Sound quality is better than tv speakers but not equal to 5.1 surround sound as some have suggested. Appearance of the uncovered speakers is subject to personal taste but my wife made me put it behind the tv so she couldn't see it. It works with Samsung TV Anynet feature but getting it to turn on and off with the tv power is not so easy. If you hook it up with the digital tv output it will go off with the tv power off but not turn on with the tv power on. To get it to turn on with the tv power you have to hook it up with the HDMI pass throught which is how I hooked up my Samsung bluray to take advantage of the Anynet feature. As for value I've seen highly rated 5.1 systems for similar prices. Good thing about this system is it gets rid of having to run a lot of wires and place a lot of speakers.
Pros: better sound than tv speakers
Cons: not great sound compared to 5.1
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Mr. Good Bar

The sound is awesome and the design make it not only convenient, but elegant and practical. I haven't mounted the bar yet, but will give it a shot this weekend. I love the fact that the subwoofer is wireless and can be place anywhere! All in all, a product that has performed well above my expectations.
Pros: Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Remote Issues
on February 19, 2013

I had the HW-C450 AudioBar and it broke so I replaced it with this one. The remote worked great with the last AudioBar. With this one, it's a HUGE headache. Be warned! It didn't work with the remote provided by my cable provider. Support didn't help me and AT&T didn't have the code. My only option is to get used to two remotes or spend more money on a different remote. I'm not satisfied with this.
Pros: nice sound
Cons: Did not meet expectations, remote issues

I looked for about 3 months for a great sound bar. This sound bar is more than I expected. The sound is rich and full. It will blow you away. I would recommend this unit to everyone who reads this. The SW is rich and clean. so go ahead and buy this unit, you won't be disappointed.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good middle of the road product.

I already had a surround system and didn't want another gadget cluttering up the entertainment shelf but the speakers in the Samsung LED TV that I have start buzzing at low frequencies and I don't want to run the TV through the surround system all of the time.
I disabled the internal speakers from the settings menu on the TV and connected it to the optical in on the sound bar.
So far Anynet works well enough between the Sound bar, TV and PS3. The TV remote does not turn on the sound bar but the sound bar remote works adequately with both.
The sound is pretty good and the subwoofer handles the low frequencies well. The sound presets handle pretty much all of my listening needs but some end user adjustment flexibility would be nice.
It's a little spendy for what it is but it sounds better than the TV speakers and I like the Anynet compatibility.
Pros: Lightweight, wireless subwoofer is included, anynet compatability
Cons: not entirely supported by samsung tv
I would recommend this to a friend!
