Samsung - 2.0-Channel Soundbar with Digital Amplifier - Black

I got a Samsung smart tv for Christmas a couple years ago and bought this soundbar to go with it. At first I had it connected to the tv with the HDMI cord and a friend with some AV experience suggested I find the optical cord that came with it instead. OMG. What a huge difference! The sound is so much clearer (not that it was bad before) and it's like nothing I've ever owned before. I use the soundbar for tv sound and I also use it to bluetooth my music when I'm in the house cleaning or just in a mood for some good loud tunes. I'm very happy two years later with my purchase and I've not had one problem or complaint about this product. Great job Samsung!

https://www.samsung.com/us/televisions-home-theater/home-theater/sound-bars/hw-n400--tv-mate--soundbar-hw-n400-za/ this link is very misleading because there are no subwoofers compatible with the product hw-n400. even after purchasing the rear speaker system swa-8600 the sound still needed more bass, but samsung customer service confirmed there is no subwoofer that will connect to either the soundbar or rear speaker system. sound is ok, but i am disappointed it cannot be enhanced by adding a subwoofer. i am very surprised samsung would produce and sell a sound system with no subwoofer capability for customers who desire the added bass tones.

easy installation, and worked good for the first 6 months, then started losing connection when wired with the optical cable. had to pair it with the samsung tv several times.. did this for a couple of months, so decided to try the hdmi connection which worked great for about 10 days, then sound stopped working and i was getting a "not available" when trying to run setup on the tv.. after multiple times of trying to get it to work again, just decided to trash it and get another brand.. there was a code upgrade that was suppose to fix the intermittent dropping off of the sound bar, but the usb port seemed to be defective as i couldn't get the usb cable plugged in to it.. so not too impressed with this..

this thing has been bad since day one i kept hoping that i could find a way to hear the upper tones but it's so bassy and i can't find a way to hear dialogue better. bass has toggle adjustment and i can't figure out how to adjust the treble at all even though you can pull it up in a menu, i don't know which button makes it go up and down i haven't found anything that works yet.

Very happy with our purchase. We were looking for something simple that looked good and went along with our Samsung 43 inch TV. Mounting to the wall was easy enough. I used wall anchors because the studs were not in the correct location.
