Subwoofer not working

i purchased a t650 soundbar 3 days ago, and the woofer is not working after 2 days of use. i tried all the possible ways to troubleshoot the woofer (manual connection, plug and unplug, a combination of both) . while we were testing the unit, there have been problems with the woofer connections, but the salespeople were able to fix it. unfortunately, i have been using it for 2 days, and when the woofer failed, tried troubleshooting and wasted 2+ hours of troubleshooting. the other samsung soundbar i have is working, perfectly, this specific model is just frustrating.

Keeps disconnecting

for some reason it keeps disconnecting from my samsung tv whenever i have the hdmi tv arc setup. it only works as bluetooth speaker but the quality of sound isnt the best via that connection. the times ive reached out to customer support i was told to unplug tv and soundbar until it connects back.

Bad Samsung Soundbar T-650
Nick
3/26/2021
purchased this t-650 on feb 22, 2021. set uptook some doing but after calling samsung and working with the tech was able to get it done. this is my 3rd soundbar so wasn't unfamilar with these set ups, but this one was tough. after using for a few days called samsung back cause not working well. my samsung tv speakers were better and louder then the soundbar. after spending over an hour with teck asked to speak to someone else. was connected to new tech and spent another 45 mins with her. nothing worked. it's terrible. have a less expensive samsung soundbar in another room that's much bettee. this one is worthless. can't return it to bestbuy (over 2 weeks can't return). at this point i will give it away or throw it away cause it's of no use at all.

Great Sound

the sound from the soundbar/sub woofer is pretty awesome. you really need to crank it up to appreciate the quality and feel the bass.
the only complaint i have with this is that it frequently switches the sound back to the tv speakers from the optical output for no apparent reason.
it's pretty annoying to have to keep changing the settings.

Samsung refused to post my original review , which was an honest opinion based on the performance of their product. They keep lowering the retail price, which tells you something. I'm sure this reply will also not be posted, so they can keep hawking this low quality overpriced soundbar.

i wish i'd have read the reviews before making this purchase. 75% of the reviews are unfavorable. i bought this soundbar based on samsung's past reputation, but they dropped the ball on this one. hooked up optical and the sound is flat, and the bass woofer is almost non existent. the treble from my tv speakers is actually better than the soundbar. i would describe the setting as compared to a tone control on an outdated table radio. i paired this to a large visio flatscreen in our bedroom, so i guess i'll live with it. the price has gone up since my purchase, when in reality it should be under $100.

Very Low Volume

very low levels from all streaming services. connected to a samsung 50" tv via hdmi arc. dolby is completely unusable. sound is only marginally audible on a few programs with dolby set as a source on the tv. dialog is honky and often unintelligible (boomy) on most movies. no correction via bass & treble or the equalizer. the smart sound isn't smart at all. i have the surround speakers and they have to be turned up to 6 in order to be audible at all. woofer is medium good but that doesn't make up for the horrible sound from the bar itself. yes, i am totally familiar with all of the controls. have to set the source to pcm in order to get audible volume at all, and even then the audio must be set to 90 or even 100 to be usable.

I thought technology would catch up
Enelra65

i currently have a receiver and speaker system and bought this because i have speakers failing. i was hoping that technology would catch up. surround sound? yeah right! if you want true surround sound, get yourself a receiver and some good speakers all the way around. this is not the system for you. i hooked it up, set it up, and turned it on. the volume is ridiculously low. i turned my tv speaker all the way to 100 and this to 100 and it still does not compare to my receiver system. whoever gives this 5 stars, has never been in a movie theater.

Sound levels are disappointing
Josh

i've had a samsung soundboard in the past so i thought i could trust them, i should have read the reviews hopefully save someone their time...
does not get loud, i've tried both hdmi and optical neither really made a difference...
it seems this model doesn't do as well as their other ones... although to be honest i probably won't be buying samsung again.
going to start looking into other brands next time.

Do not buy t650, sub failed in less then one week
Tingley596
12/6/2020
bought the t650 on 2dec20 today is 6dec20 and the subwoofer already failed. went through the entire process of tech support, unplugging, manual reconnect etc and it loses connection about every 5-10 seconds for up 30 seconds at a time. nothing fixed it. sub worked great out of the box but didnt last long. also sub is very weak maybe could have been a sign ar the bigging but this is my first home audio system. my advise either buy a better samsung system or go elsewhere because this product is not a good one.

this soundbar sounds fine as long as you are not connected bluetooth... if you try to connect for phone, ipad, computer or any other device the the blue tooth is sounds horrible it is a static and muffled sound! this was a gift for my husband and i feel horrible that he cant connect his phone as he'd like because of how horrible it sounds and of course the box is gone now so we are stuck with it! :( i do not recommend!!!

i'm shocked to see any poor reviews of this soundbar. the sound quality and volume are incredible. i dont think ive gotten past 60% volune without feeling like the walls are going to break.
i'm hearing things in music that i've never heard before.
watching movies on my 75" q7dt with this soundbar is a whole new viewing experience.
i wish i could have afforded the hw-q80r, but i can't imagine how much better it would be.
best speaker system i ever owned.

Great Deal !

searched for months looking for a sound system that had the volume, bass and clarity i was searching for. as far as i am concerned the hw-t650 is the best option of any product under $500. i like my movies, shows and especially my music loud and bass bone shattering. my wife will confirm with her ear muffs on. and that's only using a third of the power. no idea how others can say it doesn't have enough power. now i'm sure there are others out there with better surround sound but not for this price point. just a great deal.

Poor sound, weak bluetooth connection
Frank
10/17/2020
just bought this soundbar and play with all sound modes available (played with treble and bass adjustment as well). this bar has a low sound quality compared to my old sony ht-ct260h.
moreover, the soundbar doesn't recognize the last bluetooth connection. i need to connect my devices manually every time... my old sony has this feature...
for this, i do not recommend this product.

T-650 MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT
STEVE
9/20/2020
thought i was getting a really exceptional soundbar but really disappointing. end up using my samsung tv speakers more than sound bar due to muddy voice dialog even using hdmi arc connection.. no adjustments i have made have improved the situation to any great extent so i have a $300 decoration. will be looking at another product soon.

Second soundbar in a year failing
GBMagoo
9/17/2020
i have now bought 2 samsung soundbars in the last year.
the first hw-m450, the most recent a hw-t-650.
awesome to start.
the first, after 3 months, wouldn't turn on. did all the trouble-shooting... nothing.
the second, display completely stopped working, i can't even change settings at all. afraid it will stop working altogether as before.
my experience doesn't make me want to replace with another samsung product, servicing these is complicated/pandemic. i still have the old one, unusable.
i'd love to have new faith in samsung.
but soundbars proving to be a waste of money. a shame.

sound is not worth the price. hooked the bar up using both hdmi and digital and was not even close to being satisfied. turned all the way up to 100 before even slightly enjoyable.

Dialogue is low
Dave
9/5/2020
dialogue from the hw-t650 is disappointing to say the least, and overall sound is below expectations. you would figure a sound bar with a dedicated center channel would get dialogue right, but i guess not. i get better all sound from my $90 vizio soundbar.
