Our Verdict

Samsung HW-Q800B

Samsung HW-Q800C

The Samsung HW-Q800C is the next generation of the Samsung HW-Q800B, and it's a bit better overall. These two setups have no major differences, though the Q800C has a slightly more balanced overall sound. It gets louder too, though there's a bit more compression at max volume. The newer version also offers a lower latency performance across all connection types.
