Samsung's new soundbars are cheaper in the UK if you recycle old gear

Two of the latest 2025 Samsung soundbars, unveiled at CES in January, are available in the UK for a lower price. That is, assuming you have an old speaker setup lying around and you want to use the trade-in program. Here's all you need to know.

Samsung UK lets you save up to £300 on the flagship Q990F Q-Series soundbar and up to £120 on the versatile QS700F soundbar when you recycle an old device. You can recycle portable or standalone speakers, rear speakers, soundbars, and subwoofers for a discount.

Samsung also lets you exchange “other” types of devices, including old TVs, monitors, and home appliances. The company accepts any brand in any condition, but evidently, the trade-in value will differ based on these factors.

Assuming your old device qualifies for the maximum discount, you can buy the Q990F flagship soundbar for £1,299 or the QS700F model for £579.

Each soundbar includes a dedicated subwoofer, but the Q990F model also comes with two rear speakers. The latter delivers true 11.1.4-channel full surround sound through a total of 23 speakers.

The QS700F offers true 3.1.2-channel sound through 8 speakers. But what really sets this one apart from other Samsung soundbars, including the Q990F, is that it has an internal gyroscope that allows you to place the soundbar flat on a stand or wall-mount it at 90 degrees without compromising the audido experience.

Thanks to the internal gyroscope, the QS700F knows which position it's in and will adjust the sound output accordingly to deliver the same outstanding surround sound no matter how it's mounted. It's a unique feature that only the QS700F soundbar has.

Of course, both soundbar models boast Q-Symphony technology, which allows you to complement the soundbar's audio with the built-in TV speakers for a richer sound experience.

Both the Q990F and QS700F also boast SpaceFit Sound Pro technology, which optimizes the audio for your space using a built-in microphone. They also boast Game Mode Pro, Adaptive Sound, and integration with the SmartThings app.

Lastly, if you end up not liking the Q990F or QS700F soundbar, Samsung UK has a 100-day money-back guarantee offer for both.
