Our Verdict

LG S75Q

Samsung HW-Q60B

The Samsung HW-Q60B is better than the LG S75Q for most uses. The Samsung is a 3.1 setup, and it has a more neutral sound out-of-the-box, especially in the treble range. As a result, higher-pitched sounds like cymbals are more detailed in the mix. It has a graphic EQ for customization, too. However, the LG's better for Dolby Atmos content since it offers up-firing height drivers, while the Samsung's advertised up-firing drivers aren't for height content.
