  1. JulianS

    Best soundbar ive ever owned ! Samsung really nailed it on this one everything about it is great love the app as well .

  2. GetdaNeo

    I love the power and Atmos spacial sound. However, there is a rea speaker disconnect on older models produced b3fore August 2022.. definitely worth the money!!!!!!!

  3. JeffS

    I recently “upgraded” from the JBL Soundbar 9.1, a system which I LOVED!!!, to the JBL 1300X 11.1. To succinctly summarize, the audio quality of the more powerful 11.1 did not approach the caliber of the 9.1.

    After a discussion with JBL’s customer support team, we completed all the prescribed troubleshooting steps. The representatives requested a few days to consult with their internal team. Ultimately, their conclusion was that my unit might be defective, and they advised me to return it for a replacement.

    Upon their advice, I return the unit and got another JBL 11.1. Regrettably, upon installing the second unit, I faced similar issues related to the performance of the 12-inch woofer, particularly when compared to the superior bass output from the 8-inch woofer in the JBL 9.1 model. Consequently, I had to return the unit for the second time.

    Next, I bought the Sonos – Arc Soundbar, equipped with Dolby Atmos, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa, complemented by the Sonos – Sub (Gen 3) Wireless Subwoofer. While I anticipated significant improvement, surprisingly, this combination did not outperform the audio experience delivered by the JBL 9.1 within my room.

    Subsequently, I ventured to try the Sony – SA-SW5 300W Wireless Subwoofer, coupled with the Sony – HT-A7000 7.1.2 Channel Soundbar featuring Dolby Atmos. Regrettably, this setup also fell short of the exceptional audio quality that the JBL 9.1 had to offer.

    Now, let me turn to my evaluation of the Samsung Q990B. This system is absolutely outstanding! It shakes the entire house with amazing sound! The bass is profound yet sharp. The soundbar yields a vibrant sound, apt for both movies and music. It is undoubtedly the best soundbar on the market for its price, especially for larger rooms.

  4. Huelights

    The Q990b is a audio treat! We enjoy everything we watch that much more with this set up in tbe background.

  5. Gustav

    Its been working better than expected. Great surround sound. Strong bass and amazing Dolby atmos effects. Really brings movies to life.

  6. Afern

    Now about 6-8 months into ownership and this sound bar has exceeded all expectations. We have an LG TV and it works seemless with it. The surround sound makes you feel like youā€™re inside the show/movie. This is a 10/10 item

  7. EricM

    Great item no damage to parts all included great price

  8. Bah0482

    left rear speaker cuts out. samsung acts like its not an issue and you are crazy. Geeksquad resets it and listens for 10 mins and tells you sorry for your luck unless we can duplicate we can do nothing for you. terrible customer service

  9. AlvinG

    best soundbar system nothing could come close Just like in the movie theaters you can really feel the rumble & the kick of a single Subwoofer it can really immerse you a whole new experience like no other…ill buy another one just like it…

    HW-Q990B…

  10. RACF

    If you are looking for a home theater that is easy to install and with the best sound for movies with Dolby Atmos, you cannot go wrong with this one.

  11. Brianvthokies

    I love this sound bar. Playing music is good but when watching movies this thing is great. It pairs great with my Samsung TV.

  12. RichardLee

    The Samsung soundbar is great. The sound quality with dolby atmos.

  13. MatthewW

    Best sound I have ever had with a surround sound system. Highly recommend

  14. MarcG

    Excellent Sound Bar. A lot of power that will satisfy majority of rooms. Iā€™ve had product for half a year now. Paired up with a Sony OLED. No issues with surround speakers drops like reviews mention.

  15. dj23003

    The best at home surround sound that I have ever used!

  16. LuisLuis

    The samsung soudbar its amazing for movies and gaming.

  17. Staceyp

  18. Hamonry65

    Difference is noticeable instantly, whenever go back to TV speakers.

  19. Timl

    Excellent sound bar. Easy setup. Great sound. Would recommend

  20. Evan

    Awesome product I totally recommend! The tweeters sometimes make me think something or some one is behind me so I pause the tv and then remember itā€™s just the tweeters doing there job

  21. Gman

    I was really concerned about the price of this product but after setting up and play it i love my Samsung Q99OB sound bar thank you all

  22. MariaC

    The best at home dolby atmos experience you can get. No matter what game, show, or movie I watch, theres always a moment that makes these speaker the coolest purchase Ive ever made.

  24. Robin

    Great sound system works excellent with Samsung tv

  25. Cory

    Incredible Atmos sound and makes every viewing experience 100x better

  26. LarryF

    Bluetooth rear and sub do not connect unless they are in the mood. Leaves you listening to a soundbar ONLY and that is not the goal Samsung. What a waste of money.

  27. Ivan

    Upon reading other reviews it did say the wireless speakers tend to lag out here and there but that’s all based off your connection and Wi-Fi connection but this is some powerful sound

  28. Adam

    I am loving it.. great service from best buy in case of return too

  29. GamerMania

    If not for one major and persistent issue this soundbar would be perfect. The left rear speaker is continuously dropping connection/sound. It was on rare occasion at first, then became increasingly more frequent. After the manufacturers warranty expired it has been constant. When I would call Samsung support both before and after warranty expiration, the instructions were always a factory reset which never resolved the problem. I have performed multiple resets and ID syncs and power cycles without success. I scheduled a Geek Squad visit and hope this issue can be resolved. It’s so disappointing because otherwise this would be an excellent device.

  30. Adidas69

    Piece of garbage. Has no “Sound”. Sounds like playing in a tin can.

  31. GreggorM

    Incredible sound quality!! I read many positive reviews however was still skeptical in regards to the Dolby Atmosā€¦ Samsung nailed it!! We absolutely love feeling like weā€™re submerged into the movie and literally feel like weā€™re at the movies at home!!

    Worth the money for sure!

  32. Unknown

    The best surround sound investment so far. the Atmos dolly digital aspect of this unit is great the bass is punchy and vocals very clear.

  33. user779623

    It would be nice if the back speakers were a little stronger and making adjustments to the sound was easier. Overall we are happy with our purchase. Service from Best Buy was very good.

  34. JohnH

    Very easy to setup and use sounds wonderful. Great for movies and music.

  35. Marioman

    Amazing unit. The sound is crisp and the dolby atmos is just OMG

  36. RameshP

    works perfect and good for the medium size room. Sound bar is very effective.

  37. KingofPringles

    My only complaint was i ran into some issues connecting to wifi and had to delete and reinstall the app.

  38. WilliamM

    Took it back, could not get enough base. Tried 3 different models.

  39. Pablito

    Amazing sound quality and speakers for music!! You can get the theater experience sound with the Dolby atmos surround sound that comes with the sound bar

  40. Ravi

    This product solved my issue of using the Atmos soundbar in 2 storied Great room. This gives perfect sound effect.

  41. Note4lofe20

    This is definitely a nice buy. My setup is all Samsung. I’m running the QSymphony. I’m hearing things I didn’t hear on my old system. The only issue is the bass when it comes to moves and low volume. This system needs the 10″ woofer for sure. The 8″ is ok when the movie calls for bass, but could definitely be better. The volume is crazy insane. I took it to 25. That’s all my ears could take.
    Samsung next generation 10″ sub please. Also more adjustment controls on the App.

  42. Beatmaster

    Best bang for your buck! Ill buy this over sono arc with era 300 and subs all day everyday

  43. golf18mike

    This system rocks… I love how you can control every speaker. The atmos is truly amazing.

  44. PeterB

    Super easy to set up With my Samsung tv. This home theater in a box sounds awesome! Really feels like there are more speakers around the room. I bought the Q990B model, which is the 2022-2023 model but has similar features as the newer Q990C. The Samsung setup is also less expensive than the equivalent 4 piece youā€™d have to assemble from Sonos.

  45. MichaelM

    Although the first one came in DOA….Best Buy handled the replacement quickly. I switched to this system after having a full Definitive Technology Tower speakers w/ 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos setup up and this is very close.

  46. NeerajK

    Best buy ettend the coustmer good nice good sound bar

  47. RaulV

    This is the king of the sound bars in 2022. It has excellent sound from all speakers and the subwoofer will blow you away.

    Better that the sound, is Samsung’s customer service. My house was struck with a power surge damaging thousands of dollars in electrics and appliances. Samsung took it back and replaced the power board and even replaced the front screen as it was dented.

  48. MbyrneM

    When it works it is great but Iā€™ve been increasingly frustrated with poor connection to the subwoofer, which is not far and in direct line of sight. If itā€™s a product QA issue I will update but thatā€™s still not great.

  49. JonathonB

    Coming from a 10+ year old Bose Acustamass 10 system (Wired with an external amplifier), I’m very impressed with how far wireless tech has come along. from the rear channels to the subwoofer. I have a Q series Samsung TV and it seamlessly connects to my TV and works with Qsymphony to use the TV speakers as part of the system output. It fills my large great room without any issue.

    Having this wireless is a big plus if you don’t have the ability to have a cinema system, and it sounds great.

    I also got a screaming deal if you purchase through ID.me and can take advantage of the Military/Education/government discount, like 50% off

  50. JasonJ

    It was a good Soundbar until it got defective after a 10 months. Every time i turned on the Soundbar, volume automatically increases 100%. Samsung was good enough to send support and when they unable to fix because of parts, they asked me to return for an exchange or refund
