Samsung - HW-S60D

Bought my first soundbar yesterday Samsung HW-S60D. I didn’t have a big budget and it was 298$CAD instead of 348$CAD. I live in an apartment so I can’t have anything too loud. I’m happy with it for the moment. Edit: So yeah… soundbar crapped out and won’t turn on anymore after making an horrible noise. Getting a replacement

My s60 never goes above 25 here due to it being way too loud. Ever had your ears cleaned out professionally?

I have used a Sonos Beam Gen 2 and a Samsung S60D with my 48" LG C4. I kept the Samsung with the TV for slightly better dialogue clarity, and use the Sonos as a table speaker for the slightly better music. The Samsung lets me Chromecast music without needing the TV on, Sonos would require me to use the Sonos app. I agree with what rtings.com has written about both of them (they are both good). The Sonos app issues were irrelevant to anyone just using the beam connected via HDMI ARC. The Sonos app is better than the Samsung/Smart Things app, but once I had them set up I didn't really need to use the apps anyway. If I had a 65" TV I'd be looking for a Sonos Arc Ultra, but there are probably lots of people upgrading to that and selling their older but still very good original Sonos Arc bars.

I like the Samsung s60d. Not a true 5.0. but it sounds good for the price and size. No subwoofer. Maybe a Sony a5000, but I find it sounds flat without the optional sub. The Sonos arc or arc ultra is the best sounding and looking bar by itself I've heard or seen.

I love my S60 D soundbar samsung. Connectivity and everything works great.

I got the Samsung HW-S60D/ZC Slim Series soundbar and it’s fantastic. Wanted something compact and small with my 48” C4 with Dolby Atmos support. It is on sale now for reasonable price. Hope it helps!

Don't buy a soundbar just because it's the same brand as the TV, I tried Samsung's Q-symphony and it's ass. I also switched to a Sony TV while keeping the Samsung soundbar.

Klipsh 200 is my choice for a budget all in one, then Samsung SW-60D, then DHT-S218

The Klipsch 200 or Samsung HW-S60D are your best options in your price range. The Klipsch will run you about $350 (on sale) and the Samsung $280. Klipsch is a 3.1.2 system, Samsung is a 5.0 system. If you need one a little less expensive, I'd go with 1. Sonos Ray 2. Samsung HW-S50B 3. Bose TV Speaker 4. Denon DHT-C210 5. Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus. Those five are $250 and below. BONUS!: Yamaha SR-B30A is another very solid option at the same price as the Samsung S60D

Then the Samsung HW-S60D or Sonos Ray are going to be your top options. Unless you splurge for the Klipsch Flexus 200.

You guys are forgetting he wants a standalone bar without a sub and $200 or less. The Samsung S60D is going to be your best option if you can find it on sale. Otherwise, the Amazon Bar Plus or Sonos Ray 2nd Gen are the best options IMO.

Hello. For that price I would go for something like the Samsung S60D. It has 5.0 channels, it is small on the front, it has Tweeters for voices, you have Atmos and it is in your budget.

If you are looking at Samsung, out of those I'd recommend the Q600C. It has a slightly weaker sub than others in its price range, but can be a good thing for an apartment. The C series isn't really worth it imo. B650 and B750 are very popular, but no Dolby Atmos support if that's important to you. S60D is like a very budget Sonos Beam, and it sounds like it too. Very poor Dolby Atmos, and almost need the sub for it to sound decent. Also recently discontinued, so they are on sale. If you plan to get the sub for it, might as well go with a different soundbar. If you really want to go without sub, I'd go Sonos Beam Gen 2 or Bose Smart Soundbar (550/600 are almost the same if you can find them on sale).
