Guys - just wanted to update that i'm having a problem with this soundbar. When using Bluetooth I'm about 6ft away and there is skipping of the music.

Some Googling has found that they only support a range of ~2ft?!

Does anyone else have this problem? I usually use Chromecast but that range is so short :/
Cheers

I'm pleased with the purchase. Most importantly, it sounds pretty good. Certainly much better than TV speakers. Looks stylish and works well with my black TV. Wireless subwoofer is helpful. Haven't had a chance to test with a film yet but there's a few different audio modes.

I decided to go for it, picking up tonight.

Bought the 430 sound bar to go with my Samsung 55" KS7000 K4 TV as the TVs speakers were not much good.
Set it up wireless easily enough and improves the sound well. At £125 at currys I can't complain. You have to have seperate electrical sockets for both sound bar and sub woofer.

I bought this last week and am happy with the sound so far. Plus very easy to stream music from my phone via blt. The only problem in my case is that i can not turn off the tv internal speakers (Sharp tv) so have to mute them. Anyone encounter this?

picked one of these up today. sounds amazing! sub isn't a floor shaker even at higher volume but everything is much richer and the action filled parts have alot more punch to them! money well spent I'd say!

cheers OP, ordered one up now

silly question - Why are people so concerned with an hdmi connection for a sound bar or speaker? Surely everyone has modern tvs that have optical connection on their tv?

I looked at the Bose soundbar too and was impressed although there was no subwoofer. Looking at the Samsung 450 to buy too, bit confused to which one should I go for?

so the 450 have 2 hdmi and optic and this one onlny optic ? with sub from 360 ?

Now at £117 on Ebay Currys/PCWorld

hiya planing buying this Bose ® Solo 5 TV Sound System - Black 179 pound does any 1 think its a deal or a bit expecive thanks guys

43"

would anyone recommend this for a Samsung 65inch ? thanks

Hey guys - really tempted by this - can't find anything which comes close & the wireless subwoofer would be helpful.
Happy with your purchase? Would you recommend? Lack of HDMI not an issue.

Thanks

Absolutely not, you couldn't pay me to use those...

Confirmed no HDMI, despite Currys site listing it as a feature....

Improvement over my UE48JU7000 sound, connected it via optical cable to TV. Although I haven't looked at any of the sound options yet on the TV yet, looking for best settings to take full advantage of it.

The manual link to the Samsung site confirms no HDMI input.

I know very little about TV/audio just want a simple sound upgrade for a small room. Is this optical-only a bad thing in my context? Many thanks to anyone that can chime in!

Got a similar model to this and it's respectable. I don't think it will win any audiophile awards though.

Yep, no HDMI. I have got the auto on/off feature working using the optical cable. It is a big improvement over my Sony 60w soundbar.

I bought this today and unless I am missing something there certainly isn't an HDMI connection.

The k450 and k430 are different. The K430 has a smaller sub woofer, and lower RMS output. It's like they've replaced the sub with the one from the K360, although they're both wireless subs. K450 is a superior product. Neither are multi-room, but both support the SWA-8000s speakers. Those rear speakers are utter rubbish.

According to Currys it is has one HDMI port but nothing on the instruction manual. Can anyone confirm?

​Great. The currys and argos websites say the k450. Hopefully the UK model is the same as the CA one

that's great thanks.
surprised this hasn't got hotter by now...should I wait for something better?

According to an instruction manual I found here: http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/model/HW-K430/ZC/

it is compatible with the SWA-8000S wireless rear speaker kit (page 5)

are you sure it cant be? as the cheaper version can

how about this sony one for a 5.1 option? 40% off?

Sony

can see little point if it can't be expanded.

Any suggestions on cheap soundbars that can be expanded to rear speakers in the future?

I want This

It's a good soundbar but if you wish to then go 5.1 surround by adding R speakers to it then you can't do it as the set isn't multi room compatible.

Can't find any reviews for this soundbar (only for the 450) ..is it good?
