Amazing sound bar!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in love with the new Samsung soundbar HW-S800D. It is perfect for our living room, where I am using now.
The Dolby atoms feature enhances sound to a greater level creating a realistic and immersive experience for everyone. The sleek appearance of the sound bar makes it suitable for any living spaces, looking elegant and less bulky for display (wireless feature is a wonderful add on). Multiple sound options including the game mode is highly desirable for gamers. I like the voice amplifier feature on this Samsung sound bar enabling to hear the dialogues more clearly, avoiding any outside noises.
I highly recommend this amazing product from Samsung. As always, this brand met and in fact exceeded my expectations with this new product launch :)

Slick and Capable

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a 7.1.4 Samsung Q90R soundbar in our living room, and we are quite happy with it. I have been searching for a compact soundbar for the bedroom, and the Samsung HW-S800D soundbar seemed like a perfect fit. Initially, I was unsure about its performance, but after installing it and trying it out, I was very impressed. The sound is clear and crisp, and the virtual surround feature sounds great, even without the side and rear speakers. The slim and lightweight design allowed me to install it just under the TV on a Full Motion TV Wall Mount, giving it a sleek look. The subwoofer adds extra punch, and since it's wireless, I was able to discreetly hide it inside the bed frame.

Great sound out of a insanely thin soundbar
on June 17, 2024

from Brookhaven
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I have to acknowledge is how incredibly thin this soundbar is. After reading the description I knew it would be thin but I still am in awe at how slim it truly is. It fits perfectly in front of my slim TV and doesn't block off any of the picture like normal, thick soundbars would.
Now onto the sound. I am still amazed at how such great sound can come out of such a thin soundbar. Dialog is crystal clear, base is incredible with the help of the decently small subwoofer, and background noise blends in well. I'm usually against using settings that auto adjust based on what's being played, but the adaptive sound setting seems to work really well at controlling Dialog and background noise levels depending on what's being watched.
Music sounds great also when streaming from my phone. No cut-outs and everything sounds crystal clear.
I can't put into words how thin this soundbar is and how crazy it is that it sounds as good as it does with how small it is. I never thought to ever try a Samsung soundbar, but am extremely happy I did.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome sound

from Stetson
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This system provides all around surround sound. It makes movies feel like you’re in a Theater and provides sound as you where right there. I would definitely recommend this system if your looking to improve your sound quality as it submerges quality sound all around. The slim design is also a huge plus as well as the fact that the system can be wireless if you choose. It was simply to set up and there are many settings to set it to your liking. Perfect system to add to your setup. I set mine on a tv stand temporarily, but can’t wait to put it on the wall with the tv for a prefect look.

Glorious Full Sound Experience
on June 18, 2024

from Mastic beach
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first unboxed the HW-S800D 3.1.2ch Soundbar with Wireless Dolby Atmos, I honestly wasn't expecting to be blown away.
Firsy Impressions:
The soundbar itself was thin and sleek and weightless. Coming from a sound system that had me bogged with wires and multiple speakers I was positive the Samsung soundbar wouldn't deliver half of what I wad used to.
Boy was I wrong.
The sounbar itself delivered sound quality better than theaters and the subwoofer that pairs with it offered a ground shaking, blow your mind effect that had my jaw unhinged. How could something so small offer such amazing clarity and sound.
It took watching shows and movies to a whole new level.
Sound: 10 out of 10 superb!
Bass: ground breaking. Literally. I live the deep bass tones I got from the subwoofer. The best sound quality in any piece of equipment I've ever had.
Setup: this is where things got tricky. I followed the instructions to the tee because that's the kind of person I am. However once it said to pair up with the smart things app it left me hanging from there to figure out how to pair the soundbar to my TV. Personally I am a tech freak and was able to navigate till I found what I needed to pair the two. However it was nowhere near as basic and simple as I was expecting it to be and those who are not entirely tech or audio savvy may find themselves frustrated.
Extras: Other neat features were that rhe soundbar can easily pair with Alexa so I could play songs through alexa on it with a sound and bass I had never heard before.
Honestly the speaker paired with alexa easier than it did with my Samsung 2024 Frame TV.
Overall: personally I love it. The HW-S800D 3.1.2ch Soundbar with Wireless Dolby Atmos delivered a higher quality set than I was even expecting. Sound quality is pin drop stunning, and your ears will be picking up on things you'd never heard before. The subwoofer is phenomenal and once you figure out how to navigate through the settings you'll have a fantastic time figuring out what works best for your room and fine tuning the sound to your liking.
I didn't set my soundbar up in the conventional way because I hate wires and this soundbar has them. With my Samsung Frame TV I simply hid the bar underneath the table in which my TV sits allowing it to be almost invisible and wire free.
