Blows Vizio out of the water.
By J. Webber on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2025
I grabbed this on sale at 250 hoping it would be better than my previous soundbars. I had an Insiginia that was too tinny, and old, so it made sense... and I have been rocking 2 Vizio M Series bars, 2 different models, on 2 different eARC Dolby Atmos setups. When I upgraded to an OLED recently I noticed that both of the Vizio Soundbars had a terrible issue of cutting out low bass frequencies when at low volumes and it started to drive me absolutely nuts. There is nothing physically or functionally wrong with either of the Vizio bars, it's just how they are - and that's a huge problem. They were also both 2.1 speakers.Now this Samsung blows every soundbar I've heard out of the water. Got it out of the box today, setup was easy enough, remote functions well and the instructions made it easy to figure out... this thing has the perfect thumping bass I was looking for. Not quiet, you can feel it in your chest a bit, but it isn't blowing the room apart or muddying the other sounds and tones. The extra speakers compared to what I had are surely helping, but it also has great quality for my games, PS5, Switch, All of my retro systems running through a Retrotink 4K, from NES to PS3 era... it all sounds great and works well with this bar. And no more annoying poppy crackling, in and out low frequency bass at low volumes - and trust me I checked with my ear right on the thing at the lowest possible volumes. It sounds great!The best tip I can give, be sure to find the best "base" setting you like first, for me it was Game mode, then adjust your bass and sub levels with the remote, then treble, and THEN, do your channel level. I'd suggest focusing on the center first then boost or lower your side speakers.It sounds great. I'm very happy. Paired right away no issues at all with the LG B4 OLED 48".If you're like me and already have a bunch of stuff plugged up and want an all in one soundbar with no separate subwoofer or speakers for a bedroom-sized setup, look no further. You've found one of the best, especially for the price. Even came with the mounting bits - but you WILL need to provide 2 of your own screws and possibly drywall anchors to put the mount hinges up, those are not included!

If you are trying to replace a home theater system with this, don't.
By T. J. Brodeur on Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2022
We just upgraded to a Smart TV (Samsung Frame) and decided we should probably go the route of the soundbar since that seems to be the design pattern for most of these and we wanted a nice seamless experience (e.g. single remote and coordinated TV/soundbar sound). After readings, some reviews we selected this due to the integration and comments about clear dialog and whatnot.Anyway, upon receiving I set it up in just a couple of minutes and integration with the TV was absolutely perfect. Everything seemed to behave exactly as I hoped.The problem was the sound quality. We currently have home theater system with a mid-range Onkyo AV receiver and some lower level old Kenwood surround speakers (including a sub). Since we don't have a high-end system, I was hoping the soundbar would at least be in the ballpark of the theater system, but it wasn't even close. I knew I'd probably need to add a subwoofer to the soundbar, but wanted the other sound to be on par. I will say the dialog was a bit clearer than our current system, but that was about the only plus. The soundbar sounded very boxy and thin by comparison (even after trying to tweak the EQ in advanced settings) and it had nowhere near the immersive feeling of our home theater set-up. I ultimately decided I couldn't live with such a downgrade in sound, so returned it. I may go with a much higher end soundbar system at some point, but for now I'll just stick with the current system and deal with the lack of integration.Let me clarify that the sound quality isn't bad per se, it just isn't even close to the sound we are getting with a modest home theater system. If you only have a TV and need a little more sound, I think this is a great solution. It actually has impressive bass response for lacking a real sub and the sound has some spacial feel. Again, the dialog is really clear with this. However, if you are someone who currently has a home theater system and want to move to this, you will be faced with a serious downgrade and be disappointed.
