Our Verdict

Samsung HW-Q60T

Samsung HW-Q700A

The Samsung HW-Q700A is a better soundbar than the Samsung HW-Q60T. The HW-Q700A supports Dolby Atmos content, and it has better center and soundstage performances. It also supports more wireless playback options, and you can plug in a third-party voice assistant device, unlike the HW-Q60T.
