Our Verdict

Sony HT-Z9F

Samsung HW-Q800A

The Samsung HW-Q800A is a better soundbar than the Sony HT-Z9F. The Samsung offers better soundstage, surround, and Atmos performances, and it reproduces a more extended low-bass. It also comes with bass and treble adjustments as well as a graphic EQ to help you customize its sound. Unlike the Sony, it also has built-in voice assistant support.
