l would like to share my experience after comparing and testing two soundbars – Samsung Q700C vs Klipsch Cinema 400. The Samsung Q700C was rated 7.4, 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 Q700C 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 Q700C via wireless, but Cinema 400 has wired connection type. Rate 8 out of 10 received the Samsung Q700C for audio features and specs, but the Klipsch Cinema 400 received 5 out of 10.
The Q700C can play audio from Spotify.
Wireless Internet connection is realized only in the Q700C. Soundbars from this comparison have Bluetooth support. There are 1/1 HDMI inputs/outputs in the Samsung Q700C versus 1/0 HDMIs in the Klipsch Cinema 400. As in the Q700C, so in the Cinema 400 there is the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC). We rated the connectivity of the Q700C at 10 out of 10, while the Cinema 400 was rated 8/10.
The manufacturer of the Q700C provides a device control application. The Samsung Q700C equipped with a microphone. The models under consideration cannot become part of a multiroom system.
Dolby Atmos audio decoder is onboard the Q700C. The Q700C can work with surround sound due to DTS:X support. The Q700C was rated 10/10, while the Cinema 400 received a mark of 6/10 for multichannel surround.
