Our Verdict

Harman/Kardon Enchant 1300

Samsung HW-Q950T

The Samsung HW-Q950T is better than the Harman/Kardon Enchant 1300. The Samsung is a 9.1.4 setup with a dedicated sub that helps reproduce a more extended low-bass. It supports Dolby Atmos content, and it has a better surrounds performance. It also gets louder, and it has a graphic EQ and built-in voice assistant support. That said, the 5.0 Harman/Kardon is better-built with room correction. It also has a better soundstage.
