (awesome TV). I wanted more sound as this TV is in our outdoor entertainment area and can get noisy during parties. We have a lot of people over during the holidays and we love to watch sports, Football, UFC, boxing and movies! I have an older Samsung 2.1 channel that I bought 4-5 years ago and this one blows it out of the water. There are different sound settings based on your TV and liking. We use the DTS virtual X, which provides crisp, clean sounds for the audible portion, but nice base and surround for an overall better result for your TV. The subwoofer is small and connects wirelessly. It makes all the difference in the world. We have seating in front of the TV but there is seating on the other side of the pool and you can hear the TV now so clear. I tested it the other night on the other side of the pool and the sound was amazing. Actually I'm worried it is too loud at night that it might be bleeding over to the neighbors. No complaints yet. I bought a mount from Amazon to mount it right under the TV and it works flawlessly. I can't be more happy about this purchase. If you're looking for a budget friendly soundbar, this is it. It was under $300.00 and well worth it.

    Overall I got what I expected. The one review I should have put more thought towards is the issue people had with the subwoofer. It is true. I can barely hear it at all when my ear is right up to it. Even with sound pumpin at higher than it should ever be, the subwoofer barely vibrates. The soundbar is great but what is the subwoofer even for if it can’t even compete with the soundbar at low volume or high volume. And by compete I mean being heard. Soundbar awesome and connection with my Samsung tv is awesome & no hassle.

    Great Basic Soundbar System For Bedroom

    I purchased these speakers back in June, 2024, for my bedroom TV and have been loving them ever since. The issue I had was the TV was projecting the sound backwards, against the wall, but since I have it on an articulating arm, the sound would bounce off the walls in various directions (not forward) and be hard to hear. With these speakers, the sounds are now very easy to hear, especially the speaking portions. The sound coming from the speakers in the soundbar are very natural, but the subwoofer can sometimes get a little too "boomy"; but it does not bother me. I'm just very happy I can finally hear the TV without turning it to full volume. In the attached photo, you will notice that the soundbar is attached to the articulating TV mount.

    I’ll be honest for the price amazing when you set up the trouble to five the base to four and then the subwoofer to six and you bring up the volume to say 65 sounds better than the last one I had and for the price of 250 ask for more and if you want more Spend 1500 then you’ll have something amazing

    I initially purchased this Samsung soundbar to aesthetically complete the look in my living room by the purchase of our Samsung 85 inch tv a few months ago, so not really concerned about sound, but more about the looks and how both paired together in my living room. Boy, was I surprised! Just to note, I did do my due diligence in reading the printed reviews on this soundbar just to make sure I was making the right decision. Amazingly, all the reviews were glowing. I got more and more excited with the reading of each review, and basically made up my mind by the 8-10th review. That along with the price solidified my decision and couldn’t wait to get to Best Buy that weekend to purchase. The reviews were spot on! This soundbar is one of the best purchases I’ve made. The sound is so vivid and immersive that it’s unbelievable! The design is sleek and looks perfect in my living room. Whether my husband is watching movies, sports or playing on his PlayStation, the sound takes you in and immerses you in as if you were in a movie theatre. I wholly recommend the Samsung HW-B650/ZA 3.1 Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer -it’s a 10 out of 10 for us!!!

    Was a perfect pair for my new Samsung bluray tv (WOW that picture) the sound is awsome. Use the ARC feature. It honestly took me a minute to figure out the switches. The voice enhancement it crystal clear on that extra chanel. Bass booms on the Sub loud, my neighbor said, oops. I was able to transfer more bass to the bar and it punches hard not shaking the room. I do love some Sublime and Pantera and it does not dissapoint. Got em on sale and delivered it to me free. Ps.. i dont work for Bestbuy or Samsung. Just the average Steve
