Samsung’s Music Studio speakers and two of its 2026 soundbars are available now

Back at CES, Samsung showed off a new line of speakers and two of its 2026 soundbars. Today, the company announced pricing for its entire line of new products, including two soundbars that weren’t in its Vegas showroom. All but two of the new devices are available to order now, so you may not have to wait to get your hands on some new Samsung audio hardware.
Let’s start with the Music Studio 7 and Music Studio 5 speakers. The Music Studio 7 is the most rectangular model of the duo. This is a 3.1.1 channel unit with left, right and center speakers as well as a woofer and an upward-firing speaker. This $500 device also features Pattern Control technology to direct sound evenly throughout the room while keeping distortion to a minimum. The more circular Music Studio 5 has a 2.1-channel setup consisting of two tweeters and a single woofer. It features waveguide technology to evenly disperse sound and costs $300.
Music Studio 7 and Music Studio 5 use AI processing to personalize sound based on the room and content. These capabilities come in the form of Samsung’s Dynamic Bass Control and SpaceFit Sound Pro room calibration features. Both speakers also use Active Voice Amplifier Pro to energize dialogue.

Yes, that means you can use a pair of either model as a living room setup. In fact, they can work with a compatible TV or soundbar to use Samsung’s Q-Symphony feature that uses all of your speakers as an immersive group. Samsung is also expanding Q-Symphony to work with up to five of its audio devices and the feature will automatically adjust sound based on speaker placement. These upgrades sound an awful lot like LG’s Sound Suite and Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, if you ask me.
Samsung unveiled its flagship soundbar, the Q990H, at CES. Unfortunately, the company is sticking with the same overall design that it has been using for about years now, so I think it’s time for a change. This is the company’s 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos option, which comes with rear satellite speakers and a subwoofer for $2,000. Samsung’s home theater features like Dynamic Bass Control, SpaceFit Sound Pro, and Adaptive Sound are all present, but there are also two new features on the Q990H for 2026.
First, Samsung promises that Sound Elevation will improve audio by making dialogue seem like it’s coming from where the characters are on the screen rather than the position of your soundbar. There’s also auto volume, which is supposed to eliminate sudden volume jumps when you change channels or streaming services.
The QS90H is the member of Samsung’s 2026 soundbar lineup that really impressed me at CES. The company says this is its first “all-in-one” soundbar, meaning you shouldn’t have to use a subwoofer to get adequate bass. Other companies have made this claim, and it’s almost never true, but the $1,000 QS90H produced excellent low-end sound in Vegas. This is thanks to four built-in woofers and an overall 7.1.2 channel setup.

The QS90H has a similar design to the existing QS700 soundbar (Samsung)
Like the QS700F, the QS90H has a gyro sensor that automatically detects whether it’s lying flat on a shelf or mounted on a wall. This allows the soundbar to automatically adjust sound based on its position so you don’t sacrifice performance for what’s best in your home. The QS90H also offers Q-Symphony, SpaceFit Sound Pro room calibration, Adaptive Sound, Active Voice Amplifier Pro and Dynamic Bass Control, as well as the Q990H’s new audio lift and auto volume features.
Two other soundbars that Samsung didn’t talk about at CES are the Q930H ($1,500) and the Q800H ($1,100). As you might expect from the numbers, both of these models sit below the Q990H in the company’s lineup. The Q930H is a 9.1.4 channel option that comes with rear speakers and a subwoofer in the box. In terms of features, Q-Symphony, SpaceFit Sound Pro room calibration, Adaptive Sound, Voice Amplifier Pro, and Sound Elevation are all there. Upgrade to the Q800H and you’ll get all these features in a 5.1.2-channel arrangement. However, this soundbar only comes with a subwoofer. It’s also worth noting that the Q930H and Q800H have a similar angular design to the Q900H.
The Music Studio 7, Music Studio 5, Q990H and Q800H are available now. The Q930H and QS90H are still listed as “coming soon.”
