Ok but deficient in some aspects

 

the smart volume which is meant to level volume as you tune through different channels often doesn't normalize volume. Its either too loud or too low. The manual states that the BD E-6500 can be connected via the HDMI in jack and that both picture and...

Built-in speakers, Lightweight

Did not meet expectations, audio sound quality isn't very impressive

Consumer review by:

good sound, system so-so

 

I bought this soundbar to go with a Samsung 55" 7100 Smart TV thinking I would get good seamless synch, but no: 1. Hook up in the directions-preferred method using HDMI ARC cables and the TV remote will cut the soundbar off, BUT NOT ON... 2. So, OK,...

Nice smooth powerful base headroom and treble clarity - good built in equalizer settings - drama/cinema/music/etc

Not fully integrated system with Samsung TV's - bummer

Improved sound over TV sound alone.

 

Never used speakers before so we have nothing to compare to. Yes the soundbar produces better sound over the sound of the TV alone, but at times speaking portions of some shows sounds muffled and can't be understood. For the novice the instructions...

More depth to the sound

Some programs have muffled sound (especially talking parts)

Great SoundBar for Price

 

This sound bar looks like a custom built speaker. Sound quality is crystal clear!

Looks like a custom built speaker

Good sound for the price

 

Bought this unit on Black Friday to pair with my Samsung LED TV. Since our set is mounted above the fireplace, we were looking for something without a bunch of wires and slim enough to sit on the mantle. Note that it is not completely wireless. The...

Easy to connect, stylish

Not exceptional bass

Was told it would work perfectly...it didn't

 

One of my few bad experiences with Best Buy, or should I say, an employee of Best Buy. He assured me that this item would work and fit with my TV and it didn't. Wasn't even close. Had to totally unbox and put together to find out that it wouldn't fit....

How easy Best Buy made it for me to return it

Didn't fit after I was assured it would

great sound

Inexpensive, Lightweight

Perfect Balance

 

For the price & the performance you can not beat it. Simple and easy to use. This will not replace your high power full performance stereo system. However it gives you a nice full sound with the flex ability of location. If your looking to give your...

great as rplacement for TV speakers

 

First, samsung should be liable for advertizing this as a wireless subwoofer, subwoofer is sub-par at best. I went to BB and listened to others in this price range and will be returning this system and getting another brand. I really loved the looks of...

replacement for tv speakers only

not wireless, subwoofer much to weak
