Samsung's HW-F450 supports ARC (Audio Return Channel). In the past, connecting multiple devices required several cables, quickly leading to a mess of wires. Today, HDMI with ARC allows everything to be transmitted in both directions with just one cable: video and audio out, and audio back.
Powerful bass requires large enclosures, but these often don't match the sleek TVs of today. That's why your soundbar shares the workload: the slim soundbar handles the high frequencies, while the bass is delivered wirelessly from the subwoofer.
Features include Bluetooth audio, lip sync correction (0 - 200 ms), 6 sound modes, auto power with audio detection, a wireless subwoofer, and ARC (Audio Return Channel).

Source: GalaxusInsgesamt ist die Sound bar nicht nur das Geld wert, sondern bietet einen ausgewogenen Sound mit einem kabellosen Subwoofer. Einzig das Fehlen einer Internetanbindung ist hier kritikfähig. Allerdings kann der Nutzer auch per Bluetooth Musikdaten von Smartphone und Co. wiedergeben.
Der Testsieger punktet mit sehr klaren und sauberen Höhen sowie zahlreichen Möglichkeiten Einstellungen manuell vorzunehmen. Zwar ist der Bass nicht ganz präzise bei seiner Arbeit aber dennoch überzeugt das System mit drahtlosem Subwoofer sowie vielen Anschlüssen.
