Samsung Soundbar 5.1 Channel Output For Bluetooth

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.

[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.

I received my SRS-NS7 from B&H about a week ago and was totally hooked on it within an hour of starting to use it. However I want to offer some strong advice to those who plan to use one of these while watching TV alongside other viewers. My wife and I normally sit about 12 ft from our TV monitor and typically sit close enough that we rub shoulders. We have a Sonos soundbar under the monitor, with surround sound speakers at each end of our loveseat. I wear hearing aids but Patty does not. The optical output of the TV goes to a splitter with one output going to the soundbar and the other going to the Bluetooth transmitter for the SRS-NS7. With the arrangement described above, we both heard sound from the soundbar and the NS7, and there was enough latency difference to irritate us both. I have a technical background and had anticipated such a latency effect, but had no knowledge of the actual delays with either device. I spoke with an audio expert at B&H, asking for advice about a variable delay device that has optical input(s) and output(s). He could not recommend such a device that is currently available from B&H but did suggest a Felston DD740 that B&H used to carry. I looked up the characteristics of the DD740 and agreed that it seemed to be exactly what I needed. I purchased one from LipFix.com, after talking with their Nick Johnson. It arrived yesterday. After connecting my new DD740 in series with the optical input to the Bluetooth transmitter of the SRS-NS7 and experimenting with the delay, I found that a delay of 55mS yields NO perceptible latency effects that interfere with either what Patty and I hear while watching TV. The bottom line: We both enjoy hearing REALLY EXCELLENT sound, including very clear dialogue, while watching TV together AND I get the benefit of superb sound while editing videos etc. with the SRS-NS7 connected to the Bluetooth of my computer systems. I could not be happier with this purchase! Pete

Please specify Bluetooth version. P.S: Waiting for MID with USB-C and Bluetooth 5.1.

This is my first time buying a 5.1 surround soundbar, and I must say I'm pretty impressed with the sound.

Used as soundbar for our Samsung TV.

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my vizio 5.1 channel sound bar 3 months ago and m series 65" TV last month. It's the best surround sound system I've ever had. even scares the girl friend occasionally because she thinks someone is behind her. the features on the TV are also amazing. before switching to vizio I had samsung and I'll stick with vizio for a while

bought the dh590 to replace my 20 year old sony 5.1 (old school; one channel went) WOW the features on this thing are amazing, navigating the tone's, eq's, and the bluetooth are so easy! would definitely recommend to anyone needing quality home theater gear on a budget!
