Samsung HW-R650 340W 3.1-Channel Soundbar System

We just bought a new Samsung 65" smart TV and Soundbar, thinking they would be compatible. We love the TV and the sound produced by the soundbar, but like so many others, we have an issue with the soundbar randomly turning itself off.

  Poor quality, Did not meet expectations

Bought for a kids TV, and it has a little bass, but if not for that, it would barely be a step over the tv speakers. The on/off with the optical is cute, but since you still have to have the remote for volume, it really is useless. If you want any fidelity this isn't for you.

Soundbar definitely sounds better than the TV speakers on the Q80, but the sub is a little underwhelming. I have messed around with the setting quite a bit but just can’t get to that wow factor. Wish I would have purchased the HW-Q60R.

Paired with Samsung QLED 55” tv using optical connector. Setup could not have been easier and sound is fantastic. Dialogue is distinct and clear in all movies and tv programs. Excellent low frequency response without overwhelming the overall audio.

I just bought this item with the 9000s rear speakers as recommended by the Best Buy employee. Went home to set up to find out the 9000s rear speakers are not compatible. Later learned when returning the speakers that Samsung has not yet released rear speakers that are compatible with the R650...

Using optical and for some reason the left and right speakers are reversed so that left comes out right and vice versa. pretty sure it's internal to the speaker unless there's some way with optical cables to adjust it that i'm not seeing.

I bought this sound bar a few weeks ago. It works fine; good bass, 0-100 sound level setting. The only issue is that it turns on by itself after being turned off. I have to manually unplug the power cord to prevent this from happening.

The soundbar is good and even very good. The support is not so good. The tech data isn't written to understand. People complain about the subwoofer, but it works fine. It's just not for a heavy metal freak.

Not sure what the fuzz is about maybe all the other reviewers needed pro installation the bass is A+ Sound bar sound is A+ Not sure maybe I got an updated model or everybody else just needs a pro to do the install.

Easy to use, sounds great, looks amazing. Just beautiful
