Great for somebody who does not want to spend a lot of money on a surround sound system.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

just doesn't make the cut....

pro: easy setup, loud enough, wireless subwoofer
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)

Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations

Had to go back to store and buy a fiber-optic cable to get sound to work on a new 51' Samsung tv. would not play through the HDMI cable, which I also had to purchase.
Other than that fiasco the sound bar rocks! Bluetooth means I can play my music fron the Iphone through it while watching tv, Def a BIG +.

good but complicated to setup

I am still working to setup this so I can have anynet, optical, power on/off and hdmi working in ideal combination that would reduce number of controls and click.
Pros: Realistic color
Cons: integration
I would recommend this to a friend!

Frustrating
on December 30, 2012
Posted by: JGreen
HDMI setup a nightmare. Tried to set up with Samsung LN46C630 LCD TV, followed HDMI setup instructions. I experienced the following issues: Soundbar kept switching off HDMI, had to chose HDMI 2 or 3 times before it would stop reverting back to "D-in". Instructions only show connection instructions for 1 external device, I have 2 devices, a samsung blue-ray player & cable box. Cable box would play initially, blue ray player didn't have audio. Finally, the sound & picture would work for about 20 minutes then the pic would disappear and a message stating that the resolution wasn't supported.
Tried different different connections, turning on then off Anytime connection.
Will be returning product.

Very Disappointed

I brought the Sound Bar (SB), because I have a Samsung TV, (46" 120 hz, mdl 6000) and a Samsung Blue-ray DVD player. I thought by buying a Samsung SB, everything would work on one remote. Sad to say that didn't happen, at least not with the 6000 series TV. After two weeks of looking on-line, being at the Samsung site, trying digital cable, HDMI Ethernet cables, best I could get is the SB turning on when I turn the TV on, and that's it. It does not turn off unless I use the SB remote, or 20 minutes have lapse. I have to use the SB remote to raise or lower sound. Also, the SB does NOT have an equalizer build in it, other then accepting the factory pre-set sound (Very deep tone). You have to select one of the effect sounds, i.e. Music, News, Drama, Sports, etc. So you have to pick something that sounds best to you, but you can not change anything to a sound that you prefer. The TV does have an equalizer, but it does not work through the SB, that would've worked to boost the okay TV sound to something better.
All in all, I would've passed if I knew all this before hand.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
