I believe this is a clearance price at Costco. I just ordered online, may be available in store as well.

Electronics manufacturers like to do that so they don't have Costco competing with their regular retail stores, or the stores will demand the same item deal.
True, a bunch of poor reviews on Samsung's own site:

I have a new Samsung TV and was looking for Q-Symphony e-ARC and Dolby Atmos. This does indeed have Q-Symphony but might wait it out for something with Dolby Atmos (and maybe e-ARC), that won't cost huge amounts.
Isn't this configuration a little strange, offerring "5.1" without 2 rear speakers? Simulated I suppose, but I don't think it would have the same result.
An commenter noticed theirs connected as "Samsung Q60T". It's a very similar soundbar. They're almost identical except for a very small differences. Looks like the Q6T is one year older and a tiny bit better. https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/t...shold=0.10
I think soundbars are all being uprgraded at the moment to support newer features that are being demanded by more recent buyers of large TVs. There will be an ongoing clearout of the older models that don't support things like Dolby Atmos.

I didn't have any dropouts but I could never get a consistent volume. Whether I was switching videos on YouTube or Netflix, or watching TV, I was constantly adjusting the volume because it was too soft or too loud. There was no way to get an idea of a good general volume level. It was upgrade over my cheap Vizio 2.1 sound bar but I returned it.
Did you use it with a Samsung TV? If so, just wondering if 'adaptive sound' helped or hindered. Did you try Q-Symphony mode to help boost a center channel (talking).
Did you try playing with the different sound modes to get better results?
I'm just wondering if some of the returns are due to challenges in getting just the right setting. Sadly, that may mean constantly adjusting modes, etc., when changing sound imputs or even channels (ugg).
If you indeed see "eARC" on the input label, can you double check your model number on the back to be sure we're talking about the same exact model.

Didn't get any drops.
Can't get consistent volume from switching apps/players and sound quality is less than impressive to me at a $450 tier.
Taking this back to Costco this week because of it.

Did you upgrade to the latest firmware? I thought I read that there were earlier firmware issues.
Did you experiment with all the different sound modes (Standard, Game, etc.)?
It's not going back to a higher price. Soundbars seem to be clearing out everywhere for newer models. It seems that the soundbar industry went from too few to too many as a result of the supply chain slingshot. People bought a lot of TVs recently which came with newer features (e.g. Atmos). Soundbars with those features are going for significantly more so all suppliers will want to take advantage of those larger profit margins.
At $150 it comes with wireless sub, HDMI, mounting kit, it's worth a try, worst case send back to Costco.
You're right that Costco also gets a unique model deal so that Samsung doesn't anger the other retailers on pricing. But sometimes it's not a perfect equivalent.
It'll be interesting to see if this soundbar sells out, or drops more in price to a lower clearance level (depending on sales).
