Our Verdict
Samsung HW-Q60C/Q6CC
Samsung HW-Q600C/Q60CC
The Samsung HW-Q600C/Q60CC is better than the Samsung HW-Q60C/Q6CC, especially for height content like Dolby Atmos. The Q600C has two up-firing channels, so it doesn't have to downmix Atmos content into stereo like the Q60C. The resulting sound is more clear and life-like. The Q600C has a better stereo soundstage, too.
