Samsung Soundbar Ranges Explained
Soundbars have become popular additions to our TV setup and for good reason. Thanks to incredible advancements in sound technology, enjoying cinematic surround sound from the comfort of your own home is no longer a distant dream. In this guide, we’ll explore what you need to know about Samsung’s soundbars, as well as our top recommendations for the best soundbars available today.
What is a soundbar?
Put simply, a soundbar is an external speaker that delivers superior sound quality in the comfort of your own home. It is usually positioned under your TV and often includes a separate subwoofer and wireless rear speakers as part of the set-up. When in use, sound from your TV is transmitted through the external soundbar rather than the internal TV speakers. With the help of a powerful soundbar, you can replicate that cinematic feeling within your own home. They are easy to install and are a fantastic addition to any contemporary TV set-up.
Why do I need a soundbar?
Soundbars have become an essential part of any TV set-up as they amplify the sound quality of TVs even further. Soundbars are a perfect solution for those who don’t want to miss any action or struggle to hear all the dialogue. These intelligent sound systems are specifically designed to produce immersive surround sound within your space. So whether you're watching your favourite film or TV series, relaxing with music or enjoying an action-packed game, a soundbar can really bring your audio experience to life.
What is Q-Symphony?
Usually when you connect a TV to a soundbar, sound from the TV automatically switches off. But with Samsung’s unique Q-Symphony technology, it amplifies sound by combining the audio from your Samsung TV and soundbar so that you hear cinematic sound from both devices simultaneously.
What is Dolby Atmos?
Dolby Atmos is revolutionary sound technology that produces next level audio. Dolby Atmos soundbars contain specially designed speakers to create 3D sound from every direction, perfect for any room size. Dolby’s technology, together with Samsung’s soundbars, maximise the use of the speakers to deliver pin point sound effects within the room. This creates incredible levels of realism and therefore elevates your entertainment experience.
Do Samsung soundbars have Dolby Atmos?
Many of the latest Samsung soundbars include Dolby Atmos technology delivered wirelessly. This means you can sit back, relax and enjoy 3D cinematic sound as a cable-free solution. In fact, Dolby Atmos is now fully incorporated into all the latest Q-Symphony soundbars, so you can enjoy sound reimagined from the comfort of your own home.

A great place to start when it comes to deciding which soundbar is best, is to consider the Samsung series which best meets your requirements. You can find out which series a Samsung soundbar belongs to by looking at the first letter of the model. For example, a ‘Q’ signifies that the soundbar is part of the premium Samsung Q-Series, whereas a model that starts with ‘B’ or ‘C’ is part of Samsung’s entry level soundbar range. Here’s what you can expect from each soundbar series:
1. Q-Series Soundbar
Samsung's Q-Series soundbars, such as the incredible Q990C Q-Symphony 11.1.4ch offers some of the best audio experiences currently available on the market today with up to 22 speakers.
