The Samsung HW-A450 is a budget-friendly 2.1 setup from 2021. Out-of-the-box, it has a neutral sound profile with a touch of extra boom. If you prefer a different sound, it also has quite a few sound enhancement features like a graphic EQ and presets. However, it still lacks low-bass, even after calibrating it. That said, the bar can get loud without too much compression. It has a simple design with an Optical In and USB port. It also supports Bluetooth for wireless streaming from your mobile device. However, it doesn’t support Dolby Atmos, and its surround performance is poor.
