Our Verdict
Samsung HW-B650
Samsung HW-B750F
The Samsung HW-B750F is a better soundbar than the Samsung HW-B650. While these are similar soundbars in many respects, including their stereo tuning and design, the HW-B750F has the added benefit of a 5.1 configuration, so surround sound isn't converted to stereo. Because the HW-B750F also has side-firing drivers, it has a wider stereo soundstage, too. Still, the 3.1 HW-B650 has a higher max output volume and retains dynamics well. And, for TV and stereo music, these bars might be similar enough that you can comfortably make the compromise for the lower price. They otherwise share many of the same sound enhancements and limited audio format support.
