Samsung HW-F551 Pro Reviews

The Samsung HW-F551 is a slender, silver slice of sound and measuring under 5cm in height, will easily nestle under your TV unobtrusively without blocking the remote or screen. The silver mesh design is very attractive in the flesh but there’s always the slightly mundane black version – F550 – if your tastes are more traditional. The wireless subwoofer is of a much more bulky construction but it’s still quite lightweight and thanks to a communication range of up to 9M with the main speaker bar, finding somewhere good to put it should present no issues. The HW-F551 packs plenty of connectivity options with choices such as HDMI (including ARC compatibility), a 3.5mm analogue input and a S/PDIF digital optical audio connection. The F551 will also communicate by Bluetooth with your enabled PC, Smartphone or Tablet to stream your music collection or even as an accompaniment to games and other apps. The bulk of your interface with the HW-F551 will be via the included remote, which, whilst petite, isn’t too small to make itself un-useable. As a minor criticism, we’d like to see a backlight but it gets the job done.
