Samsung has bolstered its lineup of audio products ahead of this week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, which include a new Soundbar featuring Dolby Atmos technology.
The HW-K950 Soundbar is Samsung’s first to feature Dolby Atmos, which offers “immersive” cinema-style sound in home theaters. The 2.1-inch-high device has three forward-facing and two-upwards facing speakers, as well as two Dolby Atmos-enabled wireless rear speakers.

Samsung also announced enhancements to its Wireless Audio 360 products.
The Soundbar will be on show at CES this week. The conference’s show floor opens on Wednesday, although a host of products are set to be unveiled during the CES press day Tuesday.
