SAMSUNG S801D 3.1.2ch Soundbar w/Wireless Dolby Atmos Audio, Ultra Slim Design, Q-Symphony, SpaceFit Sound Pro, Adaptive Sound, Game Mode Pro with Alexa Built-in, HW-S801D/ZA

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.

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.

This a great match to The Frame TV's, primarily because the sound bar only sticks out 1.75 inches when wall mounted, so it's a nice match to the slim profile of the TV. I snowed one star because the mounting hardware is garbage. The wall anchors provided are terrible and the screws wouldn't thread through the tips, that caused them to fail and spin a bigger hole in the drywall. Take my advice and get some good mounting toggles at the hardware store BEFORE you mount this. Otherwise, it sounds great and I really like the look of it on the wall compared of my previous sound bar.

I was skeptical about not having a sub-woofer but am very pleased with the sound quality. I have paired this with a 75" Samsung TV. Thanks to the Q-Symphony technology the sound coming from the TV and soundbar are sync'd perfectly. Would recommend to anyone who has a Samsung TV with Q-Symphony. Well worth the money.

Very sad! Paid almost $400 for a sound bar that was listed to be compatible with my Samsung D50 TV. It arrived & I hired an electrician to install it & paid $100 for his service only to find out the thing doesn't work! No sound comes from the TV through the sound bar. In order for that to occur, now I have to buy another cable that I will have to try & attach myself. Now I'm up to $510.00 & I still don't have clear sound from my TV until I invest more money. This is unacceptable & I'm not very pleased, to say the least. What will a big company like you do to make me happy? I don't have money to burn.

Purchased for a small bedroom to go with a 2015 Samsung QN90 television due to the supposed benefit between the two. The vocals are clear and bright and the midrange is solid for a small soundbar. It gets plenty loud but it severely lacks in any action scene and in bass. Trying to find the additional sub woofer to see if it will help. I do not notice any room correction after setting it to run and the different settings don’t seem to do much in terms of sound. It was easy to setup and WiFi worked fairly well with only an occasional drop of signal and a minimal delay which could probably be removed by adjusting settings. eArc connection had the best overall performance to my ears. In all fairness the TV was just released and not in stores at the time. Possible updates could change the overall experience. I’d suggest reading the reviews before purchasing. For now my older unit (S***s) sounded much better, even if not as advanced as the Samsung.

I've been on the quest for a sound bar since I upgraded my TV last year. I wanted the Q-Symphony integration for my Samsung QN65 but didn't want, or need, a high-end unit. For my use, I didn't see the value of spending a lot of money on a sound bar and additional surround sound speakers. I'd read all the reviews and decided to give the S700D a try. Set up was a breeze. I switched of the power strip to my TV, plugged in the sub-woofer and sound bar, switched the power strip back on and everything connected seamlessly. The only setting under audio I had to change was to select "TV + Soundbar" to enable the Q-Symphony function. I noticed right away that the dialog from the unit was much clearer than the TV speakers alone had been prior to installing the sound bar. I was concerned that I didn't hear sound from the TV speakers while watching standard streaming content, news, etc. Apparently the Q-Symphony function only works while viewing streaming content with 5.1 audio, such as Netflix movies and shows. If you want to put the system through it's paces, I highly recommend watching "Damsel" and "Oblivion", both on Netflix. The sound was HUGE and the TV speakers became part of the 5.1 surround effect. With my premium subscription to MAX, I was able to watch content streaming in 4K with Dolby Atmos audio and was very impressed by surround effect produced by the S700D sound bar and TV speakers. Since I do not have rear speakers, I wouldn't say the sound is "immersive" but there is a substantial depth, clarity, separation, bass response and dynamic range in the audio making this system a great value and option for anyone wanting to improve their listening experience. Many streaming providers offer premium subscriptions that offer 4K UHD and Dolby Atmos such as Netflix and MAX. I added the sound bar to my Smart Things app which does make controlling features a little easier. I'm not sure why but the only sound modes available are "Game" and "Adaptive Sound". I'm using adaptive sound which monitors the audio in real time and adjust for optimum sound quality. I'm very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend it!

I grabbed this on sale at 250 hoping it would be better than my previous soundbars. I had an Insiginia that was too tinny, and old, so it made sense... and I have been rocking 2 Vizio M Series bars, 2 different models, on 2 different eARC Dolby Atmos setups. When I upgraded to an OLED recently I noticed that both of the Vizio Soundbars had a terrible issue of cutting out low bass frequencies when at low volumes and it started to drive me absolutely nuts. There is nothing physically or functionally wrong with either of the Vizio bars, it's just how they are - and that's a huge problem. They were also both 2.1 speakers. Now this Samsung blows every soundbar I've heard out of the water. Got it out of the box today, setup was easy enough, remote functions well and the instructions made it easy to figure out... this thing has the perfect thumping bass I was looking for. Not quiet, you can feel it in your chest a bit, but it isn't blowing the room apart or muddying the other sounds and tones. The extra speakers compared to what I had are surely helping, but it also has great quality for my games, PS5, Switch, All of my retro systems running through a Retrotink 4K, from NES to PS3 era... it all sounds great and works well with this bar. And no more annoying poppy crackling, in and out low frequency bass at low volumes - and trust me I checked with my ear right on the thing at the lowest possible volumes. It sounds great! The best tip I can give, be sure to find the best "base" setting you like first, for me it was Game mode, then adjust your bass and sub levels with the remote, then treble, and THEN, do your channel level. I'd suggest focusing on the center first then boost or lower your side speakers. It sounds great. I'm very happy. Paired right away no issues at all with the LG B4 OLED 48". If you're like me and already have a bunch of stuff plugged up and want an all in one soundbar with no separate subwoofer or speakers for a bedroom-sized setup, look no further. You've found one of the best, especially for the price. Even came with the mounting bits - but you WILL need to provide 2 of your own screws and possibly drywall anchors to put the mount hinges up, those are not included!
