HW-S800B (2022)

I have the Samsung s800b and a fantastic Dolby Atmos soundbar it is. Was around the £800 mark, on Amazon for £350. Also compatible with Samsung Atmos rears if you wish to add at a later date. It is a well reviewed product that gives a good sense of immersion with Dolby soundtracks. Also has ability to combine with the Samsung TV speakers and has WiFi capability... It has replaced a dedicated surround system due to circumstances but I still love it 😃

Yep this! I have the older B version. Did the trick!

Owner of a S801B, can confirm what this guy said.

I purchased the Samsung S800B when it was on sale sometime last year for about 300 dollars, normally around 550, and I recently purchased the samsung 9500s rear speakers to make a surround sound system for my room. I'm sure there are other set ups that offer better performance, but I've had nothing but a great experience with the pairing. I watch a lot of movies/shows with Dolby atmos, and the top speakers of the rear system make arrows sound like their coming above. Great for gaming as well, though the top speakers might not offer a lot due to using the gaming sound mode the tv offers.

True, but own 990D, 800D, and 600D. A neighbour has S801B and man that packs a punch. 800D sub feels like it is just there but there is no delivery. I have tried changing the location, direction, and settings but it's a dud. So, shared the comment based on personal experience.

Samsung S800B - ultra slim and sounds really good for that size. Got some good reviews as well.

Sub is definitely not better. That new subwoofer is a major downgrade from the previous subwoofer. I've had both the Q800B & the S800B. The 800F is the same subwoofer as the S800B (6.5" driver + 8" radiator) & that subwoofer doesn't come remotely close to the 800B subwoofer.

Tbh, I like the new 990F subwoofer with the dual 8" subs, however the fact that they went to the single 6.5" + 8" PR subwoofer design from the slim soundbar series absolutely infuriates me. I've had both the Q800B & the S800B, and the single ported 8" subwoofer with the Q800 was miles ahead of the S800 6.5" sub + 8" PR design. Had deeper & louder bass. They should've just put the dual 8" sub with all the Q900's and kept the single 8" for the Q800.

If you want sub 40hz bass, don't get the 600F. Try to find a Q800D (NOT 800F). I say the 800D cause they changed the subwoofer on the 800F and honestly downgraded it. The new subwoofer is the sub from their slim soundbar series. I've had the S800B (slim soundbar) & the Q800B and the Q800B subwoofer was without question the better subwoofer by far. The 800F subwoofer will still sound alright, it just won't play as deep or as loud.

I'm definitely picking the Q800D. I've had the S800 & Q800B before, the S800 was one of the worst systems I've had, & the Q800 was one of the best systems I've had. The S800 is a disaster tbh, shocked they released it like it is. If you turn it up past like half volume (which isn't loud) you'll hear the bar itself like vibrating & rattling. It's insanely disappointing. The subwoofer was alright, but didn't play as deep as the Q800 ported subwoofer. And the sad part is the new Q800F subwoofer I think is literally the same subwoofer as the S800, which imo isn't even close to the Q800D subwoofer. If the 800F was an 8" subwoofer with an 8" Passive Radiator, then I'd pick that, but with it now being a 6.5" sub & 8" radiator, I think it's a massive downgrade from the 8" ported design.
