Seems I am the first to review Samsungs latest soundbar. I got this when I returned the vizio 4551 5.1 setup because I was having issues with the subwoofer cutting in and out. Granted I'm not sure if that was the fault of the system or that I live in an apartment with highly congested wireless signals all over the place. A problem I think all wireless subwoofers are going to have until they get off open band to a reserved licensed frequency that will ensure less interference. Anyway I went back wanting to find a sound bar with a wired subwoofer or at least a wired option but they're aren't any. Then I came across this beauty, which wasn't there the day before when I bought the first sound bar so must be meant to be, stating the subwoofer was built in, no wireless needed! (though have the option to add the wireless surround and nay even a dedicated subwoofer) I figured what the heck. I got it home and it does NOT disappoint. The sound is INCREDIBLE with the speakers being able to maintain clear sound and a nice rich bass with just enough FEEL to connect you with what is happening in the movie. My favorite part is it does this at low volume levels superbly (and mid levels too) where my previous systems the sub would come in and out at low level becoming a distraction. Now at higher levels the subwoofer shows its limits but still clear sound, but for someone like me who lives in an apartment, blasting the bass isn't really an option. But make no mistake this provides room filling clear rich beautiful and when needed deep tones and its all in one single bar. No wires, no pairing, simple. The only issue I had as a note to save others time is that it didn't come with an hdmi cable just optical so I bought one, a nice GE 24k gold plated 4k passthru certified HDMI cable to use with ARC. I got it setup and sounded amazing but the volume and power wouldn't work well with my TCL Roku TV remote and would disconnect and not reconnect after I turned one or other off. I played forever and was about to settle for two remotes and optical when I decided just on a hunch to try a random cable I got with my steam link...and bam it works perfectly now, both volume and powering on and off with tv so thought I would share try another cable first before fiddling too much with your tv /bar settings. All in all an amazing sound bar that thus far I couldn't be happier with. Its a great price for a phenomenal sound bar with the option to expand it with surround or extra sub in the future but frankly I really don't think it needs it. If you live in an apartment/limited space or an area with high wireless congestion this is definitely the bar for you. If not it probably still is. Should my experience change as time goes on I'll be sure to update my review but so far this is definitely a 5 for Samsung.

I would recommend this to a friend!
