Customers are satisfied with the HW-Q950A soundbar's exceptional sound quality, easy setup, and immersive Dolby Atmos experience. The bass and surround sound are particularly impressive, and the rear speakers enhance the overall audio experience. While some users find the price to be high, many believe it is a worthwhile investment. The top display and Alexa integration could be improved, and the remote control needs some enhancements.

after some research I kept seeing great reviews foe thsis oundbar. It was veey easy to set up, synchs with my Samsung TV and S22 ultra phone. added a 4 k bluray to take advantage of all the Dolby Atmos movies available. Sound is immersive, up speakers and multiple channels create a movie theater environment. Love this product and it is priced well below many other brands. Buy it bundled with a 4k tv like i did and save even more.

Excellent sound system. Not the best bass/treble/dialogue balanced compared to Sonos, but blows away most others we have tried.
Pushes a ton of volume at lower settings, so power is good.
Maker sure to do firmware updates as available. We had one rear speaker out of the box that wouldn’t pair, even Samsung thought it needed warranty replacement. While waiting for it to come in, I downloaded and installed the recent firmware update and everything started working perfectly.

This is the best soundbar by far. I listened to all of them, Sonos Arc, Bose 900, Sony HTA 7000 etc. This Samsung sounded better to my ear, more natural and not harsh. The only one that was close was the JBL 9.1. Highly recommend. Set up was easy. All speakers wireless except main bar which was connected by HDMI cable to TV. Getting the Sonos Arc or Bose 900 with a subwoofer and rear speakers would cost almost twice as much

I definently did my homework on researching this sound system, and it payed off. I needed to make sure its compatible with my PS5. Its able to handle 4k just make sure the HDMI cables are able to handle high speed. Its an incredible sound system for all you sound enthusiasts. When the Dolby Atmos kicks in it sounds AMAZING (if compatible). You wont regret this purchase. It is pricey, but youll know its a great investment.

Bought this Samsung Q950A sound bar to go with a new Samsung TV. Connection and set up was a breeze. It delivers surround sound with Dolby Atmos as advertised. Still getting used to all the menu options. It would be helpful to have the sound bar settings and speaker options displayed on the TV instead of just on the top of the bar. Purchased in combination with a Samsung TV and on sale so price was better than expected for this high end product.

I have to give it five stars because of the product itself. The fact that the system is wireless, is amazing on it's own, but the sound --- wow, definitely more than I expected! I am very pleased with the quality of the system and the fact that it connects to my phone. Only downfall is the remote that does not work properly. May have to have the entire system replaced.

Just upgraded from the 850. 22 drivers vs 8 is a huge improvement. Easy to hook up. Didn’t even have to reprogram my dish remote. Only thing I would have changed is the status screen for volume is now on the top instead of the front. Which means you can’t be sitting in the chair to make improvements to the sound as you can’t see what you are adjusting.

So the sound is really good, however the lack of a display on the front of the unit makes it useless determining where your volume is. Also have seen the unit turn back on by itself after a while and I have to go back and manually turn it off.

Brand response from Samsung

Hi BESTBUYLOVER,
Thank you for purchasing the Samsung HW-Q950A soundbar and for sharing your review. We appreciate your feedback regarding the location of the soundbar's display and the issues you are experiencing with the soundbar turning itself on.
If your soundbar and Samsung TV are connected via HDMI ARC, Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) will allow devices to send signals to the soundbar causing it to turn on when detecting a signal. Disabling this setting within your TV may resolve the issue you are experiencing with the soundbar turning itself on.
Additionally, if you are connected by an optical cable, Auto Power Link will turn your soundbar on automatically when you turn on the TV. No need to reach for the soundbar remote every time you want to watch TV! Should you want to disable this feature, follow the steps below.
Set the soundbar to “BT Ready” mode by pressing Source on the remote or soundbar. Press and hold the left direction on the direction pad on the remote for more than 5 seconds or until OFF – TV Connect appears on the soundbar display to activate or deactivate Auto Power Link.
I hope these tips help. Should you continue to experience issues, please call us at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8AM - 12AM EST, 7 days a week.
For additional support resources, visit us on the Samsung website and click on the ‘Support’ link in the upper right corner of the homepage for: 1) Chat with Us/Product Help: To begin a chat or find solutions, choose ‘TVs & Home Theater’ and select your model & topic. 2) Manuals & Software 3) Warranty Info 4) Register a Product: For access to easy warranty support, convenient opt-in to special promos and offers, faster troubleshooting and service, and quick notification of system updates 5) Contact Us

For a very long time I’ve looked down on soundbars. I simply did not believe that they could approach the audio quality of what enthusiasts call “separates,” i.e. unpowered speakers connected to a receiver or an amplifier.
I’m not going to say that this system is as good as a separates system. It is, however, radically better than any soundbar I’d for a very long time. I’d say it approaches maybe 70% of the quality of a separates system I’d heard for several times the cost, and that was only stereo. With this, for a much lower price, I get sound that I don’t hate, and Atmos without having to mount and wire a dozen speakers all over my room.
I’d like to note here that Samsung’s parent company, Harman, has done a lot of work over the decades on scientifically quantifying what constitutes good sound. A lot of manufacturers don’t follow that research. This bar does, as confirmed by independent measurements. There are a number of exotic, highly expensive speakers you could buy that would have radically inferior tonal balance to this thing.
So. Audiophile nirvana? No. Very good and enveloping movie performance? Yes. Highly recommended.
(P.S. If you have an Apple TV 4K and an Apple Music subscription, play some Atmos content. Amazing.)

Sound is great combined with a 4K TV, easy to install and use. The remote is a bit tiny and small, but it controls the Sound Bar. When you switch to Surround Sound be prepared to get your ears a totally great sound. A little weak when you play Music, miss the heavy bass from different Songs. I am satisfied. MAF

Amazing speakers easy to install, easy to connect and sound like a beast. The only thing i don't like about it a the outside finish of the speaker. It's pricy but sound like. I would recommend if you have other samsung connectivity. With my Samsung phone i just need to tap on my speaker to connect to it.
