l would like to share my experience after comparing and testing two soundbars – Samsung Q700B vs Klipsch Cinema 400. The Samsung Q700B was rated 5.8, while the Klipsch Cinema 400 has a rating 4.6.
Each of the models under consideration has active amplification type. A noticeable difference is the number of channels that Q700B has 3.1.2 and Cinema 400 has 2.1. These rivals can be compared in terms of power, 320 (overall) versus 400 (overall) according to devices. The built-in subwoofer is not implemented in any of these models. An external subwoofer connects to the Q700B via wireless, but Cinema 400 has wired connection type. Rate 7 out of 10 received the Samsung Q700B for audio features and specs, but the Klipsch Cinema 400 received 5 out of 10.
Soundbars do not have AirPlay support. The units in this comparison do not support Spotify.
Both models do not have a wireless Wi-Fi interface. Soundbars from this comparison have Bluetooth support. There are 1/1 HDMI inputs/outputs in the Samsung Q700B versus 1/0 HDMIs in the Klipsch Cinema 400. As in the Q700B, so in the Cinema 400 there is the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC). The connectivity of each of the models was estimated at 8/10.
None of these soundbars can be controlled using the app. Soundbars in this review are not equipped with a microphone. The models under consideration cannot become part of a multiroom system.
Dolby Atmos audio decoder is onboard the Q700B. The Q700B can work with surround sound due to DTS:X support. The Q700B was rated 10/10, while the Cinema 400 received a mark of 6/10 for multichannel surround.
