Pros and cons
According to our soundbar expert
- Thanks to the Ultra Slim design of barely 4cm in depth, the soundbar fits into every interior.
- Dolby Atmos sends the sound to your listening position via the ceiling, so you can enjoy surround sound without rear speakers.
- SpaceFit Sound adjusts the sound of the soundbar to the acoustics of the room for a room-filling sound.
- If your television is smaller than 55 inches, the soundbar will be wider than your TV.
Description
The Samsung HW-S801B fits perfectly in every living room. The Ultra Slim design of the soundbar is less than 4cm in depth and makes sure the soundbar looks good everywhere. Thanks to Dolby Atmos, it feels like you're in the movie theater. This technology sends the sound to your listening position via the ceiling, which makes the sound come from every direction. As a result, you can enjoy surround sound without rear speakers. Thanks to SpaceFit Sound, the sound of the soundbar adjusts itself to the acoustics of the room. This results in a room-filling sound.

Nice boost for TV sound but not for music
- Design: modern, sleek and unobtrusive
- Great subwoofer for the money
- Installation and operation super easy
- Sound quality is also quite disappointing

This product was easy to connect (Wi-Fi network) via Samsung's Smart Things App, it has useful options, looks great and sounds more than proper. Nice sub bass.

Very nice design, really great! The installation is very simple and self-explanatory. The subwoofer does what it should do (via Bluetooth, so no cable) and certainly gives enough warmth and body to your sound at home. Unfortunately, I find the bar itself rather disappointing in terms of sound. The top high is very clear, but sometimes close to the sharp. It is also a good search for the right sound setting. In addition, I just miss a lot of sound in the middle area, precisely there where a lot of the musicality of your sound is. As a boost for your TV sound, it probably suffices, but to play nice music, this beauty falls short in my opinion. Sorry, back...
