We’ve purchased the product and are waiting for it to arrive in our lab.
I think it’s a nice sound bar but I would like to get the point of view of a professional
Can anyone tell me the difference between the Q60C vs the Q60CC from Costco? The Q60C found everywhere says it is a 3.1 soundbar system, but the Q60CC, sold in Costco, says it is a 3.1.2 soundbar. Also, the specs for the weight of the soundbars are different. The Q60C says it weighs 7.7 lbs vs the Q60CC which says it weighs 8.4 lbs on the Costco web page.
Well, I found the answer to my question on Reddit. The Samsung Q60CC sold at Costco is not the equivalent to the Q60C sold elsewhere. Instead, it is the equivalent of the Q600C. So I guess that the Q60CC is superior to the Q60C at the same price that you could pay for the Q60C elsewhere. Buy the Q60CC at Costco. I plan to do it at holiday discounts!
The product has arrived in our lab, and our testers will start evaluating it soon.
Great!
Hello guys hooe you are well. I have this soundbar, do you know hou many center speakers 1 or 2 , or 1 divided in two? Because if I go closer to center speaker, sound seems a little more to center “left” . Is that normal or do I have a some bad center speaker? Thanks
There’s only one center speaker on this soundbar. You might want to reach out to the manufacturer directly if you feel that there’s an issue with your model!
Our testers have started testing this product; is there anything specific you’re looking to see? Let us know in this thread.

Hi. One of the reasons I bought this soundbar was that Rtings says it has a graphic EQ, but I cannon find it. Where is it? There is no WiFi and my phone can only control volume. Please clarify.
Hello soroosh-afzali,
You can access the 7-band eq by holding the “Sound control” button (gear icon) on the bar’s remote for about 5 seconds. You just have to make sure the sound mode is on “standard”.
I have an old 5.1 samsung surround system. I am planning to use the rear speaker for my Q600 but is there any wireless module available to connect my old rears?
Witam, czy głośnik centralny powinien grać głośniej od pozostałych?
So I can’t passthrough at 4k 60hz to tv if i have a PS5/ Xbox Series X?
The Samsung HW-Q600C/Q60CC can in fact passthrough 4k content @ 60 Hz from a PS5 or an Xbox Series X!
How does it compare to LG sp8ya?
Hello!
You an actually use our comparison tool to see an in-depth comparison between both of these models. Hope it helps!
Update: We’ve converted this review to Test Bench Update 1.3. If applicable, we’ve retested stereo sound based on the manufacturer’s recommendations. Additionally, we’ve expanded our audio latency tests to the following boxes: Audio Latency: ARC, Audio Latency: HDMI In, and Audio Latency: Optical. You can see the full changelog here.
Hello,
I have a tv tcl c805. Would it be this soundbar a good option? will it allow me to use tv speakers + soundbar at the same time? Any other soundbar suggestion? Thanks in advance.

I am very confused by this review. I have just been in contact with Samsung and they absolutely deny that the HW-Q60CC is the same as the HW-Q600C. They adamantly claim that the HW-Q60CC is a SKU used by other sellers such as Costco and Amazon and that it is, in fact, a HW-Q60C equivalent and NOT a HW-600C equivalent. Near identical pricing between the HW-Q60C and the HW-Q60CC (around $300ish) further support this particularly when compared to the pricing of the HW-Q600C (around $400ish). There is a considerable difference in Speaker Max Output Power between the HW-Q60CC and the HW-Q600C and the HW-Q600C has two up-firing speakers (3.1.2) while the HW-Q60CC downmixes to stereo (3.1). ALL of this is confirmed with a Samsung Rep. So what gives? I’m confused.
Hi Cliff, We hear you’re confusion for sure, and we’ll do what we can to try and find clarification. At this time though, we agree, it’s a bit unclear. We’ve reached out to Samsung to try and get confirmation, and we’ll update our review if/when we get a response. We just wouldn’t want to further speculate as we wouldn’t want to risk providing incorrect information. The concern with representatives from customer support, is we’ve seen some misleading information come from those channels in the past (not always, but enough to leave some uncertainty). Sorry about that!
Thanks for that. I’m still in the market for a Samsung Soundbar but I’ve decided to wait until Fall/Holiday sales. Any additional info you guys can find would be helpful. Agree in that I found my Samsung Rep a bit sketchy and unclear with answers. Glad you guys are here. You really informed my recent TV and 4k player purchase. This stuff gets complicated and I’ve found the most useful info right here at RTINGS.
The Q600C can definitely pass through 4K HDR10 at 120hz very well. I don’t understand why you say it’s not supported. Picture and sound are great and it’s definitely 120hz. And eArc is HDMI 2.1 anyway. Also you said the audio sync is not good between TV and the HDMI in. It’s perfect on my TV and 4K Blu-ray player. I have one cable going to the TV and use the other cable going to the 4K player and the audio sync is perfect.
Update: We’ve updated the Sound Enhancement Features box to add a mention of the Samsung HW-S60D.
You are right. RTINGS is slowly loosing credibility with poor testing being done.
Hi Encode_GR,
Thanks for your comment bringing this back to our attention. We’re going to retest this to validate the compatibility. We’ll update the review with our new results after we retest on our unit.
Thanks, Matt
Update: Due to a retest, we confirmed that the soundbar can do 4k at 120Hz and 1080p at 120Hz. Subsequently, we’ve updated the text and score in the Video Passthrough to TV section.
