MUO on MSN: Your soundbar is wasting its potential as just a TV speaker Unlock your soundbar's potential and maximize its value as a versatile tool for music, podcasts, relaxation, and more. Review of the Samsung HW-QS700F slimline 3.1.2 channel Dolby Atmos soundbar which features gyroscopic calculations for table and wall mounting options. The soundbar includes a white grid LCD display behind the front steel gauze which is a challenge to read and decipher initially, particularly when using the settings mode on the remote control.

Context Explanation

Clunky displays are a common gripe for budget soundbars and Majority has produced much better ones on earlier models. The Samsung HW-Q990F is the brand’s flagship soundbar for 2025. As usual with Samsung’s flagship soundbars, this means it comprises four components: The main soundbar, a wireless subwoofer, and two wireless rear speakers. These deliver, as we’ve again come to expect, a mighty 11.1.4 channel count, delivered by 23 separate speakers.

Insight Material

Review of the Bang & Olufsen Beosound Premiere Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and Wide Stage technology The Bravia Theatre Bar 8 is Sony’s new upper mid-range single-component soundbar, sitting one rung down from the brand’s brilliant new Bar 9 flagship. It’s smaller than the Bar 9, squeezes ‘only’ 11 speaker units into its compact form versus the Bar 9’s 13, and is inevitably less powerful. In most other ways that matter, though, it actually keeps up with the Bar 9 surprisingly well. The Samsung HW-S800D is a two-piece soundbar package comprising a main, multi-channel soundbar and a wireless subwoofer. The S part of its name alerts us to the fact that it’s one of Samsung’s design-oriented soundbars - though this fact is also abundantly obvious as soon as you set eyes on its almost crazily slender main bar.
