Verdict

The Samsung HW-S60T is a compact 4.0-channel all-in-one soundbar delivering 180W of power through six internal drivers, including dual-sided horn speakers and Acoustic Beam technology for a wider soundstage. This lifestyle-oriented model features a sleek, Kvadrat fabric-wrapped design, built-in Amazon Alexa for voice control, and smart connectivity via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and the SmartThings app. Main pros include its space-saving form factor, clear dialogue reproduction, and dedicated Adaptive Sound and Music modes that optimise audio based on content. However, notable cons include a lack of deep sub-bass due to the absence of a dedicated subwoofer, no support for immersive formats like Dolby Atmos or DTS:X, and a limited selection of physical ports featuring only one HDMI ARC and one optical input.
