During CES, Samsung unveiled a fresh collection of speakers and a pair of its upcoming 2026 soundbars. The firm has now disclosed prices for this full range of audio equipment, encompassing two soundbars not featured in its Las Vegas exhibit. Most items in this lineup, excluding a couple, can be ordered immediately, allowing quick access to the latest Samsung sound solutions.
The Music Studio 7 and Music Studio 5 represent the initial offerings in this speaker series. The Music Studio 7 features a boxy shape and operates as a 3.1.1-channel system, incorporating left, right, and center channels plus a woofer and an upward-firing driver. Priced at $500, it includes Pattern Control technology to distribute audio uniformly across the space with reduced distortion. The rounder Music Studio 5 employs a 2.1-channel design with two tweeters and one woofer, utilizing waveguide tech for balanced sound dispersion, and is available for $300.
These speakers from the Music Studio line employ AI-driven adjustments to tailor audio output according to the environment and media type. Key elements include Samsung's Dynamic Bass Control and SpaceFit Sound Pro for acoustic optimization, along with Active Voice Amplifier Pro to enhance spoken elements.
Either model can be paired for a home entertainment system and integrates with matching TVs or soundbars via Samsung's Q-Symphony technology, which synchronizes multiple speakers for a surround experience. The company is enhancing Q-Symphony to support as many as five compatible audio units, with automatic sound tweaks based on their positions.
Samsung introduced its top-tier soundbar, the Q990H, during CES. It retains a familiar design used for several years. This 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos system, which includes rear satellites and a subwoofer, is priced at $2,000. It incorporates established home theater tools such as Dynamic Bass Control, SpaceFit Sound Pro, and Adaptive Sound, plus two fresh additions for the 2026 models.
One innovation is Sound Elevation, which positions dialogue audio to align with on-screen character locations instead of the soundbar's spot. Another is Auto Volume, designed to prevent abrupt loudness changes when changing channels or apps.
Among the 2026 soundbars, the QS90H stood out at CES as Samsung's inaugural integrated unit, promising sufficient bass without an external subwoofer. Priced at $1,000, its 7.1.2-channel configuration with four internal woofers delivered strong bass performance in demonstrations.
Similar to the QS700F, the QS90H features a gyro sensor that identifies whether it's placed on a surface or wall-mounted, enabling automatic audio modifications to maintain quality regardless of setup. It supports Q-Symphony, SpaceFit Sound Pro, Adaptive Sound, Active Voice Amplifier Pro, and Dynamic Bass Control, in addition to Sound Elevation and Auto Volume.
Samsung also announced two soundbars absent from CES discussions: the Q930H at $1,500 and the Q800H at $1,100, both positioned below the Q990H in the hierarchy. The Q930H offers a 9.1.4-channel setup with included rear speakers and subwoofer, featuring Q-Symphony, SpaceFit Sound Pro, Adaptive Sound, Active Voice Amplifier Pro, and Sound Elevation. The Q800H provides these in a 5.1.2-channel format with a subwoofer, sharing an angular aesthetic with the Q900H.
Currently available for purchase are the Music Studio 7, Music Studio 5, Q990H, and Q800H. The Q930H and QS90H remain slated for future release.
