Soundbar For Surround Sound

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

Set up with an older soundbar, and configured for surround sound, and it works outstanding.

I bought these speakers for my Sony soundbar to get the total 360 surround sound which is AWESOME!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first soundbar as we have another expensive surround symptom, which we barely used as the equalizer failed to provide quality listening. The Samsung sound bar is amazing and fills the room with high quality music and I am able to clearly hear dialogue without subtitles. I have 2 children and normally have to watch on very low volume due to variations in sound from ads to actually shows. Would recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the standout features of this soundbar is its surround sound system. With Dolby Atmos technology, sound is not only projected forward but also upwards, creating a three-dimensional audio experience that fills the room. The soundbar's upward-firing speakers add height to the soundstage, immersing you in a sphere of sound that brings movies to life and puts you in the center of the action. Whether it's the thunderous roar of a blockbuster explosion or the subtle ambiance of a quiet scene, the surround sound system delivers an immersive experience that enhances your viewing pleasure. Product Benefits: Dolby Atmos technology creates a captivating surround sound experience. Wireless connectivity eliminates clutter and allows for flexible placement. Adaptive sound technology optimizes audio settings for different content types. Multiple input options, including HDMI and Bluetooth, offer versatility in connectivity. Slim and sleek design complements any home entertainment setup. Personal Experience: As a cinephile and avid gamer, I was eager to upgrade my home audio setup, and the Samsung HW-S800D 3.1.2ch Soundbar did not disappoint. From the moment I set it up, I was impressed by the sound quality and surround sound capabilities. Whether I'm watching the latest blockbuster movie or diving into an intense gaming session, the soundbar pulls me into the action with its immersive audio. One of the things I appreciate most about this soundbar is its versatility. It seamlessly connects to my TV via HDMI ARC and also offers Bluetooth connectivity for streaming music from my smartphone. The wireless subwoofer adds a powerful punch to the bass without the need for messy cables, and the adaptive sound technology ensures that audio settings are optimized for whatever I'm watching or listening to.

I was really disappointed with the lack of depth the Beam soundbar has; even for bedroom surround sound. (Spoiled by my original PlayBar) I treated myself to the Sub Mini for my Birthday and it really gave the surround sound the quality a depth I enjoy... Great investment especially if you like bass! Huge difference!! Highly recommend!

This is a follow on to my review of the Soundbar 700, wanted to let everyone know about the surround speaker option for the system. This is an excellent addition to an already incredible surround sound system. The build quality is very high end as expected and the speakers installed relatively easy, you will need to “assemble” the connectors for the back of the speakers; everything you need is included and it allows you customize the length of the power cable for a clean install, you do however need to find someplace for the power brick (about the size of a laptop power supply) but other than that it is very straightforward and easy enough to add to the Soundbar 700. The configuration part can be tricky if you try and connect them to the Soundbar 700 via the remote control, I would highly suggest using the app instead as it is much easier than the key combinations needed for the remote method. Also, if you are adding these after you have installed and configured the Soundbar 700 then you will need to run the ADAPTiQ setup again to gain the full use of the speakers. I can tell you that after using the system without the surround and then adding and properly configuring them, you will not be disappointed with the results. I thought at first glance that there was no way the tiny speakers would make a noticeable difference but I was wrong, they add a depth and dimension to the sound that gives it a 3D sound field; I was very impressed with the results just from adding these little jewels. A final thought… If you are already spending the money on the base system, then for a little extra the surround speakers will complete the package; I would say it is akin to buying car and adding the chrome wheels (it is the little extra that makes a world of difference).

These surround speakers are fabulous. We have the Bose Base 500 and Soundbar and these are the perfect addition to those products. The sound is clear and precise. The great thing about these speakers is they complement any sound system or more importantly you can use by themselves. Another great aspect of these speakers is the design. They are small and really blend in with the room. It’s amazing how much sounds is packed into these little guys. The setup is so easy and quick. It took us 10 minutes to pair everything together and get them going. If you are in the market for a mind blowing set of surround sound speakers, then these are them.

I cannot say enough about how much I love my new Bose Ultra Soundbar! The difference between using the TV speakers and then this soundbar is like night and day. Watching movies and gaming sounds amazing, just as if we had a full surround sound system set up but without all the wiring and mess. On top of all of this, the soundbar is very sleek and modern looking. We had a football party and many of our guests commented on how nice it looks, as well as sounds. I would recommend this soundbar to anyone looking to have a wonderful surround sound experience without the mess of wiring and speakers.

Besides setting the rear and top levels volume to +6 I found out that by using the adaptive sound mode this is where the 9500S surround speakers shine on, the sound of my Q8000A soundbar was already amazing (be it music, movies , video games, everything sounds great) but when I paired the surround speakers with the soundbar I realized what I had been missing out, it was night and day , as soon as the rear speakers kicked in I knew I was in for a treat, it's just truly amazing the sound I get from these speakers working in tandem with my soundbar. I will no longer use a soundbar without rear speakers, and these not needing a hub to connect to is just the icing on the cake.
