Nice, functional AudioBar!

Out of the box its very functional and easy to use. This came free with my Samsung 6500 Series 46 inch LED television. It looks great, very stylish, but fragile because the speakers are open with no protection or grill. It's a nice unit, better than some sound systems twice the size, and it has decent base from the sub woofer. Overall, not bad [for the money].
Pros: Inexpensive, wireless sub woofer, clean crisp sound.
Cons: display hard to read at a distance., open speakers very fragile.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The sound and sub-woofer performance is better than comparable model of a near price. There are different sound settings of which only one seems worthwhile. Loudness is good and harmonic distortion low at a modest loudness level.
Samsung does not provide adequate support for third party remote controls and would seem to have problems with the control for a Samsung TV remote’s ability to control the level of the sound bar or to turn the unit on/off while using the Digital Cable.
The sound bar display is tiny and dim; certainly NOT readable for the sound level and no lights blink when the remote changes sound levels, modes, or functions which makes its hard to use. No light comes on when the sound bar is muted either. There is nothing that shows what sound mode is selected (six different sound modes - MUSIC, NEWS, DRAMA, CINEMA, SPORTS, GAME)
HDMI and Optical cables are not supplied.
A tool to access a reset option on the Bluetooth within the Sub-woofer (very slender small hole only access) is NOT supplied.

The power cord is hard wired and does not allow a pluggable right-angle standard power cord.
There is no installation drawing showing the proper dimensions to position of the bracket. The bracket supplied only allows co-linear mounting not also mounting from above.

I have not resolved the issue of having to use two different remotes to watch and hear sound.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Fantastic sound for the price!

I bought the HW-E450 to replace a Bose CineMate Series II speaker set I had on my 55" Samsung TV. The Bose had no adjustments of any kind. All you got was sound. The HW-E450 has many different settings for the type of sound you want. Everything is now crystal clear. I'm very happy that I ran across this sound bar.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: none
