#1 Samsung 77S90H OLED
4.0

Bass sounds deep and full, although the lowest notes could be more precisely defined.

Pros: black levels, contrast ratio

Cons: Dolby Vision support, stutter handling

#2 Samsung S95H OLED
3.1

Some listeners hear satisfying punch, while others find low bass shallow and lacking cinematic weight.

Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction

Cons: design and appearance, Dolby Vision support

#3 Samsung R95H
3.0

Bass can have welcome punch, yet deep sustained effects may sound muddy, thin or distorted. The low end is the most inconsistent part of the audio.

Pros: color volume, overall satisfaction

Cons: value for money, color accuracy

#4 Samsung S90H
3.0

Bass has some useful weight, but deep low frequencies remain limited and a soundbar adds substantially more impact.

Pros: glare resistance, black levels

Cons: Dolby Vision support, color gamut

#5 Samsung 100QN80F
2.4

Deep bass reproduction is limited.

Pros: Large-screen immersion, overall satisfaction

Cons: value for money, black levels

#6 Samsung U8000F
2.3

Bass tends to be shallow or only adequate, leaving action and music less full-bodied than a separate soundbar can provide.

Pros: color accuracy, upscaling quality

Cons: picture quality, sound quality

#7 Samsung U7900F
2.3

Low bass is thin and lacks the punch needed for cinematic effects; it is serviceable for ordinary speech and TV.

Pros: picture quality, smart TV platform

Cons: value for money, refresh rate

#8 Samsung M70H
2.2

Bass is a recurring weakness, leaving explosions and low rumbles thin. Some owners find it acceptable for everyday TV, but it is no substitute for a subwoofer.

Pros: sound quality, picture quality

Cons: value for money, local dimming performance

#9 Samsung R85H
2.0

The stock speakers lack deep low-end weight, making an external audio system worthwhile for cinematic impact.

Pros: overall satisfaction, color gamut

Cons: value for money, local dimming performance

#10 Samsung The Frame 2026
1.8

The slim built-in speakers deliver little deep bass, so explosions, music and dramatic soundtracks lack weight.

Pros: art display mode, design and appearance

Cons: overall satisfaction, HDMI port accessibility

#11 Samsung QN70F
1.8

Bass is the obvious weakness of the built-in speakers; effects, deep voices and music sound thin until external audio or AI processing helps.

Pros: picture quality, 4K at 144 Hz support

Cons: sound quality, value for money

#12 Samsung QN70H
1.7

Deep bass is the clearest audio weakness: some testing calls it very thin, while another finds it merely adequate.

Pros: picture quality, overall satisfaction

Cons: sound quality, black levels

#13 Samsung M80H
1.5

Deep bass is notably thin, and the internal stereo system struggles to give films or games convincing weight.

Pros: gaming performance, color accuracy

Cons: value for money, overall satisfaction

#14 Samsung Q8F 2025
1.3

Bass lacks the depth needed for explosions, engines, and music with strong low frequencies, encouraging a separate soundbar.

Pros: overall satisfaction, picture quality

Cons: reliability, remote control quality

#15 Samsung U8000H
1.3

Deep bass is largely absent, leaving action sequences and music without the low-end weight they need.

Pros: white balance accuracy, design and appearance

Cons: overall satisfaction, value for money

#16 Samsung QN80H
1.3

The built-in speakers are consistently short on deep bass, leaving action soundtracks and cinematic effects thinner than a soundbar can deliver.

Pros: picture quality, contrast ratio

Cons: blooming control, glare resistance

#17 Samsung S85H OLED
1.3

Explosions, engines and other low-frequency effects lack force, making action-heavy movies feel much smaller than they look.

Pros: black levels, picture quality

Cons: glare resistance, reflection handling

#18 Samsung The Frame Pro 2026
1.0

The slim built-in speakers struggle to produce meaningful bass, making an external sound system worthwhile.

Pros: cable management, design and appearance

Cons: value for money, Dolby Vision support
