"We have a Samsung plasma TV where the sound sometimes gets lost in the room. This simple, yet powerful sound bar is a great addition to "fill out" the room. It's easy to set up and even has Bluetooth for streaming from a laptop, phone or MP3 player. I would definitely recommend this to others!"

Pros: Inexpensive, power

"It was very easy to install this product once I learned how to read the set up instructions..LOL! The Samsung chat line is a fantastic service if you have any questions. The output for this system is wonderful for our living room and most definitely surpasses the limited 20 watt speakers on the TV. We have an entertainment center nook and was able to place the subwoofer within for optimal sound. The subwoofer may appear to produce limited bass, however, it will yield enough sound to make a noticeable difference. I have it set at +1 and it works well! I talked my co-worker into buying one too and she loves it! She prefers the +3 subwoofer setting."

Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight

Cons: none

It works well with My Sony products, my Xbox, and my girlfriend loves playing Pandora through it with her Tablet. Over all I am very happy with this."

Slick design, good sound - but stuck using two remotes

PostedJuly 17, 2012

"I have a Samsung led tv with typically meh sound and was impressed with the reviews of this soundbar and its price. My experience was okay but less than perfect.

The sound quality is very good--quite adequate for our small family room. I am sensitive to sound but not an audiophile. I turned bass up to 3+ (out of 5). Big improvement over the TV. The Bluetooth feature is also very nice; you can play music from your phone.

This was the annoying part: When connecting the TV with HDMI/ARC out to this bar, I could turn volume up and down with the Comcast (and TV) remotes with Anynet+ activated on the TV (Important note: there is also an Anynet+ button on the soundbar's remote, set to ON by default). The soundbar also turns off when I turn the TV off, but, alas, not ON with the TV, so I have to have both remotes in hand to get started, which I was hoping to avoid.

When connecting the TV with optical audio, disabling Anynet+ and enabling Auto Power (both through the soundbar), and selecting External Speakers (through the TV setup), I was able to turn the bar ON with the TV (using the Comcast or TV remotes), but not able to control the volume or turn off the system with the TV remote. So effectively, I had to use two remotes again. I abandoned this setup, because it seemed more cumbersome than the HDMI/ARC connection.

It doesn't make any sense to me that this thing does not turn ON thruough the HDMI setup; I found similar complaints elsewhere, and apparently there is no AUX Comcast remote codes that can be programmed with this soundbar either.

In short, I have a better situation, but I still have to carry two remotes. Not sure if another remote like the Harmony could solve this problem."

"Bluetooth works great. Could sound better but it actually sounds great for the $. I love the "smart volume" function. The only negative aspect is that there are functions that only the remote can perform but thats common in design now a days."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Lightweight

Cons: Not high def

PostedOctober 3, 2012

"The Samsung Audio Bar is an enormous improvement in sound quality over the tinny sound coming from even the largest Samsung LED TV sets. My current battle regards the fact that when you turn off the TV/cable/sound bar with the one-touch system power button, the sound bar does NOT turn back on when you power up AND, when you turn the sound bar on, you must push more buttons to get the TV to recognize the input and then permit the sound to come on and still one must push a button to return to the sound quality one wants. this should all be done with one button push!"

Pros: high quality sound

Cons: technical difficulty

"Hooked up to a Samsung 40 inch flatscreen. Turning on the set with remote does not turn on the sound bar, but turning off the set will turn off the soundbar. Once turned on, the soundbar does not stick to HDMI. I need to use the soundbar remote to turn it on and set the mode to HDMI, usually have to do it twice for some reason. Other than that, it's fine."

Pros: Bright display, Realistic color

"Being a Samsung it is not quite what I was looking for.
I do not regret getting it, it is better than the tv speakers. I do have the bass disconnected most of the time and only use it during play back on my Bluray. I do plan on replacing it at some point in time but for my safety just not now. It goes great with my Samsung TV and the wife really likes the Sound. I agree with the others, Manual should/could be better. Had to go to AVS forum for the correct hook up."

Okay sound

I would recommend this to a friend!

PostedAugust 8, 2012

"I bought this sound bar to go along with my new Samsung 60" LED TV, assuming that the connectivity and system interaction would be simple. I was wrong. The subwoofer did not link automatically and the instructions to link it to the sound bar were inadequate. Also, I hooked up everything, including the TV via HDMI cables. I also connected the digital cable between the TV and sound bar, in accordance with the instructions, so the sound bar would turn off when the TV turns off. The manual doesn't state that this "Auto On/Off feature doesn't work if the HDMI cable is also connected."

Pros: better sound than tv speakers

Cons: poorly written manual, sound quality with movies is so-so, can't remove the stupid label on the front

Great Sound - Could Use Better Instructions

PostedApril 30, 2012

I would recommend this to a friend!

PostedApril 30, 2012

"Just started using our new sound bar and the sound is amazing. Now, watching the 3D movies takes watching TV to a whole new level. My only to complaints are that the sub-woofer could use a slightly longer electrical cord and the set-up instructions could be better detailed. I have both a blu-ray player and game console hooked up to my TV and the instructions really don't tell you the best way to connect everything so that it all can be heard through the sound bar. This made teh set up take much longer than it should have while I figured out how to do it and then running to the store to get the necesary cables to do so."

"I gave this 4 stars as it only has one HDMI input. works great with my new samsung TV and DVD player. The quick setup pamplet will get you going but will not explain all the features. Read the main instructions to learn all the features.This thing will pair with a blue tooth device and that is how the salesman sold me on this bar as he was easily able to pair it with his Iphone and play music off Pandora. I think the bar was a little expensive for the actual sound it puts out. Maybe I need to re-read the instructions :-).."

In the fence on this one!

PostedJuly 6, 2012

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedJuly 6, 2012

"Purchased this sound bar to complement my Sony Bravia 55 LED. @ the time of purchase it was the only soundbar I could afford (all the rest of the money went toward the tv!). Selected the Samsung Sound Bar due to price, since @ the store they did not have it available for display or sampling. The bar itself its easy to connect, the wireless woofer is fantastic (no wires!), and the options of the bar are top notch. Nonetheless, the fidelity of sound is just not there. The sound its definately better than my TV speakers, but for the price the fidelity of sound is muffled, and the wireless woofer's point of xover is too high. No real lows for the subs, it only serves as a midrange speaker. Im on the fence on this one. Having such an expensive Television with mediocre sound is just not my cup of tea. I will probably repackage and return."

Pros: wireless woofer, options for connections

Cons: Poor quality, Not high def, Did not meet expectations

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

GOOD SOUNDBAR, BUT BIG INSTALL & OPERATION SHORTCOMINGS

PostedJune 3, 2012

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedJune 3, 2012

"This soundbar sounds very good, but controling it and wall mounting are big problems. If you use only the optical cable, you can only control the soundbar from its own remote. If you use the HDMI hookup, Samsung says you can control volume for all inputs with the Samsung TV remote, but you cannot. If you hookup both the HDMI AND OPTICABLE INPUTS, you can control the HDMI input and when you switch to anoter input, it switches to the optical cable, but now allows you to control the optical input too. If you switch back to the HDMI input, you must use the soundbar remote to switch back. If your cable remote has been programmed for the TV, then it also works, so you have like an 90% solution, BUT IF YOU WANT TO WALL MOUNT, THE BRACKET BLOCKS THE HDMI CABLES, SO YOU CANNOT MOUNT IT THIS WAY AND SAMSUNG KNOWS IT! ONE WORK AROUND WOULD BE TO USE TWO SHELF BRACKETS AND JUST SIT THE SOUNDBAR ON THE BRACKETS. NOW THE HDMI CABLES WOULD NOT BE BLOCKED. IN ANY CASE YOU WILL NEED TO USE BOTH HDMI AND OPTICAL CABLE TO GAIN CONTROL VIA TV OR CABLE (TIME WARNER IN MY CASE) REMOTE."

Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight

Cons: wall mount bracket will not work with hdmi cables, cannot gain full vol. control with samsung remote

HW-E450C audio bar- buyer beware

PostedApril 25, 2012

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

PostedApril 25, 2012

"The audio bar sound is ok, but not great. There are two issues that buyers should be aware of. First, there is no possibility of connecting HDMI cables in and out and also mount the unit on a wall. HDMI cables are too stiff to fit in space available after using the mounting bracket provided. This is unfortunate because the Samsung Blu-Ray player manual recommends the use of HDMI cables from the player to the sound bar and from the sound bar to the TV. Not possible. Only the audio cable supplied works.

Second, the manual and promotional material say that MP3 players can be connected directly to the sound bar USB port and MP3 files played. This might be the case for some players, but it will not work with my iPod Touch even when the files on the player are saved as MP3 files. I guess there are the well known proprietary connection issues.

I can get a cheap MP3 player anywhere. However the fact that I could not use the HDMI cable connections is very annoying. If you want to use HDMI cables do not plan on mounting the unit on a wall."

Pros: Lightweight

Cons: Did not meet expectations, can't play mp3 from ipod, cannot use hdmi cables for wall mount

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

"The wall mount is frustrating. If its wall mounted, its difficult to use the hdmi inputs because of their proximity to the bracket.
Worked great for two weeks and then the sub stopped working. I took it back to the store and got another and that sub didn't work out of the box. It would never link to the soundbar despite numerous attempts.
The features are fine, bluetooth worked good with my phone. Not much else to say. I like the size and look of it, the sound was good to, but I'm having trouble finding one that works consistently. Off to the store for number 3."

PostedJune 29, 2012

"The sound from this unit is quite good and the installation is easy. The problem is that it cannot be controlled by my Dish remote and the supplied remote cannot control the Dish receiver. This means that when I change channels with my Dish remote I must scramble to adjust the volume with the sound bar remote. This has not been a problem with the previous system and I feel it is a major inconvience. I have tried all the codes provided by Dish network and nothing works. I have a Samsung TV and that remote also has no control over the sound bar so I am stuck with having to use 2 remotes to accomplish the most basic functions (volume and on/off). I cannot recommend this unit."

"I purchased the Samsung TV, Samsung Sound Bar and Samsung Blu-Ray, because I wrongly assumed they would work together seemlessly. I have since purchased two universal remotes that I have had to return, because they also will not work on their own. Samsung admits that you can not control the sound bar with the TV remote. What a pain!"
