I use the soundbar together with two R5 speakers on a Samsung UE55 KS9080 Curved TV; all Samsung and the same generation of devices. Pairing via WiFi was relatively unproblematic, but it is unstable. The connection is interrupted and cannot be restored.
The Mutliroom app offers basic functionality, but is also unstable, e.g. it does not recognise the TV as a WiFi sound source.
I find the sound of the soundbar with woofer flat without power.
Stand-alone, i.e. not in surround with the R5 speakers, an EQ and presets are available. This can be used to spice up the sound a little, but all in all it remains unsatisfactory, flat and unbalanced (my reference is an aging Onkyo 5.1 system).
In surround with the R5, the sound image for music is usually quite good. With films, voices are difficult to understand and the bass is overdriven. Since there is no possibility to change the sound in surround (EQ and presets are inactive), this is annoying.
The workmanship of the soundbar itself is good, it matches the TV well. The subwoofer is cheaply finished, surface, overall appearance.
I would not buy this product again, mainly because of the poor functionality and the unsatisfactory sound.
I deliberately bought the complete system from Samsung with the idea of getting something problem-free and of high quality. Unfortunately, neither is the case.

The sound is rich and very spatial. It also goes almost perfectly with my curved TV.

Good quality sound bar and subwoofer.
Good value for money.
You can easily feel the difference between when the system is ON and when it is OFF with only the sound of the TV (recent since SUHD TV) ...
I recommend it!
