Samsung Soundbar Volume Control With Cable Remote

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.

I like that my new roku has the volume control on the remote so i only need one 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.

It’s nice having the volume control on the side of the remote

Have only had it for a few days, but I love the power switch and volume control on the remote.

The new remote with volume control is a welcome addition to our latest Roku

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 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.

Works also to control my television's volume, etc., using the same remote as for the Roku box. Love it!
