Samsung B550
vs
Klipsch Cinema 600

I had a chance to test and compare two models: Samsung B550 vs Klipsch Cinema 600 and this review should help people who are looking for a good soundbar. The Samsung B550 was rated 4.6, while the Klipsch Cinema 600 has a rating 4.8.

Each of the models under consideration has active amplification type. A noticeable difference is the number of channels that B550 has 2.1 and Cinema 600 has 3.1. These rivals can be compared in terms of power, 410 (overall) versus 600 (overall) according to devices. The built-in subwoofer is not implemented in any of these models. An external subwoofer connects to the B550 via wireless, but Cinema 600 has wired connection type. Audio features and specs of considered models we rated 6 out of 10 in our ranking.

We rated the connectivity of the B550 at 7 out of 10, while the Cinema 600 was rated 8/10.

Multichannel surround

Dolby Atmos audio decoder support is not implemented in either the B550 or Cinema 600. Devices from this comparison cannot process surround sound due to lack of DTS:X. The same score of 6/10 was put to the soundbars for multichannel surround support.
