Samsung has taken the wrapper off its CES 2026 sound range. The new HW-Q990H is an upgrade to the high-end soundbar. was expected, but the LS50H Wi-Fi speaker was a surprise. Here's what we know.
Music studio speakers
The LS70H is a 3.1.1 surround sound speaker.
The company introduced two new Wi-Fi speakers: Music Studio 5 (LS50H) and Music Studio 7 (LS70H). the larger one offers Dolby Atmos compatibility. Both feature distinctive looks from designer Erwan Bouroullec.
The LS70H is a 3.1.1 channel surround sound speaker that can work as a standalone speaker or in combination with compatible Samsung Wi-Fi speakers, soundbars or TVs. It features up to 24-bit/96kHz audio processing and Bluetooth connectivity. The smaller LS50H model features a 4-inch speaker and two tweeters.
Dolby Atmos sound bars
Meanwhile, the HW-Q990H is an 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar that includes surround sound and dual 8-inch wireless subwoofers. The Sound Bar introduces several new features, including Sound Elevation, which moves dialogue to the center of the screen, and Auto Volume, which ensures the same volume on all channels.
The HW-QS90H is a single-speaker soundbar with 7.1.2 channels. It includes built-in subwoofers and features a Convertible Fit design with a built-in gyro sensor that adapts the sound signature depending on the orientation of the wall mount or AV rack.
Prospects
The soundbars follow the company's new product announcement. Micro RGB TVs and many more products will follow at CES. I reviewed several high quality Samsung soundbars, each of which was designed in Samsung Audio Lab — and expect the Q990H to sound pretty decent. The Wi-Fi speakers are also intriguing. I kind of need this Music Studio 5 (LS50H) just to look at it.
The availability of speakers and soundbars has not yet been announced.
