[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've have this device for a little over 5 months now and I must say the base sound quality is exquisite... even when you turn the volume all the way up it doesn't get raspy to where you have to turn it down

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so thoroughly impressed by this sound bar. Our household loves striving to create the best soundscapes and experiences we can, as we digest a LOT of media. We selected the Samsung HW-S800D (3.1.2 channel setup) knowing that this best carries theater-like sound throughout the large room this lives in. What really sold us was the form factor AND usage of Dolby Atmos, which is largely why the 3.1.2 channel setup sounds as good as it does. Setup was NOT as easy as expected (or as the instructions tried to convince us it was). The subwoofer did not automatically pair with the soundbar like the instructions alluded to, and I had to do the manual pairing process thrice to finally get them to pair. I believe the issue was that the soundbar was trying to download/install a software update after I got it set up on my wifi and in my Smart Things app. I say “I believe”, since there was no indication that this software update was being attempted until after each timeI rebooted the soundbar while following the instructions under troubleshooting the subwoofer. I do like that the Smart Things app integration (and wifi integration for that matter) was optional. It added additional steps to my setup since I understand and appreciate the integrations it provides my household, but I love that it was not mandatory for the folks who may not care. Overall, as frustrating as the setup was for a few moments, the sound quality is immaculate and worth the fuss ten times over.

I wanted a soundbar that matched my TV and decided to pair this due to the Q-Symphony. The sound bar itself is great. The Subwoofer and surrounds are well below the previous brand that I had. There is little to now response from the subwoofer and the surrounds are barely noticeable. I am not happy with this purchase at all.

We are pairing with a frame TV via bluetooth and the delay is horrible. Samsung support basically said there is some "interference" and delay to be expected. If that was the case, including the wire for hookup would have been helpful. Very disappointed in the technology. Also you can't get all of the audio features when connected via bluetooth.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of the standout features of this soundbar is its surround sound system. With Dolby Atmos technology, sound is not only projected forward but also upwards, creating a three-dimensional audio experience that fills the room. The soundbar's upward-firing speakers add height to the soundstage, immersing you in a sphere of sound that brings movies to life and puts you in the center of the action. Whether it's the thunderous roar of a blockbuster explosion or the subtle ambiance of a quiet scene, the surround sound system delivers an immersive experience that enhances your viewing pleasure. Product Benefits: Dolby Atmos technology creates a captivating surround sound experience. Wireless connectivity eliminates clutter and allows for flexible placement. Adaptive sound technology optimizes audio settings for different content types. Multiple input options, including HDMI and Bluetooth, offer versatility in connectivity. Slim and sleek design complements any home entertainment setup. Personal Experience: As a cinephile and avid gamer, I was eager to upgrade my home audio setup, and the Samsung HW-S800D 3.1.2ch Soundbar did not disappoint. From the moment I set it up, I was impressed by the sound quality and surround sound capabilities. Whether I'm watching the latest blockbuster movie or diving into an intense gaming session, the soundbar pulls me into the action with its immersive audio. One of the things I appreciate most about this soundbar is its versatility. It seamlessly connects to my TV via HDMI ARC and also offers Bluetooth connectivity for streaming music from my smartphone. The wireless subwoofer adds a powerful punch to the bass without the need for messy cables, and the adaptive sound technology ensures that audio settings are optimized for whatever I'm watching or listening to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound on this unit is very deep and immersive. We have the bar under the TV and the subwoofer on a Cabinet In the corner of the room and it really just surrounds you with sound. The bass is deep and it’s easy to control with the app. My partner wishes it would connect to apple airplay as easy as it is to connect to our Samsung TV. I’m overall extremely satisfied with the sound and aesthetics of the unit.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I love Samsung products. I own Samsung phone, TV, and basically the entire entertainment system. It was easy to pair the Samsung ultra slim soundbar and subwoofer with my TV and phone. I have been watching movies and YouTube videos, and am blown away with how today's technology enables such small device to produce such amazing sound quality! Highly recommended!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From a background perspective, I have had at least a half a dozen soundbara over the years. This model, however, is my favorite. Visitors to my house are always perplexed about where the wonderful sound is coming from. Certainly it can't be coming from that slim soundbar, especially the bass. I have the wireless bass hidden under a nearby end table, so it's not easily seen. And since it's wireless, there are no wires giving away its location. You can tweak its sound, which includes amplifying voices, if so desired. And don't let is small form factor deceive you, it can get quite loud. As I said in the beginning of this review, it is easily my favorite soundbar.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, the "Ultra-Slim Design" truly is ultra-slim. I haven't seen any soundbar this slim, ever. Aesthetically, it's a very nice design and looks really great under my 65" OLED. It's also lightweight. The Subwoofer also has a nice design and is heavy. It fits nicely anywhere you place it and is not ugly where you want to hide it behind furniture. I like how they did not cover the subwoofers with mesh. With it being so slim, and mounted under my TV, I don't get the full effects of Dolby Atmos from the up-firing speakers. This is more of a placement issue on my end, but something to be aware of. Also, the control buttons are on top of the unit as well, so once mounted like I have, it's impossible to access the controls. I would say this design is more for placement on a table/entertainment stand, slightly in front of the TV, or above, which you can use the mounting brackets for or a universal soundbar attachment. Sound-wise, the output is great. It is slightly quieter than my previous soundbar in the mid-range, but that's most likely attributed to how slim the main soundbar is. You would need more surface area on the speakers in order to push this range. That's basic physics. Dolby Atmos works as intended when placed ahead of the TV. The sound modes for SpaceFit, Adaptive, and Game Mode are also nice options. Especially the active voice amplifier, it's nice to be able to hear dialogue at normal volumes. Instead of cranking it up just to hear spoken words, and then being assaulted by sound effects and explosions later. IYKYK. I'm curious to see if Samsung has any add-ons for additional speakers as well. I did sync it to my SmartThings App, but that was only because of my mounting situation. I need to be able to access settings and that was difficult to do with the top mounted controls I mentioned earlier. The app itself had all the options displayed nicely and even had options for updating the software on the Soundbar. They even had more equalizer settings if you truly wanted to adjust. I wish they had more default sound options to choose from though. All in all, this is a great soundbar. It's solid and appears to be well built. It's the best compromise for design and quality among others I've used. It's truly plug and play, and setting up eArc was seamless. I would consider it one of the better home theater options you can get, before diving into separate components.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dolby atoms sound quality of this device is seriously impressive; it delivers clear highs and deep, punchy bass that really elevates the listening experience. Its size is just perfect, not too big, not too small, making it ideal for any space. I really enjoyed playing around with different sound modes. The features that I most enjoy are Standard and DTS virtual; the sounds are crystal clear, it makes you feel fully immersed. I found that Surround and Game mode are very similar, in the way the sounds were portrayed. Surround was perfect for an action movie. Having played a few games with the new speaker, I noticed that I was really engulfed in the gameplay. This definitely enhanced the entire experience. I found the voice amplifier to be pretty cool. It absolutely brought out and emphasized the voice from the music. This speaker brings out another element from the voice that would otherwise not be seen or noticed on other speakers. What I love most is how easy it is to use and connect to other devices. It’s nice to have an app to control the speaker and changes its features from your mobile device. Connecting it to our TV was simple and quick. It was just as easy to switch to phones whenever I needed. Overall, if you're looking for a speaker that delivers great sound, is easy to use, and plays well with others, this is definitely worth checking out.
