Samsung HW-B550/ZA 2.1ch Soundbar with Dolby Audio, DTS Virtual:X, Subwoofer Included, Adaptive Sound Lite, Bluetooth Multi-Device Connection, Wireless Surround Compatible, 2022, Black

Game changer!! Great sound adds a whole new dimension while watching movies. Super easy to connect via Bluetooth.

Purchased a new LED TV after 12 years -unfortunately the existing soundbar I added as not compatible with the new TV so I needed a new one. My criteria was simple: not terribly expensive, Optical connection required AND same brand (compatible components working together is a big requirement me). Search through a bunch of I found the B550 fits all my categories. the install and connecting it to the TV was easier than expected - the optical connection was immediately recognized. I also using Bluetooth for headphones when others are sleeping. Overall the sound quality was worth the price - it integrates with my TV remote (yeah a new Samsung QLED - that is a given it should work)... great experience.

This Samsung sound bar with sub woofer is about $100 less than the exact same model I found in Best Buy. It's easy to hook up and it sounds great with the adjustable sub woofer output. It didn't work with the HDMI cable I was using so I called Samsung customer service and they helped me discover that the cable was defective, but a simple set up change set the connection to wireless blue tooth and it works great.

Worth the price good sound and easy hook up

Vizio M Series had really stale and static sound in comparison. The remote was also slow to respond and had too many inputs, each time you switched it voiced the the input type outloud which got annoying really fast. It voiced the input types at varying volumes as well. Had to play around with the settings to get it how I wanted but I found what worked best for me. It ended up NOT being the DTS:X profile, but it's nice that the option is there. That said my gripes with the DTS:X/Virtual Surround are with the profile/software itself which is the same on any sound device, not a gripe with the soundbar itself. It's still a nice profile but I preferred the others. Also you can use the voice boost with DTS:X so just one other reason not to use it. The subwoofer gives a good enough umph without being too much which is good because I didn't want to get carried away with bass anyway. It does have enough bass and treble. Overall good sound for a sub 200 soundbar, if you get it with the subwoofer.

I bought and returned 2 other sound bars before this one. I like well balanced sound and especially understandable voice when watching movies and shows. This system has good bass. The display is kind of small and hard to read since it has to scroll the text slowly, but that’s a minor inconvenience. I like the feel, simplicity, and features of the remote.

Just hooked it up and i have to say i am very pleased. I had planned to wire it directly to the tv but the bluetooth hook up was so easy and works so good there is no point to go through the extra work. Sound quality is leaps and bounds better then the internal tv speakers. It automatically connects when i turn the tv on and operates using my tv remote. Side note i do have it connected to a Samsung tv so that may be the reason for the seem less integration but i really couldn’t be happier

Worked fine for a little over a year until one day my TV kept dropping the sound bar and defaulting to the TV speakers. Well, it happened to be a problem with the sound bar losing connection with the subwoofer. Easy fix, set it back in pairing mode and they should connect, right? Nope. Firmware update, setup in isolated area, factory reset, nothing. For whatever reason the soundbar could not reconnect to the subwoofer. For the price it was acceptable when it was working but not lasting even two years is kind of pathetic. Thankfully I still have a Yamaha Yas 209 and while the sound might not be as loud, I've never had an issue with it.

The system was easy to setup and has various connection options. Sound is good and price is right. Works perfectly with my Samsung TV.

Arrived on time. Sound quality much improved over tv. Easy to set up.

Amazing

En general muy buena barra, Samsung no me falló en esta por qué compré antes de esa una LG y tuvo un fallo, es de 410 watts y si suelta un buen sonido, no el más potente pero si le subes no se queda corta, el subwoofer también es bueno y decente, desconozco de cuántos watts será pero en su modo bass suena bastante limpio sin escucharse saturado en cada golpe de graves que hay

Great product. Sound and Bass are outstanding. Massive improvement from the standard tv speakers. Defo a must have for the price. When it arrived the box was in quite bad state, so not the best start. I set it all up and only later noticed that the soundbar had a dent :/ (very hard to see, only noticable from an angle) However, the seller was quick and efficient and organised a replacement, after I returned the damaged unit. All in all I'm happy with the purchase.
