WOW what a sound experience. Can be connected to your television in various ways. So you don't need the very latest television. You can also play music via your smartphone on the soundbar. Because there are different boxes in the soundbar, the sound comes at you from different sides, making the experience of the film or music even better and more intense. Definitely recommended for those who want a super sound experience.

I've owned this Samsung HW-N850 cinematic soundbar for a few weeks now. I had not seen the soundbar in real life in a store before delivery and I was therefore surprised by its large size. The soundbar therefore stands out under my 40-inch TV and protrudes about 20 cm from the screen on both sides. The information display is nicely concealed behind the speaker grille and only lights up when operated. This makes the soundbar a nice tight whole because the buttons and connections are barely visible.
It is also useful that the soundbar can automatically switch with the TV (via HDMI-ARC). The sound can, in my case, also be controlled with the remote control of the TV. This is handy because you only need one remote control. Only sometimes things do not go well and you still need the remote control of the soundbar. I don't know yet whether this is due to my 'older' TV or the settings. In addition, it can also be connected via WIFI and bluetooth, which makes playing music from a smartphone or tablet very easy. It even has its own app with which you can set up, update and operate the soundbar.
Then the most important, the sound: The Samsung HW-N850 is capable of producing considerable sound. Certainly in comparison to the sound of regular TV boxes, it is many times 'fuller', this is of course also due to the separate (powerful) subwoofer. The soundbar should be able to 5.1.2. to produce Dolby surround sound. The speakers are not only placed at the front, but also at the side and top. Despite the fact that we have watched various films with Dolby (atmos) surround, we have to admit that we expected a little more from this. We therefore do not feel that we are surrounded by the sound as Samsung promotes the soundbar. However, this was also something we had with our 'old' YSP-2200 sound projector from Yamaha so it could also be the shape and size of our living room or the lack of extra speakers. These are, incidentally, supplied with the 'bigger brother', the HW-N950.
Nevertheless, this is a sleek soundbar that provides a nice, sharp and full sound, but in my opinion it is not yet a full replacement for the sound in the cinema!

When I got the box and unpacked it, I thought, wow, that's a big soundbar. Connecting was very easy, now have it SPDIF connection but HDMI is also possible. With SPDIF you cannot use the remote control of, for example, Ziggo, so you always need 2 remote controls. With HDMI, you simply use the volume button on the TV itself or the Ziggo box. It has 2 HDMI inputs so you can, for example, connect ziggo to it and 1 HDMI out to your TV. Your TV must have ARC so that you can, for example, use netflix apps from your TV and have the sound play through the soundbar. Treble and bass etc can be adjusted, bluetooth works easily and wifi is done in no time. The only thing I found difficult was installing the wallmount but I don't think many will do that.
