After a lot of reviewing I went for this Soundbar which has worked great for months. Great for Dolby atmos sound and goes straight into TV and also PS5 at a great price. It weirdly came with a bent power supply so it could sit flush to the tabletop however only for the European socket and not for the UK version (my TV had the same power supply and was the same curved end but with the UK plug so I just switched but it’s a minor design floor)
I bought this to use with a Xbox Series X. The sound is really great though the mid frequencies are mostly overwhelmed by the bass from the sub-woofer, Dolby Atmos is somewhat average otherwise I really like the levels of sound and output I can get from this soundbar. Be sure to enable pass-through on your TV and/or Console if you experience any lag especially with the Dobly Digital format.
Great sound quality for the price point. Easy set-up. Highly recommend
Changed a samsung bluray surround sound system, for this soundbar, soundbar much bette
easy setup, sleek and stylish, incredible room-rattling sound! soundbar itself is quite bulky and bluetooth was quite compressed and crackly at first but with use the sound has improved. love this product.
After a few technical hitches all good now. My daughter was able to fix software issues. Samsung did call back, by the time they did we had the hitches fixed.
Would not work at first- had to ring Samsung support who reset the port on our Samsung TV remotely and followed instructions to reset after which it worked but later wouldn’t come on again managed to get back on using’ reset sound’ on TV menu so ot straight forward but excellent sound when it works
Love the sound.Having the tech know-how of a 4 year-old.I phoned samsung uk support.What a joke!.The two I spoke to,didn’t know this soundbar plays dolby atmos!.Some “experts” that.
I bought the
Samsung 55 Inch QN95B Neo QLED 4K Smart TV (2022), which I love, but the sound from just the TV or just the old soundbar I had was just not quite right. I liked the sound via the TV, but if speech had either music or sounds at same time, the sounds drowned out the voices – not ideal, so I ordered this soundbar based on the fact they say you can have sound simultaneously via the soundbar *and* the TV speaker (plus it then uses a central speaker just for speech). I have to say, with both, the sound is magnificent! Both TV and soundbar have to be connected via wiFi and for a while I could not get both connected. TV kept saying they were connected on different bands (2.4 and 5ghz). Took a while to figure it out and in the end I think the TV actually sorted it for me. I turned wifi off for the TV then turned it on again and set it to the 5 gHz and now when I use vol controls it shows as both TV + soundbar. Samsung I think, call this ‘Symphony’ sound and both the TV and the soundbar have to support it. If your TV does support it and can connect with wiFi, I highly recommend this soundbar.
The sound bar goes under the tv and the box which is quite large is standing on the floor by the side although it would plug in anywhere. We are pleased with the purchase which was cheaper than anywhere else as far as we could see, and the sound is a lot clearer than before
Found this 150 cheaper then retail which made it same price as lower range and previous Q800A model. This has 5.1 compared to the rest I was looking at at this price point being 3.1 and makes huge difference, the other benefit is being able to buy the 2 rear speakers to make it 7.1. Can’t say the Atmos really does much compared to normal 5.1 but it sounds so good, it’s great for majority of viewing. The Subwoofer is huge and only negative being the speaker is on the right hand side, meaning you can’t put it against anything, which depending on room layout could be an issue to get the most out of it. It’s amazing for music and once you get the settings correct on the sound bar and HDMI outputs from the TV, everything sounds amazing, not just better then TV speakers like cheap sound bars. The SmartThings app is pretty poor and after a while of trying to sync it, you need the bar to be on WiFi, which is doesn’t tel you when it auto detects it, once it’s running you have a few more options, but isn’t essential. My main gripe is the wall brackets that can only go on specific points on the soundbar, which if trying to fit into joists is an issue trying to get it central, it comes with a drilling template which is fine for brick walls
Having bought my first 4K TV i knew as soon as i listened to it that it’s
internal sound was way to weak to watch action movies.
After a bit of research i picked this one, and in terms of sound quality
it is a massive improvement over the TV speakers.
Living in a rented terraced property limits the amount of volume and bass
that i can use, the night mode with the bass turned down is the best option
for me.
Out of the box the bass is way too overpowering and tends to dominate
the sound in all modes.
One irritating point is that the included mains leads with UK plugs are useless
they are the straight type, and the socket on the soundbar requires a right angled one.
Yet the included EU leads are of the right type, so make sure you buy a right angled one
of a suitable length or you will be waiting to use it.
If you want anything close to the full Atmos experience the optional rear speakers are a
must, but they are expensive and not easy to find instock.
Highly recommended , but i feel that the rear speakers should have been at least offered
as a bundle and not an expensive option.
I have had a few soundbars in the past and this one is the best of them all. Looks smart and feels quality. I found it easy to set up using both Bluetooth, Optical and HDMI connections – would quite happily recomend for anyone looking for a decent sound from the TV.
Fantastic, speedy delivery via Amazon so close to Christmas. Thank you to those involved for making it happe
Great product, highly recommended. Great sound quality, with no distortion.
Easy to set up and sound quality is excellent, the Samsung smartthings app is in my opinion a necessity. It is slight bass heavy but this suits TV audio well. All in all an excellent product.
An amazing sounding surround sound system. Movies are awesome with the Samsung q800b really glad I upgraded to this matched it to a Samsung 43inch Qled TV. Easy to set up and managed using Samsung app even firmwares upgrades. Fills the room perfectly with amazing sound . Well done Samantha 5stars.
Great service from the seller, good price for the product which was retailing for 800+ in the high street. Sounds awesome, clear dialog, crisp sound and deep base. Well made and the option to add rear speakers if you want at a later date, couldn’t find a better soundbar for the price this was being sold for 579, better value than a Sonos system as this includes a sub in addition to superb sound.
