Overview
Samsung gives the HW-B650 a dedicated center channel in the bar itself, aimed at clearer dialogue, with Dolby Digital capability and DTS Virtual:X on top. The box also lists a wireless subwoofer and a remote.
A center channel and Voice Enhance focus on spoken words, which helps for dialogue-heavy shows. The included optical cable and wall mount kit make a tidy install possible straight away. Some TV integration features work only with select Samsung TVs.
Who it's for
People who watch lots of speech-based content and want a simple soundbar that mounts under or behind a television. Listeners wanting a full surround system with rear speakers should step up.
Pros and cons
- Dedicated center speaker for dialogue
- Wireless subwoofer included
- Optical cable and wall mount kit supplied
- Voice Enhance and Night Mode
- Heavier than a compact bar
- Some features need select Samsung TVs
- Mobile Bluetooth blocked while linked to a TV
Performance notes
A center channel handles dialogue separately from the front channels, and Voice Enhance adjusts the equalizer to boost speech. Multichannel decoding plus virtual surround processing create a wider sound stage from the front. The wireless subwoofer carries the bass, and Bass Boost raises it with one button.
