SAMSUNG HW-S50B/ZA 3.0ch All-in-One Soundbar w/Dolby 5.1, DTS Virtual:X, Q Symphony, Built in Center Speaker, Adaptive Sound Lite, Bluetooth Multi Connection, 2022 Black

Loving my Samsung sound bar. The Samsung TV I have has great picture but the sound was sub-par so a friend recommend this soundboard. Easy to install. My only negative is, there seems to be a slight delay. Kind of annoying. Any suggestions on how to connect this? Help!

This soundbar is a nice addition to my Samsung U8000F Smart TV. This soundbar adds to the sound of the TV and when you choose Q Symphony you can use it in conjuction with your TV speakers so that they're not just setting idle. Or you can choose the DTS setting and give the soundbar full responsibility. This soundbar comes with its on remote with which you can set the tone. I set the tone on mine to BASS. Remember, this soundbar has the bass speakers built-in so there is no separate subwoofer. Obviously the bass is not as booming as a separate subwoofer would provide but the soundbar serves the purpose that I bought it for which is to give fuller sound. I bought mine on sale and got a very good deal so there's good value. The soundbar is easy to set up. Just connect it to the HDMI eARC port. Use the other HDMI ports on the TV for a DVD player or VCR and not the HDMI eARC port. I can't testify to the Bluetooth connectivy capabilities of this soundbar since mine is directly connected to my TV set. The soundbar does come with some hangers although I simply sat on soundbar on top of my TV stand in front of my TV. At 26 and three eighth inches it sits between the TVs feet. This unit is corded and does not requires charging. The unit has good weight to it and is a sturdy build. I recommend this soundbar if you want a fuller sound from your TV. If you are looking for a soundbar with lots of booming base, you should get one with a separate subwoofer.

I bought this so I could free up space in my entertainment center which has had a big 5.1 surround sound receiver as well as the front speakers for said system in it for years. I have seen and heard other sound bars that were loud and would make good replacements for the big stereo. This is not one of those. This sound bar is OK. I should have splurged for a bigger one, considering what I was replacing with it, but I don't know a lot about sound bars. Anyway, the setup is pretty easy. Pretty much just plug & play. The instructions are not great, but it's simple enough to understand that many people wouldn't even need instructions at all. The remote / operation of this thing is frustrating, using flashing LEDs for feedback to let the user know what it's doing. The remote itself uses a bizarre two way "rocker" type switch to increase and decrease the volume instead of two buttons like every single other remote I have ever seen in my life. That was pretty confusing at first, and it feels kind of cheap like it will break before too long. It uses a "Siri/Alexa"-style voice interface during setup. That volume could best be described as annoyingly loud. So, if you want to make adjustments to the bass and treble, for example, you have to listen to a lady's voice yell at you about what you're about to do. I do not know the solution to this kind of interface from a manufacturer's standpoint, but the way they did it for this sound bar is cumbersome and not very user-friendly in my opinion. So the end result is it takes up way less space than the big sound setup I had. It's a lot quieter but it gets the job done. Just no more rumbling the house with big movie sound. If I ever buy another sound bar, I will definitely go somewhere to give it a test, and probably get one that also uses a subwoofer. This one is "just OK."

This turned out to be a great buy for my PC setup. The sound quality is exactly what I expect from a Samsung audio product. I’m running it through an optical cable, and games sound fantastic, clear voices, detailed effects, and a surprisingly immersive feel with Dolby, DTS, and the 3D audio modes. I switched from a cheaper brand using Bluetooth which is stereo only. For something with small bass drivers, the low end is better than I expected. It fills out the sound nicely without distortion. One of the main reasons I bought this model was the length, and it fits perfectly on my monitor stand under a 34" ultrawide. It doesn’t block the screen, and it doesn’t look oversized or cramped. The build feels solid, and the controls are straightforward. The only minor annoyance is that when it auto‑powers off, I have to switch it back to the optical input when turning it on again. It might just be a setting I haven’t adjusted yet, so not a dealbreaker. Overall, great sound, clean design, and a perfect fit for a wide monitor setup. I’d buy it again without hesitation.

My tv speakers sound better & are louder & the Q sync sucks sound gets even lower mybe to cheap of a version not impressed

solid sound, easy to connect, and to control. However, I am returning it due to one major flaw. The sound bar shuts off after 18 minutes of inactivity (movie paused, muted), even while the television is still on. Turns out this is a known issue baked into the firmware with no workaround. I am connected to a Samsung television via HDMI arc, so it should be the ideal conditions for the sound bar to function. Anynet+ with HDMI CEC is enabled as well, and I have spent an extensive amount of time troubleshooting. Having to turn the sound bar back on manually rather than just hit resume on the television remote is an unfortunate dealbreaker, and a major design flaw. It’s unfortunate too, because the sound bar offers a great audio experience for the price. why anyone would permanently force an 18 minute timer to auto shut off on a sound bar is beyond me.

This Samsung soundbar delivers clear, balanced audio despite its compact size. Dialogue is crisp, and music and movie soundtracks come through nicely without distortion at moderate volumes. Setup was straightforward, and the sleek design looks great under my TV. Pros: • Clear dialogue and balanced sound • Easy setup with TV connection • Sleek, minimal design fits well in any room • Good value for the price Cons: • Lacks deep bass compared to larger systems • No subwoofer included (some may miss it) Overall, a great choice for those who want a simple, all-in-one sound solution with excellent clarity and a clean look. Perfect for apartments or smaller living rooms.

I got this as a used/open box discounted item. I'm thrilled with the purchase. It came in brand new condition and was very easy to set up and connect to my Samsung tv. It is high quality in that it fills my room with superb sound. It connect easily to other devices via Bluetooth. I have it in a smaller room so I don't know how it would sound in a larger space, but in this space it is excellent. Far exceeded any expectations I had. It replaced an old insignia soundbar I've had for years. I trust Samsung products immensely as I've never had a single one let me down. I have purchased their washer and dryer, several TV's and now this soundbar. The voice clarity that comes from the unit really helps me hear the dialogue better even when there is a lot of music or sound effects happening. If you're looking for really good sound on a budget for a bedroom or cozy TV room, one of these will be great.

The soundbar was easy to install. The sound is a little better than without it. The controls and setup are very inconvenient.

Product was returned , not used. It wasn't compatible with my television.

Hasta ahora todo bien con una televisión Samsung
