Overview

HW-Q600F is a 2025 Q-series soundbar. It has a 3.1.2 setup with a wireless subwoofer in the box, and Samsung's SWA-9250S wireless rear speakers can be added. The manual lists the soundbar at 1030 mm wide, 57 mm high and 105 mm deep; the wall-mount brackets are included. Samsung lists the colour as Titan Black and 9 speakers.

The TV connects over HDMI eARC. One HDMI input passes 4K video at up to 60 Hz with HDR10+ through to the TV, and there is also an optical input, a USB port for music files and Bluetooth. There is no Wi-Fi. With some Samsung TVs it offers Q-Symphony (TV speakers and soundbar play together).

You can control it with the buttons on the bar, the included remote or the TV remote.

What the specs mean

  • 3.1.2 speaker setup: three main channels (left, centre, right), one subwoofer channel and two height channels from up-firing speakers, which is how the bar plays Dolby Atmos with sound from above.
  • HDMI eARC: the enhanced Audio Return Channel sends the TV's sound to the soundbar over one HDMI cable, including high-bitrate formats such as Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos and uncompressed multichannel audio.
  • HDMI passthrough: a console or streaming box can plug into the HDMI input; the bar passes 4K video at up to 60 Hz with HDR10+ on to the TV.
  • Audio formats: the manual lists Dolby 5.1ch, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS 5.1ch, DTS Virtual:X and LPCM 8ch.
  • Room correction: Samsung lists SpaceFit Sound Pro as "Works with TV", so it depends on a Samsung TV; the manual has no SpaceFit section.
  • Voice and night modes: Samsung lists Voice Enhance Mode for dialogue and a Night Mode for late listening.

Overall value
A rough features-for-the-price score, compared with every soundbar listed. Bars gain points for things like Dolby Atmos, Wi-Fi and room tuning, and lose points without them. Dolby Atmos with up-firing speakers earns more than virtual Atmos. Cheaper bars lose fewer points, or none, for missing premium extras (Dolby Atmos, HDMI eARC, up-firing speakers). 100 is the best deal listed. Based on specs only, not on how it sounds.

Price-band value
Like Overall value, but each soundbar is compared only with soundbars in its own price band: up to $300, $300–500, $500–800, $800–1,200 or over $1,200. 100 is the best deal in that band. Based on specs only, not on how it sounds.
