Lena 3/18/2022

I bought this sounds bar a little over a month ago, Samsung had a nice going for the last year's models, and I'm so happy I did! Our new Samsung QLED Tv had a decent sound, but after installing the new sound bar and subwoofer we were completely blown away with the quality of sound. It's soft and clear, the subwoofer's power is adjustable so everyone can tune both speakers to their preferences. I believe this accessory is a must for any compatible TV.

Fat_Ninja_Dad 3/16/2022

I bought this soundbar about four months ago and I absolutely love it. Installation was easy, took about 10 minutes to setup. Looks great sitting on my mantle under the TV. It connected to my Samsung tv and works with the Samsung TV remote, so no more having to keep track of two different remotes. The sound quality is awesome, and crystal clear.

We love that is has less wiring and is easy to install and use. You can tell they used nice ,heavy duty quality materials to make it as well. And to top it all out go It looks ever better!

Got this 100 dollars off 389. Original 179 sale. I had a lower model with no digital virtual x sound I bought 2 weeks prior at Walmart and took it back to Walmart no fuss refund and was so happy to upgrade for the same price. I'm so thankful for Samsung and Walmart. I'm so so happy with it

Bought a Sony off the floor model at Best Buy. Came without remote and accessories. Brought it back and went onto Samsung website to view pricing points and found 2021 model $100 cheaper and brand new. Great bass and treble. Not pitchy and great surround sound.

Honestly I doubted this guy at first since it's a lower end model from Samsung. But this thing absolutely thumps. I drove up in the driveway the other day and I heard the base from outside. My girlfriend was playing music while she cleaned was having a blast! The sound effects are absolutely amazing and clear. I love this guy best Christmas gift 2021!

Extremely Surprised

JustJay 1/21/2022

I bought this 2 weeks before Christmas. It was set up about a week ago with a Samsung flat screen I have. It pleasantly surprised me with the sound. For a cheaper sound bar it really kicks with clarity and the bass is pretty decent as well with the included subwoofer.I put this in my bedroom which is on the smaller side. The clarity of people talking is Crisp also.I have this connected via a hdmi cable with eARC. The virtual x feature is very good and really fills the room as if your in a theatre setting. If this sounds good for a small bedroom I can only imagine what the more expensive offerings offer. Samsung offers a great product at a good price. Samsung products in general are good. One satisfied customer here!! Buy this you won't be disappointed.

Good device for the price range

Bman 1/20/2022

The HW-A550 was a good choice for the price range. It allows for the rear speaker kit if I later decide to upgrade to a more typical 5.1 setup. I wanted a dedicated center channel, but that usually adds width to any soundbars on the market. That extra width would have made them too long for the entertainment center we have currently. Overall, the product is a great fit when looking for something to add better sound and more bass to any modern display that would typically lack the sound range that bigger speakers will have.
