Our Verdict

Samsung HW-Q70R

Yamaha YAS-408

The Samsung HW-Q70R is a slightly better soundbar system than the Yamaha YAS-408. It's more versatile, thanks to its 3.1.2 speaker configuration. This means it has a dedicated center channel, which makes voices and dialog easier to understand, and also has two up-firing speakers for Atmos content. On the other hand, the Samsung cuts out surround content, while the Yamaha is able to play it, but not Atmos content.
