And it supports Samsung's Q Symphony feature for adding even more speaker power, which absolutely makes it the best soundbar for Samsung TVs – as well as the best option for any other model. You can stream music over Apple AirPlay 2 or Bluetooth. It supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, so any 3D system is good to go. There are two HDMI inputs, as well as the connection to the TV. We also said the audio is 'phenomenally powerful, detailed, dynamic and aggressive'.īeyond the stunning dome of sound it produces, it's also really well-equipped for features overall. In combination, it becomes what our full Samsung HW-Q950A review called 'a total beast, bringing the most complete and impactful Dolby Atmos 3D effect we've heard from anything to date'. The subwoofer delivers exactly the kind of deep bass you want, without getting ridiculous. Each rear speaker includes two surround channels (adding more precise positional sound than the Samsung HW-Q950T further down this list) as well as an upfiring driver of its own. The soundbar delivers seven channels of surround sound (using angled drivers to bounce audio to the left and right to create real width), plus two upfiring drivers for height channels. The system comprises a soundbar that's the right size for TVs of 55 inches and up, a subwoofer, and two small rear speaker units, all of which communicate wirelessly.
