Samsung HW-F355 2.1 Channel 120 Watt Wired Audio Soundbar (2014 Model)

UPDATE:well it is now 2 days later after install and I am HAPPIER than ever..Just in case you are wondering as I was.. I have a ROKU stick installed in the back of my tv. My TV is also a SMART tv w lots of apps.. with the OPTICAL cable install directly into the tv.. every thing WORKS>>>>>>>.. and works WELL...... I am so tickled than ever.SO HAPPY with this purchase !!!.................................................................................................................................I have been wanting to get a sound bar to improve my Samsung TV viewing.. I tried another brand sound bar, Vizio .. and was very disappointed and returned it. So I was pretty certain I knew what I wanted in a sound bar from that bad experience..One thing I found out was that you need a method to VIEW the increase or decrease in volume as well as a easy method to SEE how you have the unit set re. sound.. i.e Movie, Music, News, Games.. etc.......Well I found this HW-F355 , is a great unit that does that and MORE.. it even includes a Bluetooth connection so I can stream music from my tablet or phone.SET up right out of the box( which is usually the nightmare process most purchasers dread ) was SOOOOOOOOOO EASY even if you hardly read the direction you would get it right.. Now I did include the purchase of an Optical cable.. ( IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE BOX) so it is one simple connection between the bar and the TV........ plug in subwoofer to the unit ... turn on the power.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Viola.. SOUND, sweet sweet SOUND>>>>>>>> and all the volume you could want.Now I tried out the various options of music, news, cinema........... EASY to see on the sound bar.. and with simple push of the button.chg to what ever your personal preference for EACH show. This way you get to experience the sound you want for the game or chg it to the evening NEWS or chg again for the Movie. Can't be easier.There are adjustments you can make to the subwoofer which also is simple to do with clearly labeled buttons.Other adjustments are Smart Volume to regulate drastic sound changes when you go from station to stationIt even has a 3D SOUND EFFECT option...... to add more depth to the sounds..If you have questions re this unit check out the User Manual to see how simple this whole set up will be for you. OR watch this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OX7KK4P8bQHonestly at this price point there isn't a better option for a sound bar IN MY OPINION> Esp.if you have a Samsung TV .But this worked on my Sharp tv as well .I am REALLY REALLY IMPRESSED.. I was considering a higher priced model but am glad I went with this one..It does exactly what I wanted and NO HEADACHE INSTALL

This is a must for a TV.. I Have a 32 inch Samsung Smart TV and set this up on top of the TV using mounting brackets. Easy I'm 63 years old and female.. I plugged it in using the digital optical cord but could not get it to work with my Samsung Smart TV remote.. but I Have a medium sized bedroom I set this up in and its more than suitable for it .. Love the sound even though my Samsung TV came with excellent sound I wanted better sound like I get in my living room with my 55 in Samsung hooked up to a Bose surround sound system.. and I got it .. fills the room nicely I like bass so I Have it turned up to the max .. perfect for me I also love the 3D effect you can get out of it .. Have not hooked it up via Bluetooth to my iPhone yet but sure that will work . It does not come with the Optical cord so you should buy it when you go to check out but they are not to expensive it you get the one from Amazon it works great.. This is a steal for the price on it ..and the Samsung quality you get ... it's just a little longer than my 32 inch TV but not too long and not so heavy as one I bought and tried to mount on top of the TV it's the only way I can mount it in my bedroom .. its really easy to set up like I said I'm a 63 year old grandma and I did it in no time without hardly looking at the instruction's it's was very intuitive .. The remote is great it does everything but bring up the TV guide so you can search channels.. that's my only complaint.. I do not mind having to use the two remotes as for me I get the sound set up in my bedroom and it stays that way usually. The smart sound is great it keeps it from going from soft to a loud eardrum busting volume when you change the channel for something else comes on TV.. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone looking for better to excellent sound on their TV.. I plan on calling Samsung to figure out how to get the Volume to work on my Samsung remote without switching remotes.. I hear it's possible but have not been able to get it to do that yet.. But this still gets five stars in my book .. Love the Subwoffer it comes in the just the right size and the sound is great .. LOVE IT Pleased grandma
