<\/a><\/p>\nSound<\/h3>\n
The A650 soundbar paired with a subwoofer is equipped with DTS Plus and Dolby Audio bass boosters and decoders.\u00a0Despite this, the bar has an understated minimalist audio profile.\u00a0The soundbar has a dedicated center channel for clear speech.<\/p>\n
The left and right channels are capable of projecting sound in any direction to provide a spacious soundstage.\u00a0Adaptive Sound Lite is able to create more realistic sound.\u00a0Additional acoustics can be integrated into the 3.1 CH system via a Bluetooth connection to create a complete home theater experience.<\/p>\n
The A650 soundbar has a very good midrange response.\u00a0But out of the box, the bar only has a neutral, balanced sound profile that is suitable for listening to simple audio content.<\/p>\n
However, the HW-A650 tries to reproduce deep low bass, although the deep thump and rumble of heavy bass music is lacking.\u00a0True, there are some sound customization features, including a graphic equalizer and presets, as well as bass and treble settings.\u00a0They allow you to somehow add richness to the sound.<\/p>\n
As much as the manufacturer assures us, the Samsung A650 soundbar has poor surround sound performance.\u00a0It reduces surround content to simple stereo.\u00a0Therefore, things like voices and footsteps will not be presented as clearly and accurately in the soundstage.\u00a0Even when the speakers are expanded to 5.1 CH, it may seem that the sound is coming directly in front of you, and not from the speakers located around you.<\/p>\n
Samsung’s A650 soundbar has a wide variety of sound enhancement features.\u00a0There is a graphic equalizer to help you get the sound right.\u00a0Several EQ presets are also available: Standard, Surround, Bass Boost, Game, Adaptive Sound Lite, and DTS Virtual X.\u00a0Adaptive Sound Lite can improve the sound of dialogs, making voices clearer.<\/p>\n
The Game preset is recommended for adjusting sound settings for better directivity.\u00a0This helps to track audio cues in games, although it is not known whether it works correctly.\u00a0Next, you can turn on or off the automatic volume control mode.\u00a0How to do this is described in the manual.<\/p>\n
Connections<\/h3>\n
The Samsung A650 soundbar has multiple physical inputs.\u00a0There is a full HDMI In port, which allows the panel to be used as a hub between various devices.\u00a0However, the bar does not have an AUX port, so the connection of “old” devices is questionable.\u00a0Optical audio input, one HDMI ARC input and one HDMI output are available to the user.\u00a0A USB port complements these connections (reads files from a USB flash drive).<\/p>\n
You can connect the Samsung A650 to your phone or tablet wirelessly via Bluetooth.\u00a0It will play audio from these devices without the need for wiring.\u00a0However, Wi-Fi playback (Chromecast or Apple AirPlay respectively) is not available.<\/p>\n
Pros<\/strong> Cons<\/strong> In short, the Samsung HW-A650 Soundbar is a great soundbar at an affordable price.\u00a0The user will receive not only a subwoofer, but also improved audio with support for Dolby Digital, DTS Virtual: X, Adaptive Sound Lite and Bass Boost.\u00a0Unlike this year’s younger model, the HW-A450, there are improvements in dialogue clarity thanks to a dedicated center channel.<\/p>\n [ratemypost]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A three-channel soundbar with a separate subwoofer seems to be the most appropriate option for the price.\u00a0Samsung’s HW-A650 is a good example of a soundbar and subwoofer solution that boasts 3D surround sound capabilities.\u00a0But is it really so?\u00a0Let’s try to understand the Samsung HW-A650 review so as not to disappoint a potential buyer.
