Rated 5 out of 5 by from Samsung does it again! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soundbar and sub is amazing! We placed it in our loft and the family spends more time here then ever. To start, the design is very sleek. It feels premium and isn't an eyesore. Setting up was a breeze. The sound is crisp and the bass is deep. One of my favorite things about it, connectivity with SmartThings. Once connected, it opens up the capabilities to get the full experience of this soundbar. Whether using the bass enhancement or voice amplifier, you're able to get the sound you are looking for. I also love the tap function. Simply tapping you phone that is playing music will transfer from the phone speakers to the soundbar. I didn't always register my tap but it is still an awesome feature. As mentioned earlier, it is in our loft, not necessarily a large area, but using the SpaceFit Sound function gave us the sounds we needed for this space. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this to households looking to boost their movie watching experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It was a great replacement for our bedroom [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this Samsung soundbar to upgrade a 5 speaker Samsung system we had. The sound is amazing. It sounds like we are in a movie theater as well as at our own concert. We have very expensive sound system that is in our movie room and this is definitely in the same sound quality. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a great sounding system at an affordable price. The Dolby atmos sound really does fill the room. The sound is just incredible. The gaming is also great I told my spouse I am glad our kids are adults and for the most part don’t live here. We would never see them with how good the sounds of the games are. The a symphony wTch made top gun great. I loved hearing all the words so clearly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Option for Many [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had gotten the HW-Q800D to place in a room which I did not want to add separate rear surround speakers in, my master bedroom. The room is medium sized. This soundbar blew my last one out of the water. The separation of audio channels that I can hear is quite amazing in such a small and sleek package. Distortion or muffled dialog is not an issue at all. The clarity of sound from very low volume to quite high volume is very good. Also, the bass is smooth from the subwoofer and is easily scalable to personal needs/wants. For the look, it is quite compact and works perfect with my 65" TV. I also appreciate the small front facing LED display which shows needed information. Also, not distracting as it is dim and disappears. In the past, I have had issues with various manufacturers/models of soundbars regarding the wireless subwoofer cutting in and out due to the Orbi WiFI Mesh system we use at our home. This model has had zero issues regarding this and I'm very pleased with that. I would highly recommend trying this soundbar out for most sized areas where rear surrounds are not wanted or can not be used.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product and value for cost [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had never purchased a soundbar or had one in our home and wanted to get the opportunity to put one upstairs in our loft area. The sound is incredible and we have listened to music on there as well as watched movies. I’m impressed with the quality considering the cost and would highly recommend this product. I’m excited to see the longevity of the product and test other features but as of now I’m quite happy with my purchase and would do it over again. Setup was also incredibly easy and the provided instructions were not hard to follow at all. The Q-symphony feature is my favorite in that it provides a deep and rich sound, especially when we are watching movies with the soundbar. Also the voice amplifier function is nice because as there is background noise im still able to hear audio clearly from what the soundbar is producing. Lastly the Dolby Atmos surround sound is some of the best out there, you get theater quality output for sound that captures low voices well and really amplifies the loud sounds too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Holy Sound Quality! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As someone whose never owned a Soundbar, I've been on the fence about purchasing one but everyone said it was a must! I finally gave in and can't believe I waited so long!! Looking back, I don't know how I watched a movie or my favorite tv shows without the immersive sound and superb quality of next level sound!! The Dolby Atmos sounds like I'm in the movie theatres!! Not only is the sound next level, there are so many other features that come with the Samsung HW-Q800D. The built in Alexa lets me turn down the volume on my kids' tv shows without having to hunt for the remote! The super sleek design fits in with the tv and there are no bulky wires and installation needed! I could just plug in and poof, amazing quality sound and Bluetooth capabilities!! To anyone hesitating if a soundbar is right for them, the Samsung HW-Q800D is a must for EVERYONE!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive Audio Experience with Samsung HW-Q800D [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Samsung HW-Q800D soundbar, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From its sleek design to its exceptional audio quality, this soundbar truly stands out in the market. One of the first things that struck me was the immersive sound experience it provides. With Dolby Atmos and DTS:X technologies, every sound comes to life, whether it's the subtle rustle of leaves or the thunderous roar of an explosion. The upward-firing speakers deliver sound that fills the room, creating a cinematic experience right in the comfort of my home. Setting up the HW-Q800D was a breeze. Thanks to its user-friendly interface and wireless connectivity options, I had it up and running in no time. The included subwoofer adds depth to the bass, giving movies and music a rich, full-bodied sound that you can feel. I also appreciate the versatility of this soundbar.

It has transformed my home entertainment experience, bringing movies, music, and games to life like never before.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Samsung Doesn't Disappoint! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Q800D Soundbar is mind blowing with how clear and satisfying it sounds. I have a few Samsung sound bars and I can't believe how Samsung keeps raising the bar (lol) every time. This soundbar shines with Dolby Atmos content, the immersion is surprisingly better than some home theater setups that are much more expensive. I wish there were more HDMI inputs on the soundbar and that it could support waking up when using a PC. But other than that, this soundbar has modern features that'll work in any smart home ecosystem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Home Theater [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was anxiously awaiting the arrival of this Samsung HW-Q800D soundbar because we had a need for it and once we received it is when we fell in love. This soundbar is amazing because of how well it makes it sound like you have an actual home theater setup without all the extra hardware. Upon receiving the soundbar, unpacking and setting it up was a breeze since all it required was plugging it in. Our family really liked the look of the soundbar because of how sleek and stylish it looks amongst the furniture and the TV stand. The included remote also looks really nice and easy to understand while being very functional. Now onto the main star of the show which is the sound quality. First off the great thing about this soundbar is the fact that it has so many sound modes as well support for different sound profiles and codecs. Some of the modes that I love are Adaptive sound which changes the sound as needed for different scenes in a movie for example during dialogue heavy scenes or during action scenes. My kids love the game mode pro when they play games since it makes the games feel like you are actually in it. Everyone also knows how much Dolby Atmos is a game changer when it comes to watching movies today with its ability bring sound around you with its upfiring speakers. The mode that I cant wait to try out is Q-Symphony once I get my new Samsung TV since it uses the speakers from the TV in conjunction with the soundbar which would truly fill the room with sound. All in all this is an amazing soundbar that truly makes your setup into a home theater.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Transformed [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung HW-Q800D/ZA Soundbar has truly elevated our home entertainment setup. Its immersive 3D surround sound brings movies, music, and games to life like never before. We love how the wireless subwoofer adds depth and richness to the audio, making every experience feel more cinematic. Setting it up was surprisingly easy, and its sleek design fits seamlessly into our living room. What's really impressive is the adaptive sound feature, which automatically adjusts the audio based on what we're watching or listening to. It's made our movie nights and music sessions so much more enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with this soundbar!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound bar [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Soundbar Q800D is my very first sound bar. Our living room is not big and this sound bar is perfect for its size. Set up is a breeze (according to my husband). It is Amazing, Love these speakers! Offering a rich and immersive experience, stunning mids and highs. Bass frequencies are tight and clear, not muddy. Its Dolby Atmos and DTS:X technologies deliver room-filling, dimensional sound that is incredibly lifelike. The clarity is amazing, I can only imagine how they’ll sound when my Q-Symphony Samsung TV arrived (Fatherday!). The design is sleek and modern and feel solid making it a striking addition to any entertainment setup. The sound bar is also feature rich easily connecting to our TV with an HDMI eARC and wirelessly with Amazon Alexa. Additionally, the wireless Sub make placement of the speaker a breeze-clutter free installation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hearing Is Believing [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My significant other is adamant about his electronics (toys) and I hate to say it, but it's rubbed off on me over the years. I didn't even know the difference between a general soundbar and a full surround sound experience, I thought they were all the same with minor improvements and whatnots, similar to an updated mobile phone. But, thanks to Samsung's HW-Q800D Soundbar with Dolby Atmos/DTS:X, I can confidently say, I’ve seen the light. But that’s enough of my awakening and revelation of soundbars and their capabilities, so here it goes. For starters, this unit is definitely heftier than most soundbars I’ve dealt with in the past, especially to the prior Sony soundbar we’ve been using over the years, but even with its heft, it is sleek and very adaptable to most set ups. And I’ll be honest, I was skeptical about the whole “Dolby Atoms” title on a two speaker set up since a good handful of companies are utilizing the technology, but wow was I wrong to doubt what Samsung’s been able to produce with this HW-Q800 line. At certain points, it feels like sorcery, it’s amazing to me how immersive of a feel they’re able to produce with this product with just a soundbar and a subwoofer, it really feels like there are more speakers in the room when there really aren’t. Additionally, for those individuals who want an even more immersive feel, you have the to option of adding rear speakers offered by Samsung to this unit if you choose. Before I go further into some of the stand out features of this device, I must state that having a compatible Samsung TV will definitely increase your experience with the Q-Symphony feature, but I digress. This unit supports 4K HDR passthrough as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless connectivity. You can control the unit with the provided remote control or with the use of Samsungs SmartThings app as well as your preferred voice assistants. Also, if you happen to be a gamer, you’re in luck since the HW-800D comes preinstalled with several sound modes including a Game Mode, so you’ll have a good time with that, or you can customize it to your liking depending on what you’re actually attempting to utilize it for, so everyones a winner in that regard. Other than that, I won’t bore you with additional specifications and my opinions about the Samsung HW-Q800D Soundbar with Dolby Atmos/DTS:X. Instead, what I would recommend is to take it for a test drive yourself, since hearing is believing, and for what it’s worth, I will admit, I definitely am a believer now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An unmatched sound quality [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My experience with the Samsung Q800 Soundbar has been absolutely transformative for my home audio setup. From the moment I unboxed it, the sleek design and build quality were evident, indicating that this was a premium audio device. Setting it up was a breeze, thanks to the intuitive interface and clear instructions. The sound quality is where the Q800 truly shines. The clarity of the audio it produces is astonishing, with rich lows, crisp mids, and clear highs. Whether I’m watching an action-packed movie, enjoying a live concert, or immersing myself in the latest video game, the soundbar delivers an immersive audio experience that fills the room. The Dolby Atmos support adds a whole new dimension to audio playback, making it feel like sound is coming from all around and above, providing a truly enveloping experience. One feature I found particularly impressive is the adaptive sound technology. It automatically adjusts the audio profile based on what you’re watching, ensuring the best sound quality for dialogue, music, or action scenes. This has made everything from casual TV watching to hosting movie nights more enjoyable. For someone who has never used a premium soundbar before, the Samsung Q800 is a revelation. It elevates your audio experience to a level that built-in TV speakers simply cannot match. The difference is not just noticeable; it’s a game-changer. It’s worth noting that the connectivity options are very user-friendly, supporting both HDMI and Bluetooth, which means you can easily connect various devices to it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unbelievable Sound!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound bar has crystal clear sound with amazingly deep bass from the subwoofer. The package you receive will have the soundbar, subwoofer, mounting brackets (to mount on wall if you choose), cables for a normal hookup, and remote. If you're needing the optical hookup you will need to purchase separately. The subwoofer, is amazing and most of the time we're running at -6 because it is so deep. Although, if you really want to rock you can go to +6 and that's a full on concert in your house along with shaking! Concert like experience or movie theater experience from this!! You can choose surround, standard, or adaptive sound with the sound mode button. Our preference is adaptive for a nice, clear crisp sound. By pressing the tone control button on the remote you get to adjust the tremble and bass to your preferences. With the channel level button on the remote, you can adjust the side, front, and center speakers individually on the sound bar to optimize the sound in the room. My favorite is watching music videos on tv, the sound makes me feel like I'm at the concert. It's unbelievable!! Voice enhanced feature is an option that provides a very clear sound. Night mode is a great feature that turns the bass down and is a more relaxed softer sound. Installation was super easy, subwoofer is already paired to the soundbar. Highest quality device that we've ever used and Samsung is amazing!! We listened to music and watched movies and it felt like we were a new level for sound!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Must-have sound bar [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously had an older model Samsung sound bar and the upgrade to this model has been significant. I was able to unbox and setup within 10 minutes and it includes everything you need for various mounting forms etc. While I do not have much experience setting up speakers, Samsung has made it easy for me to plug in and connect to my television without the need for a professional. For the quality and sound of this sound bar you would expect to have some hard-wiring work done but this is not the case. I have it set up in the living room where I watch TV the most alongside family and friends. The surround sound is crisp, clean and immersive. The sound bar is sleek and provides a modern aesthetic. Did I mention you could connect to the sound bar wirelessly? You are able to connect to various smart devices like Amazon Alexa or Apple AirPlay with the smart integration system. Its powerful 5.1.2 Ch. True Dolby Atmos Sound makes my living room feel like a movie theater despite it being one system with a sound bar and subwoofer. Overall I'm highly impressed with the quality of this system and it's performance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Quality Sound [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been wanting to get a soundbar for a long time now, so we were really excited to finally get the Samsung HW-Q800 with the Dolby Atmos. It was super easy and quick to setup and the sound difference and quality is immediately noticeable. We love the bluetooth feature to connect to the TV so we don't have to use the cord that plugs directly into the TV. However, I will say it doesn't always stay connected, so you have to choose the setting to get back to the bluetooth connection. The base sound is really great, without being too overwhelming. I notice the volume number is way lower than what we used to have it on because the sounds is so much louder. We plan to add a few additional smaller speakers that we can put outside that connects, too!

Its immersive 3D surround sound technology draws me into every movie, song, and game with astonishing clarity and depth. The wireless subwoofer delivers powerful bass that fills the room, making every sound feel richer and more lifelike. Setting it up was a breeze, and its sleek design effortlessly blends into my living space. Plus, the adaptive sound feature ensures that every piece of content sounds its best. Whether I'm watching movies or listening to music, this soundbar never fails to impress. It's truly a game-changer for my home theater setup.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Sound and Features [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to get this soundbar because I know Samsung consistently delivers quality products that are top of the line and this Samsung HW-Q800D soundbar delivers! The first thought that came to my mind when I received and opened the soundbar was Wow this is one beautiful soundbar, it's so elegant and sleek looking that it looks good in any space without effort. Unpacking and setting up the sound bar was effortless and it had a nice premium feel to it without being too heavy. It comes with 2 power cords for both the soundbar as well as the subwoofer, a high speed HDMI cable, and the One remote by Samsung which is pretty sleek, but unfortunately does not have the solar panel recharging ability, which to me is not a big deal. Setting up the soundbar just requires plugging it in and turning it on. Once you turn it on is when you know how awesome this soundbar sounds and is immediately clear that it packs a powerful punch in a not so big size. The great thing about it is that it has many sound modes including Q-symphony, Dolby Atmos, Game Mode Pro, Active Voice Amplifier and many more. The Q-Symphony mode is truly magical because it fills the room with sound that you wouldn't think is possible from a soundbar in this size. Everyone that enjoys watching movies nowadays knows about Dolby Atmos and its ability to deliver sound from the upfiring speakers to truly immerse you into a movie. Game mode pro is also a sound mode I enjoy a lot since I game occasionally and helps me get immersed in my games with its crazy 3D sound capabilities. It's hard to talk about every awesome feature this soundbar has since there are so many, but for anyone that purchases this for their home entertainment setup, they will be blown away by this soundbar and I recommend it to everyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive Sound from a Simple Package [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a large bedroom (12’x15’) and very high, vaulted ceilings to 12 feet. The Samsung HW-Q800D is meant to replace an older 2.1 soundbar that vastly lacked in volume and surround features. Can the Samsung HW-Q800D make a difference in such a voluminous space? Let me tell you that it can and then some. First off, let’s talk about connectivity. If you have HDMI eARC on your TV, connect it there, and you are off to the races. If you want Bluetooth connectivity to your phone or tablet, that’s also easy enough as well. Finally, if you want to connect to WiFi to make it a smart speaker with Google Assistant, Alexa, or Bixby that’s easy enough with the Samsung SmartThings app. The sound stage for the HW-Q800D truly does impress even in a large room such as mine. I tested the surround channels through my gaming console settings, and the sound bar’s ability to produce discrete locations for sound that clearly defined height and depth truly is astounding. Credit goes to SpaceFit Sound Pro for being able to calibrate the space in my room for the optimal listening experience. I watched various movies and programs to test the sound quality and was truly amazed at the clarity of dialogue (even better with Active Voice Amplifier on), the rumble of bass from action scenes, and the fidelity of music from soundtracks. Believe me when I say it is a very enjoyable and immersive experience. I have found that even with streaming music and programming that only has 5.1 or stereo, this system makes everything sound all that much better. Now, the only drawback to this soundbar is if you truly wanted the extra surround stage with rear speakers. If your set-up does not require this, then this is truly the best choice for a single surround soundbar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X capabilities.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb Sound Quality [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sound bar packs some serious punch. The sound quality fills my living room as if it’s a theater - it’s evident from the first use that the Dolby Atmos sound quality is superior. The setup of the soundbar was quick and seamless, it connected wirelessly to my Samsung TV, which allowed for a clean wireless look on my entertainment stand. Having a Samsung TV paired with this setup allows for utilization of the Q-Symphony feature which up levels the amount of sound that fills the space. Would highly recommend this product paired with a Samsung tv. The subwoofer adds a level of bass that is just right, without distorting any sound. I did experience some issues in connecting the soundbar to the SmartThings app, however I was able to get it connected by manually adding it in. Overall this is a very impressive product for the price point, and I would definitely recommend for anybody looking to add theater like sound in their home with minimal setup and minimal space being utilized in their entertainment center.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Huge Sound, Semi Small Package [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung HW-Q800D is a 5.1.2 channel soundbar which supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, providing an immersive and powerful audio experience for movies and TV shows. It comes with a wireless subwoofer that delivers deep and punchy bass. Designed with a sleek and minimalist aesthetic, the soundbar fits neatly under most TVs. It features an HDMI input and output that support 4K HDR passthrough, as well as an optical input and a USB port. Additionally, it offers built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for seamless wireless streaming from your devices. You can control the soundbar using the included remote, the Samsung SmartThings app, or even your preferred voice assistants via Alexa, Google Home, and Bixby as well as having Chromecast and Apple Airplay 2 built in. One standout feature is the Q-Symphony technology, which enables the soundbar to work harmoniously with compatible Samsung TVs, creating an enveloping soundstage. The soundbar also provides various sound modes and settings that you can customize to your liking. In terms of sound quality, the HW-Q800D impresses, especially considering its price range. It handles a wide range of audio formats, delivering clear and balanced sound across the frequency spectrum. The up-firing speakers contribute to a convincing sense of height and overhead effects for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content. Meanwhile, the subwoofer whose dimensions are comparable to an average sized desktop computer, adds an impactful rumble to low-end frequencies, enhancing action scenes. However, there’s a trade-off: the soundbar lacks rear speakers, limiting its surround sound capabilities. While it creates a wide and spacious soundstage, it can’t reproduce accurate directional sounds from behind you. For a more complete surround sound experience, you may consider purchasing optional rear speakers from Samsung, though this will increase the overall cost and complexity of your setup, it might add some additional depth for all the audiophiles out there. In summary, the Samsung HW-Q800D is an excellent choice for those seeking a straightforward and semi-budget-friendly way to enhance their TV audio comparable to other high end systems.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Experience the Impact!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never knew sound quality could be so impactful! The soundbar and speakers provide a level of immersion I never thought possible at home. Samsung has brought the experience of being immersed in the movie right to your living room with the Dolby Atmos surround sound and Q-Symphony function!!! The set up was so simple and easy, I could do it on my own. From unboxing, universal connections, and setup, I was ready to roll in 30 minutes. Everything connected instantly to my TV without excessive bulky cables and remotes. The technology is next level! There is even a videogame mode that my kids cannot get over the effect it has on their game-play experience, feeling like they are right in the middle of the action. 10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for an elevated at-home music, tv, movie-watching experience!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Sound Quality [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung is a GREAT brand once it’s been installed attached to my Samsung TV and the music started flowing. I was amazed by the sound, it sounded so similar to when you go into an entertainment center store and the sounds so perfect there but when you get home, it’s completely different. Well look no further this brand is outstanding and the sound quality is going to make your jaw drop. If you’re a gamer this is a must have. The size of the subwoofer is a perfect fit. The volume is extremely high and continues to sound great and I would say it can actually host a bigger gathering/party, if in case that’s what you’re looking for. I’m very pleased and happy. I made the selection. It will work great for my family and not to mention when it comes to family movie night I know that subwoofer is going to scare the living crap out of us when it comes to a scary movie.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from All the nooks and crannies [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Soundbar Q800D is exceptional, offering a rich and immersive experience. Its Dolby Atmos and DTS:X technologies deliver room-filling, dimensional sound that is incredibly lifelike. The design is sleek and modern, making it a striking addition to any entertainment setup. For our first movie, we took the soundbar for a spin watching the Musical, The Color Purple. The speakers did a great job enveloping the cricket sounds in the scenes were the characters were in the woods. You felt as if the crickets were truly around you. The highlight of the whole system is the massive subwoofer, offering a rich, and clean bass. The sound bar is also feature rich easily connecting to our whole house google Home speaker group, offers Amazon Alexa which we had never used prior to this. Additionally, while the system does not have rear speakers, the detailed sound profile allows you to avoid having them, keeping clutter to a minimum while still offering a sound rich experience. The soundbar is definetly heavy but we were still able to mount it under the TV using 3rd party VESA mounts.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Excellent sound in the right spaces... [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung HW-Q800D is magic in the right spaces. In my master bedroom, this soundbar truly sings, whether watching a movie, playing games, or listening to music. Connecting to it via my SmartThings setup was a breeze, enabling ease of control. I do not have a 4k tv or Dolby Atmos compatible receiver, so I had to hook it up through my gaming device to be able to fully test and access the higher end sound features. From the confines of my large master bedroom, this unit truly performed without having to ramp up the volume, making you feel like you are wrapped up in the action from all sides. I definitely noticed differences in the settings between movies and gaming in my master bedroom setup. The downside for me was when I took it into my living room, which is a large open format ranch style space, with Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen and Front Room spaces all conjoined and flowing into each other. When hooked up in this space, I really had to turn up the volume to a point where it was too loud for others in the adjoining spaces in order for me to get the same surrounded feel from this soundbar as I had in my master bedroom space. SpaceFit Sound didn’t seem to help in this vacuous space, and toggling between the various sound options while playing different options: (IE: Movie, Gaming, or Music) felt like it had only super subtle difference in sound quality. It was in this larger sweeping space that my older surround sound system had better results with less volume required to envelop me. That being said, I still fully recommend this soundbar for all types of audio uses if you have a more conventional enclosed or smaller space. I will be moving this unit back into my bedroom or downstairs into my game room. But for those who have larger more open flowing spaces, this unit may not be the best fit/bang for the buck.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from It has a great sound but could be better [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the opportunity to test this item at home and we have subjected it to all kinds of tests, the first thing I did was connect it to my phone and then to the television. In my opinion it is a very large and heavy item for the service it offers. Although it has a clear sound, impressive and very enveloping bass, the volume is not high enough for its size. Its installation is easy but you are practically forced to have a piece of furniture with space to install the bar since due to its size you could not simply put it under the television because it steals part of the screen if you put it in front and it is not too big to be underneath. For example, I wanted to try it on the TV in the living room, which is where we share the most, and I couldn't find a way to make room for the bar on my furniture. I would have to put it somewhere else or change furniture to be able to use it in my room. The built-in screen can be confusing when configuring bar options. Overall it is a very good product with incredible sound. As the days go by, I find more spectacular features and some bugs too. First the good: About the Dolby Atmos surround sound, definitely WOW! I would like to have a chair with movement in my house to feel completely like in a movie theater, it is a unique experience with very vivid sounds. about the Q-Symphony function I couldn't test it because my television is not compatible. about the sound from the rear speakers up/side, if you have your bar well placed this will make your room a complete movie theater as the sounds will come from everywhere. About the SpaceFit Sound Pro is how having a sound engineer adapting your bar to your environment analyzes the sound signals to offer you an ideal sound experience for each scene is magical! Seeing the face of my daughter and her friends while they play their video games with Game Mode Pro is priceless, the bass in special moments is incredible. Finally, with the active voice amplifier function, the dialogue will be clarified and that will help you hear Conversations on screen clearly amidst a variety of background noises. Now the uncomfortable thing is that sometimes the connection with the TV and Apple TV is slow and can disconnect several times

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice sound, attractive, and affordable [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While opening the soundbar I was suprized by the weight of it, the thing is solid! The next thing i realized after setting it on my tv stand is how good looking it is. The installation was extremely easy. Just hook the hdmi to the Earc port on my tv and plugged in the power. The tv and soundbar did the rest of the setup for me. Now for the sound. I started off watching an f1 race and the sound was incredible. Nice and clear and a MAJOR improvement over my tvs built in speakers. Speaking of my tvs speakers this soundbar supports Q-symphony which uses you tvs speakers to farther enhance the surround effect of the sound bar. This combination along with the upward and side firing speakers and it sound like your at the race with engine noise echoing from all around you. A future this soundbar has that I didn't initially realize is that it will actually make the voices of people speaking on the tv louder if it senses the room is noisy. It's subtle but it's definitely there. I believe it's called active voice amplifier. Next thing I tried out was some music. This is where the clear and crisp sound really shined through. I regularly listen to piano and classical violin and the soundbar was great for this. There is also I feature called soudfit pro which is supposed to adjust the volume and firing of the speakers to fit the room. It didn't make much difference for me but my sound bar is in a very large open kitchen/living area. Overall I was extremely impressed with the overall quality and sound of the device. I would definitely recommend it for someone looking to improve the stock speakers on there tv.
