Samsung, a longstanding titan in audiovisual technology, has recently announced the launch of its two new flagship soundbars for 2025, which promise to revolutionize the home entertainment experience. These latest additions, the HW-Q990F and the HW-QS700F, not only continue Samsung’s tradition of excellence but also introduce significant innovations that set new benchmarks in sound technology.
Redefining Bass: The HW-Q990F Soundbar
At the forefront of the 2025 lineup is the Samsung HW-Q990F, a direct successor to the critically acclaimed HW-Q990D. This model debuts a radical shift in design with a new 300W cubic bass speaker that features an 8-inch dual active unit. This innovative subwoofer configuration allows drivers to sit on opposing sides, effectively reducing unwanted resonance and delivering a more powerful bass response, with frequencies as low as 32Hz. The compact size of this new subwoofer also ensures it can be seamlessly integrated into any living space without compromising on aesthetic appeal.
AI-Driven Sound Optimization
Samsung has further enhanced the HW-Q990F with a suite of AI-based sound optimization tools. The Dynamic Bass Control and an updated Active Voice Amplifier Pro system utilize real-time content analysis to refine sound output, focusing on reducing background noise and enhancing dialogue clarity. Moreover, the upgraded Q-Symphony feature now supports three additional wireless speakers and boasts a new Neural Processing Unit from Samsung’s latest TVs to synchronize and optimize audio across all components.
Versatile Design: The HW-QS700F Soundbar
The HW-QS700F, dubbed the ‘lifestyle’ soundbar, introduces a flexible, rotatable design that caters to both horizontal and vertical setups. This feature is perfect for modern minimalist decors, allowing the soundbar to either sit elegantly under a TV or hang in a sleek vertical arrangement on a wall. Equipped with gyro sensor technology, the HW-QS700F automatically adjusts its speaker output depending on its orientation, maintaining optimal sound quality whether it’s mounted or placed on a desktop.
Streamlined Yet Powerful
Although the HW-QS700F does not come with rear speakers, it includes an external wireless subwoofer that mirrors the cubic design introduced with the Q990F, ensuring robust bass performance in a slim profile. This model also supports the new Eclipsa 3D sound format from YouTube, alongside the established Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, making it as versatile as it is aesthetically pleasing.
Looking Forward
Expected to launch in the spring, the pricing details for these innovative soundbars remain under wraps. However, the anticipation is high, as these models represent a significant leap forward in Samsung’s audio technology. Both soundbars are designed not just to meet but to exceed the expectations of audiophiles and home cinema enthusiasts, promising an immersive audio experience that’s hard to rival.
