Samsung HW-QS700F soundbar hits record low at $355.49

Samsung soundbar hits a new low price

The Samsung HW-QS700F soundbar is on sale for $355.49 in open-box condition at Woot. That's a significant drop from its original list price of $799.99.

This price comfortably beats its previous low of $397.99 on Amazon, where it currently sells for $597.99. The "open-box" designation means the packaging may be damaged, but the full kit is included.

What you get in the box

The sale includes the complete setup. You receive the soundbar, a wireless subwoofer, an HDMI cable, a wall mount kit, rubber feet, and a remote with batteries.

Woot is an Amazon-owned retailer, so the purchase process and customer service should be familiar to most shoppers.

A flexible 3.1.2-channel system

This is a 3.1.2-channel soundbar system. The configuration breaks down into specific components:

• Left, right, and center channel speakers
• A dedicated wireless subwoofer
• Two upward-firing speakers for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X height effects

Its key feature is the "Convertible Fit" design. Built-in sensors detect if the soundbar is placed flat on a stand or mounted vertically on a wall, then reassign the speaker roles to direct sound correctly for either position.

Strong streaming and audio support

The system supports a wide range of wireless audio standards for easy streaming. This includes Chromecast, AirPlay, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The included subwoofer is designed to add depth to movies and music without muddying dialogue. For most living rooms, it delivers strong volume and convincing Atmos height effects.

Important limitations to consider

The setup does not include rear surround speakers. To get a full wraparound sound experience, you must purchase them separately.

The HDMI passthrough does not support 4K at 120Hz, which is a drawback for owners of high-end gaming consoles like the PS5 or Xbox Series X. Gamers will need to connect their console directly to the TV and use eARC for audio.

Some users report that dialogue clarity can be slightly restrained depending on placement, though this can often be adjusted with manual settings.

A compelling deal for flexible sound

At this price, the Samsung HW-QS700F represents strong value. It offers a flexible placement design and robust feature set that typically costs more.

For shoppers wanting a significant audio upgrade from TV speakers without the complexity or cost of a full separates system, this open-box deal is worth serious consideration.
