Side-by-Side Comparison

	Furrion FSBNN30MX	Samsung HW-QS700F
Channel layout Counts speaker channels the bar actually has. More ear-level and height channels means a wider, taller sound field.	2.1	3.1.2
Height channels Drivers aimed at the ceiling, which is what makes Dolby Atmos sound overhead rather than just wide.	0	2
Dolby Atmos	No	Yes
DTS:X	No	No
HDMI to the TV eARC carries lossless Dolby TrueHD and Atmos from the TV; plain ARC compresses them.	ARC	eARC
HDMI inputs A spare HDMI port for a games console or disc player.	0	1
Video pass-through	—	4K
Subwoofer Included beats optional beats none: a separate subwoofer is where deep bass comes from.	Included	Included
Rear speakers Real rear speakers put effects behind you; without them surround is simulated from the front.	None	Optional
Room correction	No	—
Streaming	Bluetooth only	Wi-Fi + AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect
Voice assistant Built in, rather than through a separate smart speaker.	No	Alexa built-in, Google Assistant optional
Dialogue enhancement	No	Yes
Height Lower is less likely to block the bottom of the TV picture.	3.75 in	2 in
Width / suits TVs from Neither is better: match the bar to your TV. See the size simulator below.	39.38 in / 50-inch	45.69 in / 55-inch
Drivers in the bar	6	8
Power (total, as published) Makers rate soundbar power differently, so the totals are not a like-for-like comparison.	70 W	—
Weight	8.4 lbs	9.7 lbs
List price	$700	$698
