We bought the Samsung b650F and we were not impressed at all. It was way too crisp with too much treble and not enough low/bass. It actually hurt our ears to listen to. We tried all the settings and couldn’t get it to balance out. The Polk audio signa s4 was on sell for $359 and still might be. That is a very good sound bar/sub for the money. Even the Vizio 5.1 SE we have has better sound than the b650f and that was $120.
I got a samsung b650 for i think 169 bucks, im no soundbar nerd but i love it. Comes with a woofer
I went with this one, and i have nothing to compare it to but i sure do like it. Thank you!
I have the exact Samsung, I’m very happy with it
I'd say b650 is better. A bit more depth to the bass. But the rears, dinky as they are, on the s60tr are a nice to have and add in the mix. If you got good places to put them. I'd probably the lg provides marginally better immersion
Samsung HW-B650F. I got one recently and i love it
I got it for $286. I live in Canada
If you don't need cinema experience the b650f could be good its a 3.1 soundbar with good power and with samsung tvs you can do q-symphony which makes a virtual 5.1 using the tvs speakers
I'd spend a bit more , a soundbar is something you'll have around for years , plus ask to try them out , when I went to buy mine I heard the base b650 and thought it was good , then I heard then q700b and I was shocked on how much more depth it had , I spend the extra 200 and bought that q700b , now I have the q700b , q800c, and q990d , and each one is better then the previous and its noticeable
I just got the Samsung HW-B650 a few weeks ago and I have absolutely no complaints. Comes with a subwoofer and got it on sale at Best Buy for 230. Doesn’t sound tinny at all to me and you can very easily adjust the tone and sound modes.
I’ve probably watched about 3 different Star Wars movies that have Dolby audio and haven’t had any issues. Sounds fantastic in my opinion, especially for the price.
