Add Surround Speakers To Samsung Soundbar

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased soundbar for my home office, which also has a Samsung smart monitor. The set up was very simple and was playing audio within 15 minutes via wifi and included hdmi cable. The included subwoofer is a nice touch to the mighty sound of the soundbar. I was so impressed with the overall sound from playing music and streaming video....I added a pair of the wireless Samsung surround sound speakers (SWA 9500). I have a complete surround sound in my office that rivals my Q900 with SWA 9500 surround sound speakers.

After owing this for over a month Bass just seemed very weak. No matter what I would do with the adapt iq system it just sounded very low. Almost non existent. After reading and a bit of forum on that subject I found this solution and now bass is loud heavy and wall shaking. My set up contains the surround speakers, soundbar 700 and bass module 700. Instructions for better bass 1. Remove all accessories from soundbar 2. Add only surround speakers (if you have them) 3. Run adapt iq 4. Add the bass module That’s it! You should notice much more bass in fact I was at 100 for the sub level and now I’m at 40. It’s substancially different and doesn’t effect the sound quality at all. Make sure to remove the bass module every time you run adapt iq. Some rooms just cancel the bass response. This is an amazing sub just held back by software design. Not hardware.

I bought these speakers for my Sony soundbar to get the total 360 surround sound which is AWESOME!

This soundbar is more powerful than the 900 even though the 900 is so good. I feel more the surround speakers and the base is more deep.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a large bedroom (12’x15’) and very high, vaulted ceilings to 12 feet. The Samsung HW-Q800D is meant to replace an older 2.1 soundbar that vastly lacked in volume and surround features. Can the Samsung HW-Q800D make a difference in such a voluminous space? Let me tell you that it can and then some. First off, let’s talk about connectivity. If you have HDMI eARC on your TV, connect it there, and you are off to the races. If you want Bluetooth connectivity to your phone or tablet, that’s also easy enough as well. Finally, if you want to connect to WiFi to make it a smart speaker with Google Assistant, Alexa, or Bixby that’s easy enough with the Samsung SmartThings app. The sound stage for the HW-Q800D truly does impress even in a large room such as mine. I tested the surround channels through my gaming console settings, and the sound bar’s ability to produce discrete locations for sound that clearly defined height and depth truly is astounding. Credit goes to SpaceFit Sound Pro for being able to calibrate the space in my room for the optimal listening experience. I watched various movies and programs to test the sound quality and was truly amazed at the clarity of dialogue (even better with Active Voice Amplifier on), the rumble of bass from action scenes, and the fidelity of music from soundtracks. Believe me when I say it is a very enjoyable and immersive experience. I have found that even with streaming music and programming that only has 5.1 or stereo, this system makes everything sound all that much better. Now, the only drawback to this soundbar is if you truly wanted the extra surround stage with rear speakers. If your set-up does not require this, then this is truly the best choice for a single surround soundbar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X capabilities.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am something of a Samsung aficionado and couldn't wait to try this product out. My apartment is on the small side but with no central A/C it gets loud in the living room which also doubles as my office. I wanted a solution to louder sound and to improve the standard from my Samsung 4K UHD TV. This AIO Soundbar is a perfect fit. It doesn't take up a lot of room and was super easy to install. Pairing it with my TV took a minute to find that I had to re-enable the HDMI eARC settings on the TV. I have had the TV for 2 years and suspect if it was newer, it might have gelled right away. Either way, it works great and is a fantastic addition to my entertainment experience. I haven't played with any of the advance controls, like the equalizer, and the sound still blows me away. Even in my kitchen with the oven fan on the sound is clear and crisp. Background noises and "surround" features are amazing! More than once I had to turn MUTE the TV because the "surround" sounds were so realistic. The soundbar pairs seamless with my TV remote and my in-home voice assistant. I have to say if you are putting off getting a AIO soundbar, don't! The Samsung S50B is AMAZING!

Paired with the Bose Soundbar, these 'virtually invisible' surround speakers transformed my lounge into a cinema.

We already owned the Soundbar 300, bass module and the virtually invisible surround speakers, so when we remodelled and wanted an additional system for our living room, we knew where to start. We were not disappointed! The sound from these TINY, beautfiul speakers is truly awesome - easy to setup and very discreet with the accessory mounts for the ceiling! They add real depth to watching movies, but also when playing music ensure the entire room is filled with tunes. Using the adaptiq setup was a breeze too. My only issue is that the Google Assistant which, while it works very well, seems to think I am hard of hearing as he shouts at me when replying - resulting in a distorted retort also but this is a soundbar issue and not related to the surround speakers.

i purchased these speakers to accompany the hw-q700a surround system i bought a couple of months ago. what a game changer! the ambiance and surround sound gives you that theater-like feel right in your living room; phenomenal. i was able to connect them to my receiver/soundbar in only a few seconds. once synced, you can adjust and set the volume from the soundbar's menu. if you are looking to add a little more *wow factor* to your movie watching experience, definitely go with these. i'd suggest the wireless version so you won't have to run the speakers to a receiver and have even more wires.

This is a follow on to my review of the Soundbar 700, wanted to let everyone know about the surround speaker option for the system. This is an excellent addition to an already incredible surround sound system. The build quality is very high end as expected and the speakers installed relatively easy, you will need to “assemble” the connectors for the back of the speakers; everything you need is included and it allows you customize the length of the power cable for a clean install, you do however need to find someplace for the power brick (about the size of a laptop power supply) but other than that it is very straightforward and easy enough to add to the Soundbar 700. The configuration part can be tricky if you try and connect them to the Soundbar 700 via the remote control, I would highly suggest using the app instead as it is much easier than the key combinations needed for the remote method. Also, if you are adding these after you have installed and configured the Soundbar 700 then you will need to run the ADAPTiQ setup again to gain the full use of the speakers. I can tell you that after using the system without the surround and then adding and properly configuring them, you will not be disappointed with the results. I thought at first glance that there was no way the tiny speakers would make a noticeable difference but I was wrong, they add a depth and dimension to the sound that gives it a 3D sound field; I was very impressed with the results just from adding these little jewels. A final thought… If you are already spending the money on the base system, then for a little extra the surround speakers will complete the package; I would say it is akin to buying car and adding the chrome wheels (it is the little extra that makes a world of difference).
