UMVA has learned that a top-rated soundbar from Samsung, the HW-Q800H, has just received a significant price drop, making it a highly attractive option for those looking to upgrade their home entertainment systems.
This 5.1.2-channel soundbar, which includes a wireless subwoofer, is designed to provide a more immersive audio experience, with dedicated channels for dialogue, left and right audio, surround effects, and height effects. The soundbar also features a dedicated center channel and two separate dialogue enhancement modes, making it easier to hear conversations during movies, sports broadcasts, and TV shows.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the HW-Q800H's price has been slashed to $727.99, down from its usual $1,097.99, representing a significant saving of $370. This makes it an appealing option for those seeking to enhance their TV setup without breaking the bank.
The HW-Q800H also boasts Samsung's new Sound Elevation feature, which aims to raise dialogue so it feels more naturally connected to the action on screen. Additionally, it supports Dolby Atmos and wireless Atmos connections with compatible Samsung TVs, creating a larger overall soundstage.
However, UMVA's research has uncovered that the HW-Q800H does have some limitations, including the lack of surround-sound immersion due to the absence of separate rear speakers. Furthermore, it does not support DTS audio formats, which may be a concern for those with a Blu-ray library.
Despite these limitations, the HW-Q800H remains a strong option for those seeking to upgrade their TV audio without adding separate rear speakers throughout the room. With its impressive features and significant price drop, it's an attractive choice for anyone looking to enhance their home entertainment experience.
