Samsung’s Eclipsa Audio brings amazing 3D sound to your home
Samsung and Google have joined forces to launch Eclipsa Audio, a new feature that delivers incredible 3D sound through TVs and soundbars. Revealed at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, this technology is designed to make your movie nights and TV shows feel more real with surround sound that pulls you into the action.
Back in 2023, Samsung and Google worked together to create a fresh audio system called the Immersive Audio Model and Formats (IAMF). It’s now the go-to standard for 3D sound, making listening more exciting.
Eclipsa Audio sets a simple, shared way to enjoy 3D sound on all kinds of devices. Whether you’re using a home theater, a gaming console, or even your phone, creators can craft audio that fits perfectly with whatever you’re using.
This tech makes sound come alive by sending it from all around you—front, back, above, and below. It feels natural and wraps you in the moment, no matter what you’re watching or playing.
Normally, 3D sound needs lots of speakers to work well, but many people just have a TV and maybe a soundbar. Eclipsa Audio fixes this by tweaking the sound to match your setup, so you still get a fantastic experience at home.
Best of all, this technology is free for creators to use because it’s open-source. That means anyone can add awesome 3D sound to their projects without extra costs, making great audio available to everyone. Samsung is adding Eclipsa Audio to its 2025 TVs, from the budget-friendly Crystal UHD models to the fancy Neo QLED 8K ones. Pair it with a soundbar, and the sound gets even bigger and bolder, turning your living room into a theater-like space. Watching TV will feel more thrilling than ever!
