FOR Large, spacious sound; vast streaming support
AGAINST Tough competition; size won’t suit everyone
Much like the homo sapiens referenced in David Bowie’s classic Oh! You Pretty Things, premium soundbars have outgrown their original use. No longer confined to simply boosting your flatscreen TV's sound, some of them now qualify as complete streaming systems in their own right.
When it comes to connectivity, the Samsung HW-MS750 has it all. Alongside the typical soundbar connections – 4K and HDR pass-through, HDMI sockets and optical and 3.5mm inputs – the MS750 also comes with built-in Bluetooth and wi-fi, the latter of which opens this soundbar up to a world of online music streaming.

Using the free Samsung Wireless Audio- Multiroom app, you can play from music services including Tidal, Spotify, TuneIn, Deezer and Qobuz, and NAS drives – although the app had some problems delving into all our folders.
The HW-MS750’s versatility doesn’t stop there. Owners of compatible Samsung TVs can connect them wirelessly to the soundbar. A Samsung TV remote can also operate the soundbar, although the supplied wand is just as nice to use, with its thin, roughly hand-length size and positively acting buttons.
An optional mount kit can also fix the soundbar to a TV, allowing one cable to power both.
