HW-Q6CB/ZA
Samsung: always a decent…

Foremost, I have owned a couple of different soundbar options and have generally been underwhelmed. About eight years ago I simply switched to powered speakers, which provided great sound. When my T and V powered speakers died, I needed a solution, fast. The Insiders program offered the HW-Q6CB/ZA which is a basic 3.1 system for a decent price. In short, this Samsung 3.1 offers great value for the quality. As a soundbar-- the sound is most important-- beyond the size or shape or color or remote type. Sound is everything. To be sure, my powered speakers provided superior sound for music from Tidal or even Spotify. But where the Samsung shines is for just plain old TV watching-- which is 99% of my total use. The midrange for voice is solid but there is enough bass and high-end punch when needed for action movies. One frustration with my powered speakers is that I needed to tune the sound for each type of viewing-- news and movies were always vastly different and required fine-tuning. This Samsung bar is nearly perfect for all type of sound for all types of viewing and that means less futzing and more enjoyment when my wife and I start watching whatever we pick. I was a little challenged in getting the remote speaker to connect to the bar-- but that was on me. Once the connection was made, we have not had a single issue-- even after losing power a couple of times. The remote is small and easy to operate-- with quick access to tuning bass right next to the volume control. Using the optical link to my TV made set-up fast and painless. The LED display is readable from 12 feet way, which enables me to reset the volume when selecting a channel or show to watch. Probably the nicest thing about the sound output is that it is neutral and not enhanced with artificial highs and lows like one major maker is known for doing in their entire product line. Finally, the quality of the build of the Samsung is consistent with my other Samsung products-- headphones, tablet, and our old-but-working DVD player. Samsung never disappoints.
