Samsung HW-N850 Review: A $1,100 Beast of a Soundbar

 

The HW-N850 offers a lot for $1,100 — big, detailed sound that you can adjust to match your surroundings and tastes. Last year, a system with this quality and features would have cost $1,500 or more.

Detailed treble and bass ; Ridiculously loud

Really big ; Slightly bright sound

The Samsung HW-N850 is a big soundbar that produces big sound and comes packed with the latest features, including Dolby Atmos.

Samsung HW-N850 Soundbar review

 

Great sound but front-heavy

Excellent performance ; Atmos and DTS:X support ; Extremely well made ; Easy to setup

Sound front-heavy ; Basic audio setup ; Limited HDMI inputs

The Samsung HW-N850 has width and upward-firing drivers, a wireless subwoofer and it supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. However it lacks the flagship HW-N950’s rear speakers; so while it sounds great, the audio is weighted towards the front of the room.

Samsung HW-N850 review: The best soundbar just got a price cut

Expensive ; Doesn’t include rear speakers ; No Bluetooth aptX support

The N850 is a brilliant audio system. Sure, it’s expensive, and you might be uncertain about the lack of rear speakers. But once you hear it, you’ll have no qualms about either.

The Samsung HW-N850 is identical to the N950 but without the rear wireless speakers, but is it a good alternative for those on a budget or do you need...

Great performance ; Dolby Atmos & DTS:X support ; Straightforward setup ; Attractive and well made

Front heavy effects ; Only two HDMI inputs ; Limited audio calibration

The Samsung HW-N850 is an impressive soundbar that delivers a solid all-round performance. It's attractively-designed, extremely well-made, and offers plenty of useful features. Some more HDMI inputs would be nice and setup was rather basic, but the...
