    Super immersive sound with some minor annoyances

    When this thing works properly it's awesome! The bad thing is the connection issues to the rear speakers. A quick power disconnect by unplugging will fix it temporarily but it can be annoying. But the soundstage is so immersive and overwhelming that for some it will probably be worth the trade off...at least for me it is!

    I have a Samsung QLED tv so this was a marriage made in heaven. Starting with the sound GREAT!! When there is content that takes advantage of what it can do you are transported there!! Paired up with the tv I have total control of the system with one remote.

    System has great sound but very finicky when switching between HDMI ports. Will not automatically switch between ports I have to go to Samsung plus on the TV before it will allow me to go from one port to another. Have a Comcast box and PlayStation 4 hooked up to the sound bar. Had to return first one for HDMI issues. Also does not turn on when TV turned on, but will turn off when TV turned off. Like I said finicky.

    This sound bar really delivers amazing sound. The build in speakers in the TV are ok but with this sound bar the surround sound and woofer shakes the room just like in the movie theaters.

    We've been skeptical about buying a soundbar thinking it would not be as good as wired speakers. Boy were we wrong. this thing sounds just as good or better than the surround sound system we used to have!

    Best sound system I've ever owned! I had a Visio 5.1 for years that had nice surround sound but this Samsung blows it away. Got lucky and bought it at a really good display model price.

    This is my first expensive sound bar yet and it disappoints at every level. Not up to six months, the subwoofer will not stop making pop, crackles sound. Two rear speakers disconnects like crazy and scratchy sound comes out of them. Several resets, re-pair, WiFi modifications, changed location. Everything I’ve tried didn’t make a difference. The joy of the purchase I haven’t discovered. I’ll not be buying Samsung product ever again. I’ll sell this crap and get me a Sonos.

    Really simple to set up. While not as great as certain custom wired systems for surround, the quality of the sound is more than adequate to give a movie theater like experience.

    The sound coming from this sound bar is amazingly loud and clear. With the satellite speakers creating a surround sound effect, you can really hear the difference in the sound quality.

    Was tricky getting the digital in to hold TV ARC, but once that was figured out by geek sq it's been very good. The sound is great. There are occasions that it loses sync to the TV (Samsung) but turning everything off for 30 min to reset

    Great and beautiful quality sound for small to medium sized spaces. I only use for 4K content tho. Speaking sound isn't very loud depending on content forcing your to raise for spoken words and lower again for action scenes.

    Sometimes I have to look behind me when watching a movie, sounds so real! If the picture shows something in background on the right side of screen ( example, dripping water) you clearly hear Dripping water on the right side of room.

    The Samsung HW-Q90R is one of the best performing soundbars I've listened to so far. It's very versatile for every type of content you play and performs great overall. It's a high-end model that looks and feels premium and supports Atmos for an immersive experience with movies. Samsung & Harman Kardon partnership really delivers with this product. Pros: Great audio reproduction. Multiple connection options. Great performance at high volume. Supports Atmos and height channels for a very immersive experience. Supports eARC, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, DTS:X (eARC only), Dolby TrueHD (eARC only), DTS-HD MA (eARC only), 5.1 PCM (eARC only), Cons: No room correction.

    Samsung sound bar sounds great. Easy to setup no running wires, no holes in the wall. Took longer to get out of the box than setting up. Wireless speakers sound great and the sub is easy to to hide if you don’t want setting out.
