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

Samsung, the global leader in soundbars², today introduced its 2026 sound device lineup, marking a new chapter in how sound is experienced throughout the home. The expanded range - which will be showcased at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada from Jan. 6-9 - delivers rich immersion, clean expression and a unified multi-device performance through next-generation soundbars and Wi-Fi speakers.

"For more than a decade, Samsung has shaped the evolution of home audio through advanced acoustics, intelligent features and thoughtful design," said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. "We're continuing that legacy with next-generation sound devices designed to deliver a rich, expressive performance for any space and moment."

Redefining Cinematic Sound with Samsung's Q-Series Soundbars

The Samsung 2026 Q-Series soundbars reinterpret cinematic sound for contemporary homes, offering richer immersion across a range of room sizes and listening preferences.

Latest Samsung flagship Soundbar (HW-Q990H model) delivers its most immersive soundbar experience yet. The 11.1.4-channel system combines a 7.0.2 main bar, 4.0.2 rear speakers and a dual 8-inch driver with built-in compact active subwoofer, refined for a powerful and space-efficient bass. Up-firing channels and next-generation AI tuning further broaden the sound field, bringing a sense of scale typically associated with professional home theater setups.

The HW-Q990H debuts Sound Elevation, a technology that lifts dialogue toward the center of the screen for more natural sounding audio. It also introduces Auto Volume, which maintains consistent volume across channels and content for a smoother, more balanced listening experience.

New to the 2026 lineup is the Samsung All-in-One Soundbar (HW-QS90H model), which blends performance with aesthetic versatility. A 7.1.2-channel system with 13 drivers - including nine wide-range speakers - and a built-in Quad Bass Woofer system deliver deep bass without the need for a separate subwoofer.

Plus, its Convertible Fit design supports both wall-mount and tabletop placements, while a built-in gyro sensor automatically adapts channel distribution based on orientation.

Music Studio Series: Iconic Design, Expressive Sound

Samsung is introducing two new Wi-Fi speakers, the "Music Studio 5" and "Music Studio 7," to build a stronger integrated ecosystem. These new models enable a wider range of Samsung sound system combinations than before, maximizing the audiovisual experience. Additionally, they offer richer sound experiences while also enhancing aesthetic harmony with users' spaces, allowing them to enjoy an improved audio environment. Each model shares a timeless dot concept by renowned designer Erwan Bouroullec, inspired by a universal symbol in music and art - and grounded in the Samsung signature aesthetic.

Music Studio 7 (LS70H model) is the most immersive model in the series, delivering 3.1.1-channel spatial audio through left, front, right and top-firing speakers for natural 3D immersion. Samsung Audio Lab Pattern Control Technology ensures that sound from each channel is not overlapping or cluttered, providing you with ultra-clear and immersive audio. AI Dynamic Bass Control delivers deep bass with minimal distortion, while being able to play Hi-Resolution Audio with up to 24-bit/96kHz audio processing. Music Studio 7 will be available in black, and can function as a standalone immersive speaker or be paired with compatible Samsung Wi-Fi speakers, soundbars, or TVs via Q-Symphony for wider stereo or a full surround-sound setup.

Music Studio 5 (LS50H model) is designed for homes where aesthetic harmony is as important as sound, offering a smaller, gallery-inspired form that complements and elevates interior spaces. Tuned by the Samsung Audio Lab in Valencia, CA, it uses a 4" woofer and dual tweeters with a built-in waveguide for clear, balanced sound, while AI Dynamic Bass Control deepens low frequencies without distortion. Wi-Fi casting, streaming services, voice control and Bluetooth provide smart, seamless connectivity.

A More Intelligent, Connected and Immersive Sound Experience

For 11 consecutive years, Samsung has been the global leader in soundbars, driven by a commitment to engineering excellence led by the Samsung Audio Lab in California. This foundation shapes every part of the Samsung 2026 lineup, bringing together advanced acoustics, purposeful design and intelligent connectivity.

In 2026, Samsung Q-Symphony becomes even more adaptive, enabling compatible Samsung TVs, soundbars and Wi-Fi speakers to operate as a unified sound ecosystem. Samsung Q-Symphony now allows users to pair up to five sound devices with a Samsung TV. The feature can also automatically adjust sound based on your room, helping calibrate for optimal performance The result is clear dialogue and detailed surround sound, making you feel like you are in the middle of the scene.

Additionally, with Wi-Fi connectivity and the SmartThings³ app, users can control sound settings, manage group playback, and access music streaming and voice assistant features through a single, intuitive interface. SmartThings also provides instant music controls, making it easy to start listening and adjust playback from any connected mobile device.

The Samsung audio lineup also includes the all-new Sound Tower (ST50F and ST40F models) launched in late 2025, offering powerful outdoor and social listening experiences that complement the Music Studio and Soundbar families. Together, these innovations reflect Samsung's continued leadership at the frontier of home audio, uniting acoustics, design and intelligence to create a sound experience that feels effortless, expressive and deeply connected.
