Once you’ve grown accustomed to these highlights of the Q60B’s pictures, you also become aware of its excellent sharpness. This is especially true with native 4K content, of course, but actually its upscaling of HD sources is also a cut above the norm at this price point, even without the full might of Samsung’s AI-based databases on hand to help it identify and respond to different sources more effectively. Both of the LG S65Q and Samsung HW-Q60B have discrete center speaker, which is good for dialogue. The sound profile of their center speaker is also equally well balanced, making them can produce clear and accurate dialogue. Meanwhile. At max volume, the LG S65Q can get louder, which is around 91 dB SPL, while the HW-Q60B geta round 89 dB SPL. This actually is loud enough to fill a large room, even for the HW-60B. While the S65Q can get louder, the center speaker of the HW-Q60B have better distortion performance at both normal listening volume and max volume. However, although not as good as the HW-Q60B, distortion performance of the S65Q is also good. It can still produce clear and accurate dialogue in the mix. Clear Dialogue Technology: This feature enhances dialogue clarity, ensuring that conversations and speech are crisp and intelligible, even in noisy environments. use of the content you supply does not violate these Terms of Use and will not cause injury to any person or entity.
Despite making a pleasing first impression with its design and some of the more aggressive aspects of its picture quality, in the end, Samsung’s attempt to make Quantum Dot technology more affordable doesn’t result in the budget hero we’d hoped for. Both of them are good sound bar for TVS shows or podcast thanks to their discrete center speaker. They both have neutral sound profile, allowing them can reproduce clear voices. Additionally, dialogue is also detailed and present in mix thanks to their balanced mids. So, when you are watching TV shows or Podcast, the voices of announcer will be heard clearly. Additionally, they both also have Dialogue Enhancement features that allows you to further improve the clarity of voice produced. On the LG S65Q, you can use Clear Voice mode while on the Samsung HW-Q60B, you can use “Adaptive Sound” feature. Meanwhile, compare between them, the Samsung HW-Q60B is a bit better. Although in general, both have well balanced sound profile, but the HW-Q60B can produce clearer and more accurate voice thanks to its better stereo frequency response. While its content is impressive, we’re not fans of the way Samsung’s latest smart TV system is presented and organised. Moving to a full-screen interface from the previous generation’s superimposed rows of content along the bottom edge feels unnecessary, and the layout and navigation of the new smart interface both feel unhelpful and illogical at times. Experience suggests we’ll probably see a much-improved refinement of this new approach next year. Here’s hoping, anyway.
Plan Benefits
The Samsung Q60B Soundbar offers a range of sound modes to cater to different content and preferences. These modes include: Meanwhile, to connect it wirelessly with other devices, both of them only have built-in Bluetooth. They don’t have built-in Wi-Fi. Both also don’t support ChromeCast or Apple Air Play, so you can cast your audio file from your smartphone to them. The best Samsung soundbar in the budget category we've tested is the Samsung HW-B550. It's a simple 2.1 bar, so it's best suited for stereo content like music and TV shows. It has a balanced sound out of the box, accurately reproducing everything from vocals to lead instruments in your favorite songs. The included subwoofer adds some rumble to bass-heavy genres like EDM and hip-hop. Thanks to its graphic EQ and bass and treble adjustments, you can switch up its sound to your liking. For its price, it's a pretty good bar. Based on our experiences, soundbars can support a variety of audio formats. However, the audio source greatly influences which audio format the soundbar will utilize. We've encountered four commonly used surround sound formats: Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital, DTS, and DTS:X. The soundbar and audio source are the components that require support for these audio formats, so you don’t have to worry about your Samsung 65" Q60B TV supporting them. We've examined the differences between each format below:
Their sound performance may be not as good as the higher model like Samsung HW-Q70B on Samsung lineup or LG S75Q on LG’s lineup. But for their price range, their sound performance is fairly good. And overall, both are good soundbar for mixed usage thanks to their very neutral sound profile. In the market, the Samsung HW-Q60B is sold about tends dollars more expensive than the LG S65Q. So, which is superior between them and which soundbar is a better choice? On the other hand, with the support of eARC, the Samsung HW-Q60B can play high-quality audio content you will find more in the future. Although it doesn’t have heigh channel, but it still can play height sound by downmixing it to stereo.
The Samsung HW-Q60B has a decent selection of sound enhancement features, especially compared to similar 3.1 models like the Sony HT-S2000. You can customize its sound with its bass and treble adjustments as well as its 7-band graphic EQ. There are several preset modes, including 'Standard', 'Surround Sound', 'Game', 'Adaptive Sound', and 'DTS VIRTUAL:X'. 'Adaptive Sound' is a dialogue enhancement feature, and 'DTS VIRTUAL:X' is a virtual surround mode that creates a more 3D sound. Also, if you add on rear speakers, you can adjust their levels. The Samsung Q60B Soundbar offers various connectivity options for seamless integration into your home entertainment setup. These include: There is a basic version of Samsung’s Motion Xcelerator feature, which claims to predict and automatically compensate for frame rate fluctuations, but it’s hard to say from our time with the set that this really has much effect on the gaming experience. Meridian Audio Technology, Auto Volume, Dialogue Enhancement, Bass Enhancement, Treble Enhancement, Virtual Sound Gamers will be enthused, though, both by the number of game streaming services available on Samsung’s dedicated Gaming Hub screen and by the TV’s seriously speedy 9.4ms of input lag when using the TV’s ‘Fastest’ response time setting.
Overall, though, there just isn’t enough power or dynamic range available to really get the sound out into your room as much as you’d like it to. Verdict Converted to Test Bench 1.1. With this update, we've added a Mounting test and added information about Subwoofer Output, Spotify Connect, and Microphone Mute.Winner: The Samsung HW-Q60B has better frequency response, the S5Q has better total harmonic distortion. Center Speaker Performance The Samsung Q60B makes a good first impression on two counts. First, it’s much brighter than the majority of TVs we see in this price category. Bright enough, in fact, to handle high dynamic range sources with genuine conviction – by which we mean that bright scenes, at least, actually look like genuine HDR rather than just like something that’s a bit better than SDR. The Samsung Q600B’s soundbar controls are pretty much what we’d expect given the soundbar’s price. The soundbar has several buttons that Samsung has placed on top. These are four physical buttons for power, volume control and source selection. They may look cheaper than touchscreens, but are preferred in most cases as they are easier to find in a dimly lit room. Acoustic Beam Technology: This technology uses beamforming to project sound in specific directions, creating a wider soundstage and enveloping the listener in immersive audio. Converted to Test Bench 1.2. Updated the results for audio format support via ARC/eARC, HDMI In, and Optical. Added Video Passthrough to TV results as well.
The included remote is the familiar One Remote. The overall design and layout of the buttons have not changed much. The two buttons above the navigation controls are used for source selection and Bluetooth pairing, while the other three below them are for mute, audio mode selection, and Q600B soundbar volume control. The Q60B gets Samsung’s Game Bar interface, which provides key information on incoming gaming graphics and provides faster access to a few gaming-related features. This includes support, uniquely at this price point, for the Super Ultrawide GameView feature that lets you play some compatible PC games in a 32:9 aspect ratio to increase your field of view. There’s also ALLM switching but, unfortunately, that’s the last of the cutting-edge gaming features; there’s no support over any of the TV's three HDMIs for either 4K at 120Hz feeds, or VRR. The Samsung Q60B Soundbar offers a wide range of connectivity options to suit your needs. It features HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) and HDMI eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) ports, allowing for seamless connection to your TV and other devices. The soundbar also supports Bluetooth connectivity, enabling wireless audio streaming from your smartphone or tablet. With built-in Wi-Fi, you can effortlessly connect to your home network and enjoy online music streaming services. The Q60B’s picture hardware is driven by a Quantum Processor 4K lite system that seems to be more or less on a par with the Crystal processor found in Samsung’s non Quantum Dot TVs. Certainly, it doesn’t appear to have any of the machine learning/AI elements you get higher up Samsung’s TV range, with Samsung’s blurb on it only really talking about improved upscaling of sub-4K content and the ability to automatically adjust the sound profile to suit different content types.For any content that you submit, you grant SAMSUNG a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully transferable right and license to use, copy, modify, delete in its entirety, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from and/or sell and/or distribute such content and/or incorporate such content into any form, medium or technology throughout the world without compensation to you. The Samsung HW-Q60B and LG S65Q are equipped with the same connectivity. They have 1 Optical Audio IN, 2 HDMI ports, and 1 USB port. Through optical connection, they can play Dolby Digital and DTS audio format. Additionally, you can also play your audio files saved on your USB drive since their USB port can also be used to play audio file. When used for listening to the music, the Samsung HW-Q60B is also a bit better than the LG S65Q thanks to its slightly better stereo performance. As we have discussed above, default sound produced by the HW-Q60B is more neutral than the LG S65Q that has a bit more bass-heavy sound profile. However, in general, performance of the S65Q is also good enough to listening the music. Their sound at the mids is well balanced, making lead instrument is heard clearly and can present in the mix. Additionally, both are also able to create little boom at high-bass that adds a nice rumble.
