My soundbar was 8 years old, and the subwoofer kept cutting out. I kept having to troubleshoot the problem, and now I'm getting movie theater sound quality. I am very pleased with this upgrade.

Pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of this soundbar. I got tired of all the wires and this provides a nice clean look with the ability to connect a second set of wireless speakers

The Q990F is incredible — crystal-clear dialogue, powerful bass, and truly immersive Atmos with sound coming from every direction. Setup was simple, and it feels like a full theater system without the hassle. Worth every penny!

Amazing quality sound bar. Probably the best true surround you can get without getting a full home theater system. The q symphony with Samsung TVs is a nice touch too

I'm delighted with my purchase. The product arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described on the website. Shipping was also fast, and customer service was exceptional.

Extremely disappointed. After trying other versions of this, I went all out and spent the money for this set. It’s not good. While it is defective, the rear speakers had zero audio coming from them other than static. The subwoofer was a complete joke. I’m not sure about some of these reviews, but I will say the q800f sub is WAY better. The bar to that one isn’t very loud though.
I’m sorry to hear that you’re dissatisfied with the performance of your HW-Q990F Soundbar.
The soundbar offers a wide range of audio adjustments to fine-tune the sound to your preferences. You can manually optimize your audio experience using the SOUND CONTROL button (identified by a gear icon) on the remote. This allows you to access and adjust settings like Auto EQ, SpaceFit Sound, AVA (Active Voice Amplifier), Voice Enhance Mode, Night Mode, Sync, Surround Speaker Mode, and Virtual Sound Mode. Use the Up and Down buttons to navigate and adjust each feature. For more precise sound tuning, press and hold the SOUND CONTROL button for about five seconds. This enables you to adjust specific frequency bands, including 150Hz, 300Hz, 600Hz, 1.2kHz, 2.5kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz. You can cycle through these frequencies using the Left and Right buttons, and adjust their levels between -6 and +6 using the Up and Down buttons.
If you’d prefer a quicker way to optimize your audio, simply press the SOUND MODE button on your remote and select from STANDARD, SURROUND SOUND, GAME, or ADAPTIVE SOUND modes based on your preference.
To fine-tune individual speaker channels, press the CH LEVEL button on your remote. This gives you control over levels for the Center, Side, Wide, Front Top, Rear, and Rear Top speakers. Once you've selected the desired channel, you can adjust its volume between -6 and +6 using the Up and Down buttons. There are also a couple of ways to adjust bass levels. The WOOFER button lets you increase or decrease bass by pushing forward or pulling back, with a range between -12 and +6. Pressing the button inward will reset the bass to 0. Alternatively, the TONE CONTROL button allows you to adjust both bass and treble levels within a -6 to +6 range.
For even greater convenience, you can manage all of these settings and more through the SmartThings app on your iOS or Android device. After connecting your soundbar to Wi-Fi, the app gives you a user-friendly interface to adjust and view settings right from your phone or tablet.

Compact wireless speakers with big bass!

Easy system to set up and the sound is terrific! I’ve connected everything using Blue Tooth and it was very easy. I like the compact woofer and while I was worried about the size, I still get a big bass sound from it. It’s not as booming as my last woofer but the trade off of having my sound system disappear into the room and still have a quality bass sound was worth it. I would buy the product again and recommend it. Despite buying it on sale and saving $700, the system was still on the pricey side at $1300.

I was a little skeptical as I thought the dual 8” sub would not provide the bass I needed. I was wrong I have 2 10” subs in my car and this compact sub performs well just as well. Especially with Dolby atmos content. Dialog and loudness of the soundbar is the true highlight here. Set up was a breeze as well. I highly recommend this as it also has 4K 120Hz pass through for video games players. 10/10 better compatibility wise compared to the Sonos Immersive set and significantly cheaper. Go this sound bar and don’t look back!

The Samsung Q-Series HW-Q990F is an incredible soundbar setup that really brings the theater experience home. With its 11.1.4 channels, subwoofer, and rear speakers, the sound feels huge and fully immersive—especially with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support. The bass is deep, dialogue is crystal clear, and it adjusts nicely depending on what you’re watching. I also love how easy it is to use with Alexa, AirPlay, and HDMI eARC. If you want powerful, room-filling sound without the hassle of a full receiver and wired speakers, this system is hard to beat.

The Samsung soundbar arrived undamaged and two days early. It was easy to install and came with a helpful guide for setup. The sound quality is great and I like the wireless features of the speaker. The balance of the surround system helps with the clarity of the sound and overall background effects. I also like having the ability to use my phone app to set up and control the features. Overall, the system has exceeded my expectations.

I truly believe sound can resonate/tap into our emotions and feelings so I have been on a search for the best sound system that would allow me to trully experience in an immersive way the sounds that I listen to. Even though i am long time fan of Samsung technology and engineering when it comes to something like a speaker system. I didn't want to compromise just because of the brain. Luckily out of the systems i have tried, the Samsung Q990F came on top and is by far the best. This system delivers a clean and esthetic look, easy setup and moreover is compatible with most devices and brands. More importantly, it delivers what it claims to do, a clean and crisp DolbyAtmos suround sound with an unmatched bass coming from the subwoofer that would make your house feel like it is part of the movie you're watching or music you're listening to. For the price, there's nothing better out there than the Samsung Q990F!

Looking to replace home theater system that we have had for years, a 7-speaker system driven by a Sony receiver and Bose speakers, all connected by hard wire speaker cable. Audio effects and sound were excellent however we always experienced issues with hearing voices clearly without turning up the volume and subsequently the background noise of whatever we were watching. I reviewed and shopped around between the Sony Sound Bar (since we have Sony TV), Bose Soundbar, and Samsung Soundbar. I finally chose the Samsung Q Series HW-Q990F 11.1.4 ch w/Subwoofer and Rear Speakers. All three systems are highly rated. The appeal of the Samsung System was definitely the price and included the Subwoofer and Rear Speakers. Otherwise purchasing these extra components would have occurred much higher expense than the price of the Samsung Q-990F Series Soundbar. I am glad I made the choice of Samsung because it also had the HDMI inputs to connect the DVD and Satellite System, so everything is routed through the Soundbar. I would not have been able to do that through the Sony Soundbar. So far, we have been very happy with the sound output and sound effects of a theater experience. Particularly the voices come through much better even without switching the "Voice Enhanced Mode". Certainly, I would recommend to anyone choosing the Samsung Soundbar Q990F
