Samsung HW-Q70R - sound bar system - for home theater - wireless is rated2.60 out of5 by10.
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 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 Alexa linking is terribleAs 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 Great sound potentials for moviesLooks 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 Disappointing connection experienceSmartThing 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 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 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 balance of performance & designSo I have been using this system for about a week now. Features/Design - Setting it up with my TV was a bit confusing at first but I was able to figure it out eventually. I like that you have the option to connect thru wire/wifi/bluetooth depending on your needs. I went with the Bluetooth option to minimize wire mess.I live in a small (overpriced) apartment and I cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate its minimalist design. Obviously I would prefer a full stereo system but this is a happy compromise for now.Sound Quality/performance - My general expectation for soundbars is pretty low so I was pleasantly surprised. Pretty impressive sound range (lacking a little mid range) and crisp sound quality overall. I have heard way worse from some stereo systems. Things got even better once I was able to setup Dolby Atmos. As long as the wall angles are right, you will notice the difference. This may not be the best bang for your buck in the market but it provides excellent value within its price-tier, especially compared to other premium brands.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not worth for the moneyNot 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 Nice soundEarlier this year I bought the Q70 Samsung T.V. and I bought this soundbar to go with it. It's my first soundbar and I like it for a number of reasons. The sound is a big improvement over the T.V. speakers, and setting it up and operating is simple. I've got Comcast Xfinity and I can control the cable box, the T.V. and the soundbar all with the Xfinity remote which is nice, and there are some limited options for adjusting frequencies. The adaptive sound mode sounds like it has some kind of crystalizer effect, which I won't try and explain but which makes audio sound a lot richer. Also all the sound modes allow you to tweak the bass. Some minor complaints are that 1). only standard mode allows frequencies tweaking, and it seems to lack the crystalizer effects of the adaptive sound mode so it's not a mode I would normally recommend. 2). Adjustments to frequencies and the woofer are limited, and it's a big subwoofer so it's too bad you can't crank up the bass beyond a few notches. 3). It's expensive. 4). Only one HDMI input and no eARC HDMI.
