![Samsung HW-S60D/ZC Slim Series Soundbar with Wireless Dolby Atmos, DTS Virtual: X, Wireless Subwoofer Compatibility, Active Voice Amplifier (AVA), Black Color [Canada Version] (2024)](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/11DKSa1rGlL._AC_.jpg)
For reference, I use the HT-S2000 in the primary bedroom, paired with a smart TV which I stream all content from. I also own two other Atmos soundbars, being the Sony HT-Z9F and Samsung HW-Q930B. I would not cross-shop the HT-S2000 to those as they both have the obvious benefits that come from separate subwoofer and surround speakers. However, I have used the HT-Z9F both with and without the surround and subwoofer, and the HT-S2000 is significantly better sounding in that scenario. Just make sure to set up this unit correctly!
Where most reviews miss the mark on this model is that it’s better suited to rooms where you don’t want to add a subwoofer or surround speakers. Both the bass and the sound field from this standalone unit is impressive.
For setup, you must change the Sound Field setting from Sony (default) to Dolby, as I found the Dolby setting gave me the clear and full sound I was hoping for. By contrast, the Sony setting sounded compressed and required higher volume level to hear dialogue. To emphasize how important this setting is, if the only option was the Sony setting, my rating would change from 5 stars to 3 stars and I would not recommend it. There is also a DTS option, but I wasn’t able to test it.
Conclusion: This is a a perfect small room soundbar for watching TV and movies. It is loud and has enough bass to enjoy movies without a subwoofer. The Dolby sound field setting provides clear dialogue and good surround/Atmos decoding without the need for surround speakers. Highly recommended if your use will be similar to mine.
