11.1.4ch Wireless Soundbar, with Dolby Atmos, Q- Symphony, Black, HW-Q990C - 2023 - International Version

I recently had the pleasure of diving into the world of cinematic audio with the Samsung Q800C Sound Bar, and I must say, it has exceeded all expectations. Boasting a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos setup, this sound bar delivers an audio experience that truly transports you into the heart of the action. First and foremost, the Dolby Atmos technology is a game-changer. It fills the room with multidimensional sound, creating a sense of depth and height that I've never experienced before in a home entertainment system.

The Q800C's sleek design not only complements any living space but also houses a powerhouse of audio technology. The upward-firing speakers effortlessly bounce sound off the ceiling, adding an extra dimension to movies, music, and games. Combined with the wireless subwoofer, the sound bar delivers rich, deep bass that adds weight and impact to every explosion and musical beat.

The result? Crystal-clear dialogue, immersive soundscapes, and an overall audio experience that rivals even the most high-end home theater setups.

Quality is perfect

I've been audio enthusiast for as long as I can remember, changing from a system to another. Went through most affordable types such as Yamaha, Onkyo, and my current was Denon with Taga set for the past 8yrs, and every one of those systems as advanced as they are needed some fiddling with depending on the content being watched every time. This little thing with a fraction of the price of those systems delivered far more than expectation. For a start, I'm using it connected to a Samsung Qled TV via ARC only. The audio level is surprisingly better than the systems with a crisp clear layers. Specifically impressed by the vocal clear sound from the center. It also became part of the TV smart system and most of the sound bar features are now within the TV screen controls. The connection to the wireless sub was seamless and it delivered a smooth bass. The best part was the listening modes, and if set to adaptive I get Dolby quality surround sound without having to fiddle with the settings be it a movie, a music track or a simple YouTube video. It is a real impressive piece of technology for such a compact and competitive price.

It obviously is not the top of the range for a sound bar. The surround in particular is really not existent. But the value for money is excellent. Very easy to connect and use with my Samsung TV set, and the quality of the sound is definitely an improvement compared to the TV loudspeakers. The subwoofer is a little undersized to deliver deep bass, but overall this sound bar does the job for little money. I recommend, but only to people who are not too demanding for this kind of product.

That soundbar's awesome, the bass is really clear, perfect for my big studio apartment. It's a steal for the price. Works perfectly with Samsung TV, and wall mounts are a nice touch. You probably won't need anything fancier for 90% of cases

I didn't even fully understand what 5.1.2ch meant before buying this product. Since I already had Samsung TV with HDMI eARC port, I thought buying a Samsung soundbar would be great, as it would mean more compatibility and also the ease of using just one remote control to control both TV and soundbar. Subwoofer connected with the soundbar automatically. All I had to do was plugin the HDMI 2.1 Cable at the eARC port of TV and the soundbar. I purchased a separate HDMI 2.1 cable of UGreen brand as I was not sure if HDMI cable was supplied with the soundbar and if it was supplied, if it would support eARC. The reason I am stressing the HDMI cable part is that if you want to use HDMI eARC (enhanced auto return channel) that would send amazing sound from TV (eg when using Netflix) to soundbar, you need to make sure the HDMI cable supports eARC. HDMI 2.1 cable apparently does. I found that there is in fact a nice looking HDMI cable supplied with the soundbar (and it probably does support eARC). I used that cable for connecting my another device to TV. Happy with this soundbar choice. Feels like you are in a club when you play music from Spotify.

This sound bar is truly the best budget friendly bar you should get. It elevates the experience of watching movies or listening to music. The sound output is great. Mids should be a little higher but that doesn’t compromise anything. Go for it.

ok product

Great sound and bass. Wish it went just a little bit louder but I could just add another speaker if I wanted to. Tested with some really bass heavy songs and it played with zero distortion. Also played a few movies and sounded great with Lord of the Rings and Top Gun Maverick. My only wish is that there was an LCD screen or something showing which settings you are using for sound mode and DJ effect. I accidentally hit the DJ effect that added white noise and when I played my first song it was full of static and sounded horrible. I was literally ready to box it up and send it back when I decided to try cycling through the sound modes and figured out what I did. Although the speaker lights up when you change modes there's still no way of knowing which mode you chose until you cycle back to the original settings... this is a huge fail. Gonna try the app tomorrow but I've already heard it is a crappy app and it has very low ratings on Google Play Store. Anyway, after listening to asome music, we tried to karaoke, and it worked really well. Impressive sound for music, movies, and karaoke. Nice that karaoke has settings for mic volume and echo. Altogether a terrific speaker, happy with my purchase, other than the lack of a LCD screen for mode info. Edit: there is ONE way to find out which mode you've enabled for DJ effect and equalizer, and that is to install the Sound Tower app. It's a really terrible app, looks like it was built 20 years ago (Samsung: DO BETTER!!!). But at least it's a way to figure out which settings are enabled.

I did not it's like anything sound is wonderful enjoy every minute of movies and music

I just purchased a new 8000 series Samsung TV. The sound wasn't quite up to par. This soundbar deal, which I purchased 'Like New', gave my media center new life. I connected it by optical cable which is not the best connection according to the instructions. However all 3 of my HDMI ports were full. No biggie. It paired flawlessly with my TV and Nvidia Shield along with Xbox. My previous soundbar was not a Samsung, and I had connection issues. I now want the rear speakers to wrap up my system. The sound is fantastic, I listened to some concerts on YouTube Premium and the soundbar and bass speaker performed Great! There are some customizable settings you can play with with the remote. The surround sound is awesome as well. Easily, all can be controlled with the Smart things App by Samsung. For the price I paid, this system hits the spot! Edit: 5/20/23 I purchased the rear speakers and it completes the package. I should have bought the system from the beginning and saved a few bucks. I got some speaker stands as well. All paired easily with the push of a button. Great Samsung products working in harmony! I just heard thunder from my left rear speaker and the realism is truly magnificent.

Easy to set up, good quality sound

Super ensemble home cinema. Son spatial / 3D au top (DTS, Dolby Atmos etc...), fin, riche et puissant à la fois. Basse monstrueuse, aigüe et médium aux top, très précises. Pas de décalage de son que ce soit en mode wifi ou en mode bluetooth, ni déconnexions/sauts. Branchement sans fil (juste alimentations) et installation simplissime, tous les éléments se connectent tout seul, et l'ensemble se connecte à la TV Samsung en 2 clics. Idem pour la connexion au smartphone (Samsung aussi). Fonction "Tap & touch" très pratique. Que du bonheur pour 500 euros. Je n'avais pas les "moyens" de mettre plus (et déjà prix élevé juste pour du son dans l'absolu) et les promos d'Amazon + celle de Samsung m'ont permi de sauter le pas. Merci à eux. Pour mon premier ensemble complet, je suis aux anges :love
