Not like good speakers

The sound bar is adequate but, the base cabinet really isn't very good. I had Cambridge speakers with base cabinet and I miss the quality of both. I just can't get the depth of the base cabinet to enhance the sound bar...and I just can't get the sound bar coming out of the HDMI output...comes out of the TV only. BeFore I condem this...I will contact support...I know my stuff but, I could be missing something. It is better than just the TV speakers though...
Pros: don't need receiver to drive them, size and location
Cons: Did not meet expectations
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great sound

The sound is very clear and enjoyable. The interface with the Samsung television is very functional and makes it easy to use as the sound bar is controlled with the television remote rather than having to use the sound bar remote by itself. The sound bar is small so it doesn't take up a lot of room. Easy to set up, use and enjoy!
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight

Great bang for the buck!

So far I'm very pleased with this model. It's small, sleek, and doesn't require a lot of space. For the most part, I'm pleased with sound quality, but I do wish I could get a little more volume, or a deeper bass punch from the sub-woofer. I can only get the sub-woofer up to"+ 6" on the volume level. But it could be the placement of it as well. I don't really have an ideal location for it in my floor plan to cover the whole room. The sound bar has a nice sound and some pretty good choices for selecting different listening options. But I can always upgrade later and move this to the master bedroom.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: need more bass.

Purchased this soundbar during black friday and I am very happy with its performance. Although a little tricky setting up...bluetooth vs hdmi...it worked! Excellent sound for sports and music. Listening to music from my Galaxy 5 or through You Tube on my smart tv it compares with any stereo.
Pros: Inexpensive, Bright display, great sound

This Product is middle of the run

I received this speaker as a birthday gift and was very pleased initially, then I got it plugged into my tv and was still happy with how loud it could get and it has all the connections. But for some reason it does not work with NetFlix's 5.1 surround sound setting nor does it work on my Xbox one in certain games audio. SO if your a gamer this might not be the speaker for you!
Cons: Did not meet expectations
