Best praise vs top criticism for Samsung HW-S50B
“$199 (down from $279) Bose TV Speaker $157 (down from $198) SAMSUNG HW-S50B My first sound bar was that Bose sound bar that I bought a few years ago as part of a holiday sale. It was in my living room until I upgraded last year; now it's in our guest room. It's definitely better than the it's speakers. Samsung makes good sound bars. My current living room soundboard is Samsung. I found some good reviews for the S50B.”
“This is the issue I’ve had with Samsung soundbars. The S50b also seems very hollow, so I don’t know what the craze is”
