The Perfect Home Accessories 

Although they have seemed to hit a rough patch over the past few months, nobody does household electronics quite like Samsung. The HW-K950 Soundbar provides the ultimate in 4K audio experience like no other. Paired with the UBD-K8500 4K Blu-ray player, you can now have 4K enhancement in both picture and sound, another reason to never leaving your house again. Just be sure to have a compatible Ultra 4K TV on hand.

Elevate Your Living Space 

Samsung added its Surround Sound Expansion Plus technology into the HW-K950, which will add a vertical dimension to just about any soundtrack or movie you’re listening to. The soundbar also comes with upward-firing drivers in its main and rear speakers, which is great when paired with the UBD-K8500 as it comes with HDR technology. You can now have the best picture paired with the best sound money can buy for an unforgettable experience.

Dolby Atmos-enabled 

If you’re wondering why it sounds like the HW-K950 Soundbar seems to good to be true, it’s all due to the Dolby Atmos technology that has been applied into the soundbar. From the rush of waterfalls to even a plane taking off right above you, you can hear and experience everything thanks to the overhead effects produced by the speakers.

Highlights

1 – Keep It Clean and Tight
The HW-K950 can be connected wirelessly so you will not need to connect the main soundbar to the subwoofer or even the rear speakers through cables.

2 – Play Anything & Everything 

From CD’s to Ultra Blu-ray discs and even 3D Blu-ray discs, the UBD-K8500 can accommodate any and all sorts of CD’s to play.
