The HW-Q70R comes with a newly designed and much bigger wireless active subwoofer that measures 205 x 403 x 403mm (WxHxD), weighs in at 9.8kg and has an 8-inch side-firing driver. There’s also a USB port for firmware updates, and a connector for the AC power adapter. The connections are located in a recessed area at the bottom of the soundbar, and are composed of an HDMI input, an HDMI output with eARC, and an optical digital audio input. It’s ergonomically designed and has all the necessary buttons sensibly laid out, making setup and operation as intuitive as possible. The provided remote is the same one Samsung has been using with its soundbars for the last few years, and it gets the jog done. To the right of this display, on the end plate, are some equally basic controls for power, input selection and volume. On the front, there’s a simple LED display on the right that lights up when you use the controls, and provides basic information on the volume, inputs and sound modes. That said, if you’d prefer to wall-mount the soundbar, Samsung includes dedicated brackets, screws, and paper template for that very purpose.

Even better, because of its low-profile, it shouldn’t block the screen. While primarily designed to pair with Samsung's 2019 QLED TVs, given its width of 1100mm, it will complement most TVs and not just the Q70R.
