Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound potentials for movies Looks that the connectivity problems (especially Wi-Fi are solved, smartthings app is finally working. After returning the product a 1st time and the great intervention with clear explenation of customer support I purchased again the item and it is working really great. Clear sound dimensions, movie dialogues superbs and it's impressive in surround mode.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not worth for the money Not at all worth for the money. Sound quality is average. Not able to control (on / off / vol up, down) with my Samsung TV remote. Tried all steps from manual, but no use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointing connection experience SmartThing App was impossible to access even following the nice and supportive Samsung costumer care. This is the only was to connect wi-fi and update software plus eventually add Swa modules. The swa modules compatible are out of market so the potential 5.1 channels are impossible to reach. I returned the product for now

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Doesn't work, bad customer service I bought this a month ago and it has had a problem of switching the source by itself while watching so randomly the sound cuts out or changes and then goes back to how it should be. When it works correctly, it sounds nice, but we deal with this every time we use it. Customer service has failed to help me fix it and I spent a lot of money on a faulty piece of equipment. I will never buy another Samsung product again. Garbage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Impressive I went from a 5.1 amplified component surround sound system to this sound bar and I'm not disappointed. The sound from the bar is impressive, but what's most impressive is the wireless sub. I love that I was able to connect this to my TV via bluetooth to save running another wire.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Immersive sound and excellent clarity The audio engineers at Samsung/Harman Kardon have upped the anti in the Soundbar arena with the deployment of the HW-Q70R. While on the pricey side, the acoustics and immersive sound stage justifies the price tag. Having owned and compared numerous brands of audio equipment, I can unreservedly recommend this Soundbar to anyone who longs dynamic sound with a small speaker footprint.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound; technical issues mainly with HDMI The overall sound of the soundbar is a 5 out of 5. It's very loud and the subwoofer fills the room with awesome bass. The lower rating is due to issues with the HDMI on the soundbar. I have my xbox connected to the soundbar via HDMI and soundbar connected to TV to ARC-HDMI. When I switch my Samsung Q70 tv to "Xbox" the soundbar should switch to HDMI automatically. About half the time it works as it should. The other half the soundbar flashes HDMI and then goes right back to TV-ARC causing the tv to show the "no input found; check device power". When this happens I have to manually switch the soundbar input with remote. Samsung has told me this sounds like a firmware issue that may be corrected in a later update? The other issue is with the HDMI video passthrough. When switching to Xbox; sometimes the soundbar has sound but just a black screen on the tv. I have to switch the input to cable and then back to xbox-HDMI and then the picture comes up as it should. All of the Soundbar issues seem to be related to HDMI. If plug everything into the TV directly and not to the HDMI-In on soundbar, none of these issues happen. The only issue is you don't get the Dolby Atmos unless you plug the component directly into the Soundbar.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sound is good but everything else sucks!! I can't connect to the wifi. I can't connect to the samsung app. I have a samsung MU8000 tv and a samsung connect home pro and the soundbar just will not connect to wifi or the app. Plus I still have to use two remotes to watch tv. One to change inputs and the other to adjust the tv volume. It sucks that a $800.00 soundbar has so many issues

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wish I didn't have to write this. For sound, I'd give it a 3.5-4 star - the bass is great, the sound is pretty good, certainly doesn't compare to a 5.1 system, even though I DO have the rear wireless speakers attached (yes, correctly). It's got a great design and looks good on the tv stand. Where my problem comes in with this unit is the TV ARC connection. I've had multiple soundbars, including the HW-Q60r that I had purchased originally. Then the Q70r went on sale the next day and I exchanged the 60 for the 70. The 60 worked flawlessly with ARC, turned on every time, went to the right input (TV ARC). So, I installed the FIRST Q70r and it would turn on via ARC. However, it would always start at the HDMI source and not recognize ARC until I had to manually switch sources to D.IN/TV ARC. Then it works flawlessly. Turn off the TV, turn it back on, back to HDMI and I have to manually switch it again. By the way, I only have the ARC connected, no other sources. I called Samsung, they said that's not supposed to happen, so I take it back and exchange it for another Q70r. Well, this one won't even turn on via ARC (yes, I have the correct settings on the TV and anynet+ is on. For the price of the soundbar, I shouldn't have to manually change sources each time I turn on the TV. Looks like this one will likely be going back as well, and I'll have to look into other brands that can at least do the basic minimum like find the only active source. Really disappointed in this as I'm typically a Samsung fan. TV is a 80" Sharp Aquos on which all other tested soundbars have worked.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing sound quality! The sound quality on this soundbar blew me away. The music feels so good. The spaciousness of sound is amazing! This soundbar is able to simulate 5.1.2 with just 3.1.2. Obviously, it can't give the feel of an actual discrete 5.1.2 setup, but it does a good job. simple to setup if you follow the manual that comes with it. Update the firmware using Samsung smart things. Looks beautiful, works awesome and feels great. This is an awesome all-rounder setup especially for those who, like me, would like to avoid extra speakers all over the place. Btw there is also an option to buy and connect 2 rear speakers for enhanced Atmos/surround experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good soundbar, great quality, nice shape. I am user since 6 months, with bo bigger issues. It’s hard for me to compare since this is my forst soundbar and I use it with Q70F QLED tv. It works as it should, I also upgraded this set woth satellite speakers - I recommend everyone to do so! One minus - lack or Airplay. Samsung, really? No Airplay? Come on!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A refund would be nice. purchased this soundbar/subwoofer along with a 65” samsung q70 tv. unfortunately after a few months of use the hdmi arc no longer works and the tv no longer sees the soundbar on the arc or via wifi. i have tested several hdmi cables that work with other devices and the tv diagnoses an hdmi cable issue. so the soundbar ir tv are defective. samsung support is unresponsive so far, and difficult to contact.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very impressped with this system i have owned many soundbars and this one is my favorite. i even prefer this over my sonos beam. this soundbar is a beast with bass and it makes action movies and horror films sound incredible. one concern ive i’ve had with other soundbars in the past was vocal clarity getting muffled by sound effects. this is definity not case here. i loved it so much i ended up buying a second set after finding an open box on sale.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great hardware, awful software sounds great - when working. getting there is a major hassle since samsung forces you to download a "smart" things app. overly complex – i don’t want or need my soundbar online. also flawed – 30 minutes of signins and re-downloads to finish. plus not great for privacy, monitoring your watching habits - check the "privacy policy". just let us update firmware via usb, samsung! a question too - what tv mount works for q70 on top of a tv? and what surround mount works for 8500s on ceiling? no info on samsung site or manuals, and soundbar mounting holes are on bottom (most use the back), while 8500s have a cheap looking keyhole instead of proper threaded 1/4" holes. another hassle. good thing sound is best for your buck, or i wouldn't waste time solving their bad design issues.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Problems After a Month I bought the Q70 and rear speakers. I was happy with the performance of the equipment for about a month. I started having problems with an echo, static and the sound breaking up. It became so bad I had to turn off the sound bar and turn on the TV speakers. Sometimes the problem would resolve itself after a few minutes and other times it was more than unacceptable. I returned the equipment to Crutchfield.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sound is good, design seems to be flawed (beware) I have a 75" Q Samsung QLED TV so this sounder paired easily. The issue I am having and will cause me to send this back is as follows: My TV is on a slim mount on the wall. There is a recessed outlet behind the TV where the TV is plugged. Now I need to plug the soundbar into the same outlet. If the adapter was a normal sized one, this could not be a problem. For some unknown reason, Samsung has this HUGE rectangle adapter that needs to be plugged into the wall. In my situation this is just not possible because there is not enough clearance between the TV and the wall (slim mount, you see). I would imagine, most folks with wall mounted TV would have the same issue. The adapter sticks out a good 4 inches from the wall. Why Samsung did not create a low profile adapter is beyond me. It seems that the rest of the system is well designed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrible soundbar I bought the HW-Q70R soundbar with my Q70R QLED 65” TV and it’s never worked correctly. The audio produced through the soundbar is delayed from the tv video. It’s terrible. I even sent the soundbar back to Samsung for maintenance and they reported they found nothing wrong. Great example of not supporting their products. Very expensive and waste of money. Don’t buy it!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from perfect We have this soundbar connected to our 65in Q70 TV what a perfect match sound is top notch for a soundbar ! Movies sound fantastic witch is what we use it for mostly we also have the rear speakers for those having issues make sure you update the firmware volume for the rear speakers can be set with the remote in settings and for us 5 is plenty high enough in Atmos from a movie they sound great ! we have had no issues with this bar and our samsung tv detected and set everything the first time voices are also very clean and you can increase voice volume if needed overall a very nice soundbar...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not perfect, but deserves at least 4 stars Great option to experience Atmos, DTS:X and full lossless without a full receiver or even rear speakers. Any early issues where rear channel sound is just dropped is long fixed, rear channel is added back to the front so no sound is "missing", and is properly sent to the rears if you add the rear speaker kit. Only major annoying thing is that Samsung thinks that upper end soundbar owners don't care about a night listening /compressed audio mode, their claim that Adaptive mode works well for it is just not true. ProTip: Install the SmartThings app and set a custom EQ with the middle frequencies turned up a bit and this works well as a night TV mode (custom EQ always forces "Standard" mode with no top speaker output). Default Adaptive sound that creates a fake Atmos/DTS:X does work well for adding some soundstage most of the time, even in music, but you will probably want to cut treble a little for music in this mode, it's definitely a little too bright. Movies just have BIG sound, you may find yourself quickly grabbing the remote to turn down the subwoofer if not turned down to -4 or beyond, hehe. Of course any upfiring Atmos setup won't have the strongest effect, but you can turn up the top speaker a little too if you want a little more overhead effects for Atmos and DTS:X. Otherwise, excellent build quality, very deep hitting and rumbling bass that can thankfully be turned down easily and option to go to 5.1.2 makes this a great mid-range choice, especially when on big discount. :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SERIOUSLY GOOD SOUNDBAR..! I am very happy I bought this. Perfect for my one bedroom apartment. So good sound and bass. Thank you Samsung for bringing this in market. My small concern is I am little confused with wifi working. How does it work? When I turn on the TV it shows WiFi on the speaker but I don't know what is supposed to do.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Samsung I need you I bought this soundbar 2 weeks ago and the Dolby atmos works great but I have 2 big complaints. The soundbar does not support Dolby vision pass though so that’s a big problem. 2 I have one of Samsung’s wireless subwoofers from my old soundbar and I was disappointed I could not get both connected at the same time. So I am left with great spatial auto and bass coming from one side please help me Samsung

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Out of sync with picture Sooo dissappointed. Bought this with a q80 TV and expected everything to work seamlessly. Sadly the sound does not sync with the picture even with the optical out connection. Samsung website suggests adjusting the delay time but that is a ridiculaous suggestion when the delay is different for all sources.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Sound Terrible Connections App Support I have been using my Q70R for 1 month. Watching movies and tv shows are really great. Listening to music is also satisfying. But when it comes to advanced controling the device it is terrible. You are sentenced the silly app called SmartThings. First of all Q70R is not listed while Q80R and Q90R are listed in the supported device list. Even though the app detects it. But very very less controls are supported. The app is failing most of times. (my friend has an Q70R and he is also having the same problems). And as you are sentenced to this SmartThings any other app is not suported. I tries to update the firmware but I couldnt find what type of usb stick is supported into the service input. I also called Samsung support but they are not competent and telling the same and dont have advanced knowledge.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing I just have an idea for Samsung It sounds butifufull but I think Samsung should increase the number of sound plus accessories like the ability to make it 7.1.2 or even make wireless speakers with up firing drivers and I would totally pay for that and maybe the ability to add dual subwoofers I know it’s a lot to ask but people love costimizing audio systems and that could be one of your main ads a soundbar that grows with you but ether way I do love this soundbar I just know it could be more

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works Great !! Did lots of research before purchasing, and so glad I did, as this was the best model on the market for the price I could find. I know it taunts the speaker to be optimised for the Samsung Q-Led TV's but I have an LG O-Led 65' and it paired up in seconds with my TV as well. Love the look, the features, and the awesome sound, we can actually hear what the people are saying on TV now for the 1st time, so clear and distinct and rich deep base. We could not be happier with out purchase :-)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from ARC does not work! I hate to post negative feedback like this but here goes.. Am trying to connect my Q70 soundbar to my KS8000 TV but no luck so far. I have the latest tv update 1241, soundbar firmware upate 1008, and I have AnyNet+ on both the Q70 soundbar, TV, HDMI cables connected to the ARC ports, and the soundbar input is on DI mode, but nothing. When I check my speaker settings list I dont see the Q70 soundbar listed, only tv, bluetooth, and audio out/optical only, the DI mode stays "D I Mode," ARC doesnt replace "D I Mode" like its suppose. I tried resetting or unplugging the soundbar, turning off all the AnyNet + option on my tv and sound bar but the only thing that pops up on my sound settings is "HDMI Reciever". I select "HDMI reciever," but that doesn't do nothing just keeps saying "connecting AnyNet+ device," and resets to my speaker settings. I tired my old samsung K550 soundbar using the same setup worked right off the bat. When I try the bluetooth, wifi, and coaxial connections they work fine just not the HDMI ARC. Other than the ARC bug the soundbar does work great! My 4k movies, Roku, and apple tv sound great I feel like am in the movie theater. I was gotta buy a new Q70 tv, guys seem to be able to use the ARC on the Q tvs at least, but spending 1000$ just to get the newest soundbar to work is not a very positive thing to make long time paying costumers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great sound quality when it works! I am a loyal customer of Samsung and use their TV and other home appliances. I never had any issues.I bought Q70R sound bar few months ago and have been using with Samsung Qled TV. When I connect sounder only to the TV it works great but when I connect amazon firestick on pass-through port it works for the first time but when I turn off TV and Turn it back on TV does not recognize the sound bar and I only get sound from the TV so basically nothing works until I reset everything ( TV, sounder and firestick) which has been frustrating. After talking to customer support I sent the sound bar for repair but they sent it back saying it works perfectly in their testing environment. I can't tell if they tested the pass-through. But I have same issue now. As I said, it works perfectly and TV remote works for both when I don't have anything connected in the sound bar pass-through port but system does not function when try to connect a pass through source like Firestick to enjoy Dolby Atmos. I hope they can fix the issue as the only reason I bought the sound bar was to enjoy Dolby Atmos but I am not able to use it currently.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Question I just purchased the HW-Q70R but I've been trying to find documentation and reached out to tech support at Samsung and nobody has been able to provide a clear answer. I would like to mount the soundbar underneath a TV that is wall mounted but I think this would cause issues to the Atmos speakers since they are supposed to "reflect" sound from the ceiling to give a fuller sound experience. Does anyone know if this is an issue or if there is a speakerbar that would move the soundbar more forward so the speakers aren't underneath the TV? Thanks!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Connectivity issues from the start. the bluetooth on this device has been awful from the start. i connect my phone to bluetooth for music, it just keeps reading “bluetooth pairing” even after my phone connects. this is the the latest example. while watching tv the connection is unstable, leading to little hiccups in the sound. ive reached out to samsung customer service multiple times - these problems might go away for a bit, but they always come back. connecting via wifi or hdmi works a little better, but the sound still hiccups. ive done the hard reset and made sure all the latest updates are installed. i think this is just a broken product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from looks nice purchased this for my basement home theatre setup, as a replacement for an old samsung 2.1 soundbar. the old 2.1 system actually sounds better! no noticable atmos effects. random weird sound issues. also purchased the rear surround kit, which has to be reset frequently to get rid of static and very low volume. when it does work it sounds "ok". nothing to get excited about.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Alexa linking is terrible As a speaker system, it's great, for the money. However, linking with Alexa is terrible. No place, on the Samsung site or the internet, can I find a straightforward procedure to link the Q70R with my Alexa Echo. After much fiddling around and discovered I must use the Samsung Multi-room app? Why?? this shouldn't be necessary. Also, "device discovery" by the old SmartThings app and the new version. name and treat the q70R differently. One says "Q70R" and the other "Samsung Soundbar

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fix HDMI Arc! I have a brand new Q70-49” tv paired to this brand new Q70R sound bar. Both updated with latest firmware. Sound bar will NOT work consistently over HDMI (plugged into Samsung ARC hdmi port). Sometimes it works great, sometimes tv defaults back to tv speakers and no matter how many times you change back to soundbar it is silent and eventually reverts back to tv speaker. Quite frustrated after spending this kind of money on a Q70 tv and Q70 soundbar.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lazy sound bar, doesn't like to work i too had a “audio”synchronizing problem when i first installed the soundbar, had to play with settings, change the wiring and it solved the issue. i briefly enjoyed the sound-bar and it worked very well. next up, the sound bar changing its settings while watching a movie. it would screw up anything we watched. finally for the crescendo, the volume will go to max all by itself, that is the most annoying thing i have ever had to deal with. talk about panic in the living room! i only wish i had video of that, lol. i’m on my last leg, will try to update the software using the smart things app. wish me luck!
