The Samsung HW-S60T is alright for mixed use. While this soundbar lacks thump and rumble, it delivers punchy bass and a neutral mid and treble, which is suitable for podcasts or audiobooks. If you're looking for more bass, Samsung sells a compatible wireless subwoofer separately, but even on its own, it's also decently suited for a variety of music, and its soundstage is wide and focused enough to help give you a more immersive movie experience. It can get loud enough for big or crowded rooms. However, there are some compression artifacts at max volume.
