I had a chance to test and compare two models: Samsung Q700C vs Samsung Q700B and this review should help people who are looking for a good soundbar. The Samsung Q700C was rated 7.4, while the Samsung Q700B has a rating 5.8.
Each of the models under consideration has active amplification type. By the number of channels, the devices do not differ. Soundbars have the same power - 320 (overall) W. The built-in subwoofer is not implemented in any of these models. An external subwoofer can be connected to any of the units in this comparison. Rate 8 out of 10 received the Samsung Q700C for audio features and specs, but the Samsung Q700B received 7 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. 1/1 HDMI inputs/outputs are in each of soundbars. As in the Q700C, so in the Q700B there is the HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC). Connecting devices via USB is possible in both models. We rated the connectivity of the Q700C at 10 out of 10, while the Q700B 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.
Manufacturers equipped both units with Dolby Atmos audio decoder. Units from this comparison can process surround sound due to DTS:X support. The same score of 10/10 was put to the soundbars for multichannel surround support.
