[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Audio quality is great and wonderful use that's easy and fast.

I bought this to replace an old 5.1 system. Sound quality is great, The subwoofer is very immersive and powerful, voices are very clear, but the surround sound doesn't really exist. The sound is wide but noticably from the front only. Although it sounded fantastic, the surround sound was a down grade from my old system. However with the optional 9500 rear speakers the surround sound is transformed. All the sounds coming from the rear that were previously missed are there. The sound is more immersive and feels like it's coming from all around. That's for music as well as movies. Atmos however still isnt great in my opinion. At best sound feels like it's coming from the top of the walls. Theres no optional ceiling speakers to improve. Also the qsymphony is hardly a symphony. Often it comes as an echo esp for higher pitched nose and voices. The sound isn't clean but sounds busy since the speakers aren't timed. Probably because tv sound has to come from behind the tv and takes longer to arrive. Only background sounds from battle/war scenes sound better or more powerful since it's just noise. Qsymphony also turns itself off after switching between modes. It's the biggest disappointment of the bar and I'd sooner just leave it off. The other disappoinment is use with Xbox. Sound delay with games when Xbox is connected to the s95b Samsung tv and bar connected to earc. The only way to fix it was too connect Xbox to the HDMI on the bar and tv to bar HDMI out. Good that it had this feature. But even then it missed a lot of sound in Dolby Atmos and had to switch the Xbox to dtsx to get voices and certain sounds. Took some time to get to figure out. Overall with the rear speakers it's an excellent system and big improvement over my old 5.1 1000w system from 2007.

I bought this soundbar a few months ago now after having purchased a Samsung QN95B TV. Sound on the QN95B is awful (take note Samsung). Even under minimal bass the back panel of the QN95B vibrates like its going to fall off, its a shocker, so I took the plunge and went with a slimline soundbar to pipe the audio through. Initially when I plugged this in, I was unimpressed, the sound was quite flat, quite muted, however over the last couple of months, this soundbar has really come into its own sonically. At this point I absolutely love it. It provides real clarity to dialogue yet it can really pump out thumping bass if you need it to. It comes with a separate remote which is a bonus as you can change the bass on the fly as well as the sound mode. It integrates well with the TV remote also. Things to note: - This thing win any awards for its musical prowess. - I dont hear much difference in sounds modes. May just be me, but they all sound pretty similar - Dolby Atmos isnt strong For the money however, I am really quite happy with it. As my first foray into TV soundbars I happy I made a decent choice in what is a really crowded market
