Customer reviews for Samsung 4.1 Channel Soundbar w/Subwoofer - HW C47M forMy honest opinion
Finally went out and bought this soundbar. It's my first one and it performs great. I was worried because of some of the negative reviews on here but after having it hooked up for about 2 hours. I think most of the complaints were just operator errors. Fresh out the box the settings are all set at zero. So I thought the thing had no bass. You have to adjust them through the sound bar. Such as turning the treble and bass up to your acquired taste. After that you really can feel the bass and highs. Set up was a breeze. If you have a Samsung t.v. it's even easier. It hooks up via Bluetooth.

Pretty Good. Not Perfect.
Without question I would not have bought this soundbar if I’d realized it didn’t have HDMI ARC or any sort of HDMI pass through. It only has optical. That being said I was pleasantly surprised at the sound output and bass. And the value’s not bad considering it comes with rear speakers. Build quality is a little dinky compared to my other soundbars but they also cost double, so it is what it is.
Amazing sound all around
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are a family of 5 who love to spend time watching movies. We have weekly family nights wether we watch a movie, TV show, or play video games this system makes the experience so much better couldn't not imagine having family nights without surround system
Crap soundbar with the rest
The soundbar is trash after turning it up once with alternative rock it started to make an ugly sound on the right side. Very disappointed in the power, the ONN BLAST 5.1 is louder but cheaper quality material. Subwoofer is very nice but lacks real bump with some music. Two rear l/r speakers are great!

Works as advertised and is simple to install.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is actually a very good system for the price. Connecting the system was very simple and straightforward. My only grips I have with this system that the bass isn't as full as other system I've owned at this price range.

solved my issues
it let me focus the sound to be pointed at me while in bed and i can use it at a much lower volume compared to the TV speakers. since the walls are thin here everyone always had a problem trying to sleep because they could hear my TV even though i could barely hear what was going on. the sound bar solved that problem and it let me hear the little knocks and bumps that i couldn't hear before paranormal videos.
Not good
This soundbar is awful. I gave it two stars because it is better than basic TV sound but if you want real quality surround sound this is not it. The sub is so quiet you can’t even hear it even turned up all the way. The rear speakers just give you the same sound as the center speakers not the background sounds like rear speakers are supposed to. The Bluetooth connection causes horrible sound delays between the tv and the soundbar. Connecting it via optical does fix that but the optical doesn’t sound as good. The lack of HDMI is a major flaw. It’s the best connection option these days. This soundbar is not worth the price. My cheap $150 Hisense in my garage sounds better than this.

BEST EVER!!!
It was so easy to set up and plug into the tv!!. After about 7 months of using this surround sound system it is still working like brand new AND IT WORKS AMAZINGLY!!. If you have a hard time hearing a soft talking in any movie or tv show than you need this for sure!
Love my sound system
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my sound system almost solely for television and movies. The system's size is easily manageable and looks great in the entertainment center, under my wall mounted television. I've never had any issues with blown or cracking speakers and we've definitely tested it very close to its upper limits.
