Samsung HW-Q950T

More of a ‘home cinema in a box’ than a simple soundbar, but that gives it a really big sound

As a big, comprehensive Dolby Atmos soundbar, the Samsung HW-Q950T aims to create the effect of an elite 9.1.4 surround setup using four wireless boxes.

The soundbar itself is substantial, and extremely nicely finished. There’s no avoiding its 123cm size, nor its 7kg bulk. Samsung includes a bracket for wall-mounting – just be sure your wall is up to it. That kind of width means this is for 55-inch TVs at the absolute minimum – 58 inches and up is the sweet spot.
