Samsung HW-B73WF 5.1 Soundbar vs LG S60T Sound Bar

The Samsung HW-B73WF/ZA is the stronger pick for most people. It gives you a true 5.1 layout with side and center channels, DTS Virtual:X height effects, and AI sound optimization, while the LG S60T is a simpler 3.1 bar with Dolby Audio and a solid wireless sub. The LG has far more owner feedback and a lower-risk feel, but the Samsung's extra channels and Samsung TV integration (Q Symphony) make it the better centerpiece for a movie setup.

  • Choose the Samsung B-Series if you want real surround separation, a center channel for dialogue, and you own a Samsung TV for Q Symphony.
  • Choose the LG S60T if you want a compact, straightforward 3.1 bar with Dolby Audio and a well-reviewed track record.

What reviewers say

Samsung HW-B73WF 5.1 Soundbar

  • 4.9 / 511 ratings

Owners give it very high marks, praising the clear dialogue, strong bass and easy setup. The main reservation is that the virtual surround is convincing but not the same as a true multi-speaker system.

What people mention
  • DialoguePraisedOwners say voices stay clear even during loud action scenes.
  • BassPraisedThe wireless subwoofer is described as deep and room-filling for its size.
  • SetupPraisedBuyers report it connects and pairs quickly with little fuss.
  • Surround effectMixedReviewers find the virtual surround wide but short of a real rear-speaker setup.

LG S60T Sound Bar

  • 4.5 / 5260 ratings

Owners rate it well for dialogue clarity and easy setup at its level. Most praise the bass from the wireless subwoofer and the clean look. Complaints center on the limited connections and the lack of Atmos.

What people mention
  • Dialogue clarityPraisedOwners say voices stay clear in movies and sports thanks to the center channel.
  • BassPraisedThe wireless subwoofer delivers strong bass for its size, per owners.
  • SetupPraisedBuyers report fast setup over HDMI ARC or optical with the included remote.
  • ConnectionsCriticised

Questions and answers

Which is better for movies?
The Samsung. Its 5.1 layout with side and center channels and DTS Virtual:X creates a wider, taller soundstage. The LG's 3.1 setup is clear but flatter.
Which has clearer dialogue?
Both have a center channel, but the Samsung's dedicated center plus real-time AI optimization keeps voices anchored during loud scenes. The LG's deep-learning leveling also helps, so the gap is small.
Do I need a Samsung TV to get the most from the Samsung bar?
Q Symphony only works with compatible Samsung TVs. Without one you still get 5.1, DTS Virtual:X and AI sound, so it stands on its own.
Which is easier to fit in a small room?
The LG. At 33.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches tall it slots under most TVs and takes less shelf space than the wider Samsung bar.
Is the Samsung worth stepping up to over the LG?
Yes if surround separation and height effects matter to you. If you want a simple, proven bar for a smaller space, the LG covers the basics well.
Which has more reliable owner feedback?
The LG, with 260 ratings averaging 4.5. The Samsung's 4.9 comes from only 11 ratings, so treat it as early signal.
