The HW-K950 will give you the cinema experience as it throw noises to you overhead, giving you the illusion that a helicopter is indeed flying over you, among other things.

With Dolby Atmos, you usually need a lot speakers but Samsung pares that down with this unit. The HW-K950 itself is 2.1-inches high and has three forward-facing and two upwards-facing drivers. This pairs wirelessly with a subwoofer and rear speakers to give you that full 5.1.4-channel audio. Samsung also revamped its Wireless Audio 360 Series (R1, R3, and R5) with new colors and patterns.
