It offers a handful of premium features at an affordable price with a performance that’s quite decent. The Samsung HW-R550 is a budget soundbar for those want to get better TV sound in an unfussy way. The performance isn’t the best a soundbar can put up but it isn’t the worst for its price range either. However, you can be sure to enjoy some level of immersion if you tinker with the volume a little till you find the ideal volume level. Listening at lower volumes will reduce the punch while raising the volumes results in distortion. Sony also included a voice mode to enhance dialogue but the output isn’t the best you can get from a soundbar.įor a basic soundbar and subwoofer, the sound output is quite decent, but getting a balance is quite difficult. There are many modes for movie playback like Cinema and Music, and you can tweak the subwoofer levels to taste. The performance isn’t entirely flawless as the sound tends to get boxy and becomes occasionally unbalanced. With up to 320 watts of power, the HT-S350 knocks out some really powerful sounds, especially when it comes from its beefy subwoofer.

But if your TV doesn’t have HDMI ARC, simply connect via the optical cable. This should allow your TV remote to control the volume, though in some cases, you may need to engage ARC and/or HDMI-CEC in your TV’s settings menu and change the sound output to External Speaker or Receiver. All you need to do is plug in the bar and subwoofer, connect a high-speed HDMI cable (doesn’t come in the box) to your TV’s HDMI ARC port and that’s about all there is to it. Thankfully, setting up the HT-350 is super simple, especially for TVs with HDMI ARC. With these specs, what you’re getting is a basic soundbar and subwoofer. There’s no Wi-Fi here, which rules out the possibility of streaming directly from popular apps like Spotify, but you can connect the subwoofer wirelessly to the soundbar. As far as connectivity is concerned, you will get an HDMI ARC and optical audio input while the power cable is permanently attached to the bar. The main unit features touch-sensitive buttons on its faux leather top panel for power, volume, Bluetooth, and source switching. Measuring about 35-inches wide and less than three inches high, this soundbar can comfortably sit away from sight beneath your TV. The main unit is made of solid plastic, except for the metal grille that covers the front face and some of the sides while the subwoofer is a blend of wood and plastic. Both the soundbar and the subwoofer come in matte black. The Sony HT-350 rocks a relatively modest design with no distinguishing features to rave.
