Samsung has announced its 2026 audio lineup, representing a significant leap into how sound is experienced across the modern home. Ahead of its showcase at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the new range introduces advanced soundbars and Wi-Fi speakers designed to deliver richer audio, smarter connectivity, and seamless multi-device integration.
With this new extension, Samsung continues to solidify its position as a world leader in home audio innovation. The 2026 lineup focuses on immersive sound, refined design, and intelligent performance that adapts to different spaces and listening habits.
As Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, said, “At Samsung, we are committed to elevating every daily listening experience.” He added that Samsung’s new sound devices are focused on expressive sound, refined aesthetics, and advanced functionality that fits perfectly into modern lifestyles.
Next-generation Q-series soundbars
Powering the center of Samsung’s 2026 lineup is the flagship Q-Series soundbar range, built to bring cinema-quality sound to homes around the world. The HW-Q990H soundbar features Sound Elevation technology for clearer dialogue by elevating vocals toward the screen for a more natural listening experience. It will also introduce Auto Volume, which normalizes audio levels across content.
The premium variant boasts 11.1.4 configuration, mixing up a main soundbar, rear speakers, and a powerful, built-in subwoofer. With up-firing channels and AI-based sound tuning, this system creates a wide, immersive sound stage that is easily comparable to professional home theaters.
For more flexibility, Samsung introduced the HW-QS90H All-in-One Soundbar, targeted at wall mounting and/or tabletop use. Because of its integrated gyro sensor, it will automatically flip sound depending on orientation. With the 7.1.2-channel system and the integrated Quad Bass Woofer, deep and rich, room-filling sound is realized without an external subwoofer.
Music Studio Series: Where Style Meets Sound
Meanwhile, Samsung further expanded its audio portfolio with a new Music Studio 5 and Music Studio 7 Wi-Fi speakers that marry superior sound quality with classically sophisticated design. Designed in collaboration with respected designer Erwan Bouroullec, the speakers boast a minimalist look with roots in eternal artistic forms.
The Music Studio 7 has a truly immersive 3.1.1-channel setup, enhanced by advanced audio processing, AI-powered bass control, and high-resolution audio support up to 24-bit/96kHz. Meanwhile, its compact counterpart, the Music Studio 5, is centered around balanced sound and interior-friendly design, promising crystal clear vocal and rich bass through intelligent tuning and modern connectivity options.
Smarter, Connected Audio Ecosystem
Seamless integration is also furthered in Samsung’s 2026 audio lineup through its enhanced Q-Symphony technology. A user can now connect a number of Samsung audio devices all at once for seamless integration that allows soundbars, TVs, and speakers to collaborate as one cohesive system. The technology automatically analyzes room layout to optimize sound placement for clearer dialogue and immersive surround effects. It can also be easily controlled and set up through Wi-Fi connectivity using the SmartThings app to manage settings, stream music, and control playback across devices.
Samsung has also expanded voice control support and multi-room audio; making everyday listening much more intuitive. Completing the lineup are the newest Sound Tower models, targeted at social and outdoor entertainment. Combined, Samsung’s 2026 audio offerings mark a bold step forward toward a more connected, intelligent, and immersive sound experience for homes globally.
