According to our soundbar expert
The Samsung HW-Q70T/XN is the ideal basis for a home cinema with powerful audio. The set includes a soundbar and a subwoofer. While the soundbar ensures voices and dialogues sound detailed, the subwoofer produces bass. This puts extra focus on the sweeping sound effects of a thriller, for example. Thanks to the Dolby Atmos technology, the sound is reflected to your listening position via your ceiling. It will feel like you're in the middle of the movie. When you've switched off the TV and want to listen to music, you can easily switch to WiFi. That way, you can stream audio to the speakers wirelessly from your smartphone or tablet.
If you want to expand your set to surround sound, buy the Samsung SWA9000S rear speakers.

First impression I am curious about the large soundbar and supplied subwoofer from Samsung. The devices come in a large, L-shaped box. The soundbar and subwoofer are made of strong material, so I don't have the idea that they break quickly.
Installation The installation seems more difficult than it is in the end due to the many cables and thick manual. You just have to sink your teeth into it and grab the manual. But when everything is in place, the connection is quickly completed. I connect the soundbar via the hdmi arc port. The TV recognizes it immediately and in this way I can also use my own remote control for operation.
Sound The sound literally and figuratively blows me away. When there is an unexpected explosion I first think that the volume is not very loud, but nothing turns out to be less true. The balance between the small, sharp details and the hard, booming explosions is perfect. The Dolby Atmos technology makes the sound very spacious. Although I do think that you should purchase 2 more rear speakers for a complete surround experience.
Remote control and app I am very happy with the included, well-known Samsung remote control. I use this to adjust the bass from a thumping concert hall to a bass that doesn't bother the neighbors. I also easily switch to bluetooth or to another sound mode. You can use the Samsung SmartThings app to connect multiple devices or to operate the soundbar with your smartphone.
Expansion with rear speakers Because I like an intense movie experience, like being in the cinema, I think it would be fun to expand with the Samsung SWA-9000S Speaker Kit at a later date. The soundbar already spreads a beautiful, spatial sound thanks to Dolby Atmos. But you can only create real surround sound with extra rear speakers.

First impression: the soundbar looks very stylish, the mesh grill plate gives a special feeling. The first time setup and connection via the eHDMI was smooth, I like that the speaker detects the TV that is on and starts up very quickly (my old system took 10-15s and during that time I got no sound). The sound itself is a bit too "adaptive", sometimes it jumps too much, but with a little tuning it can sound quite impressive. The SmartThings app is decent, but I would expect to find more/easier options, especially for changing the source, while using it I often just used the remote. I'm not quite sure why Samsung chose to put the physical buttons on the back of the soundbar and the LCD on the narrow front, if the bar is under the TV you can't reach the buttons, and if it's on the wall you can't see the screen... placing the buttons on the side might have been a better choice. However, this and the app are two of the few negatives I have with the system, overall I'm quite impressed. With the right movies (that support Atmos) the sound is almost as good as a 5.1 system, the woofer isn't too obtrusive and yet it complements the bar nicely (I usually prefer turning up the volume a bit). lower it, but this time I didn't have to). The only thing I find important to get some "improvements" is the price, for me it would be a very good soundbar if it were in the 500EUR range
