Our Verdict
Samsung HW-Q600C/Q60CC
Samsung HW-S60D
The Samsung HW-600C/Q60C is a better-performing soundbar than the Samsung HW-S60D and will likely be the better choice unless you value a small form factor or need a wide variety of sound customization options. The longer HW-600C comes with a subwoofer that helps output far more low-bass than the standalone HW-S60D. The two bars have a similar center channel performance and reproduce mid-range frequencies well, so they're both great choices for TV show dialogue. The HW-600C can get louder with minimal compression and has a better height performance with Atmos. That said, it lacks the HW-S60D's room correction tool and built-in Chromecast capabilities.
