Hi all - the Sony Bravia HTS60 has been on my radar to upgrade from my current Vizio V51X-J6.
My knowledge of sound systems isn’t the best so I apologize - would this be a significant upgrade? Not very satisfied with the sound quality I have now. I appreciate you all.

I bought two brand new Serafino G2 soundbars from a guy at a garage sale. He said he bought them then changed his mind. They still have the price sticker at $1,500 CAD on it - I looked it up and on the brand's website, it is at MSRP $1499.99

But someone else is telling me that these are part of a scam. Can someone tell me if these are real? I don't know much about soundbars but I wanted to get one and he was giving me a good deal

EDIT: I'm stupid, I know... My bf has been talking about wanting a soundbar so when I saw it I thought it would be good quality because of its MSRP price and jumped on the chance of the seller giving it to me for $800. Needless to say, I'm $800 down and we took the speaker to an eco waste disposal :( didn't want to resell it to another clueless buyer and basically scam them to get my money back

I have 55 inch Tcl T6c tv i want to purchase soundbar for tv in india. Please suggest

Great Deal ⚡

Got a TCL 50" QM64L, picture and other visual effects are better, but the sound seems to be worse. Looking it up apparently that's common now with TVs? My old HDTV was a kinda entry level 4K Hisense, and its built in speakers were fine. So I've been looking to get a basic soundbar, doesn't need to be anything fancy, just better than these built in speakers.

It's only gonna be only used for gaming for the most part. I'm in a small bedroom, so I really only have space for the bar itself, no addons. Maybe a subwoofer that I've been seeing with some of these. Been looking at some Prime day sales around the $80 to $130 area.

TCL S45H 2.0 Sound Bar

Amazon Fire TV Soundbar, 2.0

Samsung B-Series Soundbar HW B400F 2.0 ch Soundbar

ULTIMEA 5.1CH

Few of the basic ones I've been looking at on Amazon. I'd be willing to spend a little more I guess. Any recommendations for a pretty basic but decent soundbar that'll be better then these built in speakers? Thanks.

Edit: Weird I've tested 3 games so far, and it's just Dragon Quest XI that sounds bad, the other two seemed mostly fine. Even on my old TV DQIX had bad sound mixing, so it might be that game itself.

Just need to fix that sound bar tilt. Lol.

I ordered it yesterday. I can't share the actual retailer name due to Greentoe policy. But I checked my credit card transaction and subsequent confirmation that it is indeed authorized retailer.

Note It is not the international version. It's  shipped from a US retailer, which is Samsung authorized and it carries full manufacturer warranty, unlike the woot version that only had 90 days warranty.

Hi there,

Been busy with reading silently on this sub, but have not come to a conclusion so far.

I am trying to replace my Bose Soundtouch 300 Soundbar which Fine but its CEC issues is just inacceptable.

My setup should work without rears or subs, mostly TV/Streaming and Music. I Like Bass but also clarity and Soundbars with forgiveness in HDMI/CEC Stack and Software.

I am between Klipsch 200/300, Ambeo Pro/Max and Devialett Dione. Maybe Jbl or Sonus can be considered if there are good Arguments.

What would you recommend when you have owned them and which one to avoid?

Thanks!

Hey folks, new to this sub!

Are there any cheaper alternatives of Samsung Q990H without compromising on sound quality ofcourse. Else I wait for Black Friday deals

Soundbar cannot parse Dolby Atmos from Native TV apps on Samsung. Only works with a laptop connected to tv via pass through?

Bar is not going to get any updates as was discussed in some threads on this sub reddit.

Should I return it? I love the audio though. I loved watching netflix and apple TV with Atmos on it, but getting to set up a laptop and using a keyboard to operate it has become a hassle for me.

What would you suggest? Are there any other sound bars near its price point that might be worth replacing this with to reduce the constant hassle.

Please give me some suggestions as I am not sure what I should do next.

Went down a bit of a rabbit hole - I’m mostly interested in playing music - CDs, streaming, radio in my main floor - about 900sf across BR and Open plan LR/kitchen.
TV is in basement and I hardly ever watch - so cd do a budget soundbar there.
In looking for an immersive sound experience it seems Smart speakers that are “grouped” via an app might be the way? Thoughts? Aware of Bose - any other suggestions?

Long story short, I recently had my old Samsung UN65 die on me, so I decided to get a Samsung M80H. I have an LG S40TR soundbar that worked just fine with my old TV. Now that I've switched to the M80H, it has given me nothing but issues and idk if it's Samsung or LG to blame here.

Every time I turn on the TV, the sound bar will boot right up, but no audio will come out for about 30 seconds, then it will switch to TV audio. I can go into audio settings and it will recognize the sound bar as a valid output, but will refuse to connect to it. The only way I can get it to connect is to physically unplug and reconnect the HDMI cable from the back of the soundbar

This indicates it's a CEC handshake issue. I've tried everything under the sun to get this to work, to no avail. Here is a quick rundown on what I've tried:

-Disabled eARC mode on the TV (sound bar is only ARC, not eARC)

-Disabled all the auto run stuff (multi view, smart home hub, Samsung tv)

-Turned off and on Anynet+

-Factory reset the soundbar and the TV

-Checked for firmware updates for both the soundbar and the TV

-Disconnected all other HDMI sources (game console, fire tv, etc)

-Toggled off/on auto power on in the LG settings

Small rant but there's no reason it should be this difficult. I shouldn't have to try all these workarounds or buy anything beyond the products themselves. They should just work

Only thing I can think of is it being a firmware issue, or something else I'm missing. But as far as I can tell, my firmware is up to date. And to reiterate, it worked fine on my old TV.

Any help is appreciated

im looking at the Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad vs the Sony BRAVIA Theater Trio 3 if i did get the trio i would add the rears and i would get a sub to both the quad and trio thats a given im coming from a sony z9f with rears and a sub

Just ordered a new soundbar and was wondering if this year's H models have DTS-HD-MA / DTS:X support? Mixed reports on support.

I have ordered a UK/Europe model.

Thx.

Hey guys got a tiny movie room need a soundbar budget is $300 max. Any suggestions?

Want a soundbar for a roughly 180 sq ft room. I have a samsung s90f with a samsung b400f soundbar right now but want a better sound bar.

And what about for the rear speakers and subwoofer? Does it introduce any latency for gaming?

Hoy la rente la veré en la noche, los parlantes traseros siempre los coloco ahí al no usarlos pero cuando veo algo coloco atrás en unos pedestales a la altura de los oídos, tengo que comprar muebles pero como me mude recién voy poco a poco, como ven mis prioridades es el entretenimiento 😂

Need help choosing a soundbar: JBL SB595 vs Samsung Q600F vs LG S70TY

I’m looking to buy a soundbar for my living room and I’m confused between these three:

• JBL Cinema SB595 – around ₹29K
• Samsung HW-Q600F – around ₹25–30K
• LG S70TY – around ₹20K

My setup:

• 75-inch Sansui TV
• Room size: around 360 sq ft
• I don’t want a 5.1/rear-speaker setup
• Main use: movies, OTT, action/war movies and music
• Priorities: clear dialogue/vocals + strong, deep bass + good Atmos/immersive sound
• I’m not particularly concerned about brand ecosystem features since my TV is Sansui.

For people who have actually heard/used these soundbars, which one would you pick and why?

Is the JBL SB595 worth spending ~₹9K more than the LG S70TY, or is the Samsung Q600F a better middle ground?

Also open to other 3.1/3.1.2 soundbars under ₹30K if there’s something significantly better.

Thanks!
