1. Samsung HW-Q990C

Best overall soundbar for Samsung S95C

It's not a huge shock that the best soundbar for the Samsung S95C is also from Samsung. In fact, the company has a few entries on this list because, let's be honest, it just makes sense that the brand that manufactures the TV is going to manufacture a highly compatible soundbar to match.

To top our list, we've picked out the Samsung HW-Q990C as it's an immense 48.5" wide soundbar that can output audio in a way that'll have you questioning what's going on... in a good way. It does this through its 22 speakers firing out audio in every direction, utilising Dolby Atmos at the same time to provide a 3D surround sound effect.

In terms of connections, you can hook up this soundbar via Bluetooth or HDMI, and comes with wireless speakers so that you can set up a more all-encompassing soundscape.

Adding to all this, it features both a Night Mode that reduces the bass, and something called Game Mode Pro 2.0, which is designed to optimise the directional sound based on what you're playing. In other words, it has just about everything you need to get the most out of your Samsung S95C TV.

2. Samsung Q800D

Best soundbar for Samsung S95C with 3D Audio

Next is another Samsung soundbar, albeit one that's a fair bit cheaper. While this soundbar isn't as pricey, it can still help up the ante on whatever you're watching or playing, and can produce 3D sound thanks to 5 channels, and one subwoofer to help create an all-encompassing audio experience.

One of the coolest aspects of this is that it can easily control other devices too thanks to integration with most of the big smart assistants and services. It's also got amazing wireless connectivity, which is always a win.

Again, Samsung boasts about its soundbar's ability to produce an immersive 3D soundscape thanks to wireless Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Samsung's own 3D Object-Based Sound technology. All these combine to make it an excellent soundbar overall, but especially good when paired with the S95C.

3. Denon Home Sound Bar 550

Best small soundbar for Samsung S95C

Being one of the more compact soundbars featured on this list, the Denon Home Sound Bar 550 is an ideal choice for individuals tight on space. Despite its modest dimensions though, it excels in delivering immersive 3D sound, courtesy of its blend of tweets and drivers. Additionally, it effortlessly handles advanced audio formats like Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, ensuring a remarkable and spacious audio experience.

One of our favourite features with this one, however, is that it's really easy to control with your voice. Alongside having Alexa built-in, you can change tracks when listening to music, adjust the volume, or change the input with a voice command. While this may seem a little over the top at first, you won't be able to look back once you try it out.

It's important to note that you have the option to connect devices to it using both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Therefore, when looking to seamlessly integrate a soundbar into your home, consider this compact Denon device.

4. Sonos Arc

Best midrange soundbar for Samsung S95C

The Sonos Arc is a very versatile soundbar that can do an excellent job no matter what TV you pair it with. Sonos usually manufactures high-quality equipment, with the Arc being one of the strongest soundbars the company has to offer.

Firstly, it features Dolby Atmos for intense, immersive surround sound, making for a more realistic experience as if you were actually in whatever show, film, or game you're playing. When dialogue is key though, simply switch on Speech Enhancement for greater clarity to ensure you never miss a word.

This device comes with an app too, that can be used to play music and listen to podcasts without your TV switched on. It's also very good-looking as far as long speakers go, which is great if you've got a neutral-coloured living room and looking to add in technology that's going to match your decor. All in all, a great soundbar for a very reasonable price.

Best budget soundbar for Samsung S95C

If you're looking for a great budget soundbar for the Samsung S95C, then the Sony HT-G700 has you covered. Although it's relatively cheap by comparison, it still features multiple sound modes to better suit whatever kind of media you're enjoying, and it comes with a night mode to make sure you can still hear everything that's going on when trying to keep disturbances to a minimum.

It can also upscale standard audio into surround sound, meaning even regular sounds can be experienced in a more all-encompassing way.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Don't worry if you've got some questions. We've answered some commonly asked queries below...

Are all soundbars compatible with the Samsung S95C?

In general, soundbars are designed to be compatible with various TVs, including this Samsung model. It all comes down to connectivity though, so you should check the port options on both the TV and the soundbar before purchasing to ensure they match up to one another.

Common connection methods include HDMI, optical, and Bluetooth, all of which the Samsung S95C has/supports. In fact, the TV has four HDMI ports in total, meaning you can hook up more than just a soundbar to it if you have multiple devices or a console you want to connect as well.

Just make sure you do your research, as we can't categorically say every soundbar is compatible with the Samsung S95C.

Is it worth getting a soundbar for a Samsung TV?

Absolutely. We're obviously a little biased here, but we think that once you've gone to a soundbar, you're going to struggle to ever use a TV without one. While a full surround system is nice, a soundbar offers a lot of that same functionality in a far smaller and simpler package. The boost one offers is amazing, and definitely worth investing in if you want to get the best audio possible.
