Great Sound and Low Profile
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We needed a soundbar so we could hear conversations on shows and movies. My wife also said it must be a white soundbar, which of course limits our options some. Enter this soundbar, which conveniently fit in the tight space between my Samsung Frame TV and my mantle, without having to adjust the height of the TV mount, which I call a win! The soundbar itself is great, clear sound and great bass for movies or music. Paired with the Samsung Smart Things app, you have full customization and some cool options like voice amplifier and night mode. The soundbar works through HDMI eARC and also can be controlled by your TV or Chromecast remote, which is great because who wants 3+ remotes?? The only reason this isn't a 5* is because of Best Buy. I ordered two in Open Box Excellent condition, and one came missing a cable and the mounting hardware, and the other came pretty visibly damaged (the soundbar, sub, and wires all had damage). I returned the busted up one, and will make due without a second for now. Of course, best buy customer service and returns are great, so they took it back without a fuss. But neither of the items I purchased were anywhere near 'open box excellent ' condition.

Minimalist & Compact
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Recommended for those who want a minimalist , slim, wall mounted setup. Good and fair sound for a small room and/or apartment. Has wireless/wifi capability without the use of hdmi e-arc or bluetooth. The con is the hdmi to micro hdmi cable, which is weak and easy to break.

Minimalist’s Dream!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The best slim sound bar you can find. If you have little space to work with or you are a minimalist that want your room to look less cluster, get this. Sound quality will not be as good as some other full size soundbar but that’s not what this is designed for. This is the best slim application on the market as of 2023. You are buying a great looking soundbar with great sound (not the best sound, but great enough for us) This sound bar and subwoofer blend in our 75” tv setup and give us much better sound and bass than the tv speakers.

Gear sound for such a small set up
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was pleasantly surprised by the sound of this sound bar. With the Dolby Atmos, I only have the volume at 23 and it is sufficient enough to fill the room. The only complaint is the fact that there are only LED light indicators for settings.

GREAT sound for such an unobtrusive piece
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.VERY happy with the sound quality and intensity via this slimline (nearly invisible) beautiful bar. Sits on top of the TV stand that sits under mounted FRAME TV.

Great soundbar
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We sit pretty close (8’ ) to this setup with it mounted floating below my TV. Subwoofer off to the right behind a chair and it sounds good. Usually keep the preselect audio setting to standard or DTS for movies. Subwoofer +2 and treble 0

Overall Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall great product; however, it could be a little louder and have on screen adjustments...also the micro HDMI cable is very short and had to buy a longer one separately.

Sleek and amazing sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super happy with it. The only hiccup was I guess my 95c required a firmware update to be inline with the sound system. Having a Samsung TV paired with a Samsung surround sound system is the way to go because you only need one remote. Great work Samsung. FYI, I’m happy with Best Buy’s customer service and Samsungs. Stay clear of LG.

Best speaker for small living room or bedroom
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a small speaker but sounds great with Q-symphony. If you are using Samsung TV, it pairs smoothly. Woofer is wireless and you can place it anywhere in the room. Best speaker for small living room or bedroom.
