    Customers are dissatisfied with the volume of the speakers. They mention that the volume setting is dumb, the overall volume of unit was very weak, and the device voice is slightly louder than anything else. The adjustments to the sound are limited, and it tens to waver. After one week, the volume continually turned itself down to zero. There is no sound mode level indicator, and using HDMI cables, they could not change volume.

    I'm done with Samsung. Long review, but worth the read.

    I'm done with Samsung. Long review, but worth the read.
    This will be my last purchase from Samsung, but that may not be a good indicator of this product's worth. Hear me out. This year, I've upgraded all of my Samsung devices; TV, phone, soundbar etc. And with all of them, the device has been relatively good with a few bugs and tech support hiccups. The main reason I'm done with Samsung is their awful customer service. I ordered this soundbar twice from Samsung's direct website and was sent the wrong item both times and it was because of the customer service employees I spoke to who gave me bad information and made promises that they didn't keep, so I eventually just bought it from here on Amazon. Likewise, any technical support issue I've had with them has been much much much more difficult than it needs to be. I hate to be that guy, but it's just very evident that they don't speak English very well. There's a definite language barrier and it shows.So here's the kicker though, after all of that hassle Samsung customer service put me through and the various technical issues that have been an enormous pain in the neck, I still was able to look at the specs of this device and make an objective judgment that this was a good value for the money. It was $199.00 for a 5.0 Ch speaker with side tweeters, Bluetooth and wifi connectivity, and a built in Alexa assistant. You're just not going to find a deal like that from a reputable manufacturer very often. And while I'm definitely buying a Sony tv next time and an iPhone for my next upgrades, I don't know that I'll ever need to replace this soundbar because it's everything I need. The sound is awesome for just a standalone soundbar and it gets very loud without sacrificing audio quality. It's also very sleek and modern and takes up much less space than our old 2.0 Ch speaker. The punch that this soundbar packs is very good for its size and it delivers just about as well as I'd hoped.So one caveat is that I had a difficult time setting up the built in Alexa and the tech support was terrible once again, but I eventually figured it out on my own. I had to unplug the soundbar and install a firmware update for it in the smart things app. So once again, I'd say that the specs of this device are just a great deal for next to $200, but you're buying from a company that doesn't care enough about your needs to provide decent customer service and tech support. That could lead to headaches like buying a product 3 times from 2 different websites until you get the right one or being on the phone for 2 hours to fix a 5 minute problem etc. So that's what you've gotta judge for yourself. Is it worth the risk and potential headache? In the case of this particular device, I'd argue that it is as long as the price is right. 👍

    Enlaza directamente con el monitor neo qled y es buen sonido, manejable con un solo control.
    Muy estético y ligero con buena conectividad en HDMI Arc, óptico y Bluetooth, con indicadores led en la parte superior, muy visibles aunque el acabado es de tela, elegante por cierto.
