SeekerSamsung HW-Q800B
The Samsung HW-Q800B is great for mixed usage. It's a really versatile bar, with a neutral default sound that makes it suitable for listening to everything from music to movies to TV shows. Dialogue is clearly and accurately reproduced, and the sub brings plenty of rumble in the bass for music and movies. You have lots of tools on hand to customize its sound, too, including a 7-band graphic EQ and presets. While it supports a lot of audio formats, the lack of rear speakers means it doesn't sound quite as immersive as Samsung's top models. That said, it's still a good alternative if you don't have space in your setup for discrete rears.

The HW-Q800B delivers yet another impressive immersive performance for a Samsung soundbar, delivering a big, wide and spacious sound and powerful bass performance. With scope to add rear speakers and the Q800B less tied to needing a QLED TV to draw out its best performance, it offers a friendlier path to creating an Atmos home cinema system than Samsung’s previous mid-range effort.
