Samsung HW-Q600F
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Samsung HW-S700D is an ultra-slim 3.1-channel soundbar that offers wireless Dolby Atmos and tight integration with Samsung QLED TVs via Q-Symphony. Its main trade-off is the need for precise wall-mounting and the lack of built-in voice-assistant support. Ideal for owners of wall-mounted Samsung TVs seeking high-performance, low-profile audio.
The Samsung HW-Q600F is a 3.1.2-channel soundbar featuring up-firing speakers, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, and a wireless subwoofer for immersive 3D audio. It lacks Wi-Fi streaming and a companion app, and room-calibration works only with Samsung TVs. Perfect for Samsung TV owners seeking premium surround sound without a high-end price tag.

The bar is lauded for its powerful bass from a compact subwoofer and clear dialogue thanks to the Active Voice Amplifier.
Everyday users consistently commend the soundbar's impressive Atmos immersion, deep bass, and minimalist design, noting that setup is generally easy. The most common complaints revolve around the need for precise wall-mounting and the absence of native voice-assistant support.
Professional reviewers praise the HW-Q600F for its solid out-of-the-box tuning, extensive Dolby and DTS format support, and the genuine 3D effect created by its physical up-firing speakers. They also highlight the value added by Samsung-specific features like Q-Symphony and SpaceFit Sound Pro, while noting limitations such as the lack of Wi-Fi streaming, absence of a companion app, and the fact that room-correction works only with Samsung TVs.
Everyday users are expected to appreciate the strong default sound quality, immersive height effects, and wide format compatibility, but may be frustrated by the Bluetooth‑only wireless option, the need for a Samsung TV to unlock room‑calibration, and the lack of a mobile app for easy adjustments.
“Wall mounting requires precise alignment (horizontal/lateral inch adjustments).”
