Customers are saying
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.

Amazing song quality.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product it is just amazing. After you buy you will hear what I'm talking about. In my case I have a qled tv which can synchronize with the sound bar and improved even more the quality. But I have doubts if the sound quality could be even better using a roku box, but no at all. In my case with a qled tv at least i didn't see any different in the sound quality.

Excellent yet pricey
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent yet not inexpensive system This was the third system I purchased and the only one I kept Great sound bar array with front center and side firing drivers Slimmer than most sub that doesn't rattle Satellite side Atmos and side firing speakers are surprisingly well made and have a good weight to them I'm very happy with this system and can recommend to anyone who wants great sound that disappears into the room

Great sound-bar, good sub.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I give this sound system a 5 even though I returned mine. I needed a little more bass but due to my larger room it didn’t provide enough for me but I have high sub standards so for everyone else it could be perfect. The sound is best I’ve heard so far and really puts you in the middle. The sub was just a little low for me.

Worthy surround for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this system at a crazy discount as my first surround. It was in a small living room, 110sqft. This system made everything amazing. It was paired with the 55inch samsung tv and the linking was easy. It took me some time to realize you can adjust the audio delay. Also, avoid using bluetooth, it cancels the dolby atmos. Watch some youtube vidoes to get the best out of this system.

Samsung out does Sony.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had purchased the Sony 5000 sound bar but returned it for the Samsung. If you want any kind of rear sound you have to have rear speakers. Samsung gives you this Sony does not. Would have been 5 stars but Samsung feels that people need to get up off their butt to have to look at the top of the sound bar to see adjustments of any sound adjustments. Why they didn’t incorporate to on screen is beyond me. Great sound, gaming (Warzone) movies sound awesome.

Beats my old 5.1 home theater setup
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good! I’m still playing around it and can’t make a full review just yet, other than saying that this sound bar is amazing. Hell it beats my old 5.1 setup, thanks to Atmos. One downside is if you love heavy bass, this isn’t for you. The bass is just right for me but for others, this may not be enough. I do plan on hacking it sometime.

Expensive, but WORTH IT!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought, its a sound bar, what in the world makes it so expensive. Well for one it sounds AMAZING in my space! Compare this to the Sonos package, and I'm saving money, getting Bluetooth connectivity and overall sound better, especially with movies. For what this is, you can not find a better sounding package. I was skeptical at first, but after playing with it... I fully Support this Sound System. This was NOT a paid review.

A great sounding bar, hampered by critical bugs
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really wanted to like this sound-bar. To be sure, it sounds great out of the box and I have no connection issues. That said, this bar is incabable of accepting LPCM / multi-channel PCM via EARC, it's unable to even accept full-fat Atmos that way. What does that mean? Connect it to, say, an LG Oled with your PS5, Xbox Series X or '21 Apple TV 4K connected to the TV, with TV on passthrough, and you get: "No Atmos available" on XB and ATV, and PS5 is limited to 2 channel PCM. Letting the TV do the processing adds tremendous lag. To be sure, this isn't an issue with LG or Sonos Soundbars, or receivers. I will return my Q950A. Be aware - if you are looking to use this soundbar in a way to utilize it's capabilities - all components to the TV (to get things like 120Hz which the SB HDMI doesn't support as it's HDMI 2.0 only) and then EARC to the Soundbar, it's not working. They never fixed this on the 't' model, and the a, while having added channels, is no better. Again, NO LPCM.

Posted .Hi Kyne,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Samsung HW-Q950A Soundbar featuring Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. You definitely can enjoy full-fat Atmos with the HW-Q950A. When connected to a non-Samsung TV, please change the TV’s eARC output setting to “Automatic” – this will allow Atmos to play on the HDMI ARC port.
Should you need further assistance or have other questions, please reach out to Samsung Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8AM -12AM EST, 7 days a week. Or text HELP to 62913.

Soundbar to the rescue
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We first purchased the Samsung 65 inch 8K QLED television. However, we found the sound quality to be less than acceptable. For this reason we added this recommended sound bar. The Geek Squad had to come back twice to get the sound to sync with the lip movements on the screen. However, now all is working fine and we are very happy with the vastly improved sound quality from this soundbar.

Samsung Q950 a sound bar
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t understand why people write reviews that say playing music through this sound-bar is not good. It’s unbelievably good. Just like with the sound from the TV. I have the 8K tv so the tv and soundbar play both from the TV and sound bar. Again remarkable. Don’t listen to the naysayers. This is one incredible sound bar. Well done Samsung. You set the bar( no pun intended)
