Samsung Soundbar S801B – First Impressions
We have a Samsung QN800B 65 TV and this soundbar is an ideal accompaniment.
Consisting of the extremely slim soundbar and a compact subwoofer unit along with a remote control and wall-mounting hardware. Basic controls are on top of the soundbar with LED indicators on the front.
Out of the box setup is straight forward with the quick start guide included. There is minimal packaging.
I connected the mains cables to both the soundbar and subwoofer. Once powered up, I added the soundbar in the SmartThings app and configured Wi-Fi connection to our router. The device was automatically registered with my Samsung account.
Within the TV sound menu, I configured the internal TV speakers to work alongside the new soundbar (Q-Symphony).
All settings were left as default.
I’ve not wall-mounted the unit at this stage, as the TV sits on an AV cabinet.
The sound is noticeably clear on standard TV channels. Viewing movies with Atmos sound, provides detailed sound with good loudness and bass that’s not boomy. I played some of the Atmos demo clips and the sound positioning was impressive. I've not noticed any lip-sync issues.
Overall, I’m impressed with the size of the units, simplicity of configuration and quality of sound.
