[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung has released the HW-Q990D which is the premium flagship model for 2024. They finally listened to the consumers with this year’s model by adding HDMI 2.1 support. This should make console lovers happy and shows Samsung does listen to their consumers. Samsung has decided to keep the same form factor since their 2022 release the HW-Q990B. This 11.1.4 setup has continued to win multiple awards as the best premium soundbar in class year after year. Why reinvent the wheel? Here is the most asked question I have seen about the HW-Q990D “If you already own a previous model, should you upgrade to the latest version”? Are there enough features to upgrade? Here are the top features for 2024 : HDMI 2.1 with 4K/120Hz passthrough: A major improvement over the previous model, making it ideal for gamers. Powerful and immersive sound: The 11.1.4-channel system with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X which creates a rich and detailed soundscape. Q-Symphony 3.0: Integrates seamlessly with compatible Samsung TVs for enhanced audio performance. Private Listening Mode: This feature allows you to use only the rear speakers for quiet listening, perfect for late-night movie sessions without disturbing others. Spacefit Sound Calibration: Tailors the sound to your specific room layout for an optimized listening experience. Active Voice Amplifier Pro: Uses AI to enhance dialogue clarity, ensuring you never miss a word. Party Play Mode: This mode creates a balanced sound across the entire system, including the rear speakers, ensuring everyone in the room enjoys a cohesive listening experience. Roon high-resolution music streaming support. The answer to the question above will depend on your budget. Some things to consider is total cost. Since the HW-Q990D is Samsung’s high-end model, it will come with a high price tag to match. Previous year owners of Samsung’s high-end soundbars will need to determine whether the newest features are worth upgrading and would you actually have use for them. The soundscape is still stellar, and fill large rooms. In conclusion, the Samsung HW-Q990D is a premium soundbar that delivers exceptional sound quality, a whole host of features, and improved next-gen console compatibility with the addition of HDMI 2.1 for 4k/120Hz. If this is your first Samsung Premium high soundbar, this is a must buy. To all the existing owners, I would recommend a wait and see approach. Consider all aspects before taking the plunge.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All I can say is WOW! This soundbar totally changes everything now. The sound is much better than I ever imagined it would be! The setup was extremely easy. All of the speakers automatically connected to each other as soon as I plugged them in and connecting the system to my TV only took seconds. I am super impressed as to how easy it was. The sound totally fills my living room which makes watching movies really come to life. I never thought I really needed to have rear speakers, but now that I do it will be a must for me from now on. I really like the SpaceFit Sound feature, it basically adjusts the speakers based on the sound being picked up by the built-in microphone. Very cool for sure and a real game changer. I would highly recommend this system to anyone looking for a premium sound system!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're like me and don't want to bother with extreme audiophile setups, this is a really good setup. It honestly sounds like a movie theater when you crank it up enough! I sometimes turn it down because I worry about noise complaints, so definitely no need to worry about it being loud enough! There is a night mode feature, so volume control is no issue at all either. Music sounds great, movies are amazing assuming they're well mixed and the current problem of dialogue volume on 2 and everything else at 9. The only issue I personally have faced so far is every so often, maybe like once a week or so, the sound will get choppy for about 5 minutes then fix itself. Besides that, highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with this soundbar system, easy to setup and link to my tv. I had to update my tv software to get the full use of the system. The soundbar is much heavier than my old one because of the number of speakers enclosed. It is almost as long as my 65 inchTV is wide.

I’ve had the Q990 D sound bar now for three months and absolutely love it actually bought a new Samsung TV to go with it and the sound is absolutely fantastic. The louder you play it the better it sounds the subwoofer really puts out a fantastic Deep base it is a must buy well worth the money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my q990d for watching movies and listening to music. It has great 3d sound especially using Qsymphony. The only problem is the bass i can barely hear it no matterwhere I place the subwoofer. I have a Q910A that has a better bass than this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well I started with a Q70r from 2017 and coulf not have been happier Then I upgraded to Q990d and omg what and upgrade There’s sound brilliant sound all over the room and when I pop in a Blu-ray movie the game changes Thanks again Samsung.

I bought this thought to be wireless surround sound speakers only to find out that they require 120vac to operate. The item written description says wireless, the item graphics depicts no wires attached. I had to pay an electrician to install an electrical outlet on the wall I intended for the installation of my surround sound speaker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it for all movies, sports, and gatherings. I play some progressive trance and it just comes alive with some old school Dj B side! I'm in Jamaica with some hard old school roots! And in heaven with some oldies.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This surround sound is the best barely even have to increase the volume and it’s super loud and the sound is crisp and clear definitely better then Vizios puts them to shame definitely recommend to anyone that loves to feel like your in a theater without having to go to one since you’ll be at home
