[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have this sound bar pared with QLED TV and the sound is amazing! I've got a 40'x20' open concept living/kitchen area. I was worried the adaptive sound wouldn't work well with so much space. It does just fine, more than fine. I would recommend putting this sound bar in a more enclosed area for much better performance. But it flat out thumps when playing music. The rear speakers do such a good job of filling the space behind when watching a movie. Even my wife approves of the purchase and she was worried it was too expensive. There have been 0 complaints after plugging it in. It's products like this that keep me coming back again and again to Samsung. I'm just as happy with this sound bar as I am with my 3rd TV from them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Q-Series 11.1.4ch Wireless Dolby Atmos Soundbar (HW-Q990D) is nothing short of a game-changer for home entertainment. From its premium build quality to its immersive sound performance, this system delivers an incredible Dolby Atmos experience that transforms any living space into a high-end cinema. Build & Design – Premium Craftsmanship Right out of the box, it’s clear that Samsung has invested in top-tier materials. The soundbar itself is sleek and solid, with a modern design that blends seamlessly into any setup.

I’ve been astounded by this system’s incredible performance from the smallest speaker to the huge subwoofer. With the app, all the control for customization is in my hands. I actually replaced my basement media room ceiling tiles to prepare for this system. The two smaller rear multi-directional speakers are as essential as the 4-foot long soundbar. Without them, forget about multi-channel surround and spatial audio. The great thing is how no separate amplifier/receiver is needed to produce sparkling room filling sound design. I watched numerous YouTube videos and read countless reviews before ordering this system and dumping my Denon receiver and Klipsch 5.1 speakers. No regrets, just pure delight.

Overall, I am happy with my order. However, my only down point is that there should have been options provided by Samsung of qualitative good and well-fitting rear speaker floor stands since not everyone wants to mount it to their walls, and looking around for options ourselves. Also, the configuration over remote and one liner screen, not very user-friendly. Should be available through phone app or through Samsung TV api/app to manage and configure it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently upgraded to the Samsung Q990D soundbar, and the difference it made to my home audio setup is incredible. With its 11.1.4 channel configuration, this system delivers truly cinematic surround sound. The dedicated rear speakers with upward-firing drivers, along with the powerful subwoofer, create a fully immersive Dolby Atmos and DTS:X experience. Whether I'm watching movies, gaming, or listening to music, the sound is crisp, spacious, and dynamic. The Q-Symphony feature, when paired with a compatible Samsung TV, takes the audio to the next level by syncing the TV’s speakers with the soundbar. Setup was quick and intuitive — everything connected wirelessly with no hassle. I also appreciate the HDMI 2.1 passthrough which supports 4K/120Hz and VRR, making it perfect for my gaming setup. This soundbar isn’t just loud — it’s detailed, refined, and smart. It’s a premium system with a premium price, but you definitely get what you pay for. Highly recommended for anyone serious about home entertainment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The "Q Series 11.1.4 ch Wireless Dolby ATMOS Soundbar" has the potential to be a top-tier audio solution for home theater enthusiasts seeking a truly immersive and high-fidelity experience without the complexities of a traditional multi-speaker setup. Its comprehensive channel configuration, wireless capabilities, and potential smart features position it as a strong contender in the premium soundbar market.

I love the system and how flexible it is. The biggest issue I have with it is that when using Arc/eArc sound will randomly drop out for a short time and then come back in. I have tried all the recommended solutions but it still continues to drop out. I am now using the Bluetooth connection to avoid the drop outs. Not the best audio solution unfortunately.

Great...til it wasn't. Disney+, Hulu, Paramount & Peacock all worked along with Prime, Amazon and all of my other subscriptions. In December the first 4 apps stopped streaming only on this TV. The menus work, the trailers and functions work, but nothing will actually play. The apps work fine on the other TVs, tablets and smartphones in the house

After about a month of usage, I think I can comfortably say how middle of the road, mediocre, average this soundbar system is. I initially set this up with the surround speakers as fronts. At least that was my intention so I could create a set up better suited to playing music. According to the manual and the SmartThings app this should be possible. However, if you set the sound mode to standard and play a 2-channel source file, the repurposed surround speakers that are now fronts, are inactive. The manual states that the surround speakers will be inactive with a 2 channel input in standard mode but this should only be for the traditional setup with the surrounds set as rear surrounds. When they are used as front speakers the left and right channels should be duplicated with the left and right drivers in the soundbar. This defeats the whole purpose of positioning the surrounds as front speakers. Needless to say I ended up buying some speaker stands and re-positioning them as rear surrounds. This was an absolute headache and could have been avoided if Samsung was more honest with the feature set. Some other annoyances. Every time the soundbar is selected from the devices screen in the SmartThings app, it re downloads the entire interface, aka controller, which takes several seconds. Why is it not saved to the local device? The ability to adjust the channel levels kind of exists but unfortunately there is no left/right adjustment. The SmartThings app does not direct the user to swap the left and right speaker position as shown in the manual when setting them up as front speakers. This is a huge oversight within the app.
