    This all-in-one system is sleek looking, powerful and technically advanced. So is the price. The Samsung HT-X810 was one of the coolest soundbars announced at CES 2008, mostly because of the 5.8GHz wireless subwoofer. That plus Bluetooth connectivity, a USB port, HDMI output, and an on-board DVD/CD player put it ahead of most competitors, and the glossy black styling matches Samsung’s HDTV line (especially our 40-incher) perfectly.

    • Excellent audio and video quality; good connectivity options; easy setup
    • Slow input switching; confusing audio settings; remote is not universal

    From MP3 players to cell phones to PCs, the HT-X810 is all about seamless connections. Not only does it easily connect with any Bluetooth-enabled device to expand wireless audio listening capabilities even further, it also integrates easily with a variety of different devices and file types.

    After a few weeks of research I decided to purchase the Samsung HT-X810T Home Theater System for my 42” HDTV. The soundbar surround system with built in DVD player and wireless powered subwoofer, eliminates the need for an AV receiver. Read more

    So while the HT-X810 can't match the all-encompassing sound of a true 5.1 speaker system it's still a good option for anyone that wants an uncomplicated, all-in-one entertainment system. Read more

    • Versatile all-in-one home cinema system with DVD player and powerful 2.1 speaker system
    • Virtual surround sound still can't match the immersive sound of a real 5.1 system

    The USB port on the side opens up the possibility of playing back music, video and picture files, as does Bluetooth connectivity. There's a component video and optical input for another AV source, too. Read more

    • Dramatic styling, Wireless subwoofer, Powerful stereo performance
    • No HDMI input, ‘Virtual’ surround mode ineffective

  1. Trouble prone and did not last

    I DID NOT BUY this product from Amazon, but after only two years, I am looking for it's replacement on Amazon. The part of the DVD player that loads and ejects DVDs has bee problematic for a few months and has finally quit working. Got a DVD stuck in it right now. The concept of this device was what I was after: an easy to install device, that took up one shelf. Something that would play a DVD and augment my Toshiba TV's kind of tinny sound system. Read more

  2. Simple and somewhat effective

    It is a fine device, only problem is that the sound is good enough for home theatre but not so great for anything else. It connects to everything on bluetooth which is great to listen to pandora and other internet radio, but again the quality is not going to be super or audiophile by any means. I installed a music player program to my android phone that has its own equalizer and then the sound was improved like 10X! Read more

    • simple to use

  3. Great for movies, bad for music

    This unit has ridiculous amount of uncontrolled, boomy bass from wireless subwoofer. It is fine when watching movies but drastically degrades CD playback and radio experience. If you want to buy this unit as a versatile DVD & CD player, look elsewhere. Read more

    • Attractive Design, Easy To Setup, Great sound for movies, Picture quality
    • No sound controls, Overwhelming bass, Poor Interface
  4. Wonderful Sound System

    This is a great piece of hardware. I wish we were able to figure out how to hook up the game systems to this thing - we are a little challenged in this area. However, we were blown away by the sound quality. Watching a movie is a brand new experience. Read more

    [...]Opened it up and had it all connected and working perfectly in 15 minutes to Samsung 46" LCD TV. Its as simple as plugging in wall, connecting HDMI cable & optical audio cable(neither is included)and included FM antenna. So easy a caveman could do it! I have HD cable box with HDMI connection so Optical cable is for sending TV broadcasts over theater system. Made NFL playoffs awesome. Wireless subwoofer works great. Read more
