Samsung HW-B750F
Score: 65/100Rankings
The Roku Streambar Pro is a 2-in-1 4K HDR streaming device and soundbar delivering 36 W of virtual surround sound with Wi-Fi and voice-assistant support. Its modest power and lack of Dolby Atmos limit cinematic impact, especially without the optional subwoofer. Best suited for apartments or dorm rooms where a simple, all-in-one streaming and audio upgrade is desired.
The Samsung HW-B750F delivers a 5.1-channel virtual surround experience with side-firing speakers, a wireless subwoofer, and Q-Symphony integration. Missing Dolby Atmos, HDMI eARC, and Wi-Fi limits its future-proofing and high-end audio capabilities. Suitable for budget-friendly users who want a plug-and-play 5.1-like setup for small to medium rooms.

Professional reviewers praise the Streambar Pro's compact yet sturdy design, its seamless HDMI-ARC/optical connectivity, and the ability to stream 4K HDR content while delivering 36 W of virtual surround sound. They highlight the integrated voice-assistant support and USB media playback as added conveniences, but note that bass performance suffers without the optional subwoofer and that the modest power may not satisfy larger spaces.
Everyday users appreciate the ease of upgrading older TVs to 4K/HDR streaming and the noticeable boost in dialogue clarity and overall volume. The Bluetooth music streaming and voice remote are frequently mentioned as convenient features, while recurring complaints focus on thin bass, the need for an optical cable when HDMI-ARC isn't available, and the bar's length making it hard to fit in smaller cabinets.
Professional reviewers view the HW-B750F as a solid mid-range option that leverages Samsung's Q-Symphony and DTS Virtual:X to provide convincing virtual surround without rear speakers. While the sound quality and dialogue enhancement are praised, critics highlight the missing Dolby Atmos, HDMI eARC and advanced calibration as notable shortcomings for premium home-theater setups.
Everyday users appreciate the straightforward Bluetooth pairing, the punchy bass from the wireless subwoofer, and the clear dialogue provided by Adaptive Sound, especially in smaller rooms. Common criticism centers on the lack of Atmos and eARC, and the limited power for larger spaces, though overall sentiment remains positive for its price point and ease of setup.
“Excellent value with combined streaming and sound upgrade.”
“Heavy and good looking.”
“One-cable ARC setup works great for me.”
