Read our full Samsung Q800B review for more. It's just an excellent all-rounder, and does this without being ridiculously massive – it's the right size for TVs of 49 inches and up.

It also has an optical connection you can use instead of HDMI for older TVs, and includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth music streaming, plus it has Alexa built-in, so it acts as a smart speaker. It has an HDMI input, as well as an HDMI connection to your TV, so if you have an Atmos-enabled external box – such as a Blu-ray player or Apple TV box – you can plug that straight into the soundbar and you'll get real Dolby Atmos sound even though your TV doesn't support it. And Samsung sells separate wireless rear speakers, so you can turn it into a genuine surround system later, if you want. It works with Samsung Q Symphony, so if you have a compatible TV, its audio can get even bigger and more impressive. And it's capable of audio that's big and punchy but is plenty refined too. With Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, this soundbar has actual upward-firing tweeters, so you get a real wall of sound from it, with impressive positional audio – there's a strong sense of things coming from a particular point, and a kinetic feel to moving sounds. This is a 5.1.2-channel soundbar, meaning that it aims to add lots of width, Dolby Atmos height, and big impact from its wireless subwoofer. If you want something compact that still has a big sound and wide dynamic range, the Samsung HW-Q800B is what you need. Your bass, your mids, and your highs are all catered for in a single system, and the speakers are able to get up to a substantial level of volume as well.

Considering you get both a main soundbar and a subwoofer included in the package, you really are making sure you get the most from your money. What really makes this a great buy, though, is the price. Its aesthetics are very easy on the eye as well, and has the sort of subtle and stylish looks that mean it can fit comfortably under just about any Samsung TV. As you can tell from our Denon DHT-S316 review, this is a budget soundbar with a lot to give: it's going to do the primary job of a soundbar, which is to push out audio of a significantly superior quality than your TV's built-in speakers can manage, even if it does leave out several more advanced features in order to keep the overall price down.īesides very decent sound quality, you also know you're getting a good fit and finish from your soundbar when the Denon name is attached, and that's certainly true when it comes to the DHT-S316.
