Product Overview

HW-Q60T is a 5.1-channel soundbar with wireless subwoofer in Samsung's 2020 premium Q-series lineup, among which it is the only model without Dolby Atmos support.
The subwoofer unit in the HW-Q60T is identical to that of the HW-Q70T. It can also be supplemented with wireless rear surround speakers, though a different model (SWA-8500S) without up-firing drivers (and hence Dolby Atmos compatibility) is supported, because the HW-Q60T does not offer Atmos support.
Like other 2020 Q-series soundbars, the HW-Q60T activates Q-symphony to play surround sound from both the TV and the soundbar, further improving the listening experience, when paired with Samsung's 2020 QLED TVs.

Reviewers from rtings have found:
The Samsung HW-Q60T is very good for dialogue-centric content like TV shows. Out-of-the-box, it reproduces a punchy bass, though its overall sound profile can also sound a bit dark and veiled. Its surround performance isn't very immersive, and it doesn't support Dolby Atmos content.
Pros
  • Very good for dialogue-centric content
  • Lots of sound enhancement features
  • Graphic EQ and presets
Cons
  • Poor surround performance
  • Doesn't support Wi-Fi, Chromecast built-in, or Apple AirPlay
