Meanwhile the Q800A replacement will upgrade from 3.1.2 to 5.1.2, thanks to the addition of side-firing drivers on the main soundbar. Samsung will also add more drivers to other, lower spec models in the Q soundbar range, so the replacement for last yearвЂ™s Q900 will step up from a 7.1.2 channel system to 9.1.2 channels, courtesy of new surrounds with front-facing drivers. Samsung is also launching a step-down model, the HW-Q930B, which is a 9.1.4 channel system, as its surrounds lose the side-firing drivers. For 2022 however, there will be a revamped subwoofer.

Like its predecessor, itвЂ™s an 11.1.4 channel Dolby Atmos/DTS:X system with upward-firing and side-firing speakers in the main soundbar unit and also the separate surrounds. Reports from FlatpanelsHD and Techhive claim SamsungвЂ™s flagship 2022 soundbar is the HW-Q990B, replacing last yearвЂ™s HW-Q950A.

WhatвЂ™s more, from SamsungвЂ™s announcement thereвЂ™s no need to purchase an accessory to enjoy this capability, as is necessary with LG Electronics's soundbars, for example. So anyone who buys one of SamsungвЂ™s more affordable QN80B Neo QLED TVs, or a superior model, will be able to enjoy immersive Dolby Atmos sound without needing to use an HDMI cable to connect their soundbar. It's one of the best-sounding вЂ™bars on the market, and is again great for music, and has smart assistants built in, however it has some connectivity limitations that may mean it's not the best option for some people вЂ“ our Sonos Arc review gives you all the details.Samsung Electronics has embraced Dolby Atmos surround sound with its latest soundbars, which will be able to receive wireless multichannel audio from most of its 2022 TVs. The Sonos Arc is a bigger soundbar, suited to TVs of 55 inches and above, and is very much a home cinema bar, packing in 11 speakers, including some upfiring drivers for real Dolby Atmos. It's not as cinematic as the Sony HT-G700, but the smart speaker features and excellent music streaming (and playback quality) make it a truly superb choice, and it's more compact.

You can even turn it into a full wireless surround system later by adding more Sonos speakers to the room, but you can start with just this well-priced soundbar. The Sonos Beam is our pick for the soundbar that most people with small TVs should probably go for вЂ“ it's an ideal mix of powerful and clean sound, subtle and chic looks in black or white, and smart features including multi-room music playback and microphones for Amazon Alexa/Google Assistant.

Basically, if you want a big cinematic sound for the least money, this is the one to go for. It uses the digital processing magic to create a sound with true width and height, despite being just a small soundbar with stereo drivers. The Sony HT-X8500 is maybe the single best budget soundbar buy right now. It's not cheap, but it's a glorious single-soundbar system for truly cinematic sound. The Sony HT-ST5000 is a more elite example of this вЂ“ it does an excellent job of creating virtual surround sound from a single bar (plus subwoofer), including Dolby Atmos height channels. The Sony HT-G700 uses this to create a surprisingly convincing wall of Dolby Atmos sound from its 3.1-channel system, and as a result is one of the best-value Atmos soundbars on the market, and gets a strong recommendation in our Sony HT-G700 review. Sony always uses some of the most technically impressive audio processing in its products, helping them produce sound that seems to come from devices that should be much larger and more expensive вЂ“ perfect for something like soundbars, where you don't want them to be too tall.
