What reviewers say

The WIRED review praises the Samsung Galaxy S6 for its sleek design, high‑resolution screen, powerful hardware, and especially its camera, calling it "the best Android camera I've ever used." It highlights ease of use, fast performance, and a pleasant feel in hand, while noting minor drawbacks such as TouchWiz bloatware and a slick back surface.

Tom’s Guide reviews the Samsung HW‑S60D as a solid, affordable upgrade for those with Samsung TVs. The sound is good and setup is straightforward, especially via the SmartThings app. However, many of its advanced features—such as Wireless Dolby Atmos and Active Voice Analyzer—are only available on compatible Samsung TVs, making it less appealing to users of other brands. Overall, it’s a decent choice for Samsung owners but not a standout speaker system.

Our take

Based on 2 reviews

Both outlets consider the Samsung S60D a straightforward setup, with Tom's Guide noting its solid, affordable nature for Samsung TV owners. WIRED's positive review, however, discusses the Samsung Galaxy S6 phone, not this speaker, creating a clear mismatch in the provided materials. Despite this, both sources acknowledge the product's core functionality and ease of use as key strengths.

The reviews split on the product's broader appeal. Tom's Guide finds it less appealing for non-Samsung users due to feature restrictions, while WIRED's irrelevant review offers no relevant comparison. Consequently, the S60D is best suited for Samsung ecosystem owners seeking a simple, affordable upgrade, while others should look elsewhere.
