Samsung has announced a broad expansion of its home audio ecosystem for 2026, introducing new soundbars, Wi-Fi speakers, and smarter multi-device audio features designed to work more tightly across its TVs, mobile devices, and smart home products.
The announcement covers multiple product categories and signals a continued shift toward an integrated, multi-device audio platform.
New soundbars anchor the 2026 audio lineup
At the center of the lineup are two new soundbars: the HW-Q990H and the HW-QS90H.
The HW-Q990H is the newest addition to Samsung’s Q-Series range and is positioned as the company’s flagship home theater soundbar for 2026. It combines an 11.1.4 channel system with the main bar, two rear speakers, and a built-in 8-inch subwoofer. Samsung highlights improved immersion and closer integration with its TVs.
The HW-QS90H is described as an all-in-one soundbar with a convertible design intended to adapt to different room layouts and mounting options. It is a 7.1.2 channel system with 13 drivers and a built-in Quad Bass Woofer system.
Music Studio speakers expand beyond the TV
Alongside soundbars, Samsung introduced two new Wi-Fi speakers under its Music Studio lineup: the Music Studio 5 (LS50H) and Music Studio 7 (LS70H).
These speakers are designed for wireless, multi-room audio and are not tied exclusively to TV playback.
The Samsung Music Studio LS70H delivers 3.1.1-channel spatial audio, with audio processing up to 24-bit / 96 kHz. It is available in black and white and can be paired with additional units or Samsung TVs via Q-Symphony. The Samsung Music Studio LS50H uses a 4-inch woofer and dual tweeters with a built-in waveguide.
Q-Symphony brings deeper multi-device audio integration
For 2026, Samsung is expanding Q-Symphony to function as a more adaptive, system-wide audio layer across its TVs, soundbars, and Wi-Fi speakers.
The updated implementation now allows users to pair up to five audio devices with a compatible Samsung TV. Q-Symphony then analyzes room layout and device placement to distribute audio channels more effectively across the connected speakers. This results in clearer dialogue and more precise surround effects, with sound positioned more accurately within the listening space.
For example, dialogue might route primarily through the TV’s center channel while ambient effects spread across the rear Music Studio speakers
Samsung is also extending control through Wi-Fi connectivity and the SmartThings app. From a single interface, users can adjust sound settings, manage group playback across multiple speakers, and access supported music streaming and voice assistant features. SmartThings additionally enables instant music controls from connected mobile devices, making it easier to start playback and manage listening sessions across the home.
More details
Samsung is expected to share deeper technical details, specifications, pricing, and availability information during CES 2026, where the new audio lineup will be shown in greater detail.
