Samsung, a leader in the soundbar market for over 12 years, is adding three new models to its range: the Samsung HW-QS90H, HW-Q930H, and HW-Q990H. From the compact all-in-one model to the 11.1.4-channel wireless home theater, the brand strengthens its catalog with wireless Dolby Atmos, artificial intelligence for acoustic optimization, ultra-comprehensive connectivity and, above all, a progressive rise in immersion.
Samsung HW-Q990H: the ultimate home theater experience
Positioned at the top of the range, the Samsung HW-Q990H soundbar embodies the manufacturer’s most ambitious vision. With its 11.1.4-channel system and 23 drivers, it recreates a true three-dimensional sound environment, capable of rivaling traditional home theater installations. The wireless rear speakers play a central role here. They don’t just add surround effects, but also play a full part in spatial imaging thanks to their lateral and vertical drivers. The subwoofer, equipped with two active woofers, delivers deep, powerful bass, providing impressive support for soundtracks, video games and concerts.
Wireless Dolby Atmos and DTS:X compatible, the Samsung Q990H soundbar features dual HDMI 2.1 inputs with 120Hz 4K support, making it an ideal solution for cinema enthusiasts and gamers alike. It features Q-Symphony technology to synchronize the soundbar with the drivers on compatible Samsung TVs, SpaceFit Sound Pro acoustic calibration, and the brand’s latest AI-assisted algorithms to optimize playback according to the program you’re watching.

Samsung HW-Q930H: immersion over 9.1.4 channels
Just below the Q990H, the Samsung HW-Q930H soundbar features much of the DNA of the flagship model, with a more accessible but still highly immersive approach. It adopts a 9.1.4-channel configuration with 17 drivers, a wireless subwoofer, and rear speakers. In practice, this architecture already delivers true three-dimensional surround sound, with excellent channel separation and convincing spatial imaging. The height effects of the vertical drivers add an extra dimension to films and TV series. The subwoofer, more compact than previous generations, retains its impact, while the rear speakers significantly enhance immersion compared to a single soundbar.
The Samsung HW-Q930H soundbar also incorporates artificial intelligence optimization technologies such as SpaceFit Sound Pro and AVA Pro, guaranteeing a sound reproduction that’s always adapted to the room and the content being viewed. It is possible to connect external sources via HDMI 2.1 or the optical input, while the HDMI eARC output allows you to directly receive the audio from the program you’re watching on the TV. As with the three models in the 2026 range, you can listen to music via AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth or Spotify Connect, and voice control is possible thanks to Alexa integration.
Key features

Samsung HW-QS90H: power in all-in-one format
With the Samsung HW-QS90H soundbar, the manufacturer offers a more compact alternative, designed for those looking for a simple, elegant, high-performance solution without multiplying components. This soundbar adopts a 7.1.2-channel configuration, with 13 drivers and four integrated woofers. Unlike the higher-end models, it operates without a subwoofer or rear speakers while retaining the possibility of adding optional external models for users wishing to go further.
Its main asset is its convertible design. Thanks to a gyroscopic sensor, it automatically adapts sound diffusion depending on whether it’s placed on a piece of furniture or mounted on the wall. It also benefits from Dolby Atmos wireless technology with compatible Samsung TVs, SpaceFit Sound Pro for acoustic calibration, and AI optimizations for a consistently immersive experience without complex settings. In terms of connectivity, Samsung has opted for a single HDMI eARC input and an optical port.
Key features
- 7.1.2-channel system, 13 drivers
- All-in-one soundbar (without subwoofer or rear speakers)
- Wireless Dolby Atmos, DTS Virtual:X
- Gyroscopic sensor for automatic adjustment
- HDMI eARC
- Q-Symphony
- SpaceFit Sound Pro, AVA Pro
- Chromecast, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect
With its 2026 lineup, Samsung offers a particularly cohesive range, structured around three levels of immersion. The HW-Q990H is clearly aimed at the most discerning users, with a comprehensive 11.1.4-channel home theater experience. The HW-Q930H represents an excellent compromise, retaining the essence of immersive performance (9.1.4 channels) in a more accessible format. Finally, the HW-QS90H is designed for those who prioritize simplicity and seamless integration without sacrificing rich, immersive sound.
