Samsung - HW-B650

Frankly at this price point, if you for mivi, govo, Zebronics, boad you will get the ugly base + muffled sound.. so basically you will just increase the volume with no real benefit in clarity.... All you can do is choose few audio or videos that you feel has issue, e.g..i tried Dune 1 or 2 trailers... They have loud music and the vocals are hardly audible in the BGM.. Go to some showrooms and ask them to play these are 50% volume and stand at 8-10 feet and try to listen.. whatever you feel good get that... One recommendation is samsung b650d/xl it's 3.1 and available in Amazon for ₹12,950 with card discount...or JBL cinema series..

Got my first sound bar (Samsung hw-b650) on discount from 400 down to around 180 (discounted to 189.99 and had an open box excellent for 162) just gotta wait to get home from traveling for Christmas to bust it open! (New to home theater equipment and didn’t have the budget for a mid range to high range sound equipment so don’t be too harsh)

I purchased the Samsung HWB650 with sub a few weeks ago. I thought the sound was Ok, although not blown away….the sub sounds great, though. I found a Bose Ultra on sale and with other discounts I ordered for $650 It arrives tomorrow. Hoping it gives me the immersive sound I was hoping to get out of the Samsung 650- If I like the Bose sound, I will also get the 700 Subwoofer. I’m putting the 650 in my basement and adding to my treadmill TV

Hey there! I’m looking for soundbar recommendations. I’ve been looking to upgrade to a soundbar for a while and I have a budget. I’m definitely an audiophile, so I would like to have one with a great bass, a dedicated subwoofer and some type of surround sound (whether integrated into the soundbar or as seperate speakers) Also if possible I’d prefer one that has both HDMI eARC AND Optical Audio input, as I’d like to be able to use it with both my TV and a record player that I plan to get! Figured I’d be better off asking people with personal experience than reading store listings lol. EDIT: thanks everyone! ultimately i decided to go with a samsung b650 on sale for $190 from best buy and will later buy the wireless rear speakers separately. i’m very very happy with it so far!

Thanks for your input. I have the SW3 sub paired with the Bar 8 in a 14X16 room. I was surprised how low the volume on the bass was even when maxed out. It sounds adequate for movies but seems a little lacking for music. I originally bought a Samsung HW-B650 for $230, and for music, it sounded better than the Bar 8. The problem with Samsung was that the dialogue was lost in the action scene effects in movies. Since I watch more movies and TV shows I'll stick with the Sony Bar 8. Loud bass scares my cats, so I'll stick with the SW3 vs swapping for the SW5. I just wish it could have punchier bass when I wanted. So far, I haven't found any settings that improve the bass.

I bought the samsung B650 and its a huge huge upgrade. I would suggest that the Bass is decent. Its a 3.1 channel bar with separate speaker for vocals. I got it for 82k 6 months back. You can check out the current prices. It has HDMI Arc but not eArc

I ended up buying the Samsung HW-B650D, and to me at least it's really good.

Most modern, quality soundbars can be balanced to focus on dialog clarity with a simple option built into. Same with streaming media devices. Look at Samsungs mid range stuff for the best value to sound clarity. I have a B650 on my bedroom TV and it’s great.

When I originally bought my tv I also got a Samsung B650 soundbar and sub with it. It was around $200 at the time on sale

I recently got a Samsung B650 3.1 system as part of my TV combo deal. It's usually around $250 and it's pretty awesome. For music, I go to my KEF Q150 with HK amp, but the B650 is a great choice for watching movies and shows.
