The new Samsung Sound Bars detect what's on the screen to optimize output

Both have "Adaptive Sound" technology, which means that they can analyze the content on a television screen and adjust to the ideal sound for any given scene. So, while it may mean beefier bass for action scenes and clearer tones for dialogs, it should also end the deafening volume of commercial breaks.

Both also feature WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, Samsung's exclusive technology, Acoustic Beam, which uses a multitude of holes in the speaker to fill every corner of a room, as well as the Samsung's "One Remote" and an external subwoofer. They go on sale in April for $ 500 for the HW-Q60R and $ 800 for the HW-Q70R.
