The dilemma will be familiar to many home cinema fans: the sound of a flat screen TV is usually quite mediocre for crushing action or gripping fight scenes like in “Avengers: Endgame”. Only an external sound system can help. While high-end devices are a heavy burden on your wallet, very cheap soundbars offer hardly any more sound than flat screen TVs.
This is where the Samsung HW-Q710B soundbar comes into play. Because the compact 3.1.2 bar produces a great sound in combination with the massive subwoofer and is priced far below €400 thanks to the current discounts.
Samsung is currently offering you €55 cashback on the purchase price of €429.99. According to Adam Riese, this is ultimately a historically low amount of € 374.99 for the high-quality soundbar.
The small bolt is only six inches flat and does not protrude into the screen of most flat screen TVs. From a screen diagonal of 65 inches, the 111 centimeters wide soundbar even fits under the television if the feet are mounted on the outside. Alternatively, suitable brackets for possible wall mounting are included in the scope of delivery.
The best way to connect the HW-Q710B to your television is via an HDMI cable. This way you get the maximum spatial sound and you can adjust the volume with the remote control of your TV. The soundbar has its own HDMI connection and transmits the signals well. But keep in mind that it’s better to connect next-gen consoles like the Playstation 5 directly to your television, so you can use the full 120 Hertz.
In the bar itself, eight speakers provide a rich sound. Two of them are attached to the top and produce a very good surround sound in combination with the Dolby Atmos format. In general, the sound can be characterized as warm.
The HW-Q710B produces even better sound when connected to a Samsung television. Then the speakers of the TV are also used, which further improves the spatial sound.
Of course, the Samsung Soundbar can be connected to your smartphone via Bluetooth and also plays music and radio plays in excellent quality. For well under €400 you can hardly get a better soundbar at the moment.
