Soundbars were already a first choice solution to enjoy immersive sound with a minimum footprint. This year, Samsung is doing even better with its new reference, the HW-S800B, which measures only 3.8 centimeters in height. A feat that allows you to enjoy quality spatialized sound from a device that could not be more discreet.
To celebrate the launch of its brand new soundbar model, the Korean manufacturer is sending us a generous offer. Launched at a price of 749 euros, the Samsung HW-S800B benefits from a discount increasing its price to 599 euros.

In 2022, you won’t find a more discreet soundbar than the Samsung HW-S800B. With its 3.8 cm height and 3.9 cm depth, it can be placed in front of a television in all discretion, without any risk of concealing the image. Beyond these dimensions, the sober and neat design of this sound bar gives it a sobriety that will not mar the decoration of your interior.
The Samsung HW-S800B comes with a subwoofer that benefits from the same design attention. To top it all off, it’s cordless, so you can place it wherever you want, without dragging a long, unsightly cable.
An immersive sound experience for movies
Despite its small size, the Samsung HW-S800B has a total of 10 speakers. A configuration that offers 3.1.2-channel reproduction: three channels for horizontal spatialization, two others for vertical spatialization and a final one for the bass. This way you can hear sounds coming from the ceiling or the sides, even if the device is in front of you.
This is the ideal configuration to enjoy the best sound immersion, with enveloping sound. Especially since the Samsung HW-S800B supports audio formats surround Virtual DTS:X and Dolby Atmos.
