Klipsch Cinema 400
Score: 73/100
Samsung HW-B400F
Score: 57/100Rankings
Klipsch Cinema 400 is a 2.1-channel soundbar that offers a robust 8-inch wireless subwoofer delivering strong bass and Tractrix horn-loaded tweeters for clear highs. The absence of Dolby Atmos and limited smart features make it less future-proof. Great for TV upgrades in apartments where space is limited but powerful bass is wanted.
The Samsung HW-B400F is a compact 2.0-channel soundbar with a built-in woofer that delivers solid bass for small spaces. It lacks a wireless subwoofer and advanced formats like Dolby Atmos, limiting immersive surround capabilities. Ideal for users seeking a simple, low-power sound solution for bedrooms or home offices.

Professional reviewers commend the Cinema 400 for its premium build, Tractrix horn technology, and powerful 8" wireless subwoofer that together deliver clear mids, detailed highs, and strong bass. They also appreciate the simple HDMI-ARC and wireless subwoofer setup, though they note the absence of true rear speakers and limited independent testing data.
Everyday users highlight the ease of installation and the convenience of Bluetooth music streaming, praising the low-profile design that fits neatly under TVs. With limited direct feedback, no major consumer complaints are evident beyond the typical desire for rear speakers.
Professional reviewers and editors are not present in the available sources; official Samsung listings emphasize the compact design, built‑in woofer and easy TV integration but provide no independent editorial assessment.
