Short answer: the Samsung HW-QS700F. It ranks #4 of 16 soundbars with a subwoofer by sound quality, rated 3.6/5, at $597.99; the Samsung HW-Q600F ranks #11, rated 3.4/5, and costs $697.99, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
Why pick the Samsung HW-QS700F: Clear dialogue and a sub that delivers real weight make it a strong TV and movie upgrade, with a compact bar that sits flat or wall mounts. It streams over Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth, which the Samsung HW-Q600F cannot. The tradeoff: Atmos effects lack precision and space compared with pricier rivals, and the sound can turn harsh at high volume.
The case for the Samsung HW-Q600F: A 3.1.2 bar with a dedicated center channel and up-firing drivers, paired with a wireless sub. Watch for: There is no Wi-Fi, so streaming is Bluetooth only.
Buy the Samsung HW-QS700F. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Samsung HW-Q600F and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
