Samsung HT-WS1G review

It's as pretty as a picture, but there's no way we can recommend this woefully lacking Samsung soundbar

Svelte looks, smooth finish ; wireless subwoofer ; out-and-out scale of sound

Ineffective focus and soundstaging ; subwoofer sounds like it’s from a different system altogether

We haven’t had a product as inadequate as this from Samsung in a long time

Samsung HT-WS1G review

A soundbar with a wireless subwoofer. Yes, you read that correctly

Design ; Wireless subwoofer

Lacks oomph ; Limited connections

Gorgeous to look at and some decent features on board, but lacks power

4 out of 5 rating -- Most common complaint are not an issue

Some people complained about it interfering with your wireless internet connection. It did, but it's not an issue. I simply logged into my router and changed the wireless channel (I picked the highest, channel 11), and I had no more disruption to my...

Firstly, because of the occasional review complaints about it dying after a number of months, I purchased a cheap after manufacturer 3-year extended warranty, and still only paid about $160 for this setup. The sub woofer was also larger than I expected...

My one complaint is one I read in some other reviews. That is that there is an echo in the sound, unless you turn off your TV's internal speakers. I had to switch it to solely the external speaker setting on the TV. That said, it is quite simple to do...

Samsung HT-WS1G

Ideal for those people who want to improve the sound they recieve from their TV without going to all the expense and clutter of a full home cinema system.

Restricted to 3 pre determined "Equaliser" configurations, which cannot be adjusted.

Samsung HT-WS1G

Easy to install, worked straight from the box. A definite improvement on the TV sound. Reasonable sound quality for the price, deals with music very well.

Subwoofer is rather large and the surround sound aspect is negligible.
