  • Outstandingly powerful sound, Unprecedented channel support, Tasteful and slender design
  • Expensive for a soundbar, Unhelpfully positioned display, No auto-calibration system
  • The Q950T sees Samsung retain its place at the top of the 3D audio soundbar league. It combines Samsung's customary fearsome power with enhanced precision and dynamism by providing 14 separate channels of sound. Plus, its slimmer shape will see it fit und...

  • Extremely present centre channel, Room-filling sound, Excellent feature set,
  • Rears can be distracting, Subwoofer not well integrated, Not the most nuanced or dynamic,
  • (Image credit: Samsung)With plenty of sonic vigour, features and, of course, speakers, the Q950A offers a potent listening experience.We'd prefer if all that driver power could be more coherently harnessed and it's certainly not the most nuanced or spacio...

  • Hugely powerful movie playback, Remarkably well-rounded Dolby Atmos soundstage, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ passthrough
  • Expensive compared to rivals, Poorly positioned display, A little unrefined with music
  • While the number of audio channels a home cinema sound system has isn't everything, it certainly helps. It's fair to say, then, that Samsung's HW-Q950A soundbar hits the ground running by delivering no less than 16 separate channels of sound. The new rear...

  • Useless visual display, Hefty size and price
  • Yes, it offers the best immersion shy of a multi-speaker setupCredit: Reviewed/Jackson Ruckar Samsung's Q950A is big, brutish, and shockingly priced for a soundbar. You can literally get seven or eight 5.1 bars from your local Costco for its full price. B...
