    Sound bar rocks! It was a little confusing to install because I wasn’t understanding how to connect my Amazon Firestick and my PS5. The only issue I have is that in the two months that I’ve had it, I’ve had to unplug and re-plug the power twice because my PS5 stopped connecting playing sound. Other than that it sounds amazing! The surround sound is unreal! I hear every little background noise - to the point it’s freaked me out! Definitely recommend :-)

    Best soundbar I have ever owned. Paired with Samsung TV - QNS95CA 65 Enable Q Symphony to take advantage of tv speakers for vocals and fine tune the subwoofer & rear speakers with the Smart Things app. Watching movies are so much more enjoyable.

    This is a great soundbar. I love that it has wireless rear speakers, so I don't have to try and hide those speaker wires. It was very easy to set up. I just connected an HDMI cable from the sound bar to my TV and it was good to go. It has different levels and settings to hear music or sound. Also, now that it has been updated to 2.1 HDMI, I can get Dolby atmos sound on my PS5, which is fantastic, and it gets plenty loud.

    Overall I’m loving this so far. It sounds great. Finding a wall mount for the surround speakers was kind of a pain just because of the thread on the speakers but I found some and just had to get the correct thread bolts.

    This is an amazing system. The sound is quite impressive and the bass will rattle the dishes...... and that's without the rear speakers connected. When connected, WOW, surround sound is awesome! I highly recommend this for a large space as the sound will fully fill the space. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is the soundbar itself is very large and heavy. Definitely takes up space, so plan for the extra size. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting loud and theater like sound. I happened to get this on a huge discount and is worth every penny! I can see why this is priced the way it is. I imagine it's one of the best out there. - forgot to mention that set up was a breeze. So easy.

    After 11 years of owning my Bose solo soundbar.. yeah 11 years, it finally went. It lasted me so long so it was finally time to get a new sound system. Ended up doing a lot of research online which probably took me at most 1 hour when I ran into this beautiful system. Sat there, got my car keys and drove out to the Best Buy that had it in stock and best decision ever made to purchase. Real easy to set up, paired up with my Samsung tv and setting up the pass through with my PS5.. and boy let me tell you… it feels like my entire living room shakes and the beautiful sound that comes out from behind with the rear speakers be it an action packed movie, or explosive gaming or even the realistic feeling of being in a horror movie with the sounds practically in your ears! The most I pushed up the volume was at 40% and sheesh it blasts. My 2 dogs sometimes looks around confused at the sound all about them. I leave my volume at about 20-25% and that’s more than enough Best purchase ever, quality is amazing. I am one happy buyer for sure!

    I'm not disappointed with the purchase even I wouldn't mind paying less but I love the rumbling bass and it's pretty loud, I chose this over the hw-q990f because of the bass.

    The sun quality and this technologies is awesome for having just a sound bar and two rear speakers, along with the subwoofer, it gives you that cinema experience when watching a movie and even better when watching sports

    I don’t know what else to say other than this system is the best I’ve ever used, and I’ve had a lot of TVs and sound systems through the years, including those with a separate amplifier. My friends and family can’t get over how great it sounds. I have it paired with a Samsung S90 C, 77 inch OLED. Don’t think twice if you’re willing to spend the money - it’s worth it!

    Simply Amazing!! (Coming from a Sonos /Bose owner)

    PS5 games and movies sound great!!! Sound bar is freaking awesome!! Rear speakers are solid too. Base could probably have some improvements when compared to Sonos, but the soundbar blows the Sonos Arc out the water. Also, the Smart Thing Apps for this is outstanding!! This system has so many additional and well thought out features when using the app. Samsung really did knock it out the park when it comes to those additional features and the app looks very clean. The three 2.1 HDMI ports on the sound bar provides you with convenience and flexibility. Also, if you have a movie collection, the fact that this supports many more audio formats than Sonos and Bose is a big plus as others have pointed out. BTW, I was trying to decided if I was going to keep this system or go with the Sonos Arc, Base Gen 3 , along with (2) Era 300s. Guess what went back to the store??? It was too hard to ignore the incredible value you were getting with this Samsung setup and did I mention it sounds AMAZING?!! Ease of Setup = A+ Sound Bar = A Rear Speakers = B+ Base Module = B- Smart things A and additional features = A+++

      Hello JReview,

      Thank you for sharing your positive experience with the HW-Q990D Soundbar! Its impressive configuration of 11 front-facing speakers, 1 subwoofer, and 4 up-firing channels ensures a captivating audio experience that envelops you from all directions. Whether it’s music, movies, or gaming, this soundbar delivers bold, multi-channel sound that truly immerses you.

      And the inclusion of a rear speaker kit means your home theater setup is complete right out of the box. No need to hunt for additional components—it’s all there!

      Now, let’s talk about the intriguing Private Rear Sound feature. This clever addition allows you to enjoy your favorite shows and movies discreetly, especially during late-night viewing. By deactivating the front-firing speakers and utilizing only the rear speakers, you can immerse yourself in the content without disturbing others nearby. It’s a thoughtful feature that enhances your overall entertainment experience.

      There are two adjustments that can be made to maximize bass from the soundbar and subwoofer:
      1. Using the WOOFER button on the remote, you can adjust the level between -6 to +6. To set the subwoofer volume level to 0, press the button in.

      2. Adjust the bass control by pressing the TONE CONTROL button on the remote control, then select BASS to increase the level. You can adjust the volume between -6 to +6 by using the Up/Down buttons.

      For precise audio adjustments, you can use the 7-band frequency equalizer to optimize the sound for your room acoustics.

      If there’s anything we can help with, please call is at 1-800-SAMSUNG (Ask for Soundbars), 8 AM – 12 AM EST, 7 days a week. Live Chat with an agent as well as manuals, software, and warranty info can be found at the ‘support’ link on our Samsung website.
