Love the System best one we’ve ever had made our room into an awesome movie theater

Like anything, you’re always skeptical, apprehensive and anxious about what you’re buying. When comparing sound systems, Sonos is top of the line, but this bad boy came in at a surprising number 2. The system itself is MASSIVE. The soundbar is really large so make sure you have the space! The speakers themselves are great but was disappointed they weren’t wireless, no big deal. That said, unboxing was pretty easy. The only thing I would suggest, Samsung needs to mark the cords, what goes where, etc. Outside of that, connecting this system to my Samsung tv was very easy, and if the lights are not solid blue, the connection is wrong. This was pretty much self explanatory but needs to be said. The system picks up sounds we didn’t ever hear! Rain, snow, wind, distant explosions, the millennium falcon racing through space. It makes the viewing experience so much better. For the price of nearly $900, IT IS A STEAL! If you can’t grab a Sonos, this is definitely a great secondary option, you will not be disappointed.

This is an amazing soundbar. Voices are clear and legible, sound is incredible and the bass is very resonant. The rear speakers do a grest job and the atmos feature brings a whole new level to movies. The Q-Symphony feature significantly utilizes the tv speakers to enhance regular tv viewing. I really couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Please read this review as 4.5 stars. This unit gets high marks from most professional reviewers, and rightly so. Due to advancing age and the realization that I won't be hefting 40lb receivers and 80lb speakers much longer, I decided to start downsizing - and this was the first thing I did. Glad too. It is as good as advertised with only minor criticisms. Out-of-box it is powerful loud, seemingly louder using eArc than the HDMI inputs. (I recommend a break-in period for the speakers before too critical a listen). The center channel seems a bit dominant, L/R mains a bit weak, and low bass prominent with weaker mid-bass. The claimed pass-through capability is only if the soundbar is turned on - it will not pass audio/video if it is off, so if you are planning to use the unit as a hub, just be aware that it is NOT passive pass-through. There are four sound modes but EQ is only available on "Standard"which is unfortunate as it could be positively applied otherwise. I would like to recommend that the next iteration have EQ available in all modes and each speaker individually addressable as well. Right now only Bass/Treble sliders are available for the advanced sound modes (Surround, Adaptive). One critique is that ATMOS is a bit weak, not that it matters much since ATMOS material is not always mentioned in the program descriptions of the various streaming sites when selecting a viewing choice. Fandango does a good job of identifying ATMOS coded offerings but not the other streamers. Amazon Prime Video only offers ATMOS if you pay the extra fee for no commercials, but even then the audio description is missing (I subscribed to no commercials for two days and never saw the word "ATMOS"). I did download some demo files and detected a faint ATMOS effect when playing them through the system. There are two sound adjustments one may employ that attenuate the sound, they are called "SpaceFit" and "Adaptive". I am still trying to figure out what they do, although I did notice a slight echoing effect using Adaptive. The remote is small and sparsely populated with buttons, several of which have arcane double button presses for "hidden" functions. The mobile app is much better and quite handy - highly recommended. In sum, a great sounding system that's even better after break-in. I sincerely hope for better EQ capabilities in the future.

I’ve had this sound bar for a little over 1.5 years and have been very impressed. These days, audio mixes on your shows/movies are not optimized for the wimpy built in speakers in modern flat panel TVs, so I found myself reading subtitles more often than not. You really start missing out on the small cinematic details when you’re so focused on figuring out what the actor has to say. It takes the joy out of watching TV. Look, my wife is never going to let me get a true 7.1 setup strewn around the living room, and running cables through the walls to cut out in wall speaker holes is out of the question. You’ll be hard pressed to find any sound bar better than this especially when you can get it for less than $1000. The only real competition is the Sonos Arc Ultra and Sony Quad, but you have to buy the subs separately for those. The Nakamichi Dragon is also not living room approved per the wife. The sound bar looks sleek on top of my media console with the 65” TV mounted on the wall above it, and the subwoofer and satellite speakers are easy to tuck into a corner or set on some end tables/lamp stands to give you that immersion you need. If you want something slimmer and have the ultimate aesthetic that will still vastly improve the dialogue and sound quality, I recommend the Samsung HW S800D ultra slim sound bar. Set up is a breeze with the HDMI eARC port on your TV highly recommended. Using the Samsung app makes changing settings easier since the display on the sound bar is Spartan. I like the surround or adaptive presets with SpaceFit Sound on. You’ll probably need to tinker with the sound delay setting in your TV for the AV/lip sync. I found 120 ms delay to be perfect for my QN95B Samsung TV. You can also adjust it in the sound bar settings but only at 25 ms intervals while my TV can fine tune a little better at 10 ms intervals. Don’t waste your time researching anymore. If you’re reading this, just buy it. $900 is a steal.

this device has an unreliable connection with two different LG tvs I have tried it with. sounds great when it works, but when you turn the tv off and turn it back on later or the next day the dialogue sound is quiet and terrible. i have tried many ways to fix it, but the only way is to unplug the soundbar to get dialogue working again. so don't buy unless you like unplugging and plugging the device every day.

After a week of use, I can tell you it is worth the money. Before this I was using a Yamaha system with tower speakers and a12” sub. That system was above and beyond anything my neighbors had. This system is even better. It can be crazy loud, or it can be crazy clear or it can be just crazy good. The satellite speakers are actually 6 speakers, not two. Each satellite has three speakers: forward, side and ceiling facing. The soundbar has side, angled, ceiling and forward facing speakers. (By the way, be sure not to push this soundbar under the tv. If you do, you’re blocking the upward facing speakers of the soundbar). For the first time my wife and I can turn off closed captioning because we can hear and understand what people are saying! Be sure to download the app. You can control all features of the speakers via the remote, but it’s way easier with the app. The bass unit that comes with this system is balanced. It doesn’t overwhelm but is clearly there. In the app there is “Night” mode. It reduces bass so that the sounds don’t travel as far. Great for apartments or roommates. Setup is a breeze, and you don’t need a separate amp. Just use the included HDMI cord to your tv. Read the quick start instructions and you will be watching movies as though you were in a theater. According to reviews I have seen, this is the king of soundbars. I believe it. Playing music from my phone is easy. I just select the soundbar from the casting menu. Well worth the money.

I bought this model instead of the newest version, and got a refurbished unit, which ended up costing well under $1000. I've been using home theater components for years, and while this sound bar can't quite match the performance at the very top end use case, the convenience, integration with my Samsung tv, and overall surround sound experience is excellent. There are certainly better systems available, but you have to spend 2 to 3 times as much. I highly recommend this sound system for anyone looking to upgrade their tv sound with a sound bar/satellite system.

Produit parfait correspond à mes attentes

Molto soddisfatto nel prodotto

Sehr einfach aufzubauen und zu installieren Ein super Klang

Fantastic experience. Great seller and great product. Thank you.

I bought this to replace one that no longer worked. The 'Simple User Guide was so simple, it barely told the user anything about setting it up. It stated there were 4 power cords, which there was. It made no mention that the cords were of different length. I started putting out the rear speakers to find the power cord was not long enough and although I have plenty of sockets it would mean I needed an extension lead, which I set up... only to then find the next lead was longer, so I had to unthread the lead and extension lead from behind my shelves... *sigh*. However this was the only real snag. I already knew I needed the Samsung smart things app, so once I set all parts out and plugged them in, using the app was easy and that was it. I didn't need to link in each speaker (which I did with the last one), so one step not needed. I already know the sound is great as I use it on Q-symphony (you must have a Samsung compatible TV to use Q-symphony). Oh one thing which I had with the other sound bar, I had to make my wifi 2.4 only as the wifi to sound bar, TV and mobile phone must always be on the same wifi and I was finding that the wifi kept jumping between 2.4 and 5, so it wouldn't work when the hub switched the wifi. I don't notice any issues with the wifi being only set to 2.4. So do I recommend this soundbar? Yes I do - even better now it is a lot cheaper on Amazon than on Samsung, but if it does stop being Q-symphony, check all (phone, TV and soundbar) are on the same wifi (2.4 or 5).
