Samsung HW-J7500: Performance

Samsung HW-J7500 Performance

The Samsung HW-J7500 delivered one for the Best efficiency. Like any good soundbar, it restores the sense of scale and presence in film soundtracks that gets lost through weedy TV speakers.

A lot of the credit for this should go to the subwoofer, which adds depth and weight to action location, but the soundbar crisp treble and clear midrange provide snappy effects and audible dialogue. It’s a fun, entertaining hear, filled with energy and vigour, but crucially it does not suffer from distortion or hardness.

The Samsung HW-J7500 does not trip if you crank up the volume. 1 or 2 foibles threaten to spoil the party. Like the Samsung HW-J7500, bass could be tighter and better defined it loses grip when the action gets hectic – but you certainly can not argue that there is not sufficient of it.

Another issue is that the soundbar has restricted bass extension, counting on the subwoofer to do all of the low-frequency heavy liftings. Clearly you would never use the soundbar without the sub, but the upshot of the bar is limited range is that it does not gel as cohesively with the sub as it might.

You may not notice and even care about this stuff and why should you when the sound is this entertaining but if you are serious about sound quality then we really do recommend checking out a few of the ‘straight’ soundbars.

The Samsung HW-J7500 is simply an average sound bar. the Samsung HW-J7500 slim soundstage and constrained active punch put a damper on our overall impression for a sound bar on this price class.
