    Almost two months ago, I bought a 75 inch Samsung Q series TV. I wanted a surround sound and just read the reviews online for a couple brands but HW-Q800B has really good reviews. I say, this is one of the best surround sounds you can buy, the bass and DOBLY ATMOS is amazing. Just playing the jurassic park, avatar or batman movies shakes the whole house lol. Honestly worth the spend

    Sound quality and volume are amazing. I have this set up in my basement, and is perfect for what I need it for. I mostly use it for video games, watching sports, and some movies. The quality is most definitely there. The only reason I give 4/5 stars is because of the interface. Samsung is notorious for having slow interfaces, and lag between remotes/devices. However it’s nothing crazy, the sound quality definitely out weighs the laggy input.

    Well made wireless surround speakers very easy to set up and sound great. I did turn them up due to certain 5.1 surround setting on streaming services. Great for movies or music. Samsung website has information on what model of sound bar for each model of rear speaker. Please research before purchase.

    I upgrade from a standard Samsung stereo soundbar / sub-woofer to this Dolby Atmos soundbar and the difference is incredible. This thing sounds fantastic! I'm amazed at the number of speakers Samsung was able to jam into the bar while still having them sound incredible. The sub-woofer is so much more powerful, but not overpowering. Movie soundtracks are more immersive and, this might sound stupid, but I feel like I'm part of the action/dialog around me and not just listening to a speaker in front of me. For those of you with surround sound systems, I'm sure my experience doesn't sound special, but I just don't have a good spot to put speakers around me so this works for me. I was once again wowed when I watched my first Atmos movie. I didn't know what I was missing with my other soundbar, which also sounded good, but the details in the sounds are so much more refined whether it's a bird chirping or a car revving. One night I was cycling through my streaming services looking for something to watch when I decided to fire up Spotify and Bluetooth to the SB, and OMG the sound was incredible, so I went another step and used Apple Music to stream lossless audio and the difference was huge. I can blast music for a party or just have some light background music and this sounds great either way. It's crisp and clear with enough power in the sub-woofer to add depth to movies or bass to music without sounding muddy - if that makes sense. It's pricey - but for someone that watches a lot of movies and/or listens to a lot of music, in my opinion, it's worth the extra cost. I'm not an audiophile and just someone who likes to be able to hear movie dialog and also feel the vibration from loud on-screen explosions.

    Sounds amazing and easy to set up with earc all that is needed is simply an HDMI cable and an earc port on tv the 5.1 is definitely better than the 2.1 and the q symphony just makes it better

    Sounds amazing great bass and having five channels built into a sound bar is very convenient and works very good too. Just a little confused on the rewards through Best buy spent $850 and they gave me a $5 reward. Seems a little low!

    I purchased this sound bar after doing some extensive research and i am not disappointed. I was suprised how easy it was to pair with my TCL and how clear the sound is. The sub is very powerful in my opinon, worth every penny.

    One of the main reasons I bought this soundbar was to be able to clearly hear movie dialog. It has a feature to enhance speech clarity and it works great. The sound is really balanced and the base speaker is really powerful and I also enjoy that.

    Very good soundbar and wireless sub for the price point. I tested this against the JBL, Polk and Klipsche. This has the best soundstage and detail by far. The sub is a bit underwelming but its decent enough. If you want to stay under $1,000 i recommend this setup. Download the smart things and control with your phone. It does take some time to dial it in but when its right it sounds very clear and crisp. The voice enhance feature is great and doesnt kill the quality in the process. I have it paired with a Sony TV so Im not getting the full array of features but it still sounds very good. Im not an audiophile but i know quality sound when i hear it. This unit measures up. I recommend it.

    The sound is impressive considering its size. Short of a full-component system, I'd say this is the best I've heard. Setup is what you'd expect with any a/v component with Bluetooth these days. The reason I don't rate this with 5* is the device was in demo mode when I purchased it and changing this involved many searches, reading many posts where this was a common problem, and trying many workarounds. Finally, I found one that worked and the system now works as advertised. I read that some people had to send theirs off to have them repaired. I would have simply returned it if it took that much effort.

    Very good sound system for the money. Have mine set up with a Samsung TV and it pairs really well. Surround sound works so well you will notice it often projects to the side of you and even behind you sometimes. Its always a crisp clean sound and gets very loud too

    This sound bar is awesome. I have a samsung tv and audio setup in my nedroom and sony in my living room. In my living room i have a $1000 a5000 sound bar and $700 sw5 300 watt sub. This samsung sound bar is EVERY BIT AS LOUD AND CLEAR as my sony set up and the sub is every bit as powerful. This item is worth every penny and i am very impressed. It almost makes me with i would have went with samsung instead of sony in my living room.
