Samsung HW-S60D review: An affordable upgrade from TV speakers, but only if that TV’s a Samsung
Jun 1, 2025
Only for the Samsung TV owners — again
Tom's Guide Verdict
Samsung’s HW-S60D could be one of the best soundbars… but only if you have a Samsung TV. While the S60D has a range of premium features that make its $349 MSRP much more appealing, said features are restricted to Samsung TVs.
Features like Wireless Dolby Atmos and Active Voice Analyzer are unfortunately only available on compatible Samsung TVs, so I was unable to experience these while testing on my Panasonic.
That’s not to say the S60D is a bad soundbar — if you’ve got a Samsung TV, it could be a great way to upgrade from the built-in TV speakers for a relatively affordable price. However, if you’ve got any other brand (or an older Samsung model), then you’d be better off with something else. Don’t worry, I’ll go through all the details in my Samsung HW-S60D soundbar review.
