Bluetooth Not Working With Arc Wired Samsung Soundbar

I purchased these speakers after reading on Reddit that they are compatible with my S801b soundbar. My setup is as follows: Samsung freestyle 2 S801b Atmos slim soundbar These 9500 speakers. The freestyle and soundbar aren't wired and connect via WIFI which to me was quite a shock because I have a separate setup in my other room with Yamaha amp, 5 speakers and a sub. To find that the freestyle and soundbar didn't even need a cable and delivered Atmos over WiFi was quite frankly, incredible. The subwoofer is especially great. I then decided I needed rear speakers and I looked at various options, there were a couple of models and one even had a separate box that the speakers wired into; I wasn't a fan of those. After reading a few Reddits I thought I would take a gamble and even though the soundbar isn't listed as compatible, I went for it. After unboxing the speakers I connected them to the mains then switched on the soundbar and pressed up to sync. The soundbar found the speakers straight away and hey presto it all worked! The sounds is brilliant and totally understand sync with no dropouts. I would recommend connecting these devices to your 5ghz WiFi network and connecting all your other stuff to 2.4 to prevent any interference just to be certain. To be clear these speakers need a mains socket each but otherwise they are wireless with no extra connection box. The rears also include Atmos height speakers so there are 4 rears in total. They aren't just a normal pair so well worth the cost. Samsung you need to update your compatibility charts to include the 800 and 801b. I can't fault these at all, the Atmos bubble everything creates is perfect and better than a thousand pounds worth of separates with not a speaker cable in site.

Used as soundbar for our Samsung TV.

Listen to music and adds depth to ARC soundbar on television.

I was able to mount Samsung soundbar easily. It meets my need.

Great as Bluetooth headphones, over the ear wired headphones and noise cancelling.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung UltraSlim Soundbar has completely transformed my home entertainment experience. Its slim design seamlessly blends with my TV setup, occupying minimal space while delivering maximum impact. What truly sets it apart is its exceptional sound quality. The clarity of dialogue, richness of mid-tones, and depth of bass elevate every viewing session in a new way compared to my old setup! I’m a huge bass guy and I was very impressed with the sound especially from what is a very compact sub. Setting up the soundbar was a breeze, even for someone like me who isn't particularly tech-savvy. The included instructions were clear and concise, guiding me through the process effortlessly. Connecting it to my TV via HDMI ARC was straightforward, and within minutes, I was enjoying theater-quality sound in the comfort of my own home. The soundbar also comes with a user-friendly remote that allows me to adjust the volume, switch between different sound modes, and fine-tune the audio to my preferences with ease. One of the features I appreciate most about this soundbar is its Bluetooth connectivity. Being able to stream music wirelessly from my phone adds a whole new dimension to my entertainment setup. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my Samsung UltraSlim Soundbar. Its combination of sleek design, exceptional sound quality, and user-friendly features make it a standout choice for anyone looking to elevate their home entertainment setup. If you want to enjoy top-notch audio without sacrificing space or aesthetics, look no further!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Samsung Soundbar (HW-S700D) really impressed me. I was a bit skeptical at first as I thought the slimness of this soundbar may not produce good enough sound, however I was pleasantly surprised when I fired up one of the Marvel movies and the sound was pretty good! The subwoofer also did not disappoint, the deep bass was just enough for our living room. I liked the handy remote, and the soundbar sits unobtrusively with our TV and pumps awesome theatrical Dolby Atmos. I would definitely recommend this Soundbar to anyone looking to upgrade their sound system, as it is easily installed and ready to wow you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was previously using a standalone soundbar without a subwoofer from a different brand which wasn’t too bad but having the Samsung QN-95B 75” TV and knowing what the built-in TV speakers were capable off I was also missing out on using them until I discovered Q-Symphony that allows the TV Speakers to be used in addition to the soundbar. The Samsung HW-S700D Soundbar was a perfect fit was my living space and served this purpose extremely well. The Soundbar and Subwoofer was super easy to setup. Although wireless capable, I chose to use the HDMI cable provided and it was an instant detection and pairing. My Samsung TV automatically recognized the Q-Symphony compatibility and adjusted the sound accordingly for maximum balance and range. The SpaceFit Sound Pro worked its magic to utilize the position and space and adjust automatically even while watching content in real time. No other setup required. I moved the subwoofer to various positions, and ultimately had it next to the sofa which enhanced the bass and feel. The Soundbar and Subwoofer provide great sound levels with well-balanced Treble, Mid, and Bass levels. The bass was a much-needed addition and gave the overall feel a more realistic vibe specially when watching movies and certainly listen to music. The bar is super slim yet performed extremely well for its form factor. It took up much less space than other soundbars and the overall design is super sleek to blend in with my room decor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Q800D Soundbar is mind blowing with how clear and satisfying it sounds. I have a few Samsung sound bars and I can't believe how Samsung keeps raising the bar (lol) every time. This soundbar shines with Dolby Atmos content, the immersion is surprisingly better than some home theater setups that are much more expensive. I wish there were more HDMI inputs on the soundbar and that it could support waking up when using a PC. But other than that, this soundbar has modern features that'll work in any smart home ecosystem.

Great picture quality and works really well with Samsung soundbar.
