Pros and Cons

Pros3

All can be controlled with the smart things app by samsung. Arc is convenient and nice, just another unnecessary hdmi cord in the jungle of cords already.

Samsung soundbar and subwoofer. Easy setup, awesome sound, and easy to use. Sub is a decent sub.

This hw-b650 is perfect for me. Really enjoy it and don't regret the upgrade.

Cons3

Everything is harsh, high pitched, unnatural and tinny. Speaker and subwoofer are packaged in an awful l-shaped configuration. Poor audio quality from the tv. Blue tooth connection is not strong.

Samsung is worthless on support. Very disapointed. Just hard to fully appreciate it with these other issues.

With each button push, you are required to step through other button pushes to activate an action. Each command you give only allows about 5 seconds on screen before it disappears and you have to re-activate the remote request again.

Pros2

Clear voice technology is great for dialog heavy shows. The remote is a bit difficult to navigate.

This sound bar is top notch. The bass is powerful and background music is clear. Other than the over accentuated bass response, which has now been eliminated, the sb500 sounds great, especially for the price.

Cons1

Not natural sound, muffled, unnaturally changed, harsh for ears. Even if you'll set dialog enhancement for 0 (which on the bar is 1.
