Samsung's Q-Symphony tech is coming to Harman Kardon and JBL speakers

Besides its new Micro RGB TV, the S95H OLED TV, Music Studio speakers, and its new Family Hub Refrigerator, Samsung has been quite vague about most other new products it announced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year. It has revealed only some information about its new soundbars. However, there is one neat new development that we spotted about Samsung's Q-Symphony technology.

At its CES 2026 booth, Samsung had an area where it mentioned that the Q-Symphony speaker pairing technology is expanding to Harman Kardon and JBL audio devices. It means that you will be able to pair your Samsung TV with speakers and soundbars from Harman Kardon and JBL. You don't need to buy just Samsung speakers and soundbars for your Samsung TV if you want a multi-speaker setup in your home.

It isn't clear how Samsung is making this happen, but almost all of Harman Kardon and JBL wireless speakers launching in 2026 will have Q-Symphony compatibility. The companies could be using a separate chip to make this happen. And it makes sense, as both Harman Kardon and JBL are owned by Samsung Electronics.

In the future, Samsung could expand Q-Symphony to more audio brands that it now owns. If you remember, Samsung recently acquired Sound United, which owns eight audio brands, including Boston Acoustics, Bowers & Wilkins, Classé, Definitive Technology, Denon, HEOS, Marantz, and Polk Audio. In total, Samsung now owns 21 audio brands.
