Samsung HW-B750F: what the testing says
The HW-B750F is the budget bar that sounds best in RTINGS' testing: very good for dialogue and for music, with punchy bass from its included sub. The trade-offs are real. There's no Dolby Atmos, it connects over ARC rather than eARC, and there's no Wi-Fi.
Our take
The short version
Samsung's 2025 B750F pairs a 5.1-channel bar with a center channel and side-firing speakers with a wireless subwoofer, for $297.99 on Amazon on October 26. RTINGS calls it 'very good for TV and dialogue-centric content' and 'very good for music', and finds 'a solid low-end punch'.
Movies are its weak use. RTINGS rates it satisfactory there, because it has no Dolby Atmos: Atmos tracks are downmixed to Dolby Digital 5.1. It's also an older-style connection, HDMI ARC rather than eARC, so lossless formats from your TV are out. Bluetooth 4.2 is the only wireless option.
Samsung lists Q-Symphony for it, but only with 2020–2025 Samsung TVs, so a 2026 set like the S90H isn't on that list. It's 40.6 inches wide, which fits under a 48-inch screen.
Pros and cons
What we like
- RTINGS: very good for dialogue and for music
- Wireless sub in the box with punchy bass
- Center channel and side-firing speakers
- Optional SWA-9250S rears
Trade-offs
- No Dolby Atmos
- HDMI ARC, not eARC; no Wi-Fi
- No room correction
- Q-Symphony listed for 2020–2025 Samsung TVs only
Who it's for
Buy it if…
- Anyone under $300 who mainly wants clearer TV and better music
- Rooms where a sub fits
- Older Samsung TVs (2020–2025) that work with its Q-Symphony
Skip it if…
- Atmos fans: the Samsung HW-S60D decodes Atmos, for $20 less
- Anyone who streams music over Wi-Fi or AirPlay
- Owners of TVs smaller than 48 inches
Your TV
TVs it fits and syncs with
At 40.6 in (1,031 mm) wide, the HW-B750F fits under a 48-inch screen, whose picture is 41.8 inches wide, and anything bigger. It's wider than the picture on a 42-inch screen or smaller. Our rule: a bar fits when it's no wider than the picture, since every TV is a little wider than its picture and the bar then won't overhang it. Check the gap under the screen too: the bar is 2.3 inches (58 mm) tall.
Samsung names these features for Samsung TVs. Any other TV still works with it over HDMI ARC.
Samsung TVs: Q-Symphony
Samsung says Q-Symphony uses AI to separate voices and background sound and play each through the best channel, with the TV's speakers joining in. Samsung names 2020–2025 Samsung TVs. Samsung's page (opens in a new tab)
