Samsung Series 6 HW-K651

Have been using this for about a year now. Very happy with the way it has handled music, movies and television (Netflix, Stan too). The bass is enough to rattle a few fittings in the bathroom. I would definitely recommend to pay a little more for the 3.1 channels, we have never heard it distort and the voice clarity is spot on.
Sometimes it does not turn on with the TV (also a Samsung), whether it's connected via Sound Connect or the ARC. Also occasionally the subwoofer does not turn on even though the sound bar has, so requires the sound bar...

Purchased this soundbar to go with a Samsung Smart TV . It Looks great and is not bulky like traditional surround sound systems. It takes up much less room and can be wallmounted under the tv to save even more space. It's easy to use, just plug in the wall socket and wirelessly link to your tv, there is Bluetooth, tv and aux functions- you just scroll through and select which one you want to use. No more complicated than that . The Bluetooth function is easy to use and you can play your compatible playlists quickly and easily through the...
Read more soundbar, The sound is fantastic when watching movies /tv etc but in my opinion not as good when compared with Bose when playing music . The subwoofer is also wireless so you can place it anywhere in the room to suit as it does not have to be connected to the tv, you just need PowerPoint . These are still quite big in size so this option is handy if you want a more streamlined look. Very well priced compared to other options for speakers for home theatre and you can add more wireless speakers to get multi room sound . Happy with purchase, it looks great too but for music still prefer to use my Bose speakers.

My HW-K651 was purchased for $398 in The Good Guys December sale (RRP $799) and it can be found online from around $530. It comes in silver only while many other soundbars give a choice of at least silver or black. A shame, as my TV and wall-paper are black. The box is L-shaped and weighs 12kg so don't plan on carrying it too far.
Both soundbar and sub-woofer must each be connected to 240V power but otherwise the setup can be wireless. The soundbar can be wall-mounted and comes with custom made brackets but not screws (which depend on yo...
Read moreur wall material). The soundbar is 40" long so will be wider than any TV with less than a 46" screen. The HW-K651 can connect to the TV by TV Sound Connect (Samsung TVs only) which uses Bluetooth, by HDMI cable (not supplied) or by optical cable (supplied). It has a cute but clear LED display that lights up behind the grille when making changes via the remote control. Having switched the system on, it quickly found my home network and connected (once given the password). It immediately updated its software. I was able to set my Samsung Series 6 TV to connect to the soundbar automatically and it now does this after about 10 seconds every time the TV is turned on. There is a brief pause while the TV sound stops and then the soundbar kicks in. The improvement is sound quality is quite marked in flipping from TV to soundbar. This automatic connection was lost when I turned both TV and soundbar off at the wall for a few days and had to be set up again through the TV menu. However, if both are left on standby, it works without human intervention, switching itself to standby a minute or so after the TV is turned off. There is a Samsung app for Android and iOS that allows streaming audio from a phone/tablet (without the TV) and it can also stream audio from network attached devices like computers, NAS boxes, even cloud storage over Wi-fi. Designed for Samsung Series 8 and 9 TVs, the HW-K651 nevertheless teams well with my Series 6 Samsung TV and (minus TV Sound Connect) should work with any modern TV.

Know better, choose better.
I use it with our TV connected via Optical lead. Also use it as well with iPhone and iPad. Easy to connect soundbar via bluetooth or wi-fi to iPhone or iPad and stream music from Pandora or Tunein radio. Sound is great and has bass/treble controls. It works well and reasonably priced.

The sound is okay - it is not on the same level as the Bose Acoustimass - that's what you get with the price tag. The trebles are good, the bass is okay.
Occasionally the wireless subwoofer does not turn on together with the sound bar. We have it connected via HDMI with HDMI-CEC (AnyNet+) to our Samsung Series 8 TV. We've noticed that using the Bluetooth TV Connect can sometimes result in inconsistent audio or artifacts in the audio. We've also noticed that it sometimes fails to turn on with the TV (while connected with HDMI).
One quirk w...
Read morehich I have found if I pause a movie too long on our Samsung KS8000 TV, the sound bar has a habit of turning off onto standby. While this soundbar does have wireless rear expansion; it does not work with the Samsung SWA-8000S. After discussion with a Samsung representative, I have no choice but to return the SWA-8000S for a refund. We finally got around to buying two Radiant 360 R1 (WAM1500) speakers (they were on sale for half price) and they can only act as very soft and very quiet surround speakers. I've been on the phone to Samsung Support for over 1 hour, trying to debug why the speakers are very quiet. I am using a DTS 5.1/7.1.4 test video from DTS Demo Trailers to verify the 5.1 setup; and am awaiting a firmware update to normalise the power distribution. With this in mind, it is a great speaker - but do not expect it to be anything more than a 3.1 sound system.
