There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Picked the Samsung HW-N950 with rear speakers as a complete set hoping I would have better luck with surround-sound.
Currently I have the Samsung 65 inch 8000 series TV that I am connecting the HW-950 using HDMI 4(ARC) connector to the soundbar.
Setup was a snap, once connected up to power the Sub-woofer and 2 Rear speakers auto connected to the sound bar. Couldn't have been any easier to get them to pair. In case you have an issue with the pairing the instructions give a manual pairing method as well.
Now this is replacing an existing sound bar but after adding this one it came up automatically connected to the TV and Identified correctly. Not sure if it was because it was replacing one or if this would have happened anyways.
Sound was a little more challenging to get working correctly for the back speakers to work.
When first connected the sub-woofer and rear speakers had either no sound or so low you couldn't hear them unless you had your ear next to them. Worked on trying to get this working correctly for a few days by doing lots of web searches on the issue and found many had this issue but none of the threads had a real resolution that I could use to fix the issue. I finally did some searches on the specific sound settings in the TV Sound Options. Once I got a good understanding on what each setting/option actually did four sound quality I found the correct settings to get it all working correctly. I didn't have much hope when changing the settings because I did try this in the past with my old soundbar and it didn't make a difference when using it. But they certainly worked on the HW-950.
On the Samsung 8000 Series TV Options I found the below worked on getting the rear and sub-woofer speakers working.
In settings --> Sound --> Expert Settings. Set the HDMI input Audio Format to Bitstream (Not PCM). Also set the Digital Output Audio to Dolby Digital instead (Not PCM).
I also had to change the Sub-woofer and Rear Speakers volume settings, they can go from -6 to +6. I had to change both to +6 to get the sound the way I liked it. Speaker volume settings might be different for you but this worked for me.
Once the above changes were made the back speakers always had some sort of audible sound depending on what you are watching. When watching sports or programs with some background music You can hear the music or crowd behind you at a good sound level. When watching action movies that have sound coming from behind you to the front it was clear and crisp. Sub-woofer gave good lows but not enough to vibrate the floor. Maybe if I turn up the main volume on the sound bar it would but then the kids complain they can't hear there TV's.
Listening to Music had the music from all speakers but voices only come from the front and not the rear speakers. This might just be the way the music is broadcast-ed.
I also have a Roku that I decided to hook up even though the TV is a Smart TV and supported most of the Apps that I had on my Roku. I have found that the Plex app on the Roku has a little better sound than using the Plex app in the smart TV, but even the Plex app in the TV gave great sound.
To get the best sound results even with a Blu-Ray player you should connect it up through the Soundbar and not directly through the TV. I tried it both ways and found the sound when connected through the soundbar much better quality. The instructions also state if you have a movie using Dolby Atmos the device needs to be connected through the HDMI ports on the soundbar to take advantage of it. The sound bar has a total of 3 HDMI ports, 1 to connect to the TV that supports ARC and 2 for optional devices.
On a side note you can also configure the 8000 series TV remote to control devices connected into the HDMI ports on the Soundbar. This has them show up in the Smart Hub for selection just like any other App you might have installed.
Overall after getting it configured correctly I found it to be a great sound system with great sound quality.
It might not be as good as a component surround-sound setup Like my old Yamaha system I had years ago but this takes up a bit less space and has a cleaner look. It also simplifies setup and usage. I would like a little more control for how loud you can set the Sub-Woofer and Rear speakers so I didn't have to set them to maximum volume.
I didn't have any Dolby Atmos movies to try so I can't comment on that but 5.1 surround-sound works great.
Watching a Blu-ray movie with Dolby Atmos coding is an incredible experience. The sound can shake the room, if you're so inclined.
There's no "room tuning" utility in the unit, but adjusting the various speakers is fairly easy to do. All in all, I don't miss having the separate receiver with its heat. The Samsung soundbar has proved to be a worthy substitute for much more complicated (and expensive) systems.

1) The ATMOS sound is over-rated. Not like the theatres obviously, and the audio controls from the Samsung speakers is not flexible enough to create a fuller sound from all the bouncing around that the sound waves have to do. There's no way to calibrate the audio properly, and it's sad that Samsung and Harman Kardon (their subsidiary) couldn't include a calibration tool and room mic to help with that. It's not hard; my Pioneer came with one.
2) The HDMI cable that comes with it isn't high enough bandwidth to handle wide color gamut at 4k plus ARC. I replaced it with a $6 certified cable from Monoprice and that solved a problem that wasted hours of my time.
3) There are only two HDMI inputs. That covers my Apple TV and my Panasonic 820 Blu Ray player, but that's about it. So how do I get an Xbox into this thing? Sigh. Probably have to buy an HDMI switch of some sort and chain it.
4) The manual is weak. No test disc to make sure each speaker is working properly.
If Samsung is going to tap the higher end sound bar market, there needs to be more work on the firmware, documentation, and packaging.

I called Samsung many time, but never found my problem.
I resolved my issue myself in used HDMI. So the front speaker work really fine.
