Our Verdict

Harman/Kardon Enchant 1300

Samsung HW-Q600A

The Samsung HW-Q600A is better than the Harman/Kardon Enchant 1300. Thanks to its dedicated subwoofer, the Samsung can reproduce more of the thump and rumble in your audio. It also supports Dolby Atmos content. As for sound enhancement features, the Samsung has a graphic EQ, whereas the Harman/Kardon has room correction. That said, the 5.0 Harman/Kardon has better soundstage and surround performances.
