Got my Q990D two days ago and I could be more thrilled. I have a 85" QM8 and pairs nicely. You honestly don't need Q symphony. From what I have been reading, the difference is very minute. Use the adaptive sound with sound fit on and you'll be a very happy person. I'm still trying to figure out the channel levels and determine if it needs tweaking but it's a great buy! You won't be disappointed.

bought this system a few days ago and im loving it. I'm sure my neighbours appreciate the bass that this produces.

Nobody else just notice his dog casually jump up almost through the TV 😂

Have the Q990C, its an amazing system, was able to get it from Samsung for only $720 new.

[trewright]

I have the Q990C and it is a monster. Paired with the S89C and benefits from the Q Symphony feature. We can maybe go the 15 on the volume max before it simply blows us out of the room. Voices are perfectly clear.

Nice review, I just bought the 990D to use with my new 65 inch samsung tv. I was surprised at just how hefty the bar was, it's got some serious weight to it. I have a PS5 and series x both which should work nicely!!!

Bought Q990C from Samsung shop for 737€… now I’m waiting to be delivered 🤩

I just bought a Samsung s90c 55-in 3 months ago I'm looking to get a soundbar and this is the one I'm looking at I've never had a soundbar what do you think man honestly it's a lot of money to put up is this the top is this what I should be getting

[ozzybarry]

Perfect video,

What do you think about Lg s95tr ?
Can not find proper test.
I have LG c3 tv

[vacuumblink]

I bought the Q990B and Amazon sent me the Q990Ds instead. Did I luck out? Lol

[mikem]

Was able to steal the q990d for $800 and the qn85 for $2700 using PerkSpot.. Just waiting on Samsung to deliver it in a few days. This will be a huge step from listening to the tv speakers. I may have to rewatch Band of Brothers or something like Twister to get immersed in it.

I have the Q930b samsung sound bar. It really good, has a good rumble sound. You can connect it with your phone thought Bluetooth and watch movie trailers on your phone, and have good sound while watching them.

[speedvr]

Just purchased on amazon for £1095 deliver (tomorrow).

Upgrading from the all ready amazing 950t.

Just home the rears go louder.

Thanks for the review. For me, the only negative side of the Samsung system is that they offer everything but I think it is a much better option when you can step-by-step build your home system like Sonos, first, you can buy a soundbar then add Sub and see if it is perfect for you and if it is perfect than no need to buy rear speakers but when you decide to level up your system later you can buy rear speakers too but in this case, you want it or not it comes with everything. also, I agree with you and sometimes I can not understand the stupid politics of brands. why you are not offering for example white version, I think a lot of people will agree that from an aesthetic point of view for home design interior, it will be a beautiful option to have different color options. and the weird thing is that in this big company, there are a lot of clever people marketing specialists, and so on who know better than we that color option will be nice but somehow they continue not to offer that option.

You mention you don’t need to buy this version if you are not planning to add your gaming console with 120hz to your tv…… but I think you mean the soundbar. Because you can plug your console into the TV and play on 120hz. Only the sound will go to the Soundbar. This is how I currently have my setup. All devices directly in my tv with supported HDMI ports and the sound to my soundbar. No issues at all. Or do I missunderstand what you say?

[timowthie]

where do you download these Atmos demos?

[abdulsamadshaikh]

How's sound quality when it comes to music? How clear the frequencies are? How close the music sound is as compared to a mid range hifi system with an av receiver and bookshelf speakers? Thanks!

[shepchester]

Very helpful video, thank you. Other than the voice enhancement, dose it sound noticeably better than the C, with movies?

[lyuto_bor]

Hi, I got this soundbar, and I was wondering if you have the same feeling that when the volume is below 15, the default sounds are very quiet, but the loud sounds are still loud. At +15 volume, everything sounds good, but at night it's impossible to watch a movie

[Bitdead]

Do i need to worry about the Q990C lack of HDMI 2.1 if i can connect the sound bar and Xbox directly to my 4k 120hz tv?
