Samsung Soundbar

Samsung Soundbar

Samsung soundbars range from a simple 2.0 channel all-in-one bar up to 5.1 and 5.1.2 channel systems with a wireless subwoofer and Dolby Atmos height channels for a more immersive, cinema-style sound. The B Series covers entry to mid-range channel counts from 2.0 up to 5.1, while the S800D Ultra Slim Lifestyle model prioritises a slimmer profile with Dolby Atmos support for a more discreet setup under a TV. Wireless rear speakers are available separately for Q and S Series soundbars, adding true surround sound to a system that started as a simple front bar and subwoofer.

Channel count is the main spec to compare: a 2.1 setup suits a simple stereo upgrade over TV speakers, while a 5.1 or higher setup with height channels suits a dedicated home cinema wanting a more immersive sound. Checking whether a soundbar supports Q-Symphony matters for pairing with a compatible Samsung TV's own speakers for combined output.

See the wider Samsung range for TVs to pair with a soundbar, or soundbars for other brands.

Samsung bars are bought with Samsung televisions, particularly where Q-Symphony matters, so they move in the same window as the TVs: Black Friday and Cyber Monday bring the deepest cuts of the Irish year in both. Buying the bar in the same order as the set is almost always cheaper than adding it in January. Prices are live all year, so see what is reduced now on TVs on sale, or the Black Friday soundbar deals when the November weekend comes round.
