SAMSUNG 3.0ch All-in-One Soundbar 2022

I wanted to find something compact yet powerful enough to hear music/movies from my 32-inch Smart monitor which I just purchased. Let’s face it – smart monitors (or TVs) have miserable sounds with tiny sounds coming from behind or underneath the monitor. Then I came across this product and it has been an awesome experience so far. What I really liked about these things:

1. Design – Very sleek, minimalist design which compliments any living space. Its slim profile fits perfectly under the monitor ( I have a 32-inch smart monitor) making it an ideal choice for smaller rooms or home office. But don’t let this size fool you – this soundbar packs a punch.
2. Key Features –
*Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support: cinematic sound with virtual Dolby Atoms and DTS:X. Whether you are watching movies or listening to music, the S60B delivers expansive surround sound.
*Wireless Spatial Audio – If you own a compatible Samsung TV or Smaart PC monitor (from 2022 or newer), you are in for a treat. You can wirelessly connect the soundbar to your TV/monitor without any cables!
*Control options – Use the SmartThings app for easy setup and control. Plus, enjoy voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant.
3. Sound quality – It impressed me with its neutral sound profile. Voices and lead instruments come through crystal clear. With 5.0 channel surround sound, it’s perfect for movie nights and music sessions. While some audiophiles might notice minor shortcomings, the overall experience is fantastic for a smart PC monitor!

Pros:
*Big Sound – Don’t let the size fool you.
*Virtual Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
*Wireless connectivity: Wireless Dolby Atmos set up with Samsung TVs, Spotify connect, and Apple Air Play, and more.

Cons:
*Limited Dynamic Range and Bass: You can always connect a subwoofer if you want more bass.
*Only one HDMI port (no eARC)
*Wireless Dolby Atmos connection restricted to Samsung TVs.

Verdict:
I think this product strikes a balance between performance and affordability. If you are part of the Samsung ecosystem, this soundbar is a no-brainer. For others, it’s still an excellent choice, offering precise sound and lots of features – **All at a great price ( now it’s down to less than $230). If anyone cross-checking with Sonos Ray/Beam 2 or Bose 500 soundbar, this S60B is worth comparing for your smart investment.

The S60D works fine on non-Samsung TV’s, eARC didn’t have any trouble with an LG C3 and the sync is fine. My intended use for this is a small bedroom TV, where I wanted better dialog clarity, not more volume. The “adaptive” sound setting seems quite good so I just leave it on that. All audio enhancements I leave off, but the “night mode” setting is effective at knocking down the bass that would generate some noise through an interior wall. Considering the low price, dedicated center channel, and overall audio quality, I’m happy with it.

There’s not a lot of bass or left/right separation, just due to the small physical dimensions of the product, but for me these are essentially pros, not cons.

The one complaint I do have is there’s no numerical indicator for the settings, so you can adjust volume, treble/bass, channel levels, and there’s a little strip of led lights in the grill that do left/right patterns to show the direction, but you have no idea what you’re adjusting them to, just up or down. Maybe the app provides this functionality, but I’m just using the remote.

Se escucha muy bien

I must say first off, I bought this for my projector and tv and was not really impressed with the sound especially the voice enhancement feature or the bass. I used the small manual they send with it, and it really doesn’t tell you much about the soundbar just basically how to set it up and what the buttons do but no info other than that and I was very discouraged and then I downloaded the online full manual and man what a difference that made.
The online manual shows you what all and how to make more adjustments than you can imagine and after I did them it sounds like a totally different soundbar.
For you that don’t know it has a small equalizer, but it only works in standard mode, and it really increases voice enhancements and overall sound in standard mode.
This Samsung HW-S60B sound bar is much better than the Bose TV Soundbar I had before I purchased this one and never was satisfied with the sound of the unit and it had very few adjustments and voice enhancements wasn’t that good to me and then it just stopped working 27 days after purchase, so I returned it and very glad it did because this one is much better to me. I have always loved Boss products but seems like they have really cut back on what got them to where they are, Quality.
Not sure about the low reviews but just maybe some have not downloaded the full manual and don’t realize all the different adjustments that you can make to your liking on this bar.
You will not get the thumping bass out of this soundbar as you will not out of any especially in this price range without adding a subwoofer, but the bass is really good much better that a tv for a small soundbar, and the volume is rated at 120 watts and is very clear no matter how loud you play it.
The remote works very good and feels of quality as any Samsung product I have from them. It also has control buttons on the unit if the remote goes out for some reason, the Boss didn’t have any other way to control it.
Yes, I am much happier with this Samsung soundbar, it really surprised me, but I don’t know why because Samsung has really become a leader in innovation and quality.
Now I must tell you the only subwoofer it will connect to is a Samsung subwoofer SWA-W510 per Bluetooth and it is small and around $300.00. But I also have a sound system with a subwoofer and this bar pairs very well with my system making a huge difference in its all around sound.
