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

I got fed up of the speaker cables etc for my Av setup and opted to buy a soundbar that could make a decent job at recreating Dolby Atmos. I read reviews on What HiFi and this scored highly (even at the original full price which was twice what I paid). I'm no audiophile but the sound is amazing. The soundbar was simple to set up, connection to the sub and surround speakers was instant and hassle free. It is a BIG soundbar, matches the width of my TV (55inch LG) and it is heavy and well built. There is a basic remote supplied which is OK so I opted to use the Samsung smart app for a more detailed control. There are 4 sound options (standard, Game, virtual surround and adaptive surround) and optimisation options such as subwoofer levels, equaliser to adjust the sound levels for front, back speakers etc.I paid just over £800 and for that I think it gives good value for money, sound clarity is good and it is far tidier than wired speaker system!

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.

Was worried would be faulty. But amazing price and amazing sound love it

Simple to set up and cracking sound.Admittedly this was our first surround sound etc purchase but we're v happy and friends who visit seem impressed too

Amazing sound system. I got rid of my dolby atmos q acoustics full set up with receiver,due to space, and bought this instead not expecting it to be any where near the sound quality. I was SUPER impressed by this system, it really is a game changer, actually gives better sound and dolby atmos effects than my full 7 large speaker, 2 subwoofer set up!! INCREDIBLE technology

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).

Impressive kit, too bulky for us unfortunately
