Short answer: the Samsung HW-Q800F. It ranks #1 of 16 soundbars with a subwoofer by sound quality, rated 3.7/5, at $537.99; the Samsung HW-Q600F ranks #11, rated 3.4/5, and costs $697.99, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The Samsung HW-Q800F is the better-sounding pick. A 5.1.2 bar with up-firing drivers and a wireless sub that digs deep, so action scenes have real weight. It streams over Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth, which the Samsung HW-Q600F cannot. The tradeoff: There are no rear speakers in the box, so surround effects stay in front of you unless you add Samsung’s optional rears.
Why pick the Samsung HW-Q600F: A 3.1.2 bar with a dedicated center channel and up-firing drivers, paired with a wireless sub. The catch: There is no Wi-Fi, so streaming is Bluetooth only.
Buy the Samsung HW-Q800F. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Samsung HW-Q600F and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
