Subwoofer Not The Greatest
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Purchased this system on November 17. After setting it up and watching a few movies to test it I find that the power of the subwoofer is not good enough. Barely feel it while watching movies. This includes action movies and others.
Had other systems in the past that had better subwoofer and sound quality that I spent less money.
The rest of the sound from all the other speakers is good.
Also it is not that easy to see the display on the soundbar. Too small. They should have made it some larger.
At this time I am planning in returning it for a refund and shop for something else.

Brand response from Samsung

Hi magicalwizard,
We appreciate you taking a moment to review the Samsung HW-Q930D Soundbar.
You can manually optimize your audio experience by pressing the SOUND CONTROL button (which looks like a gear), you can set the audio function such as Auto EQ, Spacefit sound, AVA, Voice Enhance mode, Night mode, Sync, Surround speaker mode, Virtual. The desired item can be adjusted using the Up/Down buttons.
Alternatively, you can press and hold the SOUND CONTROL button for about 5 seconds to adjust the sound for each frequency band. 150Hz, 300Hz, 600Hz, 1.2kHz, 2.5kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz are selectable using the Left/Right buttons and each can be adjusted to a setting between -6 to +6 using the Up/Down buttons.
You can try quickly optimizing the audio by pressing the SOUND MODE button on your remote, and then select the desired sound effect by choosing STANDARD, SURROUND SOUND, GAME, or ADAPTIVE SOUND.
To control the volume of each speaker, press the CH LEVEL button on the provided remote. Then select CENTER LEVEL, SIDE LEVEL, WIDE LEVEL, FRONT TOP LEVEL, REAR LEVEL, or REAR TOP LEVEL. Once you find the channel you are looking for, adjust the volume between -6 to +6 by using the Up/Down buttons.
There are multiple ways to control the bass levels for your new Soundbar.
1) Using the WOOFER button on the provided Soundbar remote. Use the woofer button by pushing forward or pulling backward on the button itself to adjust the bass levels between -12 or -6/+6. If you want to reset the bass to 0 then push the button in. 2) When you press the TONE CONTROL button, you can adjust the treble or bass levels between -6/+6.
Alternatively, you can adjust all of these same settings and more within the SmartThings app. Download the app for your iOS or Android device and then connect your Soundbar to Wi-Fi. From here, you will be able to adjust all of the same settings as the provided remote, but with the added benefit of being able to see the changes on your smart device.
If you need more help, Samsung is here for you. Please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG, 8AM - 12AM EST (Ask for Soundbars), 7 days a week. Our Live Chat agents are also available by clicking on the ‘Support’ link on our website.

Originally had a 7.1 system and upgraded because the 9.1 is completely wireless. Can't stand speaker wires all over the place. Sound is amazing. Depth and quality are so realistic even from regular tv. Can't imagine something better.

Love the full and rich sound from this setup! Purchased this with our new television, the atmos effect is AMAZING! I learned a trick off Reddit as well for the PS5, you can do the setup as an audio system vs a soundbar. It allows you to customize the speaker placement and really enhance gameplay on games that support surround sound.

The difference with this soundbar compared to any other is crazy. You feel the bass throughout the room and the sounds are crystal clear. Surround sound is great as well. Great value for money.

I bought the 750, then tried sonos and i ended up returning them and purchased the 950, it was perfect. The sound is amazing the rear speakers are truly wireless and if you have a samsung tv, it syncs seemlessly. It is a bit costly at the $1000 mark, but its worth it and my past experience with samsung soundbar you'll have it for a good while. Thanks best buy for helping me get exactly what i wanted.

Easy setup, we purchased stands for a few behind furniture. Sales team in Charlotte were fantastic. Definitely adds dimension to sound, although not as much as in store. Extremely disappointed in the Mybestbuy credit card and lack of customer sevice from that. Redeeming rewards certificates is a joke, withiut the laughter.

Thank you Best Buy for an awsome president's day sale+bundle discount! 85" Neo Qled qn85d TV + this incredible system OMG I'm never going to the movies again! Such a powerful clear sound I will never be able to crank this bad boy pass 50% without being put out lol or being that neighbor everyone hates. For those complaining about the surround/rear speakers..... Adjust them lol problem solved. Yes the center bar is insanely powerful (not a negative) just set front lvls to say -2, leave the wide/side lvls normal 0 - 4, put the rear lvl to 5, and rear top lvl (nice touch btw did not notice at first) to 6! Enjoy! Lol Oh yea! And for my complaining wife "it's too loud", the night mode ON is the perfect solution w/o having to kewp altering my settings.

This sound bar system is awesome! You have to experiment with the settings to get the right sound that you like, but once you do, you'll love it! Like for instance if you want the bass louder, you'll have to turn down each of the bars speakers down individually (except i left satellite-rear & rear top speakers up because they sound lower), turn the bass up, then turn the volume up. The subwoofer punches above itself as its a 8" woofer but sounds more like a 10" or 12" when turned up. I had it at 25 out of 100 & it can quake but very clear bass. I have the satellites speakers on sanus speaker stands that worked with its hardware (HTB3-B1) & hooked up to a LG C3 48" tv & it works flawlessly. I had to change tv output to hdmi eark, enable passthrough, & have no problems with sound sync issues (sounds not matching up with lip movements). I was worried about sound not in sync with tv, but luckily no problems. The only things i don't like about the system is it doesn't save settings for each preset like game pro standard, etc... & it doesnt have a hdmi 2.1 4k 120hz only 4k 60hz. You'll have to adjust the settings if you want to for each preset each time you change it as this system saves settings "globally" for everything & just plug bars eark to your eark tv as a workaround. On the good side of that, when you change presets & have the same settings active it still does sound really good just a little different. Overall, I highly recommend it if your looking for an awesome sound barsystem, especially if your looking for a Samsung sound bar system & you dont want the physically biggest bar & the most system power ( This has 540 watts of power). This is a step down from the Samsung flagship HW-Q990D (Has like 656 watts of power & hdmi 2.1 passthrough). I'd recommend HW-Q990D if you have a large room & a bigger tv.

I’ve tried the Samsung HW-Q930D and the sound quality is incredible. It feels like being in a movie theater. The wireless subwoofer and rear speakers make setup easy, and Dolby Atmos adds amazing depth to the experience.

I tried 3 different sound bars thanks to Amazon return policy and I finally got what I wanted . You should be crazy to $600 more for q990d just for 2 more front speakers . This sound bar is crystal clear , bass is deep and punchy the surround sound is amazing . You don't feel you're missing anything . The draw back ? I couldn't find anything as it is just great . I have a lg oled tv and I wanted to get a lg sound bar but after watching many reviews on YouTube , I ended up getting this and I'm 200 % satisfied
