Samsung B-Series Soundbar HW B400F 2.0 ch Soundbar with Built in Subwoofer (2025 Model) One Remote Control, Surround Sound Expansion, Voice Enhance Mode

I recently purchased a Samsung TV and the sound was located on the back of the TV, meaning that it didn't project as clearly and we needed to turn the volume louder to hear basic dialogue. I've researched some budget-friendly speakers and this one had the best reviews for the price. I got it while it was on sale and assembly was easy. I had to change a few TV settings but after setting it up, I watched Stranger Things to test the base and let me tell you... it was incredible. The whole living room shook from the base, you hear bangs, thumps, rumbles, etc. You could adjust the base on 5 settings. I keep it at 1 so I could hear and feel the bass without it scaring the dogs. The connectivity is good and it fits on my TV. Definitely measure it though since it is long, unless you're going to hang it on a wall. The overall quality is amazing. Overall, this purchase was an absolute game changer. It turned my living room into a movie theater for a cheaper cost. My living room isn't that big, so one bass is perfectly fine... may be more than enough honestly. I definitely recommend it! Note: I got the HW-B750D model.

Works great! Very sleek look, the speakers aren't super obvious but have good sound. Bluetooth connection picked up super quick, both with the subwoofer and to my phone/TV.

I’ve since ordered a second one for basement tv. It’s great for simple setup and syncs with zero problems. I frequently use Bluetooth from my phone for music as well* Sounds really good. Keep eye on price history seems to fluctuate a bit. Well worth the money*

Easy to hook up to tv even with no instructions in the box. Fits snugly under the edge of our 65” Vizio. The sound is good but the “woofer” button doesn’t seem to do anything for the bass. There isn’t an onscreen menu for when or what a button is doing. We did find a manual online through a search of the model. We followed instructions online for setting the soundbar up through our tv settings, so we can control it with one remote. There’s no sound from the soundbar when we do this. So we are working with two remotes.

A Samsung Soundbar is a compact, elongated audio system that enhances TV sound, offering surround sound with technologies such as Dolby Atmos and DTS, Q-Symphony TV sync, integrated voice assistants (Alexa/Bixby), Bluetooth/Wi-Fi connectivity and adaptive sound modes, all designed for an immersive home theater experience, from budget options with built-in subwoofer to premium systems with rear speakers and above.

The Samsung B-Series soundbar is a great budget-friendly option that noticeably improves TV audio. It delivers clear dialogue, balanced sound, and decent bass for its size, making movies, shows, and music more enjoyable than built-in TV speakers. Setup is quick and easy, and the design is sleek enough to fit most spaces. While it doesn’t offer the deep surround experience of higher-end models, it performs well for everyday use and offers good value for the price

Zero issues so far. Sounds great in a small-ish room, and I keep the volume pretty low. It does still sound great at higher volumes, though. The subwoofer works great and connects flawlessly. When plugged into a modern Samsung TV it's immediately recognized. One thing to be aware of is that there is no HDMI input so you have to use either the optical jack or Bluetooth, but both sound fine.

Let me start with the fact that both the sound bar and the subwoofer are not completely WIRELESS as claimed by Samsung and the website description here on Amazon. Both the sound bar and the subwoofer come with a cable that needs to be plugged to an electrical outlet. The sound bar has to be connected to the tv monitor using a HDMI cable that's not supplied by Samsung. The sound bar doesn't support Wi-Fi therefore the need for the cable. Also, by not supporting Wi-Fi it can't be added to the Samsung SmartThings app. The HDMI cable plugs to the TV HDMI PORT 2 on the back of the tv monitor and then to the HDMI TO TV (ARC) on the sound bar. None of these is explained in the so called Simple User Guide that comes with the unit, so it makes it very frustrating to figure out and not user friendly. The only thing that's wireless about the system is that the subwoofer connects to the sound bar using Bluetooth. On the positive side is that the sound is of very good quality, crisp and good separation of lows and highs. The subwoofer has a good boom. All sounds are best when playing 4k Blu-ray Discs. So far I'm using the preset factory settings since I haven't figured out how to adjust the bass and treble. I recommend to set the sound bar to SURROUND SOUND using the SOUND MODE button on the remote control and if using rear speakers to set the sound bar to SOUND GROUPING, this increases the sound coming from the rear speakers. This sound bar is only compatible with the Samsung speakers SWA-9250S and not any other brands due to software licensing. Again, none of this is explained on the user guide! The sound bar needs to be turned off after use since it doesn’t shut off automatically. The combination of sound bar and speakers are really designed for a small room. My guess is that I've would have to pay more money for a better sound system. The sound reproduction can never be achieved as when using a stereo system receiver. My hope is that my investment will last me years of enjoyment! Outside some of the frustration of figuring out the proper setup of this unit, I'm pleased and enjoying the surround sound! I hope other buyers do too! I'll be reviewing the performance of the rear speakers separately.
