**Immersive Sound Experience with Minor Setbacks**

I recently purchased the Samsung Soundbar, and overall, I'm quite impressed with its performance. The setup was incredibly easy and straightforward, which was a huge plus. The sound quality is clear and crisp, and the surround sound feature is excellent, making it feel like the TV sounds are coming from all around you or even from outside the room. This immersive experience has significantly enhanced my viewing pleasure.
However, there are a couple of downsides. I wish the rear speakers were truly wireless, as advertised. Additionally, the wires for the rear speakers are a bit too short for my setup, which made placement somewhat challenging. Despite these minor issues, I am very satisfied with the soundbar's overall performance and would recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their home audio system.

Brand response from Samsung
Posted .
Tomcat420m,
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung HW-Q850D Soundbar System which comes with a subwoofer and rear speaker kit. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts about the wireless description of the rear speakers.
The HW-Q850D Rear Speakers connect to the wireless module, which allows you to place the two speaker units in the back of your room. There is one speaker wire that connects both of the speakers together, one power cord to one speaker. The “wireless” convenience is in connecting your soundbar and any other speakers at the front of the room to the rear speakers – this can now be done without the previous wireless transmitter eliminating any clutter of long wires running the length of your room.
Should you ever have questions or need help, Samsung is here for you. Just give us a call at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week. Our Live Chat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

I bought this as an update to my very old Vizio sound bar. I went to Samsung for the connectivity to my Samsung TV. They integrate perfectly one remote for both set up was beyond easy. Q Symphony sounds really good but I think is designed more for a system without rear speakers. It’s seems to reduce the use of the back speakers to almost not at all when using that feature. The atmos sounds incredible you are literally surrounded by sound and it feels like you are right there. I wish the bass was more adjustable than it is just because at lower volume it’s barely there and I like a good rumble. Put on an atmos movie and pair it with the neo qled and matched backlighting on the tv it really makes you feel like you are in the action.

I am beyond impressed with the Samsung music system! The sound quality is crystal clear, with deep bass and perfectly balanced mids and highs that bring every song to life. It seamlessly connects to my devices, and the user-friendly interface makes operation a breeze. The sleek, modern design fits perfectly into any room decor. Whether I’m hosting a party or relaxing with some soft tunes, this music system delivers every time. A true masterpiece from Samsung – highly recommended!

Part. Great so far. I was happy with my previous, cheaper sound bar, but it suddenly quit allowing me to control it through my Apple TV and Samsung tv. This one is awesome! Everything works great and it sounds like a movie theater when it’s turned up loud. When the tech tested after install, he asked if I had 2 subwoofers! I don’t, LOL. Not too impressed with the Q-symphony feature, so I don’t use that part. Only complaint would be the soundbar controls are hard to see and the menu sucks on the tiny LED control screen.

Unbelievable sound. Deep bass. Great surround sound. Setup was easy and controlling the soundbar settings from the phone makes it just that much better. More than I wanted to spend, but once I heard it in my home, I was satisfied.

This HW-Q850D/ZA 7.1.2 Channel Wireless Dolby ATMOS Soundbar is very amazing, and I give 5 stars with no doubt. The subwoofer sound is so powerful and deep, it makes movies and music feel so alive. The surround sound is very beautiful, like you are inside a cinema at home. Connecting to my TV and Wi-Fi was very easy and fast, I had no trouble at all. I enjoy very much the clear voices and strong bass, and this soundbar makes my room full of real theater feeling.

NICE! This setup is AMAZING. It is important to get the satellite speakers at the right height and angle and make sure you get the settings and EQ calibrated and you will be sure to LOVE THIS. Sounds amazing and crisp. Most other soundbars I have had in the past are either too loud or too quiet and then you have to constantly adjust the sound. This does not have that issue and you can get it perfect for your area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Fantastic (big) sound and easy set up. Just be aware that the rear speakers are not 100% wireless. There is a wireless connection to the main unit. It is a reciever that must be plugged into a standard wall outlet for power and then it is connect to the rear speakers by standard speakerwire (which is included). Very happy with the sound!

This speaker system delivers incredible sound! Movies with Dolby Atmos feel just like a theater experience. However, I decided to return it since I preferred wireless rear speakers and ultimately went with the HW-930D, which also offers amazing quality.

I samsung soundbar is nice system and works great for me. If you have a samsung phone you can control the system with your phone. The movies sounds great. I got a great buy and best buy was very helpful in the process. The only reason for 4 stars was to get full benefit of the soundbar is you need a samsung tv. Buy it was a great buy.

If its so great, then why didd I give it 4 stars? Because the set up is ANNOYING. Got this as an upgrade from a 2 channel sounbar & subwoofer that was ok on my 2014 LED Samsung to go with my new S95C OLED. Had to download the user manuel. Could not get the subwoofer and rear speakers to sync for the longest time. Apparently...an "up" caret on the remote no longer means UP! The remote doesn't have much, if any, explaination so I had been pressing the wrong thing to enter ID sync. Was going to repack and return as I thought it was defective. Second issue is the right rear speaker seems to lose sound from time to time. BUT...overall, its a decent set. I purchased an excellent condition open box unit so saved a little but I really wonder how many have been returned as "defective" because they too were pressing the wrong thing. SMH...

I initially bought the surround sound 2.1 back speakers to add to my existing Samsung soundbar, cause I didn't want to spend a lot on a completely new setup but it didn't meet my expectations, so I returned it and got the Q850. After a quick setup, I was ready for the experience. Let me tell you, there are many movies to test this on, but nothing compares to the mission scene from "Top Gun: Maverick." I put on the movie and fast-forwarded to that scene, and the little tear that came to my eye was genuine. This purchase was worth every penny. A week in, it's still amazing. Playing video games has never sounded better, and even shows with dialogue sound great. Hearing someone walk into a café behind the actors makes you feel like you're really there. This was money well spent. I highly recommend it to anyone who already has a Samsung TV for the full Q surround experience.

Easy to setup and works flawless and automatically connects with a Samsung TV using Bluetooth.
The Bluetooth is not automatic when you use it with an LG TV, but still great sound nonetheless.
