I just bought one last week. I thought the overall sound was weak; then I set it to adaptive sound and it started to adjust itself to whatever I watch. Now the bass and overall sound is so powerful; I have to lower it down. I love ❤️ this soundbar.
Would you suggest this or the HW-B450/XL with Dolby Atmos? I don't really want a home theatre but wouldn't mind a good screening once in a while. The room is around 160 sq. Ft.
I have the HW-B550 but I don’t have the night mode or voice enhancement modes - how come? My neighbor has the same model and neither does he - so I think you are showing a different model in your video?
I was looking at the hw c43 and this & I believe this would be a better choice, don’t get me wrong I think the c43 is still good but it all comes down to whether you not want to spend a lil extra for a sleeker modern & modern sound with a kick. So thank you bro for doin a review
@josipbulat3261 You will likely not be able to tell any difference in the audio quality, but we recommend using the ARC with this one so you can also utilize the HDMI input on the soundbar in case you need to hook up another HDMI source.
@@abtelectronicscan you explain why 2 HDMI ports on the bar. 1 in 1 out. So do I need 2 HDMI cables for the bar and also connect into 2 HDMI ports on my tv. I’m sorry if this is a stupid question but I’m 63 not tech savvy and I’m really hard of hearing. Help me.
@@blueyedmedic911 use the HDMI arc for sound bar connection to TV. Then other HDMI's can be used for roku, firestick or others. Everything going thru your tv first gets channeled to the sound bar using the HDMI arc.
@Ragatokk Here are some recommendations for the different modes: - SURROUND SOUND Provides a wider sound field than standard (good for when you're watching movies or TV shows) - BASS BOOST Sound field mode with emphasis on bass sound (good for listening to music) - GAME Provides stereoscopic sound to immerse you in the action while gaming (good to use while gaming through a console, like PS5 or Xbox) - ADAPTIVE Analyzes the content in real time and automatically provides an optimal sound field based on the characteristics of the content (does the thinking for you, good to use for anything you might listen to) - DTS VIRTUAL:X Immersive 3D sound from any content (good if you're looking for simulated height effects, like for movies and shows) - STANDARD Outputs the original sound (can be used for anything, no additional processing added to audio) Because sound can be subjective we also encourage our customers to give them all a try to see what sounds best to them.

@Andhika Wira Lesmana The Samsung B650 is 3.1 channels while the HTS400 is only 2.1. Having that dedicated center channel on the Samsung helps make dialog easier to hear and provides a better overall experience. The Sony is still good for a smaller soundbar, but the Samsung would be the better of these two. Thanks for watching!
Hi i have the same soundbar can you please help me with when i long press on the settings button can see the different numbers of kHz what is this setting for and how to use it pls 🙏 thanks
So I just got this today, and I cant decide which audio connection to use with my LG tv, HDMI or optical, with optical I can have tv speakers also on so I get more mid range, with HDMI I get good quality but no tv speakers, any suggestions ?
@James Jordan Yes, all the Samsung subwoofers connect through bluetooth. We don't carry any soundbars that come with wired subwoofers, but there are options available that allow you to connect your own wired sub, like this one from Klipsch: bit.ly/3fT4vNt
@Eugel Xhako Yes, this will work with the SWA9200S surround speakers. Here's a link to our latest pricing: www.abt.com/Samsung-SWA-9200S-Wireless-Rear-Speaker-kits-2022-SWA9200SZA/p/177614.html
Is there a list of HDMI ARC features? Only ARC benefits I’ve noticed is the mute button, and EQ settings from the TV. I assumed the play button would pause my RUclips on my Samsung smart tv!
Which one has beter bass? This one. Or the Jbl deep bass MK2? Because the Jbl sub is about 200 rms power en Samsung 250 rms power ? So I may think the Samsung is the winner but i looking for the best sub with low frequency response.
I have the same sound bar but I don't see the night mode and voice enhance mode. Is there some variant of these speakers or they sent me the wrong soundbar?
@wawan setyawan It doesn't look like the HWT420 is available in the US so we don't have a way of testing it. We were very happy with the quality on the HWB550 though. Thanks for watching!
Hi, sir. I have a question. 'Cause I'm planning to buy a soundbar this coming Christmas. Is B550 really a DTS Virtual: X? And do I really buy a disc that has DTS Virtual: X support or it is compatible in any movie files or disc that has 7.1 and 5.1 audio? Thank you
@Christian Bacay Yes, the B550 does have DTS Virtual:X built in. You don't need to play something mastered in DTS:X for it to work, but it will sound better if you do. Anything you play back through the VIrtual:X mode will have some virtual height added to the audio.
@Christian Bacay The maximum the B550 supports is Dolby/DTS 2 channel. To get more you'll need to use the HWB650 soundbar. That one can decode 5.1, but the full experience requires the SWA9200 surround speakers: bit.ly/3h4LOae
@sarojlenka5904 It depends on what you prioritize. If you want deeper bass, the B550 would be the way to go. If you like more defined dialog then the S61B (or S60B) would be a better choice. If you need any assistance picking one out please give our experts a call at 800-860-3736. They can also tell you about any promotions we have going on that can't be advertised online.
@marcoantoniomedinaarellano837 The Samsung is going to have more impactful bass. You may also want to check out the HWB650 model from Samsung, it adds a dedicated center channel and it's on sale right now for just a little more than the 550. Here's a link so you can see more details: www.abt.com/Samsung-HW-B650-ZA-3.1-Channel-Soundbar-With-Dolby-5.1-DTS-Virtual-X-2022-HWB650ZA/p/176505.html
@davidvargasreyes6745 Those last two digits in the model number of these soundbars indicate what country they are made for. ZA = United States ZC = Chile ZX = Mexico
@bitanbiswas694 You can't really increase just the dialog, but you can try using the Voice Enhance feature to help make it stand out more. You can access the setting using the Sound Control button on the remote and then using the up and down buttons to turn the feature on and off.
@user-rb6sb4se5y No, this model does not support Q Symphony.

@wikusherbst5834 The HWB550 has an HDMI input and output so you can hook your BluRay player up to the soundbar's input, then run another HDMI cable from the Output on the soundbar to an HDMI input on your TV. This will let you hear the sound through the soundbar and see the video on the TV.
@aidendavis3086 It looks like that is a model that is available in the UK. We don't have access to it here in the US, but the specs we were able to find look almost identical between the two models.
@user-xh5xi7ym3m Bass is good on the HWB series systems. It's not overpowering, but you can definitely feel it. The HWB550 would pair well with a TU7000 or AU8000 series Samsung TV.
@user-xh5xi7ym3m The HWB550 provides decent bass for watching movies and listening to most music, but if you're looking for a lot of bass you'll want to look at something like this one from Klipsch: bit.ly/3I8qYSp Bigger, more powerful subwoofer with this one that will produce better bass.
@Juan David The A650 from 2021 is almost identical to the B650 from 2022. The only noticeable difference is in the design. You likely wouldn't hear any difference in sound quality, and the feature set is exactly the same.
