Samsung Expands Audio Ecosystem for 2026 With Smarter Multi-Device Sound and Immersive Designs

Samsung’s 2026 sound lineup brings richer multi-device audio and elegant, immersive soundbar innovations for the modern home.

A New Era of Home Sound Begins

If you’re a sound enthusiast like me, the thrill of a home audio upgrade is hard to beat. Samsung Electronics is turning up the volume for 2026 with a fresh lineup of sound devices designed to transform how sound moves through your living space. From sleek soundbars to smart Wi-Fi speakers, Samsung is weaving together immersive audio and sophisticated design like never before.

Samsung promises an audio experience that is richer, cleaner, and more seamlessly integrated across devices, perfect for any room or mood. Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung, puts it best:

“For more than a decade, Samsung has shaped the evolution of home audio through advanced acoustics, intelligent features and thoughtful design. We’re continuing that legacy with next-generation sound devices designed to deliver a rich, expressive performance for any space and moment.”

Cinematic Sound Gets a 2026 Makeover With Q-Series Soundbars

Let’s dive into the flagship soundbars, where Samsung’s Q-Series takes center stage. These soundbars redefine cinematic audio for today’s homes, offering immersive soundscapes that fit everything from cozy apartments to expansive living rooms.

The crown jewel is the Samsung HW-Q990H soundbar, Samsung’s latest flagship soundbar that pushes boundaries with features like Sound Elevation, which cleverly lifts dialogue to the center of your screen for more natural conversations — no more straining to hear your favorite characters! Plus, Auto Volume ensures a smooth ride by balancing volume across different channels and content.

This 11.1.4-channel beast combines a main bar, rear speakers, and a dual 8-inch driver subwoofer. It’s a powerhouse of bass and clarity, compact enough to fit stylishly into your space without overwhelming it. The up-firing speakers and AI tuning extend the sound field to create that truly cinematic scale we all crave at home.

Samsung’s innovation continues with the All-in-One Soundbar HW-QS90H. Think of it as the chameleon of soundbars — its Convertible Fit design can perch on a tabletop or mount on your wall, and a built-in gyro sensor tweaks the channel distribution depending on its orientation. This 7.1.2-channel system packs 13 drivers, including a Quad Bass Woofer system that delivers rich bass without the need for a separate subwoofer. It’s performance meets flexibility with a sleek design.

Music Studio Series: Where Iconic Design Meets Expressive Sound

If soundbars aren’t your style, Samsung’s new Music Studio Series Wi-Fi speakers might just steal your heart. These speakers don’t just sound good—they look stunning, embodying a timeless dot design by famed designer Erwan Bouroullec. Inspired by the universal symbols of music and art, these pieces are as much a visual delight as an acoustic one.

Music Studio 7 (LS70H): The Immersive Powerhouse

The Music Studio 7 offers a 3.1.1-channel spatial audio setup with speakers firing left, front, right, and up top, enveloping you in a natural 3D sound bubble. Samsung’s Audio Lab Pattern Control Technology cleans up overlapping signals so the directionality is crisp and clear. AI Dynamic Bass Control adds depth without distortion, and Hi-Resolution Audio lets you enjoy music with audio processing up to 24-bit/96kHz. Thanks to a super tweeter, frequencies stretch up to 35kHz, revealing intricate musical details that audiophiles will cherish.

This model comes in classic black or white and can stand alone or pair with other Music Studio units and Samsung TVs via Q-Symphony, delivering rich stereo or full surround sound.

Music Studio 5 (LS50H): Style Meets Substance

The smaller sibling, Music Studio 5, is designed for those who value both sound quality and interior harmony. Its gallery-inspired form is perfect for elevating your living space’s aesthetic. Tuned by the Samsung Audio Lab, it sports a 4-inch woofer and dual tweeters with a built-in waveguide, delivering balanced, clear audio. AI Dynamic Bass Control deepens low frequencies while keeping distortion at bay.

The Music Studio 5 supports Wi-Fi casting, streaming services, voice control, and Bluetooth through Samsung Seamless Codec — all wrapped up in a smart, user-friendly package.

Smarter, More Connected Sound For Every Space

Samsung’s leadership in soundbars spans over a decade, with the California-based Samsung Audio Lab spearheading engineering excellence. This experience flows into every product in the 2026 lineup, blending advanced acoustics, elegant design, and seamless connectivity.

A standout feature is the evolved Q-Symphony technology, which now lets you pair up to five sound devices with your Samsung TV. It smartly analyzes your room’s layout and device placements to optimize channel distribution. The result? Crystal-clear dialogue and surround sound so immersive, you’ll feel like you’re right inside the action.

Control is a breeze via Wi-Fi and the SmartThings app, giving you access to sound settings, group playback, music streaming, and voice assistant features all in one place. Whether you’re flipping through playlists on your phone or adjusting volume mid-movie, SmartThings keeps your audio experience smooth and intuitive.

Samsung also recently introduced the Sound Tower (ST50F and ST40F models), designed for powerful outdoor and social listening that complements the Music Studio and Soundbar families. These new additions underscore Samsung’s commitment to creating a complete, expressive, and connected global audio ecosystem.

The Sound of Tomorrow, Today

Samsung’s 2026 audio lineup feels like the soundtrack for modern living — smart, immersive, and stylish. Whether you’re a cinephile craving that theater-quality sound, a music lover who appreciates elegant design, or someone simply seeking smarter multi-device harmony, Samsung’s new offerings promise to elevate your every listening moment.
