Samsung HW-Q990D

“I just bought the Samsung Q990D soundbar setup for 1k and it is mind blowingly impressive. If you don't plan on adding the ultra setup to existing sonos speakers you have, I would recommend taking a look at the Samsung. Quality is excellent and it is extremely loud.”

“if what you care the most about is gaming and movies, honestly I prefer my Q990D setup to my Arc Ultra setup. And I still have both side by side in my vacation home and switch back and forth all the time.”

“my Q990D bought in Sept 2024 also auto-updated from 1016 to 1021.2 and sound doesn’t work. Tried resetting and all the extra steps, but nothing.”

“I have the Q990D. It's great. But I have zero doubt in my mind you'll get better audio quality by putting together an actual system. Not that this thing sounds disappointing in any way to me.”

“I am using the q990D with my LG C4, just got it for $1500 and has been worth every penny.”

“I have Q990D and can say it is not for music.”

“back with a new edition of things that sound good not bad through the Samsung Q990D Sound Shyshtem. Today it was the game soundtrack for Clair Obscur Expedition 33. It's sounded good, not bad.”

“I have the Q990d and a neighbour has the quad with the sub. It's not even close. Sony has a much bigger soundstage, the surround again is much better.”

“I just got the Samsung hw-q990d myself a week ago and i am so f'ing happy with it. Been watching war movies every night all week”

“Few months old Q990D. Today it got an OTA update - even though I switched it off in the Smart Things app settings after I've read about the update issues -, to 1021.2 from 1016 and now the eArc doesn't work... great.”

“I currently have a Samsung Q990D in our spare TV room which I occasionally use for music whilst working. It's nowhere near as impressive as my 5.1 system but for a soundbar, it's much better than average.”

“I’ve only had my Q990D for about 3 weeks but I’ve never heard it rattle. Also, I’ve never had the volume above 30 I don’t think.”

“functionallity both are good..connectivity superb, if you have tv with earc and hdmi cable 2.1. To me small woofer of q990f little bit more powerful.”

“If you like heavy bass, the Q990D is not the right solution for you. That’s one of the reasons I decided to buy something else.”

“I've had the Q990d for a week now, although it certainly produces less bass, it delivers enough base when listening to music and movies. The overall sound works better in our average sized lounge room for movies and TV”

“At higher volume you really notice the smaller drivers, with the sound hollowing.”

“I have this exact setup. It's fantastic. I live in a condo and got a base plate to keep the sub from rattling my downstairs's neighbors' ceiling.”

“my top of the line Samsung Q990D is fantastic, but at only elevated volume! Not so conducive to my peaceful, late night movie binging!”

“I had watched these earlier on the Q990D, and yeah, the bass feels punchier. But overall, it doesn’t feel like a huge upgrade to me.”

“I have the Samsung q990d and have modded it, so I have two additional powered subs. Sounds great, shakes the house!”

“It's an 8" driver in a relatively small enclosure so there's only so much it's capable of. It says it's a 200w amp, but not all amps are created equally. I have an older outlaw lfm2 down firing 8" with a 150w bash amp that trounces the Samsung at less power. Goes lower and louder.”

“I had the Q990D at one point and the volume never went past 10. It's very powerful. I returned it because it's overkill for me.”

“Bass being good on q990d i don’t know why people not getting the post lol”

“no regrets whatsoever quads absolutely demolish the q990d no doubt about that the separation the nuances the details the natural avr like sound quality samsung is too loud and dsp heavy”
