Samsung HW-Q70R review

Concerning audio features comparison Samsung has 3.1.2 channels compared to JBL’s 5.1. The power is 330W vs 510W respectively. A regular three-character screen is located in the far front right corner of the soundbar. The display lights up when you select inputs, change settings, adjust the volume, or select one of the four available sound modes. On the front panel on the right are several basic controls for power, volume and source selection; everything else is controlled using the included remote. For those who plan to install this soundbar on the wall, the kit includes a mount with screws and a template. Samsung HW-Q70R

JBL Bar 5.1 review

The JBL Bar 5.1 soundbar with wireless speakers provides freedom of placement, customizable and enjoyable listening conditions. The subwoofer energizes and makes this panel a real alternative to the 5.1 speaker system. In addition to HDMI and optical inputs, there is a USB-A port compatible with USB drives (FAT16 / 32). MP3 and WAV files (max. 16 bit / 48 kHz) are supported, with the file name displayed on the panel LED display. JBL Bar 5.1

Samsung HW-Q70R pros & cons

Pros

  • Because of identical drivers, it’s easier to move the speakers around the three-dimensional soundstage without noticeably changing character from speaker to speaker
  • Touch sensitive buttons on the soundbar for volume level, inputs, and basically everything you need in a quick layout

Cons

  • The setup is simple, but there are so many features that I wish this system can guide you through upon “setting up”
