Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Great sound and Minimal Issues

Tammy 11/26/2020

for a small sound bar, this one packs a punch! i don't even feel the need for any more speakers in the room. however, i sometimes have issues with the connectivity of it. i have it setup with bluetooth, and sometimes it is on and the tv does not connect as it should. also, i bought it with a samsung qled tv, and it barely fits underneath the tv. overall, i am happy with the purchase!

Frustrating Design

kssandefur 7/4/2020

setup is the samsung hw-ms550 connected between a mid-level sony hts and a samsung hdtv via hdmi. everytime we turn the soundbar it auto-switches off the hdmi to another input. every single time. it does not matter what else is turned on, which input/output ports, or what setting are set. there is no way i can find to kill the auto-select input input option that will keep it on hdmi when bar is cycled off standby. the sound is really good (not great) once everything is on. some tv programs or dvds have a weak center channel feed that the soundbar doesnt help at all or seens to make worse.

Nice design! Ok sound!

mediafreak 9/26/2019

I bought this about 2 months ago from Samsung. I bought it because I just couldn't stand the sound of my tv speakers anymore and I wanted something a little more clear base and clarity in dialogue. Well I did get the base that I was looking for, but the dialogue clarity, Not so much. At times is very hard to hear the dialogues/speech so you kind of have to crank up the volume than it gets super loud for sound effects like explosions and dramatic music. I was going to return it but I just didn't want to go through the hassle of the return process so I'm just going to buy from a different brand in the future. Only good thing I can say about this sound bar is the build quality. It look really sleek when mounted on the wall. And you can add wifi surround speakers for a discrete surround sound experience.

So far working fine

June9999 4/26/2019

I mainly use it to listen to music via internet on Samsung tv set. Plugged into the set and it sounds very good. Still reviewing options and learning how to use it, but it was easy to set up. Much improved sound quality.

Seriously Sound

Samsung Junkie 2/7/2019

Bought this soundbar to go with my updated bedroom TV. My Q6FN OLED and this soundbar are a perfect blend, excellent sound without being overbearing in a bedroom. Rich sound and no lag, easy pairing with BT or WIFI. I used HDMI ARC which is my preferred hook up.

Incredible Sound Quality!

RenzoBenzo 1/21/2019

I got this with the rear speaker kit and the sound is incredible! Sounds just like I'm in the movies. It does a really good job at directing sound. ( i.e Plane flying over head, explosions from behind) When playing through Bluetooth or WIFI music sounds great, you can hear every instrument and clear vocals!

Just ok

Yelhsa 12/5/2018

I have only had this soundbar for one day, and already it is having issues. First, the sound goes out periodically. A few seconds here, a few there...very annoying. Second, the sound isn't even. One second it is a good volume, then it gets so loud at times it is ridiculous. Next it is different depending on what you are doing. The sound is good when I am watching netflix or regular TV channels, but when I go to charter on demand for movies the sound is barely audible. Not happy so far.

Crisp, beautiful, clear sound with BOOM.

grldatpiksupstyx 11/23/2018

I just scored one of these at a great price on Black Friday. I was tired of the small bricks and mediocre sound (I'm a big music/concert go-er, love bright, classic rock, metal, strong bass). I debated and almost bought the speaker setup, but this soundbar alone fills up a whole room and you can hear all the secondary and third sounds stunningly when switching your bar's sound to movie mode. The bass is enough and very balanced with great boom, but don't expect a crazy bass rattling the walls, because you'd have to get a woofer to make your neighbors pay you a visit and turn it down. I barely have it at volume 25, and watching Narcos off Netflix during a shootout scene is already intense; as if I was in the middle of the shoot out, in person. The sound is amplified beautifully balanced. Easy to use, pair with bluetooth, connect with the Samsung Audio Remote for Android, and I've not just paired it to my TV, but my Laptop MSI 4K Gaming Computer, and the sound is utopia.

Bob M 10/10/2018

I bought the sound bar a month ago for a spare room after buying the 650 model in the summer. The sound is great and we love the built in sub-woofer. The only issue we've had is that it shuts off periodically. Good sound
