Samsung has announced two co-branded premium
soundbars – the HW-N950 and HW-N850, in collaboration with Harman Kardon. The
company says that the HW-N950 and HW-N850 soundbars are the first major
collaboration between Samsung and Harman Kardon to enter the premium category.
The HW-N950 and HW-N850 are capable of offering
theater-like experience thanks to Dolby Atmos and DTS:X technologies, plus up
and side-firing speakers that move sound naturally above and around listeners.
The HW-N950 comes equipped with the main unit, four speakers and two wireless
surround sound speakers, offering an incredibly immersive sound experience.
It packs 7.1 channels which are currently the
largest number of channels available in a soundbar. The HW-N950 features a
built-in wireless subwoofer and rear wireless speaker kit to round out the
premium audio experience. The HW-N850, a more simplified version of the
HW-N950, boasts a 5.1.2 channel featuring a main unit speaker and woofer.
The HW-N950 and HW-N850 feature both Samsung and
Harman Kardon’s logos and will be available from August 20 and cost US$ 1,699.99 and US$ 1,199.99.
