Samsung HW-MS550 All in One Smart Soundbar

I thought the tv sound wasn't that bad when i first got but it if you are watching with the soundbar on then turn it off its unbelievable the difference it makes!!
When the sound surrounds you it is like being in the cinemas, definitely would recommend to anyone who wants that little extra punch to their sound quality.
It's made a huge difference to the sound quality of our smart tv.
I don’t claim to be a hifi guru but appreciate good quality and the sound seems excellent (especially for the price point)
Really has made a difference to the sound quality from our TV and was very easy to install

Samsung HW-MS650 All in One Smart Soundbar

Had this about a week now. Really good bass. Very nice low sound.
Vocals are clearer, there is no distortion, and the bass packs a hell of a punch considering there's no separate sub.
Very good sound bar , crystal clear and plenty of bass.
It still sounds great even at lower volumes, which you'll probably want to stick to unless you really hate your neighbours.
Absolutely awesome sound bar. Worth every penny. Clear speech and fantastic bass even without the sub woofer.

The unit itself is quite heavy but very solid.
All in all, I'm very pleased with what I've heard so far & with the look of the soundbar & would recommend it if you're upgrading or thinking of giving a soundbar a go.
Nice and sleek. I've not fitted it to the wall yet but looks like the brackets will do that job.
Great sound ,looks good under TV, very happy with this soundbar.
It is so easy to setup! Has great volume and sound, looks amazing.

Samsung HW-MS550 All in One Smart Soundbar

I also connected my Amazon Echo to the soundbar using Bluetooth. This works great. just tell alexa to 'connect bluetooth' and the soundbar turns on and connects .
The samsung multiroom also allows you to stream music from your phone or several apps like spotify etc.
Sounds just like I'm in the movies. It does a really good job at directing sound.
The soundbar is now used as the echos speaker enabling you to play whatever music you want through it. Awesome!
It does a really good job at directing sound. ( i.e Plane flying over head, explosions from behind)

Samsung HW-MS650 All in One Smart Soundbar

I've only had it for one day but I've given it a test using Sky, Netflix, Amazon Video & Amazon Music & Blu-ray & all platforms work very well, I am very impressed.
The volume level changes depending on what you're watching. With Sky, I could go up to 40, with Netflix & Amazon Video, 21 was fine & with a Blu-ray film I could go as low as 9 & it was still quite loud.
The difference is very noticeable and creates a good atmosphere when viewing certain programmes.
This is a huge improvement on the TV speakers. The bass response is impressive even though there is not a separate bass speaker.
This sound bar is great for its size. The bass is better than I expected. It offers a variety of sounds for what different types of programs.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Samsung HW-MS550 All in One Smart Soundbar

Bluetooth, optic, HDMI connections available. Mountable or stand alone options. Amazing.
Set up (via HDMI) was very simple and being Samsung products the HDMI Anynet allows control from the tv remote.
I found it easy to set up via HDMI, Bluetooth and WiFi - up and running in minutes.
Rich sound and no lag, easy pairing with BT or WIFI. I used HDMI ARC which is my preferred hook up.
When playing through Bluetooth or WIFI music sounds great, you can hear every instrument and clear vocals!

Samsung HW-MS650 All in One Smart Soundbar

I have this teamed up with a Samsung 4K UHD HDR+ 65" TV & a Samsung 4K UHD HDR Blu-ray player.
I have connected the soundbar to the Samsung One Connect box ( which connects to the TV ) via HDMI ( ARC ).
Installation was a snap in my case - plugged it in, hooked it up to a spare HDMI-ARC output from my TV, and that was it.
Easy to set up and was working straight out the box in about 5 seconds of switching it on. I've got a Digital optical connection to the telly.
Pleased with the soundbar which is working well Bluetooth.
