This is more like a smart 5.0 speaker that supports AirPlay, BT, Chromecast, and Spotify connect. If you have a Samsung TV, it could do more like wireless connection and Q-Symphony. I don't count on its sound quality in this compact form at this price tag (Let's say sub $200, $100 is a steal). However the rtings review for S60A is not that bad. The updated S60/61B also claims Atmos support but there's no height / upfiring speaker, so it just decodes the most common format used in streaming and use the metadata for their spacefit (?) feature. Besides the lack of subwoofer, I suppose you are only going to feel some differences with soundbars above $500. Or some regular home theaters out of the cursed soundbar form.

Thanks guys!

I've never tried a soundbar but this seems much cheaper/better quality than most deals I see around here.

Edit: It seems like value wise this bar is a better deal than the b550 but I can't help but feel I'm missing out on the baseyness which to me seems like it'd be more impressive to people watching the tv with me.

Any thoughts?

this or the b550 for movies?
A bit subjective and depending on room size as well, but usually a dedicated center speaker should be much better for movies/shows due to dialogue clarity.

Personally I would go with the overall better sounding soundbar and see how to add a subwoofer if needed.

I would go with the better soundbar for TV/movie watching. Dedicated center speaker is more important than subwoofer.

Besides how much punch can that tiny sub give anyways.

Q60B also is on sale for $120 epp. Comes with subwoofer

I thought Q series are supposed to be more premium than S series sound bar. Otherwise I don't know which one to get between Q60B and s61b

How does HW-Q60B 3.1 Ch fare in between these 2 models discussed above (S61B and B550)?

Here's what I found so far:

HW-S61B 5.0ch All-in-One Soundbar w/ Dolby Atmos (2022) [This Deal] [samsung.com]
- $100
- No separate Subwoofer (won't be as much bassy)
- Specs: Number of Channels: 5.0 | Number of Speakers: 7 | Total Power (W): 200W
- Opinion: Smallest, Lightest of them all - smart features (Built-in Alexa, Airplay, Tap-to-play via SmartThings from Samsung mobiles), Aims to deliver good sound without a subwoofer.

HW-B550 2.1ch Soundbar w/ Dolby Audio / DTS Virtual:X (2022) [samsung.com]
- $90
- Wireless Subwoofer
- Specs: Number of Channels: 2.1 | Number of Speakers: 5 | Total Power (W): 410W
- Opinion: Highest max power with just 2.1, so I guess louder and more Bass. Killer price.

HW-Q60B 3.1ch Soundbar w/ Dolby Atmos / DTX Virtual:X (2022) [samsung.com]
- $119.99
- Wireless Subwoofer
- Specs: Number of Channels: 3.1 | Number of Speakers: 7 | Total Power (W): 340W
- Opinion: I wonder if this is being overlooked by many as based on specs alone, this seems to have a wireless sub-woofer, same number of speakers as S61B but in a larger footprint and more power and hence guess it'd sound more bass-y.

Having never used either of them, I welcome others to add to this discussion and justify why one should pick one over another. Thanks!

I was on the fence and originally thought stats wise q60b would be a good fit, but it has bad reviews on the site, and looking for reviews on reddit just led to people having a lot of issues with it. The s61b on the other hand has stellar reviews

edit: hesitated too long while doing research. OOS unlucky

For what it's worth the MSRP of q60b is $100 higher. Samsung soundbars have shitty reviews all around, bar none.

Thanks for that info.

I'm not sure if Samsung has good cancelling but the motto I learnt here is buy first think later and it's helped me lately! GL!

You are right. Seems gone now. I think EPP discount is dead now for all models.

I got it for $140 in that last deal, I like it quite a bit more than the Q600B I'm replacing, although my subwoofer didn't work on that anyways. It's not on the same level as $500+ soundbars (I have a Vizio Elevate for my main TV), but the bass is shockingly good without a subwoofer. $100 is insane, ordered a second as a Christmas gift and putting in a price match request for my first order.

I think a soundbar with atmos speakers/a subwoofer or rear speakers like a Vizio V51 would be better if it's your main soundbar that you're going to watch movies/play games on, I've just been using mine for YouTube, TV shows, and light music and it's been very impressive. Will try a movie on it tomorrow to compare a bit better.
They didn't do a PM for me yesterday night. But they extended the return window from last deal and I was able to get a return label and bought this one. They asked me to email me screenshot of the price I was seeing with savings drop down expanded - while on the chat. Was pretty smooth.
