This ultra-slim soundbar…

Don’t let the size of the ultra-slim Samsung HW-S700D soundbar fool you, this thing packs a punch! Volume level 20 (it goes from level 0-100) is plenty loud for my apartment’s living room. The audio was crisp coming from both my tv (connected via HDMI) and my phone (connected via bluetooth), and did not sound like a cheap soundbar at all. The subwoofer provides a good amount of bass, and its volume can be controlled with the included remote. Because I use a set-top box, I configured that device’s remote to control the audio from my HW-S700D. I still need to use the included remote if I wanted to adjust the bass volume.
Setup was easy. I just connected the soundbar to my tv using the included HDMI cable (the end that goes into the soundbar is mini-HDMI), connected the power cable to the soundbar and subwoofer, and it was all good to go. The HW-S700D does include mounting brackets for mounting on walls, but I did not use them because I have my tv and soundbar on a stand.
My issue with the HW-S700D is minor: it lacks an optical audio port. Because my tv only has 3 HDMI ports, I had to use one of them for the soundbar, forcing me to disconnect one of the devices already connected to the tv. While an inconvenience, it was minor in the long run. I plan to upgrade my tv soon to one that has 4 HDMI ports, making this less of an issue.
All in all, the Samsung HW-S700D is a solid soundbar that doesn’t take up a lot of space and provides rich audio. A good choice that doesn’t break the bank!
