Product Gallery
Product Overview
HW-Q700A is a 3.1.2-channel soundbar with wireless subwoofer in Samsung's 2021 Q-series. It is a successor to the HW-Q70T from 2020, adding primarily compatibility with the new SWA-9500S wireless rear speakers.
Compared to the HW-Q600A, the HW-Q700A actually backtracks in the power department. On the plus side, it adds WiFi connectivity. The SWA-9500S wireless rear speakers that it is compatible with has up-firing Dolby Atmos speakers, though the HW-Q700A has one fewer driver inside.
For those who wish for more power, Samsung also markets the HW-Q800A for 2021.

Reviewer score 43%The Samsung HW-Q700A is good for mixed usage. It has a balanced mid-range that can reproduce vocals and lead instruments clearly. However, it struggles to reproduce a thumpy, punchy bass, which can be disappointing if you like bass-heavy music and action-packed movies. It supports Dolby Atmos, though, which is handy for movie fans.
