Samsung Soundbar Smart Volume Iff

[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.

No more increasing the volume to hear from the speakers behind a smart tv. This soundbar was easy to install and has made a significant change in HEARING our TV. We should have done this sooner.

i connected these to the samsung hw-801s soundbar and they really completed the sound. the rear speakers are clear and more than loud enough. once i figured out to adjust the surrounds volume through the soundbar remote they were great. i actually had put the volume too high and turned down the volume a little. i recommend if you get these to read some of samsung’s responses to other low rated reviews, it helped me figure out how to adjust them. hopefully the next version of these can be made smaller though.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We wanted to get a soundbar for our living room but we wanted it to be aesthetically pleasing as it’s in our formal living room. It’s a long and narrow room so we wanted something that would help push the sound and boy does it ever! If you have the TV at a lower volume, the projection, base, and noise variances aren’t that noticeable. However, once you turn it up the soundbar comes to life! Everything is crisp and clear and beautifully blends together without getting too bass deep or high pitched. We have tested it on music videos, movies, kids shows, and streaming shows. Everything has been wonderful. Set up was a breeze, literally just a plug and play and we don’t have a Samsung TV. That’s the only bummer as we don’t get to use the Samsung only attributes, but it seamlessly integrated with our fire stick and we can control the volume with that. We are so happy with this soundbar - it met all our expectations and we looked for over a year to find one that met all the marks!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so thrilled that I finally took steps to upgrade my home theatre sound with the Samsung Soundbar S50B. I love my smart TV, but the sound quality on its own is not at all smart. I found myself constantly turning the volume up and down in a battle to find the right level because speaking was too quiet but music and sound effects were way too loud. The Samsung Soundbar has solved that issue immediately with no need for adjustment on my end; the sound as I watch movies, TV, or play video games is well balanced. I also have satellite radio on my TV, and it sounds awesome on the soundbar. Setup was super easy too- I just used the included HDMI cord to plug in to the HDMI/ARC port on my TV, plug in the power cord, and select the source and it was ready to go with no troubleshooting needed. I just love when something works like it's supposed to the first time, and is intuitive. I'm a happy camper!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this as a second screen. At 4k with smart apps (plus my Samsung soundbar) it makes a nice media device next to my work screen. Or switching to extended desktop using the remote is I need to. Very clean design, has speakers and 2 hdmi plus usb-c to plug in my laptop or tablet (dex) if I want to run two devices. Got a great deal too.

Used as soundbar for our Samsung TV.

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

The sound quality is so much better than the smart TV sound. I wish we had purchased the soundbar earlier. We are now re-watching some of our favorite movies to enjoy the enhanced audio. We are new to Roku so we have not used all the features yet, such as listening to audiobooks or radio, but will try soon, as I find Roku easy to use. Our 2nd TV does not have the ports necessary to get the most from a Soundbar Pro. We are now considering replacing that TV so we can use a Soundbar in that room also.

We needed a new soundbar for our gaming area, and the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar more than fits our needs. The first reason I love it is due to the beautiful, non-obtrusive design. It fits nicely at the base of our television, its glossy piano-black finish adding a touch of class. It is low and sleek, so doesn't get in the way of the screen at all. I think it took us only two to three minutes to set up. Power cord, HDMI-eARC, and we were up and running. The sound it produces is just beautiful. We've listened to music, watched live college football games, streamed our favorite tv shows and the newest blockbuster movies. The Smart Ultra Soundbar performs flawlessly in each of these tasks, filling our medium-sized room with clear, crisp sound that envelops us. The BOSE connect app is intuitive to use (just like the dedicated remote). We particularly are enjoying the AI-based dialogue enhancement feature. So many shows and movies have seemed harder to hear the dialogue in for the past few years, and this feature all-but-eliminates the problem. I will definitely recommend this soundbar to any friends and family looking for one. Extremely happy with the product.
