Almost perfect!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ONLY REASON IT’S NOT 5 STARS IS TWO REASON 1. The rear speakers are not truly “wireless”. There is a hub that you connect the speak wire to. So you will have to hide the wire for clean look. 2. There should be around 30% more bass and lack’s mid range. Both reasons are my being picky! 5 STAR REASONS -Install takes anywhere from 5 minutes to 20 minutes if you are hiding all wires. -Paired up first timing Turning the system on. -So loud I haven’t turned it up all the way. -Sound quality is impeccable - Good for both music and movies - looks slick If you don’t want to have to hassle with a wired Adoby atmos system this is for you!

Posted .Hi BradleyF,
Thank you for purchasing the 2021 HW-Q850A Samsung Soundbar. I am glad to hear the setup process was a breeze, and that you are enjoying the performance of your brand new soundbar.
We greatly value your feedback regarding the design of the rear speakers included with your unit. Occasionally, customers have trouble hiding and running speaker wires from the front of the room (where the soundbar is) to the back of their room (where they have their rear speakers). The Rear Speaker Kit is designed to eliminate that hassle.
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 to -12 or between -6 to +6. To set the subwoofer volume level to 0, press the button in.
2) Adjust the bass control by pressing the SOUND CONTROL button (gear icon) 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.
You can also adjust your rear speaker volume by selecting REAR LEVEL, REAR TOP LEVEL, and then use the Up/Down buttons to adjust within a -6 to +6 range.
For more precise audio adjustments, you can also use the 7-band frequency equalizer to optimize the sound for your room acoustics.
I hope these tips help. For further assistance with features, settings, adjustments, or functions please contact Samsung Customer Support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (ask for Soundbars), available 8AM -12AM EST, 7 days a week. Or text HELP to 62913.

Excellent sound
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOVE THIS SOUNDABAR! Excellent audio, and the sub shakes my little theatre room--and probably my whole little house lol. Got some speaker stands for the back channel speakers and those sound excellent as well. The soundbar is just low profile enough to sit on my tv stand that comes with my 85" Samsung QN90B that its right under the screen and doesn't interfere with viewing. Highly highly recommend that TV as well.

So far so good !
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good setup was easy and It connected to my Samsung tv easily. I fought the connect to the left and right speakers for a while until I just reset the sound bar and then no problems after that. The sound sos cut out but I’m pretty sure that’s because everything is Wi-Fi and if your network or Wi-Fi drops or is overloaded like mine duh what do you think will happen to the connection but that literally only happened once and for a second or two within the week. I’m looking into buying a new router modem. Besides the the subwoofer hits nicely and the back speakers come in when they are supposed to. My dad came over and loved it and is getting one as well. I frugal so if you ask me I think everything is over priced

Q: QuestionDo the sub and rear surround module connect to the soundbar via Bluetooth or wifi? What channel or frequency do they use? It's important to know in case I need to change the channel on my wifi router and access points to eliminate any interference.
Asked by Guitarman.
- A:Answer Hi Guitarman! The rear speakers and subwoofer connecting to the HW-Q850A use a 5.8GHz frequency by default. The radio frequency channel of the Subwoofer and Surround Speaker can be changed as below : 1. With the power of the Soundbar on, vertically press and hold the WOOFER button on the remote controller for at least 5 seconds. - The display shows “W-CH” and the currently set radio frequency channel. 2. Press the Up/Down button on the remote controller to change the radio frequency channel, and then press the Play button. - The display shows “OK” and then the frequency is set to the changed channel. - You can exit the setting mode by pressing any button other than Up/Down or Play. ^Tim

Q: QuestionI just bought this system last week, i have been having some issues with the rear speakers cutting in and out at times. Has anyone else had this problem? Also theres been a few times i have not had any sound coming from the whole system. Any help please?

Q: QuestionIf this only has one HDMI input, how will it play sound when I want to play a DVD or Apple TV? What should my DVD player/devices be plugged into? Thanks!!
Asked by Mark.
- A:Answer Hi Mark! There are two ways to utilize the HDMI connections on the soundbar. HDMI ARC allows you to connect your devices to the TV, then run one HDMI from the soundbars output to the TVs HDMI ARC port. All sound from the TV will then play through the soundbar. Alternatively, you can connect a device to the soundbars HDMI input, then run an HDMI cable from the soundbar's output to the TV. This will allow you to play the audio from the device through the soundbar, and pass the video through to the TV. ^Tim

Q: QuestionWill this system work as well with an LG TV (LG - 65" Class C1 Series OLED 4K UHD Smart webOS TV) or is it best suited to Samsung TVs?
Asked by MarkFromHudson.
- A:Answer Hi markjholloway! The HW-Q850A is not brand specific and is compatible with HDMI, digital optical, and Bluetooth wireless audio connections. Check the back of your TV, or consult the user manual if needed, to determine if your TV supports one of these two audio connections for compatibility with the HW-Q850A Samsung Soundbar. ^Tim

Q: QuestionJust bought a 75” Q80T tv. Looking to buy a sound bar for this monster. Was looking at the Q850A or the Q950A. Which one would pair better with the Q80T?
Asked by Excited.
- A:Answer Hi Excited - You can't go wrong adding either the Q850A or Q950A to your Q80T TV! The Q850A is a 5.1.2 channel Dolby Atmos soundbar. The Q950A is an 11.1.4 channel Dolby Atmos soundbar with wide speakers placed at each corner of the soundbar to produce a wider range of sound, delivering an immersive surround sound experience. Both soundbars include Q-Symphony, SpaceFit Sound, AirPlay 2, Game Pro Mode, Built-in Voice Assistants, Tap Sound, Active Voice Amplifier, Acoustic Beam Technology, and HDMI eARC support. In addition to the features included in both soundbars, the Q950A features Auto EQ technology which can detect and correct low-frequency response peaks caused by the room dimensions and the subwoofer location. The Q950A also includes our new SWA-9500S Rear Speaker Kit with Dolby Atmos technology, which no longer require a wireless module connection. ^Gina
