  • Really happy with this purchase
Model: HW-A550/ZA Style: Soundbar Only
This was my move from the built-in tv speakers to something external. HOLY COW. What a difference. I used to have to turn the tv speakers up to about 60 to hear quiet movie scenes, especially if the kids were playing in the background. The tv speakers seemed to not get any louder once you hit about 30. This soundbar is GREAT. The first movie I watched after I got it was Mad Max. The sound experience was incredible compared to what I had before. I used the included digital audio wire to connected directly to the TV (Sony LED tv from 2011) and there was no lag between the screen and the audio. The speaker turns on automatically when I turn on the tv. The onyl negative is that I have to use 2 different remotes now, since I can't control the audio on the tv. The volume must be controlled via the soundbar remote instead of the tv. This may be different for other tvs, and I suspect a Samsung TV would maybe allow this? I've also used the bluetooth for playing music through my phone via Spotify. It works great. Pairs easily, easy to change the input on the soundbar with the remote to bluetooth, and start playing. For my application, it sits on top of the mantle, and I love the minimalist look. It's not super noticeable, and is easy to put some decor around or in front. The setup was really easy. The wireless subwoofer connected right away, and I haven't had any issues with it. I have it positioned about 10 feet from the soundbar behind a recliner in a corner. I also like that you can control how much bass boost via the remote. This allows you to tune more or less subwoofer to the sound and you can really tell the difference when you change it. I'll probably be getting another one of these when I finish my basement. ... show more

  • So far... GREAT !!!!
Model: HW-A650/ZA Style: Soundbar Only
Delivered on time in great shape. Woofer paired automatically. Manually pair sound bar to T.v , there's no easy prompt to pair. Many great features. Usb, audio, bluetooth. Etc connect options. Full USB. Sound: sounds great hooked up to my Samsung 65' 7000 series 4k TV. I use the Dts-x sound mode . It's center channel/ speaker allows for great clear vocals (No more vol at 65 to hear it). Sounds great for music fills my whole house with great sounding music , bass could be better when comes to lows. It's missing that deep rumble of low bass, but overall sounds good. After all it's a cheaper option to improve your audio. Really like it for music . This is my 1st sound bar so I'm happy with it . I do wish display was bigger . As far as remote. It's decent (picture included). I use a universal. For what it's worth I stream Hulu sounds great in app. No cable. ... show more

  • Great value. Disappointed by inability to use TV remote to control soundbar
Model: HW-A450/ZA Style: Soundbar Only
Im using the HW-A450 soundbar with my Series 7 Samsung TV (2019 model) I love the quality of the sound for the price. Setup was easy. The subwoofer synced to the soundbar by itself. My only complaint is that when using the optical connection I can't use the TV's remote to control the volume, the only way to do that is by using the Bluetooth connection which had a delay and the quality of sound wasn't as good. I decided to not sacrifice on sound quality and use the soundbar remote for volume control. I'm disappointed that I even had to make that choice. I can't stand having to keep up with a second remote. My other soundbar is a Samsung Hardon Kardon that connected to the TV using HDMI. I was able to get high quality sound AND use the TV's remote on this same TV, and my newer 2020 8 Series Samsung. If you don't mind having to keep up with a second remote then this A450 soundbar is an excellent choice. If I had known I was going to have this issue ahead of time I'd have just spent the extra 50$ and bought the A550 that is HDMI capable. Still contemplating returning and upgrading. ... show more

  • Easy to use, easy to setup
Model: HW-A550/ZA Style: Soundbar Only
I don’t watch tv every day, and when I do I watch I maybe an hour or so. I’m not looking for or expecting a sound system that will blow me away. I wanted something that takes up minima space, and had better clarity than TV speakers. I got this on sale for around $110, and for the price the A550 works well. It pairs with the sub so you can place the sub where you want it and you don’t need to worry about routing wires. It also pairs with your phone so you can play music from it. The soundbar looks clean and doesn’t have annoying lights. You can mount it on the wall if you want. It’s just a soundbar, so be aware it is not as “full” sounding as having 5 physical speakers for 5.1. It can use HDMI ARC, HDMI, or optical and BT for other devices. Gripes: 1. When using Optical the sound cut out. Not sure why, but I switched to HDMI. 2. Installing updates requires downloading a file to a certain type of flash drive, and then inserting into the soundbar. There is instructions on it, but some of my flash drives were incompatible. ... show more

  • What an improvement over the HW-M450
Model: HW-A650/ZA Style: Soundbar Only
I took advantage of the Black Friday deal of $208. This was an upgrade for my 2018 Samsung HW-M450. The sub woofer is a bit smaller then the woofer of the 450, but sounds about the same. What really blows me away is the tweeters/midrange speakers. I demoed this 650 with Omaha Beach scene of Saving Private Ryan. Such clarity of sound, I don't recall ever hearing before. The Ricochet of the rounds off the defensive hedgehogs was startling clear. An outstanding purchase and upgrade. Now I just need to sell the 450... /# Edit #/ Soundbar would not turn on with the ARC connection to my Samsung TV. Unplugging the TV seemed to fix it, but only for a day. I had to do a complete reset via the settings in the TV to get the soundbar to reliably turn on with the TV. It has been 10 day now and the reset seems to be the solution. I was close to returning this, but now it is a keeper. ... show more
