Samsung 3.1 Channel 340W Soundbar System Google Home

A much better system than Google Home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so thoroughly impressed by this sound bar. Our household loves striving to create the best soundscapes and experiences we can, as we digest a LOT of media. We selected the Samsung HW-S800D (3.1.2 channel setup) knowing that this best carries theater-like sound throughout the large room this lives in. What really sold us was the form factor AND usage of Dolby Atmos, which is largely why the 3.1.2 channel setup sounds as good as it does. Setup was NOT as easy as expected (or as the instructions tried to convince us it was). The subwoofer did not automatically pair with the soundbar like the instructions alluded to, and I had to do the manual pairing process thrice to finally get them to pair. I believe the issue was that the soundbar was trying to download/install a software update after I got it set up on my wifi and in my Smart Things app. I say “I believe”, since there was no indication that this software update was being attempted until after each timeI rebooted the soundbar while following the instructions under troubleshooting the subwoofer. I do like that the Smart Things app integration (and wifi integration for that matter) was optional. It added additional steps to my setup since I understand and appreciate the integrations it provides my household, but I love that it was not mandatory for the folks who may not care. Overall, as frustrating as the setup was for a few moments, the sound quality is immaculate and worth the fuss ten times over.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded my home entertainment system with the Samsung S700D soundbar, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. This sleek and modern soundbar has not only enhanced the aesthetics of my setup but has also delivered exceptional audio quality that has transformed my viewing and listening experience. The soundbar's design seamlessly blends with my TV and room decor, adding a touch of elegance. More importantly, its audio performance is outstanding. The S700D produces immersive sound that fills the entire room, whether I'm watching movies, playing games, or enjoying music. Setting up the soundbar was a breeze, thanks to the wireless subwoofer and Bluetooth connectivity. I could place the subwoofer wherever it provided optimal bass without worrying about tangled cables. Connecting my devices via Bluetooth was effortless, allowing me to stream audio from my smartphone or tablet with ease. One of the standout features is the Adaptive Sound technology, which automatically adjusts audio settings based on what I'm watching or listening to. This ensures clear dialogue in movies and dynamic sound during action scenes, without the need for constant manual adjustments. I also appreciate the convenience of built-in Alexa voice control. With simple voice commands, I can control the soundbar, making it incredibly convenient to use. In conclusion, the Samsung S700D soundbar has exceeded my expectations in terms of design, audio quality, and user-friendly features. If you're looking to elevate your home theater setup with superior sound and modern technology, I highly recommend considering the S700D. It's a fantastic addition to any entertainment system and has quickly become the focal point of my home theater experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung Ultra-Slim 3.1.2ch Soundbar w/ Wireless Dolby Atmos has very full sound and brings movies to life. I would recommend the Samsung Ultra-Slim 3.1.2ch Soundbar w/ Wireless Dolby Atmos.

[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.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded my Soundbar from a 7.1.2 Channel bar to the Samsung Q910D 9.1.2 Channel bar, and the upgrade was beyond worth it! This is a fully immersive experience with sound so good that it almost makes it challenging to focus on the screen. The room my TV is in is long and narrow, so not having the sound bounce around and just sound jumbled & loud has always been tricky. The SpaceFit Sound Pro calibration instantly made the sound amazing. I have the Samsung QN85B Neo QLED TV, and it pairs beautifully with this setup. I did find that setting the soundbar up on SmartThings via the TV had a hiccup, but then I just moved to my phone, and it was all dialed in within a minute to two. The back speakers are awesome! I honestly didn’t know I needed them, especially in my room, but there are so many little nuances to shows and movies that these speakers capture to really make you feel like you are in the middle of the entertainment. I think one of my biggest surprises is the balance that the system provides. The adaptive sound feature is incredible. The dialogue track of everything I have watched is crystal clear no matter if it is an intense action scene, the Taylor Swift concert on repeat with my daughter, or a quieter scene. Trust me, you won’t miss a thing. Another added benefit of pairing this soundbar with a Samsung TV is that the profile is perfect. Currently my TV is not wall mounted, so the soundbar sits perfectly in front of my TV without impeding the picture or leaving a gap between the bar and the TV. It provides a very clean design that feels integrated into the room. I have not tested the soundbar on a different brand of TV to verify that the quality when used with a Samsung TV is better, but all I can say is I will never watch TV the same again. This soundbar makes you appreciate your investment in a decent TV.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced our 10-year-old 2-channel soundbar with this Samsung model for our bedroom, where we love watching movies at night without disturbing our sleeping children. Our old soundbar often made it hard to hear dialogue without turning up the volume, which was problematic with an 8-month-old in the next room. This Samsung soundbar solves that issue with its voice dialogue enhancement feature, which clarifies dialogue without needing to increase the volume. The 5-channel setup delivers excellent audio quality, especially given the compact size of the soundbar. One of the standout features is its smart functionality, particularly the Alexa compatibility. We used to rely on a small Echo Dot for connectivity, but the built-in Alexa on the soundbar has replaced it, providing a significant upgrade in audio quality. Additionally, the Samsung app allows me to switch between audio settings seamlessly from my phone with no lag. Overall, we are very satisfied with this soundbar and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, smart soundbar.

We wanted speakers that did not double as a home surveillance system like Alexa and Google Home devices provide. With Google and Alexa products your in-home behaviors are logged and used in their internal database to develop profiles that can be sold to other companies. Finding a great wireless speaker only has been a challenge until the Roku speakers. One of the best purchases we have ever made for home entertainment. Bold sound and very versatile can unplug them and move to another room and the sound follows to backyard, garage, etc. Looking to buy a 3rd pair.

As an engineer I has hoping for a lot, but the 5.1 channel sound of this complete Arc soundbar based home theater system is far beyond my expectations. Since we have Android phones I did have to enlist my son-in-law with his iPhone to do a more thorough system calibration needed to provide the full scope of sound on modern movies and TV, but once fully calibrated to the room in which it's located the sound is just superb.
