  • PositiveBest sound in the test, good equipment
  • NegativeFabric cover magically attracts dust and lint

The Samsung Q950A sounds clean, dry and undistorted and wraps the viewer nicely in the film atmosphere. The subwoofer contributes powerful bass, and effect boxes are also included. Music playback works well via AirPlay and Spotify Connect.

Rank 8 out of 22Stiftung WarentestSoundbars im Test - Filmreifer Ton für den FernseherReleaseAugust 2022

We do not only expect good music and speech reproduction from soundbars. Film effects and compressed streams via Bluetooth must also be well implemented...
