[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the privilege of experiencing the latest Samsung HW-Q990D 11.1.4ch Soundbar with Dolby Atmos DTS:X, as I paired this system with my Samsung television. Set-up was straightforward, and the ability to connect wirelessly to my existing Samsung television was beyond convenient. This sound system is sleek, compact, and all-around adaptive to your environment. Featuring a main subwoofer, a front-facing unit with 11-speakers, and 4 up/side-firing speakers-- this soundbar makes for a completely incredible and immersive sound experience. With Samsungs SpaceFit Sound Pro, it's simple to calibrate and optimize sound based on the acoustics of your environment/space. Sound is incredibly crisp and clear, and bass is sharp and unclouded, even with great volume. As a family who utilizes the television for movies, music and gaming, the ability to utilize various pre-sets for optimal sound is a huge plus. We utilize Party Mode when entertaining guests and playing music. We utilize Private mode for late-night television when our kids are sleeping. The HDMI 2.1 has made it possible for my husband to utilize 4k 120HZ when playing his favorite games. We absolutely love the level of elevation provided by the Samsung Q990D across the board. As far as technology goes, this soundbar is incredibly intuitive-- and compatible with our existing smart hub programs, Alexa, Google, etc.. The combination of Dolby Atmos advancements and Samsungs latest Q Symphony technology just can't be beat! Such an amazing system, will totally amplify television, movies, music and gaming-- feel like you are actually there!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Q990D is really impressive compared to a full 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos setup with a receiver. Pros: Volume output of soundbar and subwoofer. I had this at level 21 and it was plenty loud. No speaker wiring. Only power wiring to speakers and subwoofer along with HDMI to soundbar. Immersive Sound. Easy setup with WiFi. Space Fit Sound Pro which basically calibrates the speakers with a mic like a receiver would, so you know you're getting the most out of your speakers. 7-Band Equalizer when not in Q-Symphony mode. SmartThings App to adjust settings without the soundbar remote and small display on soundbar. HDMI 2.1 passthrough for the gamers out there who want to get the high bandwith, resolution, and refresh rates out of their TVs. Cons: I could tell where the subwoofer was located in the room. Could also just be difference between the locations and floor types. Q-Symphony greys out the Equalizer and won't allow adjustments besides tone adjustments to Bass and Treble. Overall: For the price point, this is a great alternative to get an immersive sound without paying a premium for a true Dolby Atmos setup and hassle of paying a professional to wire the speakers. Sometimes with my true setup, I have a hard time hearing the dialogue. That's probably due to the center channel not being at the right elevation due to the entertainment center I have downstairs. However, with this soundbar that would definitely not be an issue especially with the Adaptive Sound and Active Voice Analyzer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an excellent home theater system! The subwoofer and surround speakers are strong and make for a fun and immersive experience whether you're watching sports or a movie. Pairing the system with my Samsung TV was nearly automatic, and you can control the system directly from your TV.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always considered myself to be an audiophile. I have an amazing setup for my vinyl records, but I have never been able to get sound that I was happy with from my TV. That changed when I got the Q990D! My previous sound bar was the Q990A and that was a good bar, but it had its annoyances. I am happy to say all of those have been fixed and I am extremely satisfied with the Q990D. The build quality is exceptional. It has a metal mesh screen around the top and sides to cover the speakers with a small display on the front that is hidden and only shows up when you change the volume or input or sound mode. Hooking it up is very easy. I used 1 HDMI cable from my TV’s eARC out to the sound bar. The sound bar also has 2 other HDMI ports with 4k passthrough so you can use those to hook up gaming machines or blu-ray players and things like that. To set up the subwoofer and rear speakers, all I had to do was plug them in and they automatically connected. I fired up movies that I knew had good Atmos action scenes in them and I was blown away. It had a rich and full sound. The bass, mids, and highs were all represented perfectly and clearly. The sound filled the room and you felt like you were in the middle of the action! The companion app allowed me to tweak things further with adjustments for each of the channels as well as a full 7 band EQ. Within minutes, I had my sound perfectly dialed in! Next, I tried a little music. Normally I would never listen to music through my sound bar because it sounds horrible. I loaded up some Hi-Res music files and I was shocked because they sounded really good. Not as good as my dedicated music stereo system, but I was very surprised that the music was very listenable. I also played spatial audio tracks through it and they also sounded amazing and were very immersive. I wish in the app you could have a few different custom EQ’s saved so I could have one set up for music and one for TV and movies. Its a pain having to go in and change EQ settings when I switch from TV to music. Other than that, I am very satisfied with the sound It seems that Samsung has really been listening to its customers through the evolution of the QD sound bar line and have made lots of positive changes. It has now morphed into what I think is probably one of the best sound bars money can buy. If you are looking for the best of the best, this is it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded my home audio setup with a new soundbar and subwoofer, and the difference has been nothing short of transformative. The soundbar delivers crystal-clear dialogue and immersive soundscapes that elevate movie nights and music sessions to a whole new level. The subwoofer complements it perfectly, providing deep, punchy bass that adds a thrilling dimension to every audio experience. Together, they create a rich and dynamic sound profile that fills the room with incredible depth and clarity. Whether I’m watching action-packed movies or listening to my favorite tunes, the audio performance is consistently impressive. This setup has truly enhanced my entertainment experience, and I couldn't be happier with the upgrade. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their home Audio System.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm always amazed at Samsung's ability to pack such a theater like experience in a single box. The HW-Q990D is no exception. I unboxed this soundbar and connected it to my Samsung QD-OLED TV expecting a traditional soundbar experience. I was not prepared for just how well Samsung managed to execute Dolby Atmos with this soundbar. The rear satellites feature a front firing, side firing and up firing speaker, which is enveloping as it is, but the speaker array on the soundbar itself makes it feel like there are sounds coming from virtually every angle of my room. My Samsung TV is actually Q-Symphony equipped as well, so it allows me to use the TV speakers with the soundbar for additional front channels. The subwoofer is loud, punchy, and deep. You can tell by the weight and heft of it that it will deliver that punch, and it does. This is hands down the best sounding soundbar I have ever used, and the setup and convenience make it the best audio system I've ever owned overall.

While I an not an audiophile, I do love to hear a full range of sound when watching a movie or game on TV. I have only had some Vizio sound bars that were on the higher end and they were OK, but not 'immersive' as I would have liked and volume was limited and didn't fill the living room. So this is where the Q990 comes in. After hours of watching YouTube and reading forums, I pulled the trigger and the system arrived faster than expected. There was nowhere locally that I could go and listen/see the system so I took a chance here. First I can say, it blows anything I have ever had out of the water. Volume, depth, and range were off the charts. My issue is that its a large system. Almost twice the depth of the Vizio I was using and quite a bit heavier. As a result, it doesn't fit my room/TV configuration. As much as I guesstimated the size and fit, I was taken back once it arrived. I have tried to work different ways of mounting to fit under my TV, but over my mantle and nothing worked. So I am going to have to return it and maybe try once of their smaller systems like the HW-Q850D. If you have the space, this is a no questions asked system that you will be more than happy with.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Over the past generations of Q series soundbars, Samsung has listened to consumers and upgraded its units to come closer to a perfect soundbar. From the first generation, it was a complete package for any challenge, whether it was music streaming, watching a Dolby Atmos movie, or streaming a console game; they’ve got you covered with the best experience. Samsung was the first soundbar company to have separate Atmos-enabled surround speakers with the HW series. The connectivity issue was resolved three generations ago, and with the 990D, you have a unit capable of tailoring the sound based on your room’s settings. With 11.1.4 channels, you can count on the quality of Atmos and DTS:X tracks to be near perfect. With the D, your pass-through is upgraded to 4K 120Hz, which is great for those who have consoles and compatible TVs. The sound quality is at a stage where it is hard to expect any upgrades. The only thing they could upgrade next is to have the ability to add a second subwoofer, although the bass of this device is more than enough. At this price point, there is no competition considering the quality and features of this soundbar, so I would recommend it to anyone who loves to have a whole theater in their home hall.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok not that I have a hearing issue but I just started to feel I wasn't hearing the voices on the TV as clear as I should. Everything just seemed muffled under the noise of the whole show. It was like deep in the background. Then I had friends over and they mentioned it during a movie. Well, this new sound system has fixed all that and MORE! I don't know how, but voice conversations are clearer than ever and everything is so crisp! This was by far the best replacement Surround sound system I've bought yet. It has made watching television so much more of a pleasure. I'm completely enveloped, It's truly amazing. It feels like you're at the movies. Watching my streaming shows on my weekends.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound effect comes from the sound bar plus the rear speakers make the experience while watching movies or even listening to music amazing. The elegant design blend and with furniture so well by itself it's piece of art. My next step is to buy the frame and the music frame.
