SAMSUNG HW-Q990D Sound Bar 11.1.4 ch with Dolby sound, surround sound expansion, adaptive sound, wireless subwoofer, 2024

I bought this to replace one that no longer worked. The 'Simple User Guide was so simple, it barely told the user anything about setting it up. It stated there were 4 power cords, which there was. It made no mention that the cords were of different length. I started putting out the rear speakers to find the power cord was not long enough and although I have plenty of sockets it would mean I needed an extension lead, which I set up... only to then find the next lead was longer, so I had to unthread the lead and extension lead from behind my shelves... *sigh*. However this was the only real snag. I already knew I needed the Samsung smart things app, so once I set all parts out and plugged them in, using the app was easy and that was it. I didn't need to link in each speaker (which I did with the last one), so one step not needed. I already know the sound is great as I use it on Q-symphony (you must have a Samsung compatible TV to use Q-symphony). Oh one thing which I had with the other sound bar, I had to make my wifi 2.4 only as the wifi to sound bar, TV and mobile phone must always be on the same wifi and I was finding that the wifi kept jumping between 2.4 and 5, so it wouldn't work when the hub switched the wifi. I don't notice any issues with the wifi being only set to 2.4. So do I recommend this soundbar? Yes I do - even better now it is a lot cheaper on Amazon than on Samsung, but if it does stop being Q-symphony, check all (phone, TV and soundbar) are on the same wifi (2.4 or 5).

Absolutely wonderful!! The quality of this setup is frankly unbelievable. As well as the "cinema sound" aspect, the kit has to double as a music system in quite a sizeable room. Our old 5.1 setup was good, but this is fabulous and upscales everything to 11.4.1 with the rear speakers having drivers front, side and top, and the bar similarly equipped with 20-odd drivers. The ATMOS is great and the whole thing was simple to set up, although the quick start guide that is supplied wasn't detailed enough, so download the manual from Samsung. If you have a Samsung phone the smart things app is great for simple control and almost makes the supplied remote redundant (plus it's also really cool to stream music via an app without getting up :-). I would have no hesitation in in giving this 100%

Sounds great, easy to set up. Big step up from my lg soundbar. If you don’t have a Samsung tv get the app to make it easier to get the best sound. Surprisingly satisfying Dolby Atmos sound! Good price at under £740.

Fantastic sound ,works like a dream,really good piece of equipment, easy to use and setup.

Good

No Question. Best spend of £800 this year. Absolutely rocks in every sense. Only thing that could have made it better was an updated TV my end so I can appreciate the Symphony functionality. I've heard the new release since this one and would buy this one in a heartbeat by comparison.

Good sound bar. Got fed up with the hassle of the Sonos. This just works.

Fantastic experience. Great seller and great product. Thank you.

Molto soddisfatto nel prodotto

Please read this review as 4.5 stars. This unit gets high marks from most professional reviewers, and rightly so. Due to advancing age and the realization that I won't be hefting 40lb receivers and 80lb speakers much longer, I decided to start downsizing - and this was the first thing I did. Glad too. It is as good as advertised with only minor criticisms. Out-of-box it is powerful loud, seemingly louder using eArc than the HDMI inputs. (I recommend a break-in period for the speakers before too critical a listen). The center channel seems a bit dominant, L/R mains a bit weak, and low bass prominent with weaker mid-bass. The claimed pass-through capability is only if the soundbar is turned on - it will not pass audio/video if it is off, so if you are planning to use the unit as a hub, just be aware that it is NOT passive pass-through. There are four sound modes but EQ is only available on "Standard"which is unfortunate as it could be positively applied otherwise. I would like to recommend that the next iteration have EQ available in all modes and each speaker individually addressable as well. Right now only Bass/Treble sliders are available for the advanced sound modes (Surround, Adaptive). One critique is that ATMOS is a bit weak, not that it matters much since ATMOS material is not always mentioned in the program descriptions of the various streaming sites when selecting a viewing choice. Fandango does a good job of identifying ATMOS coded offerings but not the other streamers. Amazon Prime Video only offers ATMOS if you pay the extra fee for no commercials, but even then the audio description is missing (I subscribed to no commercials for two days and never saw the word "ATMOS"). I did download some demo files and detected a faint ATMOS effect when playing them through the system. There are two sound adjustments one may employ that attenuate the sound, they are called "SpaceFit" and "Adaptive". I am still trying to figure out what they do, although I did notice a slight echoing effect using Adaptive. The remote is small and sparsely populated with buttons, several of which have arcane double button presses for "hidden" functions. The mobile app is much better and quite handy - highly recommended. In sum, a great sounding system that's even better after break-in. I sincerely hope for better EQ capabilities in the future.

Sehr einfach aufzubauen und zu installieren Ein super Klang

Love the System best one we’ve ever had made our room into an awesome movie theater
