So...affordable impressive sounding system that looks gorgeous with plenty of volume to immerse you in beautiful sound I hope to be specific to my glitch, but, after that it was heaven.
5 channels including dedicated center speaker for voices when watching TV and movies.
I find this soundbar to be great for what I want. This is perfect for rooms and small living room.
The base is good enough but not explosive, depending on the music, the bass will be much more present.
The details that this soundbar is great because I can hear additional instruments in music and hear outside noises when watching movies. This is due to the 5 channels adding additional imagery and wider sound.
Here are my recommendations.
There is no sound mode level indiciator (treble,bass, and etc) but I counted 12 levels.
I would put treble at zero or level 1 and put bass on level 5 or 6 depending on your preference.
Also, keep it at adaptive sound for brighter sound and better clarity. Adaptive sound is great that will automatically switch setting if it detects, movies, music or TV.
Positive
1. When going through, sound mode, there is a voice that will tell you if it's treble or bass, which is great so no need to look at the soundbar.
2. Great sound and clarity due to more than just 3 speakers.
3. Good enough bass.
4. Small size
5. Clear and concise remote
Negative
1. No levels or indicator for volume and settings.
2. if you need more bass then this will not please you but it can be connected to a samsung subwoofer wireless.
3. The soundbar is priced fair at $300 but do not buy it more than that.
Overall, this soundbar brings clarity, details and a wide sound for rooms and small living room. While it lacks explosive bass, it makes up by being smaller and engaging sound due to the multiple sest of speakers in the soundbar.
Having a dedicated third channel (it's a 3.0, in other words) for dialogue and effects makes all the difference. Voices are clear, and movies come alive with sound effects that seem to be coming from everywhere, bouncing off the walls in all directions. It's quite the immersive experience.
Speaking of which, what sold me on this model was the DTS Virtual X setting, uncommon at this price point. But as it turns out, the "adaptive sound" setting works the best. At least in my room.
Now to the cons: Support is a disappointment. The available Samsung apps do not work with this model, so you must rely on the included remote which leaves a lot to be desired. To adjust treble, bass, etc you have to rely on the lights that flash on top of the bar, and you have to be standing over it to see them. This soundbar needs some tweaking to arrive at it's optimal performance, and that's quite a hassle. Also, the included directions are vague and incomplete. You'll need to download the PDF manual available online to access the complete information. Are these deal breakers ? Not at all, just letting you know what to expect.
Finally, I ordered a refurbished model, listed as ' very good' and it arrived in pristine condition, with all the original packaging in tact. It looked as if it was brand new. That reduced the price considerably from it's already low cost.
To sum things up, this Samsung sounds great, rivaling models that cost hundreds more and I highly recommend it. It's just a shame that there's no app available to make adjustments more intuitively.
UPDATE: After downloading the PDF online of the complete instructions, ( a must ) I've discovered a few features in the unit that aren't, for some reason, even mentioned in the manual that came with it. For one, there's a six band graphic equalizer hidden in the remote control, etc.
But, most importantly, the download suggested to set your TV's audio output to Dolby Digital instead of passthrough or auto or PCM or whatever. This makes all the difference !! Dolby Virtual X comes alive with room filling wonder. I couldn't believe my ears. Make sure to follow this advice.

Mir am wichtigsten: Der Sound, den die HW-S60A liefert, ist sehr gut. Und die Sprachwiedergabe ist sehr qualitätvoll, was vor allem bei textlastigen Sendungen/Filmen ein klares Plus ist.
Verarbeitung:
Insgesamt ordentlich. Aber der Stoffbezug der Soundbar ist ein Staubfänger.
Einrichtung/Installation:
War bei mir etwas mühsam. Musste mehrfach versuchen, die Soundbar zum Laufen zu bringen. Zumal sie sich nicht mit meiner Fritzbox 7590, die direkt daneben steht, verträgt. Auch der Support von Samsung konnte mir da nicht weiterhelfen. Über einen devolo-Adapter ein Zimmer weiter funktionierte dann die Einrichtung/Anbindung ans Netz. Keine Ahnung, wieso Samsung nicht in der Lage ist, eine Fritzbox zu unterstützen?!
Was wirklich nervt:
Man kann optional "Audio-Feedback" nutzen. Eigentlich eine sehr gute Sache, weil einem damit über eine Stimme z.B. kurz mitgeteilt wird, welchen Wiedergabemodus (Musik, Sprache) man gerade nutzt etc. Das erleichtert die Nutzung der Fernbedienung. Allerdings ist die Lautstärke für das Audio-Feedback nicht separat einstellbar (wurde auch vom Samsung-Support auf meine Rückfrage hin bestätigt). Das heißt, wenn man einen Actionfilm in großer Lautstärke ansieht und einen anderen Modus einstellt, erhält man bei aktiviertem "Audio-Feedback" eine Rückmeldung in einer Lautstärke, die einen fast vom Sessel weht. Ich hab die eigentlich nützliche, aber schlecht umgesetzte Funktion daher deaktiviert, um nicht ungewollt abzuheben.
Muy estético y ligero con buena conectividad en HDMI Arc, óptico y Bluetooth, con indicadores led en la parte superior, muy visibles aunque el acabado es de tela, elegante por cierto.
