Samsung HW-N950 soundbar system review

We were huge fans of Samsung’s HW-K950 soundbar, launched in 2016. Leveraging the sonic expertise of a new audio R&D facility in California, it did Dolby Atmos in 7.1.4 and wowed our ears with every movie. Yet it missed some out-of-the-box features, such as DTS:X support.
