+ 51. Samsung HW-Q990C
Best overall soundbar for Samsung S95C
Size: 48.5"
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.

Best soundbar for Samsung S95C with AirPlay
Size: 43.7"
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.
Interestingly, this soundbar analyses your room to better calibrate itself to the space, and is a bit easier to set up and get right as a result. It can also connect with iOS devices thanks to AirPlay 2, which means you can use it as a speaker instead of just a soundbar - a nice touch if you've got a party going, or just don't fancy having the telly on.
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. There's a lot to like here, which is ultimately made better by its relatively inexpensive price tag.

Best small soundbar for Samsung S95C
Size: 25.95"
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.

Best midrange soundbar for Samsung S95C
Size: 45"
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
Size: 38.6"
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. It's also easy to set up, and it comes with a wireless subwoofer which, given the price, is a huge bonus that can ensure you're getting the most out of whatever you're watching.
It's easy to connect to as well, either wirelessly via Bluetooth or directly through the HDMI eARC/ARC or optical digital input for full-bandwidth sound. Plenty of reasons then as to why the Sony HT-G700 is, in our opinion, a great soundbar for the Samsung S95C TV.
