Samsung HW-B550/ZA 2.1ch Soundbar with Dolby Audio, DTS Virtual:X, Subwoofer Included, Adaptive Sound Lite, Bluetooth Multi-Device Connection, Wireless Surround Compatible, 2022, Black

Just hooked it up and i have to say i am very pleased. I had planned to wire it directly to the tv but the bluetooth hook up was so easy and works so good there is no point to go through the extra work. Sound quality is leaps and bounds better then the internal tv speakers. It automatically connects when i turn the tv on and operates using my tv remote. Side note i do have it connected to a Samsung tv so that may be the reason for the seem less integration but i really couldn’t be happier

Purchased a new LED TV after 12 years -unfortunately the existing soundbar I added as not compatible with the new TV so I needed a new one. My criteria was simple: not terribly expensive, Optical connection required AND same brand (compatible components working together is a big requirement me). Search through a bunch of I found the B550 fits all my categories. the install and connecting it to the TV was easier than expected - the optical connection was immediately recognized. I also using Bluetooth for headphones when others are sleeping. Overall the sound quality was worth the price - it integrates with my TV remote (yeah a new Samsung QLED - that is a given it should work)... great experience.

Vizio M Series had really stale and static sound in comparison. The remote was also slow to respond and had too many inputs, each time you switched it voiced the the input type outloud which got annoying really fast. It voiced the input types at varying volumes as well. Had to play around with the settings to get it how I wanted but I found what worked best for me. It ended up NOT being the DTS:X profile, but it's nice that the option is there. That said my gripes with the DTS:X/Virtual Surround are with the profile/software itself which is the same on any sound device, not a gripe with the soundbar itself. It's still a nice profile but I preferred the others. Also you can use the voice boost with DTS:X so just one other reason not to use it. The subwoofer gives a good enough umph without being too much which is good because I didn't want to get carried away with bass anyway. It does have enough bass and treble. Overall good sound for a sub 200 soundbar, if you get it with the subwoofer.

I like this sound bar, it is decent quality. but my number one takeaway is that it does not have good dynamic volume control. it tries, but it seems to be a dated system or a "lite" version. if you do not need that feature then i do recommend this - it has good sound quality, easy to setup, takes up very little space.

When I got this unit the Bluetooth to the subwoofer did not work. But when I contacted them they sent me a new one actually it was much better packed and wrapped up then the first one first one was kind of beat up. And they made it right with no problem at all very happy what it sounds very good for my medium size back room. Was real easy to set up plug and play but make sure you turn off everything before we hook everything up It will hook up better.

Excellent!!! Very good sound and controls with HDMI Arc, easy to connect to Samsung tv and Soundbar quality . Is premium device, boxes papers and parts all all from Samsung, included.

I bought and returned 2 other sound bars before this one. I like well balanced sound and especially understandable voice when watching movies and shows. This system has good bass. The display is kind of small and hard to read since it has to scroll the text slowly, but that’s a minor inconvenience. I like the feel, simplicity, and features of the remote.

ive always disliked soundbars, i had one only because i needed anything better than tv speakers =-P , Samsungs b550 with subwoofer was a definite upgrade , both in sound quality and volume, I didn't think the bass would be that great, then I realized I had it on setting 1, some finetuning later, I got rich sound from movies, yes, its not the same as a 1000w receiver with 7.1 speakers, but for the small(ish) tv in the smaller bedroom it packs more than enough gradient covering highs and low bass, one small perk as well is that auto powers on with almost no lag once the tv is on whereas the previous one you had to manually turn it on and wait 10 sec for it to start, so very convenient

The system was easy to setup and has various connection options. Sound is good and price is right. Works perfectly with my Samsung TV.

Arrived on time. Sound quality much improved over tv. Easy to set up.

Amazing

En general muy buena barra, Samsung no me falló en esta por qué compré antes de esa una LG y tuvo un fallo, es de 410 watts y si suelta un buen sonido, no el más potente pero si le subes no se queda corta, el subwoofer también es bueno y decente, desconozco de cuántos watts será pero en su modo bass suena bastante limpio sin escucharse saturado en cada golpe de graves que hay

Great product. Sound and Bass are outstanding. Massive improvement from the standard tv speakers. Defo a must have for the price. When it arrived the box was in quite bad state, so not the best start. I set it all up and only later noticed that the soundbar had a dent :/ (very hard to see, only noticable from an angle) However, the seller was quick and efficient and organised a replacement, after I returned the damaged unit. All in all I'm happy with the purchase.
