Samsung's HW-Q950A soundbar system carries a record-breaking number of channels – and it sounds absolutely awesome

Massively powerful, distortion-free movie soundtrack playback ; Creates a uniquely immersive sound stage ; Compact design for such a powerful system

Extremely present centre channel ; Room-filling sound ; Excellent feature set

Samsung HW-Q950A review: the ultimate Dolby Atmos soundbar experience

 

The Samsung HW-Q950A is an 11.1.4-channel monster of a soundbar, and it's the best audio upgrade available today

Hugely powerful sound ; Uniquely complete 3D soundstage ; Q-Symphony feature on Samsung TVs is great

Very premium price ; Better for movies than music ; No full auto-calibration system

The Samsung HW-Q950A combines of the power and precision of a high-quality separates system with the compact form factor of a soundbar – it's a spectacular success.
