Product Overview
HW-Q800T is a 3.1.2-channel soundbar in Samsung's 2020 premium Q-series lineup. It features eight drivers and supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X digital audio processing for a virtual surround experience.

Sentiment Score 81%At $750, the Q800T isn't cheap, especially when you consider the lack of surround speakers. The subwoofer nearly stole the show, producing some of the best low end I've heard from a soundbar woofer this year. Music playback was also solid, thanks in part to the soundbar's support for a wide variety of formats.

Cons

- No Dolby Vision

Sentiment Score 87%The Samsung HW-Q800T uses Samsung’s Acoustic Beam 2.0 to create the overhead channels. The wide-range tweeters in the front-firing speakers also add width to the the overall presentation, creating an expansive soundstage. The well-integrated subwoofer also lays down a solid foundation of bass that supports the system with improved weight and dynamism.
