Love how this sound bar looks by far why i purchased it. I got a really good deal on it now that i see the price on here. Has great features like the bluetooth connection and love the wireless subwoofer, awesome sound for a 2.1 setup great for just the bedroom when you want a little more from your tv. One thing i found ppl not liking is trying to find a way to make it come on with one remote, any-net turns it off but not on and the optical connection turns it on but not off, i just go to the any-net settings on the tv and has a receiver on option
Pros: wireless subwoofer, bluetooth connection, good looks
I received this product as a gift only to find out its not compatible with my other than Samsung devices. It doesn't work properly so I have to use two remotes to operate my tv and sound bar when I turn it off and turn it on. I tried troubleshooting it for about a week now. Not only that but I found out I can't return it either because its been just over a month now and I threw away the packaging.
I use the AudioBar for as my computer speakers, my television speakers, and for listening to the music on my phone with bluetooth. Great sound and there are many different sound modes to choose from. I would recommend this system to anyone looking for an easy way to get great sound from many sources.
con: didn't sync with Samsung TV as expected via HDMI "anynet", Sound would get unexpectedly louder and softer, "smart volume" feature was worthless, "auto power" option was worthless...only turns set on, not off, Wireless Subwoofer would unexpectedly cut out (as if it was loosing signal)
Sound is just a little better than the Samsung TV itself. It is not as good as the 20 year old stereo I have been using. Set up instructions are poor. Anynet + is a disappointment. I can use the TV remote to turn off the sound bar and to adjust volume, but it won't turn the sound bar on. When I contacted Samsung via their chat line, they said this is the way it is supposed to work. End result is that you still have to use both the sound bar remote and the TV remote. Why develop a system that does half a job?
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, anynet + capable tv remote will not turn it on
