Samsung’s flagship 11.1.4-channel soundbar should sound seriously good, boasting Dolby Atmos object-based audio and innovative rear speakers.
Samsung has announced a bevy of new high-spec Q-Series soundbars for 2021, including the 11.1.4-channel HW-Q950A, which comes with Dolby Atmos support and some seriously innovative rear speakers. Unlike most soundbar setups, the included wireless rear speakers each come with a side-firing channel, blasting your music or TV audio at you from every angle in conjunction with the bar’s upfiring tweeters. The Samsung HW-Q950A also comes with a wireless subwoofer that features a built-in microphone. This mic allows the subwoofer to scan the room and calibrate the sound accordingly, so it should sound great wherever you place it. With many soundbars, including the Sonos Arc, you have to walk around your room waving your smartphone around in the air to properly calibrate it to its surroundings, so this feature will be a welcome improvement for those that want a simple setup.
