There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I bought a Bose 500 Soundbar ($500) and although it had decent sound quality it didn’t make me feel wow or anything. Decided to add the Bose 500 bass module ($400) to see if it would sound better but still felt there was something missing, sound wasn’t that crystal clear, felt a little muddy. I decided then to try the Sonos Playbar which felt a lot better, crisp and crystal clear but no enough bass. The Sonos bar was $700 and didn’t want to spend another $700 for the bass. I did some more research online and found out about this Samsung Soundbar and decided to give it a try even though I felt that there was no way Samsung could possibly be at the level of Bose or Sonos, well I was wrong!!!
This Soundbar and bass system is amazing, I love how clear and crisp it is with a very decent bass. Great for music, movies and games! I’m so happy with it! Thumbs up for Samsung and this great system!
I am really surprised it doesn’t have better reviews online!
Hope this info helps someone to decide which sound system to buy!
I think the 3 sentence (if any) bad reviews just don't have this thing hooked up right or have it properly decoded via Dolby or DTS. You know which ones I am talking about. "sounds awful doesn't work my tv speakers sound better blah blah blah". Some could have had a legit problem but not the case here.
For my setup, I have a 15x14 living room with higher ceilings of approximately 12 feet. I have a Samsung MU 80000 and not only does this look good with the setup but there's equalization available through the Audio menu in the TV. I replaced an old LG 316 soundbar, and this N650 makes it sound like garbage. This is hooked up via HDMI Arc, and this Soundbar and woofer get LOUD!
Sometimes I have to play with the settings to get optimal sound. With a Samsung TV, this is possible in the advanced audio settings. I've found mostly the DTS Neo decoding seems to be the most rich to my ears, Dolby will sound better with dialogue. The Game mode can sound slightly tinny with the acoustic beam, Surround seems to be better use of the Acoustic beam and creates a great envelopment of sound. Standard shuts off upward firing beam and seems to be best with most music. If you buy one, play with the settings, and don't ignore the Dolby/DTS aspect of things to see what you like.
Here's some icing on the cake: I ordered another Samsung soundbar with the SWA 9000 rear speakers included in that, and since it was for a spare room, I paired the rears with this N650 and it paired perfectly. It says the 8500s are the only compatible, but not true, the 9000's paired just fine and can control the rear speaker volume via the soundbar remote, not the TV, that is the only catch. I have the rears directly to my left and right due to my living room setup. With this included in surround mode, it sounds AMAZING. This is where Dolby decoding seems to have an edge mostly over the DTS Neo- the faint effects seem to work a little better with Dolby decoding with the rear speakers.
Playing games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Call of Duty WW2 is quite impressive just with the soundbar, but with the SWA 9000's, WOW. Journeying out in the woods and hearing all the little effects from bugs to birds, to people talking in RDR 2 easily makes me lost in awe and immersed even more into the game. Highly recommend the rear speakers with any Samsung setup!
Now, it isn't perfect, I think this is an experiment with Samsung, and here's why. No wifi connectivity? BOOOOO. Bluetooth is only 2.1 and it sounds it. You just don't get the quality of sound out of Bluetooth that it is capable of. Listening to Spotify or music is best directly from the TV, aux, just not bluetooth. Crank the woofer as high as it can go. It is super punchy, but needs the bass boost. It'll surprise you, meaning you don't notice it much until a gunshot or explosion and you'll feel this thing wake right up. Other than those small gripes, big deal, this thing is great.
Buy this if you want a fun soundbar with an excellent surround sound effect that isn't atmos, I am loving mine!
Did take some time to get all the settings to sound the best from my LG tv and the Soundbar. Bass is surprising how much it provides seeing how small the sub is. Music streamed from Alexa dot to blu tooth works very well also. Just say Alexa connect blu tooth then play music from her.
Any poor sound is because of sources not the sound bar.
Overall extremely happy with this purchase.
