The ideal surround sound speaker
on May 9, 2024
Posted by: marithzaa

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dolby atoms sound quality of this device is seriously impressive; it delivers clear highs and deep, punchy bass that really elevates the listening experience. Its size is just perfect, not too big, not too small, making it ideal for any space.
I really enjoyed playing around with different sound modes. The features that I most enjoy are Standard and DTS virtual; the sounds are crystal clear, it makes you feel fully immersed.
I found that Surround and Game mode are very similar, in the way the sounds were portrayed. Surround was perfect for an action movie. Having played a few games with the new speaker, I noticed that I was really engulfed in the gameplay. This definitely enhanced the entire experience.

I found the voice amplifier to be pretty cool. It absolutely brought out and emphasized the voice from the music. This speaker brings out another element from the voice that would otherwise not be seen or noticed on other speakers.
What I love most is how easy it is to use and connect to other devices. It’s nice to have an app to control the speaker and changes its features from your mobile device. Connecting it to our TV was simple and quick. It was just as easy to switch to phones whenever I needed.
Overall, if you're looking for a speaker that delivers great sound, is easy to use, and plays well with others, this is definitely worth checking out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

An Good Set of Speakers that pair design and sound
on May 17, 2024
Posted by: Wmhsung

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sound bar has an excellent design a super thin sleek look that could be mistaken as part of the tv as it blends in so well. The sub is also a very small well designed I love the fact you dont need to directly plug these woofers to the sound bar to match up. I ended up putting this behind our sofa to get that rumble effect like in the theaters and it worked well for that.
The stand out feature for this set definitely has to be the slim profile of the sound bar it is able to still recreate DTS and dolby atmos (quite well in fact) for the size of the sound bar. Although with beautiful design comes with sacrifices like a loss in some of the deeper lows associated with thicker bigger bodied sound bars and smaller speaker sizes overall. This presents less than ideal sound quality for some types of music and sounds on the movies but for the sleek look these sacrifices i think are okay.
The sound loud enough and very clear in the mids I have no issue hearing vocals and talking on tv shows or movies and it rarely drowns out any sounds. I can definitely hear individual sound tracks clearly which i was very surprised. There does seem to be some digital processing within the soundbars software but it seems to be quite good for watching tv shows and movie so i dont really mind it.
We do get to areas where the sacrifices are too great for me in this part of the review. There is no full size hdmi and instead the soundbar outputs from a mini HDMI port with a associated micro usb for "service". both of these ports seem very outdated for 2024 and are in desparate need of an update even with the sleek design i feel this type of IO is not useful for most consumers even if samsung provides a cable for the HDMI port. Another minus is that due to the small size a power block is neeed to fully power the sound bar making it another item most people will need to find a place to hide, and thus diminishes the sleekness of the sound bar.

This sound bar absolutely blew me away
on May 26, 2024

from Oak park
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soundbar absolutely blew me away.
The soundbar is so thin compared to the Older Samsung soundbar I was replacing ,with out the back speakers I was worried that it would be missing a ton of power and sound compared to my old soundbar "wow was I wrong". Once the new soundbar was mounted under my Samsung Frame TV I was amazed on how thin it was on the wall.
The soundbar connected to the Samsung smartThings app very easy and just needed a quick update. It also sets itself up with the adaptive sound feature and adapts to your room. Once it was updated, I was connected to the tv I turned on StarWars Asoka and my god the sound from the little soundbar just blew me away, with the dolby atoms.
With the Q-Symphony option it uses the speakers on my tv at the same time "I think this is only works with Select Samsung tv's" this help fill the room with even more surround sound.
The soundbar came with a micro Hdmi to standard Hdmi cable to attach to your tv so nothing extra to buy " this is a great extra" you can also connect the sound bar via bluetooth or your home wireless.
Once it was connected to my Wireless network and SmartThings it seamlessly connected to most of the tech in my home and can easily stream music right to it.
It also has Alexa built in just had to connect via the Smarthings app it also works with Google home/Apple airplay and chromecast.
When I connected to my X box I used the game mode and the sound it creates in the room is a game changer.
In my short time with this soundbar I truly have been amazed by it the most difficult part was mounting the bar on the wall and that only to 25 minutes and I just wanted to make sure it was dead center and even on the wall. But just how easy it was to connect to the tv and my other devices and the crazy amount of base and sound that come out of such a small package still is just amazing.

Posted by: SonnyJay
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with this slim but amazing soundbar with bass unit. I added the Samsung s9300 rear surround speakers for the ultimate Dolby atmos sound.
So easy to connect because they are wireless!
