Why you should buy the Samsung HW-Q850D

When it comes to home theater audio, a decent soundbar goes a long way, but nothing can replace an entire surround system. That’s why we’re a fan of Samsung’s approach, where the soundbar is used for all front channels, leaving the two rear speakers to provide background effects, and the subwoofer for low-end. The result is an immersive surround experience with a wide soundstage and excellent highs, mids, and lows.

If you want an even bigger soundstage, you’ll also have the option of pairing the HW-Q850D with the speakers on certain Samsung TVs. This is a wireless feature called Q-Symphony that beefs up the volume and articulation of your Samsung audio. And thanks to built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, you’ll even be able to stream your favorite Spotify playlists through the Samsung system.

We’re also big fans of the automated audio features the HW-Q850D comes with, including Samsung’s Active Voice Analyzer, which dials down on room noise to deliver crystal-clear dialogue. Then there’s SpaceFit Sound Pro, which automatically calibrates sound to match your listening environment best.

We see plenty of Samsung deals, but it’s not too often you’ll find an audio system with this type of discount. Save $300 when you purchase the Samsung HW-Q850D 7.1.2 Soundbar with Rear Speakers at Best Buy, and be sure to have a look at some of the other best soundbar deals we’ve had our eyes on.

Your next Spotify song could soon carry an AI warning label, and the music industry is all for it
AI isn't the problem anymore. Knowing it's AI is.
AI tag imagined with AI

The music industry's battle with artificial intelligence is entering a new phase. After spending the past two years fighting AI companies in court and pushing back against unauthorized training on copyrighted music, record labels are now turning their attention to something far simpler: transparency. A coalition representing major record labels, artists, and music organizations wants streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music to clearly tell listeners when a song has been created with artificial intelligence.

The proposal, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes as AI-generated music becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from songs created by human artists. Rather than banning AI music altogether, the industry is arguing that listeners deserve to know what they're hearing before they hit play.

Your YouTube playlists can now become actual TV shows, but there’s a catch you need to know
YouTube just gave Partner Program creators the episodic infrastructure that Netflix has been using to keep audiences hooked for years.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

YouTube just gave its creators a tool that streaming platforms take for granted. I’m talking about the ability to structure content as proper episodic TV. 

If you're in the YouTube Partner Program and you’ve been organizing your videos into playlists while praying that the algorithm and your audience notice, then Shows is the upgrade you've been waiting for.

Built for the stage, not the daily commute
