Great All Rounder
So far after 5 months I adore the Q990C and has completely changed my perception of soundbars and what they can do. Decided to give my home theater system a streamlined update after my old plasma TV died (replaced with a Samsung OLED S95C) and wanted a neat setup. As an audiophile, I feel soundbars have come a long way and this one sounds almost as good, and in ways better, as my trusty 5.1 receiver and speakers (Yamaha receiver, Bowers and Wilkins speakers) this has replaced. I have a large open concept living room/kitchen area with vaulted ceilings, and I can confidently say, the Q990C can fill the entire space with immersive sound. It lacks some of the punch, richness, and full body sound that my old 5.1 system had, but improves on it with the surround sound bubble with Dolby Atmos and the latest DTS:X decoding, and a very sleek, clean design. Overall, the Q990C sounds great for movies, TV, and games and has a very clear and crisp sound. The dedicated, powerful center channel definitely helps this soundbar have excellent speech and dialogue performance when watching content, while the 3-way rear surrounds provide a strong (wireless and easily placed) true surround sound immersion. The main bar is crisp and punchy, this side of a Nakamichi Dragon, while maintaining a decently slim profile, though can sound a bit clinical and lacks some warmth. The only place where this system seems to really fall short is with the wireless subwoofer. For the power that the rest of the system puts out, the sub simply doesn’t seem to have enough power and oomph to keep up, making the whole system sound a bit lean for the space I have it in. Had they gone with 2 subs, or simply a larger single sub, this would dramatically improve the sound to my ears and make this a hesitation free recommendation. Music just sounds flat and uninspiring listening to this soundbar, so I will stick to my dedicated amp and 2.1 setup I have for listening to music, granted that I’m comparing a soundbar to a set of massive Bowers and Wilkins 802Ds and an ASW-2500 sub. But for someone looking for 1 simple system to do it all, the Q990C is hard to beat, especially given the price vs a component system (or a Dragon). Do I miss some qualities of my old custom setup? Sure I do, but the packaging of this soundbar, updated codecs, combined with the immersive Atmos sound, I’m do not regret switching. It’s simply a very clean and good sounding solution for anyone looking for full surround immersion in an easy to setup system with seamless connectivity (eARC & Q-Symphony), and overall impressive for its size sound footprint. A definite must buy for a one size fits all solution. Simply fantastic!

Samsung Q900C is simply Outstanding!
Purchased this soundbar to replace my older Yamaha. Loved the Yamaha but an upgrade was needed. We have a large LG OLED TV and Tivo DVR in a good sized room. We have a Sonos system in another room but decided against Sonos this time. After weeks of research i narrowed it down to Bose and Samsung. I decided to get the Bose Smart Ultra with the Base 700. Pricey, but reviews looked pretty good. Unfortunately the performance wasn't on par with the price (very overpriced IMO), and i could not get the sound controls to work with my Tivo remote (even after calls to both Tivo and Bose). Quite disappointing. I returned the Bose and decided to get the Samsung Q900C. I didn’t really think the two surround speakers were that good or needed so i decided against the Q990C. To say that it is impressive is a huge understatement. Incredible soundbar and sub. Sound is excellent - regular TV, movies, sports, music are all crystal clear and the sound has great depth. I can hear voices in our shows so much better. Setup was very easy and quick (eARC). Remote works great, and the App is pretty good for adjusting everything. Couldn't be happier with the Samsung Q900C. Be aware that the bar is a little longer and taller than other bars. Needed room for all that goodness. If you are trying to decide between the Bose and Samsung, the choice is easy.

Sound bar has been great so far.
I have used this sound bar for a week now and it seems like a winner to me. I ordered it used/renewed/refurbished (Which, I don't remember) and it looks great out of the box. No issues setting up all important stuff was included as far as I'm aware.I have had issues out of the app but its not too important to me at this point. I dont have a samsung TV so I cant try out Q-Symphony or what ever its called. I really dislike proprietary things because of things like this. But what ever, atmos still works. Only issue with that is I have not found much streaming content out there except for Netflix that puts the bar into Atmos mode. There is allot of content on Netflix that says Atmos but not allot that I want to watch at this point. So ill have to get back to you when I get a good amount of that content watched.I subtracted 1 star from sound quality because I watch allot of music video content on youtube and my old 2.1 channel bose system was a little better for this. I could put the sound bar into standard mode but then it sounds a bit lifeless even with EQ. So that is my only minor issue with the sound so far.I do wish the LCD screen was a little bigger. Its hard to read as only 3 characters fit on the screen at a time and the text scrolls slow so you have to store the characters in memory and wait for the next 3 to show up and append it then put them together in your head to figure out what it says. So things are abbreviated and confusing to remember. The app is a better choice if it works as mentioned above.Over all Im happy with my purchase especially at nearly half the price of a new unit!

Excellent home theatre unit, Wifi works very well - not audiophile gear!
We bought this system for a second home and paired it with a very large Samsung TV. The integration between the two was easy and excellent. The built-in Samsung "smart tv" software is fine, but not great. The sound for theatre usage is excellent: loud and clear, with the sub-woofer doing its thing as expected. It's really for theatre usage. It works great with Spotify and other audio sources, but it's NOT audiophile gear. For music, it's overly bright and the soundbar drivers don't really offer much airiness on vocals, acoustic strings and the like. That being said, it's a great theatre system, easily installed and an excellent value.

Unbelievable sound...
Shoutout to Top Choice Electronics, the vendor, legit!I'm coming from a 2.1 Samsung bar with woofer that I thought sounded ok - miles ahead of TV speakers. And I had no idea I could get this kind of sound out of a soundbar setup.... it's theater qualityTo get the full experience, you do need to make sure everything is connected properly. My TV doesn't have eARC for example, so I can't connect to the TV if I want Atmos. I have a PC connected with a RTX3060. HDMI from GPU to the bar, then bar to the HDMI ARC port (though at this point I don't think that bit matters). Downloaded the Dolby app for Windows, it detected my setup. Ran a few tests from the app and it's working as it should out of the box. The speakers all auto connected, so I didn't have to fiddle around with that which was nice. Downloaded Samsung SmartThings app and everything was controlled from my phone virtually instantly.I've played some 7.1 Atmos files and it's working incredibly well. Netflix and Amazon Prime app are working in surround sound off the PC. So do other apps. YouTube and Spotify however are not, though YouTube should (?)... Still working on that one. But overall a huge win for Samsung!Last note and I knew this coming into it, my ceiling is vaulted and sloped, so I'm not getting the best Atmos experience at this time. But still worth every penny! A flat ceiling is recommended for the Atmos firing speakers to bounce the sound off the ceiling and in your direction.People saying the bass isn't thumpy enough, I'm honestly not sure what they're trying to get out of a movie. The overall crispness of the sound is complemented perfectly by the bass in my opinion.At 30% volume, it's loud! I turned it up to 80% and I was yelling at someone 4ft away from me - and the sound at 80% was just as crisp as 10%.

Sound is awesome
I bought this to pair with my Samsung TV for the Q Symphony technology. This thing is heavy. It feels like a solid piece of equipment. My TV speakers were great, I didn’t need this but I said what the heck, why not. Glad I did. There is something about bass that is just a game changer. It works great with my PS5 and Xbox. Putting this together is simple. You literally plug it all in and the second I turned on my tv, I didn’t even have touch a thing it just all connected and started pumping out the sound. Very happy with the purchase

Perfect for a smaller Room
We have this in the Bedroom - 2020 Samsung Q90 Series 65 inch with Q-Symphony. The HW-Q990C has more than enough power for a decent size room. My main system are Axiom Audio M80 Large Towers with 2 6.5 inch High Output Woofers and 4 inch IIRC mids, and dual 1 inch IIRC Tweeters that can handle a 1000wRMS Monobloc Amp @ 4 Ohms. Along with a VP180 middle speaker that is basically a L/R with differently placed drivers going from big to small from the outer edge to the tweeters in the middle (it also handle the same power.) the rears are QS10 along with SVS Subwoofers. Can it keep up in output level? No? But it also cost less than 1 Speaker. I would highly recommend the Samsung HW-Q990C if you own a newer (2020+) TV in a smaller room, especially if it is a secondary system.

Excellente Barre de Son
Le fait d’avoir des speaker mobiles donne un effet « surround sound » vraiment interessant.La barre de son est puissante. Assez pour déranger les voisins 😅
