Control Sony Soundbar With Samsung Remote

Easy to use and does what we need. Since we already have a Samsung television, even the TV remote control keys adjust the soundbar volume! Now we can hear the television over the nearby furnace noise. Also I read that I can expand it to surround sound, though I haven't looked into that yet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung S50B soundbar is sleek and compact, with a bold and beautiful sound. This is definitely upgrading our movie night experience! It is perfect in size and with minimal affect to room design. Set up was easy and it comes with a wall mount kit. Easily pairs with our Q-Symphony Samsung TV so it combines the TV speakers with the sound bar speakers! It includes a remote although our Samsung TV remote works on both! If you’ve got a Samsung phone, you can walk right up to the soundbar and tap it on the top to play music directly from your phone! Be sure to turn on the option in the smart things app! The sound is clear, and what we were hoping for as we watch movies, play video games and play music in our home. Ideal for our needs for something compact that still provides quality sound—and without muffling of the dialogue!

Setup: 5/5 Took about 10 minutes to setup. The only slight hiccup I had was that I pulled the power strip out of the outlet when putting my Media Center back in place. Other than that the instructions and wizards were very clear on what needed to be done, and worked wonderfully. Ease of use: 5/5 If you used the roku remote before, it works seamlessly with your current remote. Universal remotes that control the volume on the TV will also control the speaker volume, which was a pleasant surprise. I haven't used the voice remote much, but I've never been a big voice remote user in general, so I can't comment on that. Sound Quality ((4/5) For it's class) They sound about on par with a 2.1 soundbar and sub woofer. I was really quite surprised by the quality of bass that these speakers produced. I was fully prepared to have my first recommendation be to have a sub woofer port. Though I'd still like that feature, it's really not as necessary as you'd expect from a pair of small Bluetooth stereo speakers. Value: 5/5 For the money, they are better than most soundbar/subs in this class, and far easier and cleaner to setup. They do not replace a 5.1+ system or anything, but they also are significantly less costly, and easier to setup than most comparable, and costlier, sound bars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The LG soundbar delivers impressive sound quality without taking up too much space. Its sleek design fits seamlessly with my TV stand. While the remote control is a bit confusing initially, the LG soundbar mobile app offers a convenient alternative. I was able to easily pair my TV remote to control the soundbar's volume, which is a nice touch. The bass is powerful and enhances both movies and music, and vocals are clear and easy to understand. Unfortunately, I didn’t experience a strong sense of surround sound; the audio primarily comes from the front. Nevertheless, the overall sound quality is excellent for the price.

Used as soundbar for our Samsung TV.

I bought this tv in December with the B&H Payboo credit card, so I paid no sales tax. During that week B&H had a 10% off Sony special so I paid just under $4500 total with free shipping. Wow! The price was too hard to refuse. You have to love the specials only B&H periodically has. I had the tv in my living room in 5 days. I don't own an LG G3 or Samsung S95C to compare to, but I can attest that the picture on the A95L is amazing. I don't have cable so I just stream. I use the google Chromecast which is included in the tv. I run an HDMI eARC cable from the tv to my Samsung soundbar. What I love is the one Sony remote controls the soundbar through the eARC cable. I push power and it turns on the tv and soundbar and controls the sound. Everything is so simple. No more cable boxes for me with the separate remote. If I want cable again I'll stream Hulu or YouTube tv. Back to the picture - it's awesome what this tv does with 4k programs. Put on the Crown, or other movies or programs filmed in 4k and you feel like you are in the room it's so realistic. My suggestion is to watch in vivid picture mode, as there is a huge increase in brightness, and I believe definition. It's hard to watch anything in 1080p because there is no comparison. I did test the tv's sound, and my Samsung soundbar with sub is much better. That said, in my opinion the tv is better than advertised. I can't even describe how amazing it is to watch 4k content. It's unbelievably good. I love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So, it's been a week with my Sony Soundbar. I have watched sitcoms and movies with this soundbar and the sound has been great. So I gave this Sony soundbar the ultimate test by watching the Star Wars series and the soundbar adapted to sound needed at the right time, allowing you to hear the characters and the background sounds. The soundbar is easy to hook up, it's Bluetooth capable, and the remote lets you pick the right sound based on what you are listening to. The remote even has a night feature that allows you to hear the dialogue without bothering the wife. Also, the remote has a feature that allows you to just hear the voices clearer, which is a good feature for those with hearing impairments. I have my Sony in our bedroom connected to a 55' and it provides great sound in this space. I will be purchasing another for my son during the holiday, and I do recommend this soundbar.

I needed a better sound source for my Sony Bravia TV but my space was limited. The Bose soundbar fit the shelf underneath my wall-hung TV perfectly. Installation was easy and control of the sound bar with either the cable remote or TV remote was easily obtained. Yes, the bass is less than with an independent woofer but wall shaking low-pitched sound was not what I was seeking. This is just one of many Bose products I own and experience with the other products led me to choose this soundbar.

Unfortunatly there is no chance to use only one (BlueTooth) Samsung Remote Control for TV and Sonos-System. Any Ideas / Recomendations???

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