Samsung HW-N300 Wireless Compact Soundbar

Very impressed with the sound from this sound bar. I bought it to replace an old 3d Panasonic 5.1 surround sound system with subwoofer. Its easy to install and I have a lot less wires behind my tv unit now. I have it connected to my Sony TV via optical cable. it turns off/on with the TV and I have paired my phone via Bluetooth very easily. the lights on the front are different colours depending on the input e.g. when its in Bluetooth mode the small blue light comes on as a visual reminder. only slight downside for my chubby fingers is the remote is very small - not much bigger that a credit card.

Used with a 49inch 6 yr old Samsung TV and had dithered for a while on buying this particular soundbar in case it didn’t make much of a difference. When the price had dropped to £109 I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. For the price I have not been disappointed. Voice quality is very similar to the TV but the improvement is with background sounds and especially when watching movies or dramas. If you’re into high tech high quality hifi it may not be for you. I’m 69 and was looking to improve my tv hearing experience and I believe it has achieved that. One of the things you need to get used too are the function lights on the front of the bar. Once you switch off your tv speaker (which you have to) , sound adjustments do not show up on the screen! .....you have to know what the lights on the bar are doing when pressing the various buttons on the soundbars remote!

My Philips flat screen kitchen TV has a fantastic HD picture but a very tinny sound.This speaker works well and is tucked away below the TV, facing forwards and though strictly limited in base response is meeting my requirements. In my case it is connected to the TV via an optical digital cable and automatically switches on, a few seconds after the TV and off a few minutes after the TV. I still have to adjust the volume using the speaker remote.A reasonable price for a compact sound bar.

This was easy to install. We hard wired it to the Samsung TV but also can be used as a Bluetooth speaker. Check settings on the TV if you get a slight echo as TV speaker needs to be disengaged. Do this through the tool/sound section on the TV. A beautiful sound quality and compact with no huge bass speaker to try and hide behind the sofa! Bought this during Black Friday sales so a good price too.

It took me about 5 minutes to unpack and install this sound bar. Connecting it via bluetooth to my Samsung TV was very simple. Setting the TV output to use the soundbar was equally simple. After that the sound bar was automatically controlled by my existing TV remote control. The quality of the sound is a big improvement and in particular dialogue is much clearer. For the price I think this is really good value for money particularly if you have a compatible Samsung TV.

I bought as a desktop speaker to replace a hi-fi with bookshelf speakers. The sound quality isn't bad, but there is a constant white noise while the soundbar is switched on; it doesn't matter whether you have anything plugged in or if any devices are connected by Bluetooth. That might not be an issue if the soundbar is underneath a TV at the other side of a living room, but when it's 2 feet away from me on an office desk it's very noticeable.On another note, it doesn't respond particularly quickly to the remote, so I tend to use the buttons on the side. It does connect quite quickly to Bluetooth, though.

Great value soundbar that was perfect for my needs. I have an older samsung smart tv and it paired perfectly to the soundbar via optical cable. I have had problems previously with a generic soundbar when I tried to watch netflix through a virgin topbox, but there was no problem with this soundbar connected to my tv. Small lounge and improves the sound quality loads.

The sound bar worked straight out of the box with my Samsung smart TV. The sound quality is very good and we are very happy with it - the only downside (not the fault of the soundbar) is that it connects to the TV with an audio-optical cable because the TV does not support blue-tooth and as a result the volume level does not display on the TV when adjusting the volume.
