Short answer: a tie on sound quality. Both are rated 3.3/5 (#16 and #18 of 27 all-in-one soundbars) at nearly the same price ($274.50 vs $277.99), so choose on features and fit.
What the Klipsch Flexus Core 100 does well: This compact bar makes TV dialogue clear and adds real bass weight, which both TechRadar and Tom’s Guide credited in four-star reviews. Watch for: Atmos is processed rather than coming from height drivers, so overhead effects are faint.
What the Samsung HW-S60D does well: This compact 5.0 bar has a balanced tuning that is a clear upgrade over TV speakers, with a convenient app, Wi-Fi streaming with AirPlay 2 and Chromecast, and HDMI eARC. It streams over Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth, which the Klipsch Flexus Core 100 cannot. The catch: Bass rolls off early, so explosions and deep notes lack weight without a subwoofer.
Buy the Klipsch Flexus Core 100 or the Samsung HW-S60D on features: they are rated the same for sound quality at close to the same price.
