At the core of these new soundbars is a significantly upgraded AI Sound Engine. It constantly processes what’s being played and adjusts the sound accordingly. So whether you’re watching an action film, catching the evening news, or just streaming a playlist, the audio is tuned in real time to match the mood and environment.
Two companion features take this a step further. Active Voice Amplifier Pro helps bring dialogue to the forefront, especially in noisy rooms. It detects background noise and enhances human speech from the content, making conversations more audible. Then there’s Dynamic Bass Control, designed to deliver rich low-end sound without the typical distortion you get when pushing the volume.
“Samsung’s new soundbars complement our premium TV ecosystem that now comes with Vision AI,” said Viplesh Dang, Senior Director and Head of Visual Display Business at Samsung India. “This range is a masterclass in precision sound engineering, offering unmatched versatility in an ultra-slim form.”
Design tweaks also stand out this year. The Convertible Fit Design features a built-in Gyro Sensor that senses how the soundbar is positioned, whether flat on a tabletop or mounted on a wall. It then adjusts the direction of the audio output to best suit the setup.
A big design win is the new wireless subwoofer, now just 6.5 inches in size. At 58% smaller than the previous model, it’s surprisingly discreet yet still packs powerful bass.
When paired with a compatible Samsung TV, the soundbars can take advantage of Q-Symphony Pro, a feature that synchronizes the TV speakers and the soundbar for a layered and more immersive audio experience. And thanks to Wireless Dolby Atmos support, users can enjoy cinematic 3D sound without needing extra HDMI cables, simplifying both setup and cable management.
On the smart side, the soundbars are ready to fit into a connected ecosystem. They support SmartThings, Alexa, Google Assistant, Chromecast, AirPlay, and are Roon Ready for those who care about high-fidelity streaming.
The 2025 soundbar series is now available in India. Prices range from ₹14,990 for entry-level models to ₹92,990 for the top-tier HW-Q990F. Customers can find them on Samsung’s official website, leading online platforms, and major offline electronics stores across the country.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
