Samsung HW-Q70 soundbar review: Mid-range model gets immersive with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X

A soundbar with upfiring speakers designed for use with up to 65in tellies with included separate subwoofer. Big sound is only let down by one HDMI.

Impressive sound performance ; Upgraded subwoofer ; Dolby Atmos and DTS:X ; Easy setup ; Attractive and well made

Only one HDMI input ; Effects focused at the front ; No eARC support (for lossless audio return via HDMI)

The Samsung HW-Q70R is an excellent midrange soundbar and subwoofer combo that delivers a big and bold, if rather front-heavy Atmos and DTS:X performance. This makes it ideal for film fans and gamers, while the solid build quality and decent features...

Samsung HW-Q70R review:

The Samsung HW-Q60R is a fairly good sounding soundbar that performs well regardless of the content you play. This bar has a decent sound profile, but it does lack a bit of bass. On the upside, it can get pretty loud and performs well at max volume....

For a single speaker, the Samsung HW-Q70R offers excellent faux-surround effects, and the wireless subwoofer packs a punch. It supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, plus pass-through 4K HDR video. The system is attractive and well built.

Not all that convincing with music. The speaker lacks features found on cheaper rivals, including a voice assistant or Google Chromecast streaming.

The Samsung HW-Q70R is a Dolby Atmos soundbar with wonderfully enveloping sound for movies, but music lovers should look elsewhere.

Samsung HW-Q70R Soundbar Review

The Samsung HW-Q70R is a great 3.1.2 sounding soundbar with stereo content. It has great bass performance and has a neutral sound profile. It gets loud enough for most content and also performs without audible compression at max volume. Due to its...

Great audio reproduction. Very well-built design. Good for mixed usage. Many connection options.

Doesn’t play surround content. No auto-volume or night mode.

Good for mixed usage. The HW-Q70R has a great stereo sound profile with extra bass, which will be suitable for different types of content. Whether you listen to stereo music, audiobooks, or podcasts, this soundbar gets loud enough and has an accurate...

Samsung HW-Q70R soundbar review: This easy-to-install soundbar delivers Dolby Atmos and DTS:X

If you want to bring rich, detailed, and immersive sound into your living room with a minimum of components and fuss, Samsung's HW-Q70R soundbar should be near the top of your shopping list. At $700, the HW-Q70R is as pricey as some higher-end...

Easy setup Rich, detailed sound Convincing surround mode SmartThings and Alexa support

No support for eARC Remote can be a bit confusing On-screen setup requires a compatible Samsung TV

Yes, it’s pricey, but the Samsung HW-Q70R soundbar lets you add rich, detailed, and immersive sound, complete with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, to your TV in a matter of minutes. The HW-Q70R’s remote takes getting used to, and it’s annoying that you...

A great step up

Purchased this TV to replace an older Sony LED (43”). Not disappointed - set up was easy, the picture quality is excellent and the sound from the TV in surround sound mode is great. HD and UHD (HDR10+) make the scene come alive. Great connectivity...

Immersive sound from a slimline soundbar

The immersive sound in surround mode is quite impressive from this slimline soundbar The top mounted speakers push the "virtual' rear sound effects up and over you when playing 5.1 Dolby Digital movies. I have not tried any ATMOS media yet so cannot...
