Excellent value for $, especially if you have a recent Samsung TV with SoundShare
By Asya Kamsky
Bought this for Samsung 2013 TV that had pretty crappy sound. Hooked it up via SoundShare which was tricky as "Add New Device" is buried three levels deep (it's under Menu->System->DeviceManager->SoundShareSettings->AddNewDevice.
Once I found it, the set-up was trivially simple. The TV remote now automatically controls the volume on the device (device basically now becomes the speaker for the TV).
The sound is MUCH better than the speakers that are inside the TV, but not all modes work equally well -> sound bar has separate treble and bass controls as well as different "modes" some of which seem useless (sports) and others improve the quality of sound a lot (movie/music/voice). Use the sound bar remote to adjust those.
The speaker is very slim and looks nice - with wireless connection to the TV it doesn't need any special mounting brackets. It only came with audio cable which I'm sure is inferior to connecting it via HDMI or digital optical cable.
Everyone who's complaining about sound quality might want to look into settings and adjust them, or check what cable you used to connect the speaker and use a higher/digital connection. With wireless/SoundShare the sound is great but every once in a while it "hiccups" - I'm guessing that wireless interference and will probably connect it via optical cable for long term use.

For the price this is a great buy however
By kmcmillan
For the price this is a great buy however, if you are expecting true surround with booming bass you will be sadly mistaken. I wanted to boost the sound and give it more depth to compensate for the thin tinny quality of my Samsung TV. It does the job and is pretty impressive. HOWEVER...setting this sucker up was a nightmare. If you hook it up via optical you cannot control the volume with anything other than the tiny remote that it comes with. You cant program it to your universal...trust me...3 hours of screaming and pushing buttons got me nowhere...so what to do? A tiny remote in my house is just begging to end up missing...so i go buy another HDMI cable because someone somewhere said theirs was programmable once hooked up via HDmI...and everything you read on the internet is true, right? So..i followed the directions. I dont have the Arc option on my tv so i plugged my cable box to the HDMI in port and used another cabe to go HDMI out to the Tv. Turn it on and set it to the function for HDMI and voila! Let there be sound. I try to program my remote....nada. its at this point that i notice the tv telling me that the aynet device isnt recognized. I went into the tv settings and told it to search...whatta ya kniw...it added it...i then turned aynet on on the soundbar by holding the aynet button on said tiny remote for 3 seconds...im still not quite sure if this step was necessary. Hit the uni remote and lo and behold....the volume worked!!!!! I turn on my dvd player..which is hooked up via rca...no sound...wii...no sound...im changing functions on the soundbar like a mad man to no avail...what the heck...they worked before when i had the optical hooked up.....and lightbulb...i hook the optical cable back in alongside the hdmi...and everything works. If this helps one single person i will feel as if i have done my part to contribute to humanity

For a smaller room, it is good!
By A. Hudson (east coast) Bisou bisou
If you are expecting to be blown away by this you will be disappointed. If you keep in mind that it is a 2.1 channel with 290 watts total (sound bar 160 watts subwoofer 130 watts), you will be happy.
I decided to place this in my bedroom with a Toshiba TV. I must admit, this is packed very well! Samsung did a great job there. On the product page on Amazon, it states: Batteries: 2 AA batteries required (included), that is not the case, it comes with a CR2032 battery for the remote which is nice.
Unpacking and setting this up took about ten minutes for me. I did not use any cables that were provided, I used my own optical cable which is the one: AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters). Pairing the wireless sub woofer was easy! Make sure you raise the sub to get the best sound you can. Some people put it on the floor, it needs to be raised. As far as the sound bar, it comes with mounting brackets but I placed it directly in front of my TV since it is raised. This is the sleekest sound bar I have ever seen, I was very impressed Samsung was able to make it so slender. The sub is obviously a bigger size and decent weight.
Once hooked up I went through the presets and have to say I am enjoying the ‘cinema’ the most. ‘Sports’ sounds good too, with it focusing on the center sound, but sounds full and rich. They both have just enough bass where the other presets were too tinny for me.
Pairing a Bluetooth device is simple. You just use the remote, pair your device, and viola, you are connected. The first device I paired was my iPod Touch (5th generation) and was amused by the fact that the display read out it was my, it read my full name and then iPod Touch, that is impressive! With my Touch I have streamed Pandora and also my Amazon music library. I also watch TV shows (from my Touch) and might stream the sound if I am in the next room which is my vanity room getting ready.
The only complaint I have, I can’t stand any static at all while listening to audio of any kind, probably why I can’t stand any radio stations. I have had some static come through and it is bothersome. I notice it more though since it is something that has always bothered me where others are not as sensitive. I know it is because the Sub is hooked up wirelessly but there is inference coming from somewhere. It is not much, but enough for me to mention.
Again, if you are going to get this knowing it is more of a bedroom or small room sound system, you will be fine. However, if you are looking for a full surround system for your 60 inch TV when you watch movies, I would find something else more powerful and with at least 5.1 or 7.1 (even though 5.1 what is usually broadcasted). However, for what it offers, I am impressed.
