Q: What is the difference between the Q990C and the Q990D ?
A: Hi Matt! Great question! Both models feature 11.1.4Ch audio for a true (& wireless) Dolby Atmos experience, Q-Symphony for synchronized TV+Soundbar audio, as well as features like SpaceFit Sound Pro, Adaptive Sound, and AVA (Active Voice Amplifier). New in 2024, our Q990D Soundbar introduces Private Rear Sound to allow you to watch TV without disturbing others – especially at night – by activating sound solely from the included rear speakers, upgraded Game Mode Pro to further optimize sound to each gaming genre while better separating 3D audio, and an enhanced music experience to enjoy Hi-Fi and Spatial Audio via Tidal Connect, Dolby Atmos Music, and Sound Grouping. Hope this helps! ~ Samsung Solutions
A: The Q990D functions well without the rear speakers and without error.
A: Hi there Michele! Yes, you can connect the HW-Q990D Soundbar to a receiver, but it depends on the models and connection options. It is designed to be a standalone audio system, so integrating it with a receiver and other speakers can sometimes result in poor audio quality. It's important to ensure compatibility and proper settings to avoid any issues. I would recommend streaming music wirelessly from a phone or other compatible device using either WiFi or Bluetooth. If you download the app for your iOS or Android device and then connect your Soundbar to Wi-Fi it will make streaming music easier. ~ Samsung Solutions

I had a Q-series 3.1.2 soundbar before this that I paired with separately sold rear speakers for a total of 5.1.4. That system was good, but there was some minor distortion at higher volumes during action sequences. Overall, that system was good, but this Q-990D system is excellent. No perceived distortion at higher levels, and it gets very loud. The sound fills a large living room extremely well. But it’s just about volume. The sound quality is superb, and that’s what I care most about. I would rather have quality over volume, if I have to pick one over the other. This sound system excels in both areas. With my Q990D paired with my 77” Samsung OLED tv, I really don’t see a reason to go to a theatre. Q-symphony really does work well. When you switch between the Q-symphony and Q-series soundbar options, there is a very big difference in sound. The Q-symphony setting makes this soundbar sound even better. It really does make a big difference. I scored this soundbar for only $900 about 6 weeks ago on a member deal that Best Buy was offering. Its performance is well above that $900 mark, and even at the current $1499 price tag, if that price is within your budget, I really believe it is worth the price. This soundbar consistently ranks at the top of best soundbar lists. If you buy this system, you will not be disappointed.

We switched from an LG SN7R after it started having issues and we picked this up for a great Black Friday deal. We don't have a Samsung TV so we aren't using the Qsymphony features, but I don't feel like we are missing out on anything! This unit gets plenty loud for our large open concept space, but is clear enough to hear everything. 2 notes, 1 it's bigger, so if you have a low profile TV stand that squats, you might need to lift it or raise it as this soundbar is a thicc boi. Other note, the rear speakers are completely wireless and bigger so need to ensure they will fit where you want them to go and that you have individual power connection for each one (not a wireless receiver tying the 2 rears together like the LG) Overall we love it, it sounds great and it gets plenty loud, now just need to find some new mounting solutions for the rears. Thanks for the Black Friday deals!!!!

I recently picked up the Samsung HW-Q990D 11.1.4 Channel Soundbar and honestly, it’s one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my home setup. The sound quality is incredible. It really feels like you’re surrounded by audio, especially when watching movies with Dolby Atmos. Explosions, background effects, and even small details come through super clearly, and the rear speakers make a huge difference. It actually feels like a mini theater in your living room. Reviews also highlight how immersive and detailed the sound is, with clear dialogue even during intense scenes . The bass from the subwoofer hits hard but isn’t overwhelming, which I like. It adds depth without drowning everything else out. Music sounds great too—not just movies—so it’s pretty versatile. Setup was easier than I expected. Everything connects wirelessly, and once it’s up and running, it just works. If you have a Samsung TV, the Q-Symphony feature is a nice bonus because it syncs the TV speakers with the soundbar. Only downside is the price—it’s definitely on the expensive side—but you’re getting a full surround sound system without having to deal with a bunch of wires or complicated installs. Overall, if you’re looking for a premium soundbar that delivers a true cinematic experience at home, this one is 100% worth it.
