Samsung 5.0Ch Soundbar 2021 Black - HW-S60A/ZN

Expected more from the sound. But integration with Samsung TV is great and works 95% of the time as advertised

Facile à installer, excellent son et très bon rapport qualité prix.

Klang:Mir am wichtigsten: Der Sound, den die HW-S60A liefert, ist sehr gut. Und die Sprachwiedergabe ist sehr qualitätvoll, was vor allem bei textlastigen Sendungen/Filmen ein klares Plus ist.Verarbeitung:Insgesamt ordentlich. Aber der Stoffbezug der Soundbar ist ein Staubfänger.Einrichtung/Installation:War bei mir etwas mühsam. Musste mehrfach versuchen, die Soundbar zum Laufen zu bringen. Zumal sie sich nicht mit meiner Fritzbox 7590, die direkt daneben steht, verträgt. Auch der Support von Samsung konnte mir da nicht weiterhelfen. Über einen devolo-Adapter ein Zimmer weiter funktionierte dann die Einrichtung/Anbindung ans Netz. Keine Ahnung, wieso Samsung nicht in der Lage ist, eine Fritzbox zu unterstützen?!Was wirklich nervt:Man kann optional "Audio-Feedback" nutzen. Eigentlich eine sehr gute Sache, weil einem damit über eine Stimme z.B. kurz mitgeteilt wird, welchen Wiedergabemodus (Musik, Sprache) man gerade nutzt etc. Das erleichtert die Nutzung der Fernbedienung. Allerdings ist die Lautstärke für das Audio-Feedback nicht separat einstellbar (wurde auch vom Samsung-Support auf meine Rückfrage hin bestätigt). Das heißt, wenn man einen Actionfilm in großer Lautstärke ansieht und einen anderen Modus einstellt, erhält man bei aktiviertem "Audio-Feedback" eine Rückmeldung in einer Lautstärke, die einen fast vom Sessel weht. Ich hab die eigentlich nützliche, aber schlecht umgesetzte Funktion daher deaktiviert, um nicht ungewollt abzuheben.

It took more time than I anticipated to get the speaker to work. I've never had any luck with soundbars of any brand. But, with some perseverance, and sheer determination I conquered my quest. Soundbar is working well with the new TV and is even loud enough for a deaf old Veteran like me to hear without blasting other family members out of the room.

This samsung soundbar HW-S60A is smaller compare to other soundbar and this has more speakers than the usual soundbar.5 channels including dedicated center speaker for voices when watching TV and movies.I find this soundbar to be great for what I want. This is perfect for rooms and small living room.The base is good enough but not explosive, depending on the music, the bass will be much more present.The details that this soundbar is great because I can hear additional instruments in music and hear outside noises when watching movies. This is due to the 5 channels adding additional imagery and wider sound.Here are my recommendations.There is no sound mode level indiciator (treble,bass, and etc) but I counted 12 levels.I would put treble at zero or level 1 and put bass on level 5 or 6 depending on your preference.Also, keep it at adaptive sound for brighter sound and better clarity. Adaptive sound is great that will automatically switch setting if it detects, movies, music or TV.Positive1. When going through, sound mode, there is a voice that will tell you if it's treble or bass, which is great so no need to look at the soundbar.2. Great sound and clarity due to more than just 3 speakers.3. Good enough bass.4. Small size5. Clear and concise remoteNegative1. No levels or indicator for volume and settings.2. if you need more bass then this will not please you but it can be connected to a samsung subwoofer wireless.3. The soundbar is priced fair at $300 but do not buy it more than that.Overall, this soundbar brings clarity, details and a wide sound for rooms and small living room. While it lacks explosive bass, it makes up by being smaller and engaging sound due to the multiple sest of speakers in the soundbar.

This will be my last purchase from Samsung, but that may not be a good indicator of this product's worth. Hear me out. This year, I've upgraded all of my Samsung devices; TV, phone, soundbar etc. And with all of them, the device has been relatively good with a few bugs and tech support hiccups. The main reason I'm done with Samsung is their awful customer service. I ordered this soundbar twice from Samsung's direct website and was sent the wrong item both times and it was because of the customer service employees I spoke to who gave me bad information and made promises that they didn't keep, so I eventually just bought it from here on Amazon. Likewise, any technical support issue I've had with them has been much much much more difficult than it needs to be. I hate to be that guy, but it's just very evident that they don't speak English very well. There's a definite language barrier and it shows.So here's the kicker though, after all of that hassle Samsung customer service put me through and the various technical issues that have been an enormous pain in the neck, I still was able to look at the specs of this device and make an objective judgment that this was a good value for the money. It was $199.00 for a 5.0 Ch speaker with side tweeters, Bluetooth and wifi connectivity, and a built in Alexa assistant. You're just not going to find a deal like that from a reputable manufacturer very often. And while I'm definitely buying a Sony tv next time and an iPhone for my next upgrades, I don't know that I'll ever need to replace this soundbar because it's everything I need. The sound is awesome for just a standalone soundbar and it gets very loud without sacrificing audio quality. It's also very sleek and modern and takes up much less space than our old 2.0 Ch speaker. The punch that this soundbar packs is very good for its size and it delivers just about as well as I'd hoped.So one caveat is that I had a difficult time setting up the built in Alexa and the tech support was terrible once again, but I eventually figured it out on my own. I had to unplug the soundbar and install a firmware update for it in the smart things app. So once again, I'd say that the specs of this device are just a great deal for next to $200, but you're buying from a company that doesn't care enough about your needs to provide decent customer service and tech support. That could lead to headaches like buying a product 3 times from 2 different websites until you get the right one or being on the phone for 2 hours to fix a 5 minute problem etc. So that's what you've gotta judge for yourself. Is it worth the risk and potential headache? In the case of this particular device, I'd argue that it is as long as the price is right. 👍
