Impressive sound? Check. Ultra-minimalistic design? Check. 3D Dolby Atmos audio immersion? The S801B soundbar ticks all the right boxes. Its ultra slim design ideally suits wall-mounted TVs (but looks supremely elegant however you site it), and takes your TV sound to the next exciting level (and your music too if you want, thanks to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming capability). It actually adapts to optimise the sound to match the scene, a wireless subwoofer packs a mighty bass punch, and you can control it just by talking thanks to built-in Alexa.
3.1.2 channel sound
Relish glorious 3.1.2 channel sound, with a mighty 330W of audio power. The separate subwoofer provides powerful bass, while a built-in centre speaker ensures crystal clear dialogue.
3D Object based sound with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X
The incorporation of true object-based audio formats Dolby Atmos and DTS:X allows this soundbar to place you in the heart of the action for a truly immersive 3D sound experience. And Dolby Atmos works wirelessly with compatible 2022 Samsung TVs too.
Adaptive sound
Adaptive Sound assesses what you're watching and optimises each scene with AI sound. So feel like you’re in the stadium when watching live sport, be immersed in thrilling action sequences, or hear gentle dialogue with crystal clarity.
Alexa built in
Easily control this smart soundbar and other compatible devices using Alexa voice control which is built in. So you can play music, adjust settings, check the weather, get questions answered, and more, and all hands-free.
Wireless subwoofer for max power
Ramp up the bass power and max out the thrill of cinematic sound. A wireless subwoofer adds low frequency power, depth and realism to everything you watch. And because it's wireless you have more placement options as it doesn’t need to be linked to the soundbar by a cable.
Stream music over Wi-Fi
With Wi-Fi built into the S801B, you can access your favourite streaming services. Ask Alexa, or stream via the SmartThings app on your mobile device from streaming services like Spotify Connect*. Samsung’s dedicated Music Mode ensures audio is optimised for music when using this soundbar purely as a speaker. And you can stream seamlessly from iOS devices with Apple Airplay 2.
Bluetooth connection and HDMI
Connect your compatible TV without the mess of wires thanks to Bluetooth. And you can stream your top tunes from your Bluetooth smart device too. You also have the option to connect to the TV by HDMI for a top-quality wired connection.
Ultra slim looks
The ultra-slim design of this audio marvel looks sleek and elegant as part of your set up, and is beautifully suited to accompany wall-mounted TVs.
Expandable
Expand your sound system for the fully cinematic surround sound experience. The S801B is compatible with Samsung’s SWA-9200S wireless rear speakers, which are available separately.
Samsung Q-Symphony
This Q-Symphony soundbar has the ability to synchronise in perfect harmony with select compatible Samsung TVs. Playing superb quality sound simultaneously from both soundbar and TV heightens the viewing experience without any complicated set up. Q-Symphony is compatible with 2022 Samsung TV (BU8000 TV and above).
