Samsung QS90H Soundbar Delivers Strong Bass Without a Separate Subwoofer

All-in-One Audio Solution

Samsung has introduced the QS90H soundbar, which aims to provide robust bass performance without requiring a separate subwoofer. This design addresses a long-standing challenge in the soundbar market, where many products advertised as "all-in-one" still necessitated an external bass unit for satisfactory low-end sound. The QS90H achieves this by incorporating a different approach to its built-in woofers.

Design and Driver Configuration

The QS90H shares a similar aesthetic with its predecessor, the QS700F, but is approximately 3.5 inches wider. This increased size accommodates five additional drivers, bringing the total to 13, compared to the QS700F's eight. The QS700F, in contrast, relies on a separate compact wireless subwoofer due to its internal woofers lacking sufficient power. Both models feature a horizontally-striped top grille and dotted panels on the sides and front.

Onboard Controls and Connectivity

The soundbar includes center-mounted controls, similar to the QS700F. These controls consist of a microphone mute button (which also activates Bluetooth mode), two volume buttons, and a Multi button. The Multi button is used to wake the soundbar from standby and cycle through various inputs, including Bluetooth, when the device is active.

Advanced Audio Features

The QS90H integrates several features found in other Samsung soundbars. These include wireless Dolby Atmos for immersive audio, Q-Symphony for expanding soundbar audio by utilizing compatible Samsung TV speakers, and SpaceFit Sound Pro for room calibration. Other functionalities include AI Dynamic Bass Control, content-based Adaptive Sound, Active Voice Amplifier Pro for dialogue enhancement, Sound Elevation audio enhancement, and Game Mode Pro for improved 3D sound during gaming. Wireless Dolby Atmos and Q-Symphony require a compatible Samsung TV to function.
