Brother you are such a good salesman, i'm sold.
Glad you enjoyed! My goal is more to educate and help people in their shopping journey since you cant really get that anywhere in a store nowadays.
Recently got a Sony X90L tv and wanted to buy an accompanying soundbar around this price range and narrowed it down to the Samsung Q700C and the S801B - any recommendations?
depends, if you want more realistic sound go with the Q700C. If you want decent sound and a really cool style go with the S801B. Make sure to shop walts.com tho :)
How do you connect Android TV box to HW801B soundbar? It has only 1 mini HDMI input. Need help pls.
I dont think you can, This soundbar is not designed for that function.
Maybe a stupid question but due to ongoing connections using arc on my TV, and it is an ongoing nightmare. Does a lead exist micro hdmi to use from sounbar to my optical output on my TV?
no thats the only thing that kinda sucks about this soundbar is its only that micro hdmi to hdmi that works
@WaltsTV I bought a Sonus optical to hdmi cable from amazon, best £30 I spent. No sound issues flicking from each hdmi port, changed tv output to spdif, perfect. It has to be my TV but this adapter has helped
No matter what I try I can't get dolby atmos working, I've tried native TV apps and a PC, anyone have any tips? I've got the hdmi plugged into the Arc port on my TV. Thanks in advance
Does your tv support Dolby Atmos? If not, and it supports Dolby Digital Plus, it can still pass through the Atmos signal and be processed by your audio device. If you have neither of those supported on your TV I don’t think you’re going to have much luck. Most streaming apps use the Dolby digital plus route and call it Atmos, true lossless Atmos is more of a blue ray thing.
Are they compatible with Samsungs wireless rear speakers add on?
yes but you have to check their website for the compatible model.
This sound test, we've been able to hear came from soundbar only or was that with the Subwoofer together? If it's bar only - that's absolutely mind-blowing!
no that is with the subwoofer, its a shockingly good sounding soundbar for the size.
I have this equipment a few days and I noticed that the sound of the bar is very high and without any record. When the bass increases to have a less high-pitched sound, the impact of the subwofer becomes very exaggerated. I still can't adjust for myself. sound modes are limited.
So this soundbar in particular is more about looks and getting good sound in a tiny form factor. If you want more control over the sound you have to go bigger and more bulky.
I wish I lived in the states. I would buy all my gear from this guy!
Haha, glad my videos have a positive impact around the world!
I wonder if I can connect 2 HW S801B together at the same time. Or anyone have tried this before?
One was placed under TV and one was placed under sofa and form a dual audio?
I don't think it would be of much benefit to have one under the sofa. Im not sure if this soundbar has it or not but you could add the Samsung wireless rears to better the experience.
Does this work well with just Samsung TVs or would a Hisense TV also pair well with it?
if it has an ARC port it should work well!
I bought this and was excited, had constant audio issues with the HMDI arc. Has anyone had issues with the HDMI arc constantly losing connection to TV hdmi arc?
it could be deffective, problem is that its not a standard hdmi cable so it makes troubleshooting difficult.
Same issue here! Debating whether replacing/returning it is worth a try or if the issue will appear on the new system as well.
I have the same problem have to mess about with it a lot when switching different sources Android box to Games console and sometimes when I switch off Android box and console and put TH-cam on the TV
@aideyl9626 The only quickish certain fix I am aware off, to reset it (press and hold the volume up and down) on the bar. I have mine up for sale, I was wondering if it's an issue connecting to my hisense TV but I just can't work it out.
@WaltsTV I bought a new micro or mini hdmi, sorry can't remember which it is. I have the same issue when all my hdmi are connected
I just got the 801. The only thing Samsung messed up on is they really should have made the power cord and HDMI -> mini HDMI longer. If you plan on mounting the soundbar under the frame TV (like I did), youre screwed unless you break open your drywall and hide the DC converter in the wall. Basically, the power source is only 5 or 6' so you can't string a wire and fish through the wall at a long distance. Same goes for the HDMI. You will definitely need to buy and extra HDMI cord and coupler to fish to the wall in order to connect to the Samsung Frame TV power bank.
True, I don't think there is a perfect one size all for this sound bar, its intended to have some sort of entertainment center below which not everyone is going to have.
Spot on, that coupled with the fact its made to wall mount but the cord point out to the left and right away from the center of the unit where you would feed your cables.
But isn’t it wireless, I read you don’t need HDMI for this.
@@abhinavyoutubeyes but Bluetooth audio is not as great as a super speed HDMI cable.
what about the sound? do you like it?
Hi do you know the difference between the hw s801b and hw s811b?
I'm pretty sure its the same they are just different models for different countries.
What’s the difference between the s801 vs s700d? I can get the 700 for about half the price.
the 801B was designed to pair with the frame tv. the 700 does better with height audio over all. this soundbar is more about design and the low profile.
Does this is a good solution for Sony Bravia A8 2020 TV ?
depends on what your going for, if your looking for a clean slick looking soundbar then yes!
@@WaltsTV i want to have sround 360 degree sound effect while watching movies or sports
?
I have a 2023 neo QLED samsung, would this be able to pair wirelessly to the TV? (I don't want to use arc or HDMI) If so, would there be a big gap in sound output? Thanks!
Yes, and most likely. Bluetooth audio is ok when its just audio but when you pair it with video it can get dicey. Sometimes in certain tvs you can mess with the delay settings but that's ussually never perfect.
@@WaltsTV appreciate the insight and reply!
I thought I read that you can pair this with your TV over wifi. With the TV and soundbar connected to the same wifi, you can connect the audio that way.
Hello , can it connect as PC speaker ?
Thats a good question. Its hdmi to mini hdmi so I would assume the best way would be to use bluetooth
Need help! I have a LG tv. Is it compatible?
yes though the hdmi arc it will work the same!
How do you reset the soundbar?
thats a good question, every one is different so I would check the manual online
Hi, can I ask you for your opinion which one do you choose? - HW-Q700B x HW-S800B x HW-Q600c Thank you in advance for your opinion!
800B for sure, it just has more bass and that is what I need. Also you get a more realistic surround sound with the 5.1.2 vs the Q700B which doesnt.
@@WaltsTV Do you mean Q800b or this S800B? Such S800B has 3.1.2 like the Q700B, not 5.1.2. Now I choose between q700b and s800b, suppose it's choice between more sound and more space - is that true?
@@kaufd yes sorry I didnt see the "s" So basically what I would say if you can justify it, the 800B is the best bang for your buck. This soundbar in the video is really built for the frame tv to fit in well with the wall and not stick out like crazy. If you have a normal tv I would probably stick to something like the 800B or 700B only get the 600C if nothing else is in stock.
@@WaltsTV Thx for reply. I choose a soundbar for real small room (about 12 sq.m.) and space matters. Also I'm afraid q800b and even q700b will be too much, especially neighbours behind the wall will not be happy))
The HDMI is it 2.0 or 2.1 ?
2.0
Whats the difference between this and the S801D? They seem identical.
They are pretty similar!
But what are the differences?
Q700C or S801 - which one is better?
700 is better s801 is better looking
Should I get the 811 or 801? The 801 is 130 bucks cheaper at the moment.
801, thats pretty good savings!
What differences?
Can it pair wirelessly?
Yes
Which one is better? HW-Q600C/XU vs HW-S801B/XU
I am so confused
Q600C is better. S80qB is great, but its more focused on the design.
@@WaltsTV thanks for the information you provided 👍
@@WaltsTV thanks I had the same question
@@WaltsTV Hello! There are much difference between Q600c and Q700c models??? I want to buy one of them. Regards!!
801b or sc9s lg?
depends on whats more important to you, style or sound?
Is this a better than a Sonos beam?
I think they are very similar actually. Depends more on if you have a frame of want to invest in a sonos system.
@@WaltsTVso you would say the sonos beam without a dedicated subwoofer comes close to this bar with subwoofer?
@@fahrradbang69 yes but you dont get the flush look of this soundbar
@@WaltsTV then thats a little disapointing i would say since i thought this bar with a sub would put out more deeper bass than just a standalone sonos soundbar
@@fahrradbang69 It does, I thought you meants pairing the beam with a sonos sub, my bad.
ya bought one what does the dam mic do nothing in the manual
mic?
This thing sucks for 1 big reason which is that its only real connectivity option is HDMI-ARC, which means direct connecting it to a TV is pretty much the only option.
This is fine for I'm sure many users who simply want to connect a soundbar to their TV, but for those of us looking for that ultra slim (and white) design in order to do some very specific things with, it is falling short for its creative potential.
For example, I wanted to use it to be a very low profile and unobtrusive sound option by connecting it right near the floor just above my white baseboard. Then I would have used it with my 4k movie projector to essentially have a massive theater setup seemingly come out of nowhere.
I wound up actually doing exactly this but there really is basically no way to connect it other than to a TV, so I jury rigged a ridiculous setup where I had a small LCD TV connected to the computer I was using the projector with, purely to be able to utilize this soundbar.
People think, "oh surely there must be SOME sort of option like an adaptor or a special soundcard or something?" but NOPE.
yeah that is the only downside about this soundbar, which in your case is the make or break.
Buy a arc switch. not ideal but will do what your looking for fine.
2:25 👀
pause
😂😂😂
Ay yoooo
Do you think it’s better then the Q800B?
Definitely not, Much different speakers in the 800B but its also designed to be minimal, for how thin it is it actually sounds great.
@@WaltsTV Appreciate that, I was debating on buying out of those 2 & I figured the 800B would be better
I noticed it only has hdmi output and no input. Will it work properly when connect via tv output? Will dolby work? Thanks
@@solonely17 Yes its HDMI-Arc but the soundbars connection is a micro hdmi. They give you the appropriate cable as well.
Why say they give u the cable, micro hdmi, I bought this sound bar,and no they do not give u this cable, I had to buy one.
Just don’t bend that bs mini hdmi that connect to the back of it
yes bending cables more than they should be bent is a bad idea
