    Good work posting the compatible models! If there's a soundbar not on the list, it most likely won't work with this set. Samsung rear speakers change each year and as they do the models they work with change.

    Looking at that model list screams out one thing… Way to many soundbars in their product line. Not to dissimilar with their phones too.

    • onlinepred on 02/10/2018 - 10:19

      It's often better to release only a single model, that way people have no choices at all, and also covered less markets and segments…..

                  @Randolph Duke: It's what the average consumer says so haha. Hence the word sheeples was invented for this very reason, people literally line up for days for a product they can buy from any old store. I mean even now with the latest iPhones they offer less, have less in the box, yet charge more. They don't even have fast charging out of the box lol in 2018 - you can buy a fast charger out of the box though for $69 (doesn't come with a cable though). See how it works? If they just get the phone into your hands, then you have to spend more money on top of it, and of course their accessories are very costly too so they make loads of profit from you on the phone, and then the accessories which fall apart quickly - and don't forget that since you are locked in, you will pay for apps that they get a share of, and probably pay for other apple products like a laptop/cloud storage etc etc which locks you in further to their ecosystem. It's a well executed marketing plan aimed at those that don't care about money, or are concerned with image. You tell me, would you pay $1400 for a phone that does more than a phone that costs just over $2400, does it matter that it doesn't have an apple logo on it?

                    @onlinepred: I don’t actually care. I really don’t understand Android fan obsession with running down Apple/iPhones at every opportunity. We get it, you think you’re smarter than the average iPhone user. So edgy. Meanwhile, enjoy all your manufacturers copying iPhone design after design, and secretly clapping every time Apple drives up mobile phone pricing.

                      But you really shouldn't get into this, as Apple are slowly copying all the features from other phones. The notch, wireless charging, fast charging, notifications, bezeless design etc etc. The sooner the better as they are quite behind. I miss the days of jobs

                      Apart from the using to instead of too, these are both correct and rational comments.

                  Unfortunately floor standing speakers need something to power and distrubute a sound source for them to work *correct me if im wrong

                  I have floor standing speakers run through an amp and the amp is connected to my tv through hdmi arc so i can control most things with one remote. Also turns on the amp when i turn the tv on and vice versa

        I'm happy with it overall. The bass is really impressive and doesn't piss off the neighbors if you're in an apartment. In the surround mode you get a good amount of seperation and it actually mimicks having rear speakers pretty well. Spotify integration is excellent too, if you're into that.

    I purchased the HW-N650 and rear speakers SWA-8500s to set up in a 4x5m living room. Loud enough for sports or music, clear and crispy for PS4 gaming.
    The acoustic beam tech of the soundbar really overwhelms the rear speaker set (or maybe the SWA-8500s were too quiet).
    The SWA-8500s seem like a waste of space and $$.

    These are good. I bought some a while back for around $100 from the Good Guys ebay and they were easy to set up and sound good. Definitely recommend if you are keen to add some surround sound speakers to your existing sound bar.

    Pros:
    They are wireless between the soundbar and the rear speakers.
    They are really easy to set up.
    They sound great and are a cheap alternative to a new sound system.
    You can change the volume of the rear speakers relative to the master volume.

    Cons:
    The speakers are wired to the rear base unit (the speakers themselves aren't wireless)
    The rear base unit requires power and needs to be near a power point.
    The speakers can be a little quiet if you can't get them near the chairs you will be sitting at.
    The speaker design is a little different to my front speakers

      Yeah, it would be good to see the source so that we can forward plan. I'm looking at the HW-N450 2.1 Soundbar for $349, not sure if it's worth that much extra compared to the HW-M360 for $198.

    Do I need to get a soundbar with a 5.1 processor (eg HW-N650 5.1 Soundbar) to get true surround sound?
    If I get a 2.1 or 3.1 processor presumable the sound coming out of these rear speakers would just be the same as the front L and R ?
