    Great Sound, I paired this with my new Samsung 85" Neo QLED 4K. Together they make the house feel like I am in a theater. I like the Dolby Atmos and the wireless features with subwoofer and rear speakers which allows me to move them to different locations if I want without running speaker wire and audio9 cable. This sound system replaces my older Pioneer Elite VSX-40 and Polk Speakers.

    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.

    Replaced a 5 year old Samsung HW90R, the sound improvement was much better than i expected. The subwoofer has more than enough power for any action move. The sound bar itself is amazing but when you add the Q-Symphony feature it takes the audio experience to a new level.

    Easy. This sound system is literally plug and play to the point I almost couldn't believe it. The last Sound System I had running wires all over the living room, this is all wireless and just plugs into power outlets where needed. The sound is crisp and clear and after the first night of watching it I literally jumped out of my seat because the sound was so realistic I thought someone was in the room running behind me during a horror movie. My wife laughed at me but in all fairness the rear speaker was closer to me than it was to her so shame on her! I think for a one and done system with a very easy to use app by the way, this can't be beat. I'm not an audiophile and can't give you the minute details about the highs and lows but for what I needed, this goes above and beyond.

    The system has phenomenal sound quality. The surround speakers work great, haven't had any issues with the surround speakers or subwoofer disconnecting. HDMI 2.1 passthrough is great for modern gaming. About the only downside is that the length of the power cables for the surround speakers is a little short (~6ft) so I had to buy longer replacement cables. I don't use the Q-symphony feature (I think it makes the voices too tinny). Other minor cons: I don't like the buttons being on top of the unit - too easy for cats to sit on it and turn it off or tell the Bluetooth to start searching, also the LED display is a lot smaller than it was on my HW-K850, so you have to wait for words to scroll by to see what setting you're changing.

    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.

    The Samsung Soundbar with Wireless Speakers is an absolute game-changer for home entertainment, and I can’t stop raving about it! From the moment I unboxed this sleek system, I was blown away by how effortlessly it came together. The setup process was, without a doubt, my favorite feature—simple, intuitive, and lightning-fast. I started by unboxing the unit, plugging it in, and turning on my Samsung TV. Boom! Everything synced up perfectly, just as it was supposed to. No complicated manuals or endless troubleshooting—within minutes, the soundbar and wireless speakers were ready to fill my living room with rich, immersive sound. The wireless connection between the soundbar, subwoofer, and rear speakers was flawless, eliminating the hassle of running cables across the room. Pairing my iPhone with the Samsung SmartThings app was equally seamless. I downloaded the app, and boom! My phone instantly became the ultimate remote control for both the TV and soundbar. With just a few taps, I could power the system on or off, adjust the volume, change TV channels, and fine-tune every setting imaginable. The level of control is nothing short of amazing—everything I need is right at my fingertips. But the real magic happened when I connected my phone to the soundbar for music streaming. The connection was effortless, and in no time, I was blasting my favorite Pandora playlists through the soundbar’s speakers. Whether it’s Pandora or any other streaming app, the sound quality is phenomenal—crisp, clear, and powerful, with deep bass and immersive surround sound that elevates every song. The wireless speakers add a dynamic layer to the audio, making my living room feel like a concert hall. Overall, I’m thrilled with this system. The sound quality is outstanding, the wireless setup is a dream, and the SmartThings app integration makes controlling everything a breeze. From setup to streaming, every aspect of this Samsung Soundbar with Wireless Speakers is totally awesome. I can’t say enough good things about it—it’s a must-have for anyone looking to upgrade their home audio experience!

    AMAZING! I'm so glad I waited for the HDMI 2.1 Passthrough that the 990-C was lacking. If you're not a gamer, you probably won't even miss it, so save yourself hundreds by going with the 990-C. If you want the best of the best, the 990-D is the way to go! I would advise installing Samsung Smart Things App on your phone to explore all the features of this system and fine tune the settings. Just put the remote in a drawer and forget about it if you already own a Samsung TV because the 990-D flawlessly pairs well with any Samsung TV!

    We bought the Samsung Q990D Soundbar package to use together with our new 83-inch LG OLED TV in a new home theater set-up. We were slightly hesitant about pairing the LG with a Samsung set rather than LG or Sonos (which we considered and liked), but our worries were unfounded and we have been very happy with it. It links to the TV using eARC HDMI 2.1 cables and the Dolby Sound really enriches what is already a great surround system. The speakers get more than loud enough for any kind of material without distortion and expand the surround-space and project rear and side sound effects quite realistically. It's slightly bright, but you can adjust that somewhat in the Samsung app you can download on your phone that provides more adjustments than you can make with the remote and manual buttons on the main soundbar. The main soundbar in front sounds as good as or better than anything else we heard, with great mids and clear, distinct dialogue. But the subwoofer is the real surprise - it's got some real oomph and richness to its range and lends a true 3-dimensional quality to the sound. This system makes everything sound great, but it really shines with movies, where the Dolby Sound kicks in and really heightens the surround effects. It also makes music videos come to life. One negative is that the surround effects are highly dependent on room layout and size. Ours is rectangular at about 14 x 19 with a 9 ft ceiling, with two doors that we can close to give us the right sound reflections. Open floor plans or much higher ceilings might not be conducive to optimizing the surround and Dolby features this system uses so effectively.

      Billonious,

      It’s great to hear you’re enjoying the sound quality of your HW-Q990D Soundbar! With 11 front-facing speakers, 1 subwoofer and 4 up-firing channels, you’ll be immersed in sound all around as it fills your room with bold, multi-channel audio you can feel from all angles. And with a rear speaker kit included, your complete home theater experience is right in the box.

      SpaceFit Sound Pro is a great feature that analyzes your environment to automatically optimize the audio accordingly for accurate clear sound. For this to work you must have the mic unmuted.

      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.

    Overall a solid purchase. Sound is pretty good and way better than the prior 3.1 system of a different brand. Not only is the sound fuller bc of the rear speakers, but the overall sound quality is clear and relatively full and dynamic. Not as good as a 5.1 Denon, wired system, but still pretty good. I'm pleased with the sound quaility. Rating it a 4 instead of a 5 bc the bluetooth connectivity of bass and rear speakers, and the eHDMI connection to the TV of a different brand is sometimes wonky. I've had to unplug and replug the sound system to reset/connect it at least once.

    I thought this would sound like just any other soundbar given it is only a soundbar but this completely changed the sound in my living room. Amazing bass/highs/lows and even surround sound. I didn’t have space to get a 5 or 7 seperate speaker system and this almost accomplishes that with just 2 physical surround speakers. I also love that you simply need to connect the power for each speaker and they instantly connect and start working.
