About this deal

Hear the precise location of a helicopter landing or feel the sound of rain falling from above and surrounding you. The Q700A combines true Dolby Atmos and DTS:X with our highly awarded market leading technology to take your audio visual experience to a breathtaking new level of realism. The sounds of sport, music and everything else comes alive in the 3D space that surrounds you, placing you in the heart of all the action. For the two main channels the Q700A is using a single round woofer in combination with an oval one. The center channel uses a single tweeter while for Atmos there are two round woofers. The Q700B is designed with larger screens in mind (55-inches upwards). It measures 44 inches / 1111mm wide.

You don't need several remotes. Control key soundbar functions like power, volume, and even sound effects with the Samsung TV remote - right from your TV. The HDMI output supports both ARC and eARC meaning that you can pass-through all kinds of audio from the TV including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X if your TV supports such functionality. The HDMI ports also support both Dolby Vision and HDR10+ pass-through in case you worry about that. In terms of wireless capabilities the unit comes with both WiFi and Bluetooth connections.

We found the HW-Q700B also doubles as a decent music speaker. It’s hi-res audio capable, and sounds fine with all streaming sources. We’ve been told by Samsung that it’ll work with Spotify Hi-Fi, whenever that comes to market. The soundbar offers everything we were expecting from Samsung. It is not the most feature complete unit we have tested, and some omissions will certainly hurt its practicality overall, but what is there works very good and will suffice for most users. Initial Setup Prices valid in stores (all including VAT) until close of business on 28th November 2023. (Some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online.) Last but not least is the subwoofer which includes a front-firing driver for the low frequencies which we vastly prefer in comparison to the side-firing one we saw in the Q950A.

If your TV’s sound is leaving you flat, find the perfect tonic with the Samsung HW-Q700’s immersive sound.The last thing you have to do is select the appropriate sound mode. Here you can either choose one according to the material being played or if you are the kind of person that just wants to leave the settings alone then you can use the Adaptive mode and let the soundbar determine the best audio mode to be used each time. audio immersion is good, to a point. The adoption of decent drivers for Atmos height channels warrants an unambiguous thumbs-up. Last year’s Acoustic Beam solution did the job, but on this model those dedicated drivers bring clear benefits when it comes to relating detail and creating presence. Audio upscaling of stereo and 5.1 sources is impressive too. With Atmos capabilities the top layer felt more alive but keep in mind that the kind of Atmos effects you get here are not on par with what a full Atmos system can offer. Atmos sounds will feel elevated compared to the rest of the action but height depends not only the the soundbar’s capabilities but also on the design of your room. The unit also gets Airplay 2 support which was missing from last year’s releases. With this you can stream music from any Apple device with the use of third party streaming services. If you are an Apple guy then you will surely find this one handy. use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity.

Despite its inability to support voice assistants, it is compatible with the Samsung SmartThings app, allowing you to control a number of the bar’s features. That includes the sound enhancement features in which you can adjust bass and enhance dialogue. Connectivity The whole system is rated at 330 watts of output power so let’s brake this number down. The main unit is rated at 170 watts with a (30 W x 4) + (20 W x 2) + 10 W) configuration while the subwoofer comes at 160 watts. ConnectivityInevitably, what you don’t get is a sense of front to rear movement, or side-fills. This is more a consequence of the soundbar form factor than anything else. For full surround sound, you can’t beat actual physical speakers placed at the rear of a room. Samsung has gone for a more angular design with its 2022 soundbars, which is distinctive if not overtly fashionable (softer curves are more on trend, we feel). Overall build quality is fine, but there’s no nice acoustic fabric on show, this is very much a sliver of hard plastic.

HDMI eARC is the preferred method of connection for this, and it includes a 4K HDR HDMI passthrough port, so you don't lose the use of a port on your TV. The HW-Q700A looks like a decent offering with many things we would call as standards in this performance category. It is its actual output quality that will make or break this unit so without further delay let’s start our analysis… The Q700A also comes with Bluetooth connectivity. First of all you have the ability to stream audio from any mobile device through a Bluetooth connection. Also if you don’t want to mess with cables you have the ability to connect it to your TV through Bluetooth if your TV also can support such a connection. Just keep in mind that you cannot have both your TV and a mobile device connected at the same time. It’s either the TV or a Bluetooth device at a time.Samsung soundbar analyses the sound signal to automatically deliver optimized sound based on each scene. Adaptive Sound lets you hear voices clearly even on low volumes so even quiet conversations are heard. Overall the HW-Q700A comes with the typical design and build quality you should expect from a Samsung soundbar in this price range. Nothing that will impress you but will not disappoint you either. We liked that this one includes a full display as the one we saw in the Q950A certainly left us with a bitter taste. Internal Hardware Seamless synergy between Samsung TV and Samsung soundbar. Optimized sound for clarity and immersion from the soundbar based on the analysis processed by your Samsung TV. The unit fared as good as you would expect from such a device. There were no real disappointments here but no surprises either. It felt like the Q700A played it safe and to be honest this is how it should be. The front soundstage was very satisfying without pushing the physical limits of the soundbar itself. Sound imaging was good enough and the unit provided enough transparency for the hardware it comes with.
