Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

The Samsung HW-S60D is an all-in-one 5.0 soundbar that ships without a built-in subwoofer. Owners can expand the system later with Samsung's wireless SWA-W510 subwoofer and optional rear speakers for a fuller surround setup. It supports Q-Symphony to work alongside compatible Samsung TVs, though one user struggled to locate the D.IN sync option after connecting via HDMI eARC. Another commenter reported the soundbar occasionally disconnecting from the TV. Prospective buyers have asked whether HDMI or optical cable is preferable and whether TV remotes can control soundbar volume directly, suggesting some setup ambiguity. Others wondered if it could be mounted in a recessed media wall cavity.
