Samsung HW-T450 2.1ch Soundbar with Dolby Audio (2020)

I've listened to soundbar demos in stores for YEARS but this is my first to own. I'm no audio expert, though it seemed like the upgraded version of one of the best selling soundbars on Amazon. Overall, it sounds really great to me. Dialogue, movie sound effects, YouTube videos, and every genre of music I listen to (which is almost every genre). Sound isn't mind-blowing, but you have to pay wayyyyy more for mind-blowing. The design of it fits well with my apartment. Love that the subwoofer connects with Bluetooth so I don't have a wire running through my living room. Some people put the subwoofer behind their couch, but I read it should ideally be in front of you, too, so that's what I did. Remote looks sleek, though falls off things a little too easily because it's curved. Volume needle-thingy is pretty cool because you don't accidentally turn it down when you wanted to turn it up and vice versa in the dark, you can feel that the remote is in your hand correct and you just press the needle thingy forward/up. Also, note the separate volume needle thingy specifically for the subwoofer! I didn't see it for the first few days! You can turn the subwoofer down or up quite a bit. Turned down all the way, it sounds very tinny and empty (I think not because the soundbar sounds horrible without it, but because the soundbar is purposely leaving those frequencies to the soundbar because it's better equipped to handle it). Turned up all the way, the bass is too overpowering. I have the subwoofer turned up to +3, which seems to fit everything nicely (I'm a big fan of my Sony M3 headphones, which are a little on the bass heavy side, too) Love that I can easily connect my phone to the soundbar and play music - sounds much better than my conveniently portable UE Megaboom. It doesn't autoconnect to my phone when I turn it on like my portable speak, though that would probably be annoying anyway since it's more often used for TV. I use this soundbar for listening to music streamed through my phone while working from home, washing dishes, and cooking. I use it for streaming on my Chromecast with Google TV. And I use it for my 4k DVD player. I'm highly satisfied with it, and recommend people to not wait as long as I did to get a high quality soundbar! I hope it lasts me for years, it seems like it will.
