Samsung HW-S800B/S801B review: compact size, big

• Thin size and bold design
• Easy to connect
• Clear and powerful sound
• Missing a clear display

Where many soundbars need a large housing for a powerful and clear sound, that is different with the Samsung HW-S800B. This ultra-thin soundbar, together with the included subwoofer, delivers high sound quality. I only find the display on the soundbar unclear.

Ultra slim sound bar
When unpacking the soundbar, you immediately notice the compact housing. Samsung calls this an ultra slim soundbar and it really is. It is barely 4 centimeters deep and I find that very cool to see. It also fits perfectly under the 55-inch television, which is about the same width. Connecting the bar is easy with the supplied power cable and HDMI cable.

big sound
Together with the included subwoofer, the soundbar delivers a great sound. I turn the subwoofer on full and the volume of the bar high and enjoy powerful tones and clear vocals. The 2 upward-facing speakers bring the sound to life and make it sound spacious. Especially with the right settings enabled, such as SpaceFit, I enjoy a fairly intense surround sound. A set of rear speakers would complete it for me, as the sound struggles to get behind me.

Adjusting settings complicated
There is no clear display on the soundbar, so some information is not completely clear. For example, I do not see how high the volume is and what the level of the subwoofer is. What I really like is that the soundbar reads out settings. When I press the cog on the remote, the bar reads which setting I am currently adjusting. Very fat!
