Samsung HW-QS700F SOUNDBAR Review: Smart Rotation & Atmos in a Stylish Package

#soundbar #samsung #dolbyatmos #review

The HW-Q990F may be Samsung’s flagship soundbar for 2025, but the HW-QS700F offers a different approach—ideal for smaller spaces and for those who prefer a sleek, modern design.

Thanks to an integrated gyroscope, the soundbar can detect its orientation and automatically adjust the roles of its speakers. The new HW-QS700F is a 3.1.2 channel soundbar (with a total of 8 speakers) that can be placed either horizontally (on a shelf) or vertically (mounted on a wall).

Depending on its position, the speaker roles change: on a shelf, the front speakers act as expected, but once mounted vertically, they switch roles with the Atmos speakers—clever, right?

It supports Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual:X and introduces the new Eclipsa Audio system. It also comes with a cube-shaped wireless subwoofer that features a 7-inch active driver and an 8-inch passive radiator.

The HW-QS700F includes Dynamic Bass Control for enhanced low frequencies and supports major streaming systems like AirPlay, Google Cast, Roon Ready, and SmartThings. It also includes Spacefit Sound Pro for automatic room calibration.

With Q-Symphony support, it syncs with Samsung TVs for a harmonized audio experience. Connectivity-wise, it offers two HDMI with eARC (limited to 4K/60Hz), and an optical input for versatility.

Physically, it measures 1160mm in length, 51mm in thickness, and 120mm in depth—providing different spatial profiles depending on its installation.
