Samsung unveils 2026 home audio lineup with advanced features

Samsung has unveiled its 2026 lineup of home audio systems, featuring new Music Studio speakers and updated Q-series soundbars. The focus is on improved sound calibration, multi-device synchronization, and smart home integration.

The flagship HW-Q990H soundbar delivers 11.1.4-channel audio with Dolby Atmos via HDMI and wireless connections. It comes with two active subwoofers and SpaceFit Sound Pro technology, which uses a built-in microphone to optimize sound for your room. Adaptive Sound, AI Dynamic Bass Control, and Auto Volume features automatically adjust audio to match content, synchronize with visuals, and maintain consistent volume levels.

Other soundbar models—the HW-Q900H, HW-Q800H, and the single-unit HW-QS90H—offer similar features but vary in channel count and configuration. The HW-QS90H uses a gyroscopic sensor to automatically tune audio based on whether it's placed on a table or mounted on a wall.

The Music Studio 7 and Music Studio 5 speakers provide premium sound for both small and large spaces. The Music Studio 7 delivers 3.1.1-channel audio with Dolby Atmos, supporting Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Spotify Tap, and features like AI Dynamic Bass Control, SpaceFit Sound Pro, and Active Voice Amplifier Pro. The more compact Music Studio 5 uses waveguides for even sound dispersion while maintaining the same connectivity and AI tuning capabilities.

Both speakers are compatible with Q-Symphony for synchronization with Samsung TVs and soundbars. Control is available through the Samsung Sound app, which consolidates device grouping, playback, and audio settings. Pricing starts at $299.99 for the Music Studio 5 and goes up to $1,999.99 for the HW-Q990H. The devices are already available through Samsung's online store and retailers, with some models set to arrive later.
