According to our soundbar expert
With the Samsung HW-Q700A, you can really experience your movies and series. This 3.1.2-channel soundbar has Dolby Atmost technology. This technology echoes the sound from the soundbar to your listening position via the ceiling. This way, the sound of your favorite movies and series comes to life. Thanks to the subwoofer, you can enjoy a full bass representation in addition to the clear sound of the soundbar. The microphone in the soundbar measures the acoustics of the room, so that SpaceFit technology can adjust the sound accordingly. This allows you to move the soundbar without too much effect on the sound quality. Do you have a Samsung TV that has Q-Symphony at home? This technique ensures that the sound of the TV and soundbar are simultaneous. That way, you can enjoy a full sound reproduction. Do you want to listen to music? You can easily stream you playlists from Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast, or Spotify Connect.
Note: you can use the Google Chromecast built-in after the software update on 13 August.

With the Samsung HW-Q700A I enjoy cinema sound in my living room. The installation of the bar is done in no time and the virtual Dolby Atmos technology has positively surprised me. Together with the subwoofer, the soundbar provides a full and spacious sound. What is disappointing to me is the lack of the optical cable. This must be purchased separately if the TV does not have an HDMI input.
Hassle-free connection The bar comes with an HDMI cable that I connect to the HDMI arc port of the television. I also connect the adapter and two power cables to the soundbar and subwoofer. Connecting it speaks for itself, because I immediately see which cable belongs to which port. I see that no optical cable is included with the bar. You have to buy this cable separately if the TV does not have an HDMI arc input.
Installed quickly I grab the manual to start with the installation. I connect the soundbar and subwoofer by pressing the pairing button on both devices. The indicator on the back of the subwoofer stops flashing and remains lit. This means that the pairing was successful. The entire installation is quick and easy. All together it takes about 10 minutes.
In the middle of the action I am very curious about the virtual Dolby Atmos technology. Virtual Dolby Atmos means that the sound is sent to your listening position without the help of rear speakers. I watch a series that supports Dolby Atmos. The sound sounds like I'm in the cinema and seems to come from all sides. Soon I'm completely into the episode and I'm absorbed in the sound. I did not expect this because it concerns virtual Dolby Atmos. In addition to Dolby Atmos, the soundbar also plays DTS:X.
Personalize the sound With the remote control I choose from different modes such as surround, gaming and standard. With this I adjust the sound to what I am watching, playing or listening to. Because I play music via my iPhone, I stream via Apple Airplay 2. The soundbar has more streaming options than just Airplay. Namely bluetooth, Spotify Connect and Google Chromecast. I think the surround mode sounds spacious and pleasant. The gaming mode sounds crisp and clear, I especially like the detail in sound that comes out more strongly than with the other modes. The default sound mode sounds flat. I wouldn't use standard mode again anytime soon. As for the sound experience, the other modes have more to offer. In addition to the different modes, I also set the bass, treble, center and subwoofer as I want. I myself have an LG TV, so I haven't been able to try Q-Symphony.
Powerful bass sound I really like the subwoofer. The sound is lively, without the bass being overpowering. When I turn on songs within different genres, I notice that the bass is present in every genre in the right way. I don't hear too much bass, but I do hear a nice full reproduction of the deepest tones.

Crystal clear sound that blows you out of your seat on the bios setting. But also at a normal volume very nice sound.
