Samsung unveils 2026 audio lineup with smarter soundbars and music studio speakers

Samsung has unveiled its 2026 sound device lineup, promising richer immersion, smarter connectivity, and more expressive audio experiences across homes. The expanded portfolio — set to debut at CES 2026 in Las Vegas — includes enhanced Q-Series soundbars and all-new Music Studio Wi-Fi speakers, powered by the next generation of Q-Symphony technology.

Samsung’s flagship HW-Q990H soundbar introduces Sound Elevation, a feature that lifts dialogue toward the screen’s center for more natural audio, and Auto Volume, which balances loudness across channels and content.

The 11.1.4-channel system combines a 7.0.2 main bar, 4.0.2 rear speakers, and a dual 8-inch driver subwoofer, delivering powerful yet space-efficient bass. Up-firing channels and AI tuning broaden the sound field, offering a home-theater scale experience.

Samsung also introduced the HW-QS90H All-in-One Soundbar, designed for versatility with a Convertible Fit design that adapts to wall or tabletop placement. Its gyro sensor automatically adjusts channel distribution, while a 7.1.2-channel system with 13 drivers and a Quad Bass Woofer delivers deep bass without a separate subwoofer.

Samsung’s new Music Studio 5 (LS50H) and Music Studio 7 (LS70H) Wi-Fi speakers expand the brand’s audio ecosystem. Both models feature a dot design concept by renowned designer Erwan Bouroullec, blending artistic aesthetics with advanced acoustics.
