Samsung HW-Q90R vs Sony HT-ST5000

Samsung HW-Q90R review

The unit can boast the presence of 7.1.2 channels and 512W (overall) output power. HW-Q90R in the specification has a "rival" DTS:X. Both Atmos and DTS:X do the same thing - 3D sound thanks to “high quality surround sound” due to reflection from the ceiling. In a cinema, this is achieved with 64 or more speakers, and in your home this effect will be accomplished with complex processing and with just 17 emitters. SmartThings allows you to connect the soundbar to your home wireless network and control the sound through the smart home system. Raise the bar for home appliance integration to a new level.

Sony HT-ST5000 review

7.1.2-channel soundbar with Dolby Atmos technology, support for high-resolution audio and one-touch streaming, delivers 140W of power. However, since the HT-ST5000 does not have side / rear speakers, we will be interested to check whether the soundbar can form a real three-dimensional surrounding picture. Another interesting feature of the HT-ST5000 is its support for High resolution audio. There is an S-Master HX amplifier that takes special measures to reduce distortion, the Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) HX for upscaling low-resolution or compressed recordings, and Clear Audio to improve the sound quality of any content.
