I have the S61B version of this, which is likely still similar. For $200, I'd consider that a good price, provided you're okay with no small information display at the front like the better Q series bars have; all prompts and settings are Vocal. That and no sub of course, since this is a 5.0 bar.
If you've got a samsung TV get a samsung soundbar, I have the Samsung S61B soundbar and it sounds really good, it powers on/off with my TV remote and of course volume works, I can also control it via the smart things app so it could be hidden anywhere, hope this helps!
the living room has the Q600B , that one works well! no complaints. and then in my bedroom , i have the SW61B that’s paired with rears (Swa 9200s) and a subwoofer (SWA 510) that i use for my TV via airplay (with an apple tv) and i also have it hooked up to my computer via optical cable. this little thing packs a punch , especially the sub.
Samsung S61B w/ Samsung W510 Subwoofer and SWA - 9200S for the rears. 8.5/10 hands down easily recommend. especially for bedrooms ! bedrooms it’s an OP setup 😅
