Samsung HW-S801D (HW-S801D/UA)

The ultra-thin acoustic system from the S series by the popular brand Samsung, introduced to the market in 2024, is designed to work in conjunction with large TVs with a diagonal of 65 inches and above. The model is built on a 3.1.2 channel setup and provides surround sound with support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and DTS Virtual:X, allowing for a rich soundscape with vertical and side channels without the need for additional rear speakers.

The total power output is 330 W, with the bass provided by a wireless subwoofer with a 165 mm driver. Despite the extremely compact dimensions of the main panel (height — only 38 mm), the body houses 10 drivers, which effectively distribute sound throughout the room. The Samsung HW-S801D soundbar supports key multichannel audio formats, including Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus, and provides access to streaming platforms like Spotify through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, and Chromecast interfaces.

For connecting to signal sources, there are HDMI input and HDMI output with ARC. Control is possible with both the included remote control and the TV remote, as well as through voice assistants Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. The compact body, universal feature set, and up-to-date audio technologies make this soundbar a potentially interesting solution for users who value high-quality sound without bulky setups.
