<\/p>\nThe Samsung HW-Q60T soundbar from the 2020 Samsung lineup has a 5.1 sound system.\u00a0This is the next generation of the Samsung HW-Q60R model.\u00a0Like its predecessor, the setup does not use dedicated dynamic amplifiers, nor does it support Dolby Atmos content.<\/p>\n
The main competitors of this model are\u00a0Samsung HW-Q60R\u00a0,\u00a0Samsung HW-Q80R\u00a0and\u00a0LG SL10Y\u00a0.\u00a0In this review, we’ll take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of this model in order to decide whether to buy the HW-Q60T.<\/p>\n
The soundbar of the Samsung HW-Q60T looks almost identical to the Samsung HW-Q60R from the previous generation.\u00a0The body is made of high quality black plastic.\u00a0A metal grille covers the front and top of the panel.\u00a0The dimensions of the panel itself (W x H x D): 980 mm X 58 mm x 105 mm.\u00a0The subwoofer is made mostly of wood.\u00a0The sub speaker is covered with a cloth that can collect dust or tear.<\/p>\n
The subwoofer looks like a mid-sized work computer, but is slightly wider.\u00a0The sub can be placed anywhere in the room, as it connects to the panel wirelessly.\u00a0Even though the panel itself is shorter than the Samsung HW-Q60R, the acoustic panel will most likely not fit between the legs of a 55-inch TV.<\/p>\n
Moreover, it is also slightly higher than the HW-Q60R.\u00a0Package includes: 2 power cords, user manual, wall mounting bracket with hardware, remote control with two AA batteries, HDMI cable and power supply for the bar.<\/p>\n
The Samsung HW-Q60T soundbar has a small display located on the right side of the panel behind the front grill.\u00a0The display can show the connected input, volume level and settings.\u00a0Since this is a small screen, you may need to scroll to read the entire message on the display.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The HW-Q60T soundbar has a decent stereo frequency response.\u00a0The bass sounds pretty good, but a decent kick is a little lacking.\u00a0Minor problems are also observed with high frequencies.\u00a0For most listeners, however, these shortcomings will not be noticeable, since the rest of the system is fairly well balanced.<\/p>\n
The stereo soundstage is wide.\u00a0It is not less than the size of the panel itself.\u00a0On the other hand, the panel itself does not contribute to making the scene even wider.\u00a0Audio sounds in focus.\u00a0The objects from where the sound comes from are located in their own place.\u00a0The HW-Q60T soundbar can get quite loud, making it suitable for large rooms or house parties.<\/p>\n
However, at maximum volume, there is slight distortion that may not be noticeable to many listeners.\u00a05.1 sound\u00a0has a high quality center channel.\u00a0Its configuration has a dedicated center speaker that reproduces clear vocals.\u00a0The speaker is very powerful, but the sound should also be loud enough.<\/p>\n
The performance of the Q60T soundbar is poor.\u00a0The company uses in this model the so-called Acoustic Beam technology to create a surround sound effect.\u00a0To create a surround sound experience, sound from the stand is directed upward.\u00a0Unfortunately, this phantom localization does not lead to the most accurate reproduction of the surrounding objects in the soundstage.<\/p>\n
Pseudo Atmos audio doesn’t feel as real and immersive as the surround sound coming from real speakers.\u00a0The panel does not have ceiling channels, and therefore does not support Dolby Atmos.\u00a0The Q60T soundbar has decent sound enhancement features.\u00a0Unlike other soundbars from the same manufacturer, the soundbar lacks room correction.<\/p>\n
However, this soundbar is one of the first in the lineup to feature presets like Game Pro and Adaptive Sound, in addition to a 7-band graphic equalizer.\u00a0The Q60T also has a surround mode, but you need to enable this option to watch 5.1 content.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Q60T has an HMDI In port that supports common formats used in a wide variety of content such as streaming platforms or Blu-ray discs.\u00a0The port also allows the soundbar to be used as a hub for devices such as PCs and TVs.\u00a0There is also a USB input, which is quite commendable.<\/p>\n
There is an HDMI output and an optical audio input.\u00a0The soundbar only supports Bluetooth wirelessly.\u00a0Options like Wi-Fi, Ethernet port and Apple\u00a0AirPlay2 are\u00a0missing.\u00a0The soundbar HDMI\u00a0ARC\u00a0port\u00a0supports most common soundbar formats such as Dolby Digital and DTS.<\/p>\n
As we already reported, it is possible to listen to 5.1 surround content such as Blu-ray discs or streaming media.\u00a0To do this, you need to activate surround mode on the soundbar.\u00a0Otherwise, the sound will be 3.1.\u00a0The Q60T acoustic bar can support Dolby Digital and DTS content via optical audio input.<\/p>\n
The Samsung HW-Q60T considered in the review is suitable for mixed use. The slight lack of bass and treble does not make action movies sound very exciting. However, it is possible to customize the sound using a graphic equalizer or presets.<\/p>\n
As for the center channel, the soundbar has a balanced sound.\u00a0This is very clearly seen in dialogues and musical programs.\u00a0If you are hosting a party at home, this soundbar may sound loud, but the bass will be slightly distorted.\u00a0In addition to all of the above, it is worth adding that in order to save energy, the Q60T has an automatic shutdown function.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
