I’ve never heard a sound bar system that I enjoyed and that made me very nervous to purchase this despite all the rave reviews. This went into my main family room where it’s not ideal for a real sound system but we find ourselves watching a lot of tv in that room and needed something. I caught this on sale when the new F model was launched and saved a lot of money. It’s definitely the best sound bar I’ve heard and I’m very happy with it. Perfect for our family room and surprised at how well the surround sounds in this odd shaped room adding a lot of depth to the TV. I wouldn’t pay full price for these I would go with full range floor speakers if spending that much. But on sale worth every penny.

Bought this for my parents. The soundbar is incredible, especially at this price point. I do want to point out that I got it $700 off which makes it a better value in my opinion. The sound is fantastic, and setup is straight forward. The dual HDMI ports is also an incredibly convenient decision that eliminates the need for additional hardware to utilize the soundbar with more than a single device. I only have two complaints. First, is how non-user friendly the interface is. It’s absolutely usable but cycling in order through all the settings on the terrible little screen on the soundbar leaves a lot to be desired. Sony puts a menu on the screen of the television to tweak the settings and it’s so much more convenient. Second, is the settings. I looked through every single booklet and manual that came with the soundbar and couldn’t find an explanation to any of them. Some are self-explanatory but I wouldn’t say that’s the case for more than half of them. I’m sure the failure is mine but I couldn’t even find a single source of explanation online either. I had to visit multiple sites and even then people online seem to only be taking best guess at these settings.

This was a huge upgrade from our previous soundbar and did not disappoint. Big, clear sounds, with true surround feels. Even the background sounds from film comes through that weren’t noticed before making you feel you are apart of the screen. Chris, our sales help was incredible helpful and friendly helping us choose the best fit for our needs. Easy to connect and love the display on the bar

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!

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.

Bass is excellent, and the content that billows through the speakers sound fantastic. I look forward to it's use everyday after work. Its that good. The price is worth it. Haven't had a bad day with it. I'm already did all my HW on it, and I'm proud to finally own one. It was very hard to get!

The dialogue on this device is one of a kind not the greatest surround sound, unfortunately, but it's not why I bought it. I bought it so I could actually hear what people are saying in movies. It balances explosion with dialogue almost perfectly.So that one is not too much louder than the other It is a high ticket item. However, it delivers high ticket quality. If you're looking for dialogue everywhere else, it comes at a little short. But it does not disappoint.You won't be sorry.I highly recommend this You will be happy with it if you accept what it is and what it is not

This sound bar coupled with a Samsung tv for use with qharmony is exceptional. This is the first soundbar that delivers rich bass with great surround sound

Samsung makes the best sound bar systems on the market. The sound from this setup is simply amazing. Go to a local BestBuy and hear it for yourself. Dialogue is clear, surround sound is immersive, and bass is appropriate. You will never reach the same level as a dedicated receiver and speakers, but for the price and the convenience...this is worth every penny.

Very good quality sound system for a small to mid-size room. It is a little bulky, but worth it. Surround sound works amazingly.

I am very pleased with this soundbar and its satellite speakers. I will admit I was initial concerned about how this soundbar would interface with my Sony TV, but that concern was without reason. I had no problem connecting it with the TV. I also was very happy that it connected well with my Alexa as well. I admit that since I am not using a Samsung, I might be losing some of the great interfaces the two products will have, I find that the once I got the app for this soundboard I had no problem adjusting the settings of the soundbar to match what I wanted. It clearly has no problem with Dolby Atmos and I love how the soundbar will even tell me when it is using Atmos. It also works very well with my other devices and so it makes an amazing speaker for my iPhone and Amazon Echo when playing music. I looked at a lot of reviews for soundbars and there was a pretty clear consensus that this set was one of the best. So while it is a tad pricey, it lives up to its value and reputation.

This system punches above its weight and delivers phenomenal sound and clarity. I’ve had it for a year and continue to smile when I get it going for a movie or game. Even more impressive is how it handles low volumes, with clear voices and detail. If your means allow, I’d get it and wouldn’t look back.

I got this the other day and let me tell you it was easy to install and when I say my room comes to life vibrantly filled with amazing sound quality that competes with my home theater system that cost 40k more! You cant go wrong with this one.

Using Samsung's Q-Symphony with both the TV speakers and soundbar speakers active is a pleasure to experience. The sound is immersive and feels balanced. The rear sound seems just enough and not so much to notice the speakers as coming from a separate source. The bass also blends in and isn't bloated or overbearing.

The setup is straightforward plug in and you're ready to go and the sound is amazing on any movie and show especially Top Gun and any Transformer movie I guarantee it but wait there's more; if you download the SmartThings app you can customize your sounds even more. Money well spent in my opinion.
