An Good Set of Speakers…

This sound bar has an excellent design a super thin sleek look that could be mistaken as part of the tv as it blends in so well. The sub is also a very small well designed I love the fact you dont need to directly plug these woofers to the sound bar to match up. I ended up putting this behind our sofa to get that rumble effect like in the theaters and it worked well for that.
The stand out feature for this set definitely has to be the slim profile of the sound bar it is able to still recreate DTS and dolby atmos (quite well in fact) for the size of the sound bar. Although with beautiful design comes with sacrifices like a loss in some of the deeper lows associated with thicker bigger bodied sound bars and smaller speaker sizes overall. This presents less than ideal sound quality for some types of music and sounds on the movies but for the sleek look these sacrifices i think are okay.
The sound loud enough and very clear in the mids I have no issue hearing vocals and talking on tv shows or movies and it rarely drowns out any sounds. I can definitely hear individual sound tracks clearly which i was very surprised. There does seem to be some digital processing within the soundbars software but it seems to be quite good for watching tv shows and movie so i dont really mind it.
We do get to areas where the sacrifices are too great for me in this part of the review. There is no full size hdmi and instead the soundbar outputs from a mini HDMI port with a associated micro usb for "service". both of these ports seem very outdated for 2024 and are in desparate need of an update even with the sleek design i feel this type of IO is not useful for most consumers even if samsung provides a cable for the HDMI port. Another minus is that due to the small size a power block is neeed to fully power the sound bar making it another item most people will need to find a place to hide, and thus diminishes the sleekness of the sound bar.
