![]() ![]() It’s inevitable that Samsung, having gone all-in on delivering the slenderest soundbar it possibly could, had to make a few compromises. ![]() (Image credit: Tom's Guide) Samsung HW-S800 review: Connectivity It’s packing 200 watts of power, which really ought to be ample.Īs well as Dolby Atmos, the HW-S800 is equipped with a few different listening modes: ‘night’ (which squashes dynamic range), ‘game’ (quite the opposite) and ‘DTS:X Virtual’ (which tries to extract a sensation of spatial audio from stereo information). The matte black finish of the curvy cabinet looks and feels good, the 6.5in driver and 8in passive radiator on either side of the box offer a rather purposeful appearance, and the fact that it connects wirelessly to the subwoofer means it can be stashed out of sight if the looks don’t do anything for you. The subwoofer is less attention-grabbingly small, but at 9.4 x 9.5 x 9.4 inches (HxWxD) it’s certainly no bloater - and it too is quite impressively presented. To this end, the soundbar features two tweeters, three passive radiators and four full-range drivers to deliver the ‘3’ and the ‘2’. The HW-S800 is designed to deliver a 3.1.2 variation of spatial audio sound - that translates a three forward-firing channels of information, the subwoofer and two upward-facing channels bringing the all-important sonic height.
