Samsung refreshes soundbar lineup with new Dolby Atmos models

Not everyone has the right room layout or space for a full 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound setup in the living room. Instead, many of us turn to soundbars as an alternative. This week, Samsung is adding two new soundbar models to its lineup- the HW-Q950T and HW-Q900T.

The HW-Q950T delivers 9.1.4-channel audio, which is the upper limit of channels available in a single soundbar. This model also comes with two wireless rear speakers for more convincing surround sound. The HW-Q900T does not include the rear speakers, but does include a subwoofer. Both sound bars support Dolby Atmos and eARC, all while shaving down the physical size of the sound bar, which is almost 14mm slimmer than the 2019 equivalent.

“In collaboration with Audio Lab in the US, we have been able to develop multi-dimensional surround sound that can be more accessible at home, which was previously only possible with a separate home-theater system,” said Senior VP, Seong Cho, in a press release. “In addition to improving sound quality, we also focused on fine-tuning the soundbar’s design aesthetic by using eco-friendly textiles, made by Danish premium brand Kvadrat.”

Both new soundbars also include support for the Samsung SmartThings app and Amazon Alexa voice commands. Pricing and availability information has yet to be confirmed though.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
