Impressive Sound and Easy Setup
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung HW-Q990F has been a great addition to my home audio setup. This 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar fills my large living room with clear, immersive sound. Setting it up was straightforward—I had the main bar, wireless subwoofer, and rear speakers connected in about 30 minutes, thanks to the simple instructions and wireless design. For newcomers, I’d suggest trying the SpaceFit Pro calibration feature early on. It adjusts the sound to match your room’s acoustics automatically, which saves some guesswork. Tweaking the sound levels was easy with the remote; I set the bass to 5 and treble to 6 to fit my space, getting a nice balance of depth and clarity. The dual-driver subwoofer adds a solid low-end, and the 4K/120Hz HDMI support works well for gaming. It’s been a reliable, enjoyable system so far, and I’ve appreciated how it enhances everything from movies to music in my home.

Immersive Sound Experience
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Q Series HW-Q990F Soundbar is a powerhouse when it comes to home entertainment. Designed for everyone and will even impress the audiophiles, this soundbar delivers true 11.1.4 channel full surround sound, making every movie, show, or game feel incredibly immersive.
Build Quality & Design
Right out of the box, the build quality is impressive. The system feels premium and well-built, with a substantial, high-end finish. The subwoofer, though smaller than previous versions, features a sealed enclosure, resulting in more defined and impactful bass without excessive boominess.
Sound Performance & Features
Once set up with my 65” Samsung OLED, the HW-Q990F delivered crystal-clear, dynamic audio. I have mine set on Adaptive Sound with bass and treble maxed, and the clarity is outstanding. Voices come through cleanly, thanks to the Active Voice Amplifier (AVA) Pro, while the Q-Symphony integration ensures seamless sound on my Samsung TV.
The wireless Dolby Atmos feature provides a fully immersive experience, especially when watching action-packed movies or playing games. After tweaking settings—maxing out the subwoofer level and adjusting my rear speakers positioned behind my couch—I found that the soundstage became even more engaging, especially with bass enhancement enabled.
Gaming & Streaming Experience
With Game Mode Pro, gaming feels ultra-responsive, adding depth and detail to every in-game sound effect. Watching FIOS and streaming services also sounds fantastic, delivering rich, full audio that enhances both dialogue and background effects.
Final Verdict
The Samsung Q Series HW-Q990F is a top-tier soundbar that delivers on its promise of immersive, multidimensional sound. Whether for movies, music, or gaming, this system transforms your home entertainment setup. With deep bass, crystal-clear dialogue, and rich surround sound, it's worth every penny for those seeking a cinematic experience at home.

Impressive
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setup was pretty easy. The wires for the speakers are all the same, so you don't have to figure out which ones go to the soundbar, which ones to the speakers, or the sub, and so on. Surround sound speakers and the subwoofer picked up without having to be paired. Samsung even included brackets for the soundbar to be installed under the TV. The
Once I turned it on and heard the Disney startup, goodness gracious, I was very impressed. Bass kicked in nicely, even though it is small, it packs a nice punch. The subwoofer has dual drivers, so the bass low is pretty impressive for such a small sub. The surround sound is just a pleasure to hear. You are taken right into a movie. The dialog is fantastic. It's crystal clear without having to turn up the volume to hear what is being said. I really like the wireless speakers, I didn't have to run wires all over, although I was a bit skeptical. While watching movies, the speakers did not drop out at all. Superb sound coming from all around. I have yet to dial in the sub and speaker levels which will make an even more impressive feel.
One problem I did have was connecting to the SmartThings app. I have a unifi network and spent hours trying to connect. I eventually figured it out by changing WPA3 to WPA2 and disabling PMF. Once I did that, the soundbar connected with no issues.

Movie Theater Magic at Home!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I set up the brand new Samsung Q-series HW-Q990F in our living room and instantly felt the difference in our movie nights. The soundbar with its wireless speakers and newly redesigned subwoofer fills the room with clear, deep sound, and wireless Dolby Atmos brings movie theater magic right at home without any messy cables. It’s surprisingly easy to control with Alexa and the SmartThings mobile app, plus AirPlay and Google Cast makes it super simple to stream music to the speakers as well. Now, every movie night feels extra special and brings the whole family closer together!

Samsung soundbars never disappoint
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to get my hands on the Samsung HW-Q990F. Let my preface my review - This is my 3rd Samsung soundbar upgrade in their high-end line. First I had the Q950A, then the Q990C, and now the Q990F. The Q990F will be placed in a finished open basement on the left half, where the right wall doesn't keep the sound enclosed in the half basement listening area.
Want to talk about being an easy setup. I plugged the soundbar in, then the rears, then the sub, and they instantaneously linked together. The blue lights on the sub and rears became solid blue right when I plugged them in. I added the Q990F to SmartThings and was immediately controlling the soundbar. I turned the system on and it was working perfectly.
One main point is the size/configuration of the subwoofer. It is much smaller than previous subwoofers, but it's heavy and built solid as a rock. It has a woofer on either side instead of a single one. I used to think bigger was better with the size of a sub, but I was mistaken. I watched a few scenes from several movies known for solid Atmos, and the bass was quiote impressive. It's tight, and I could feel the bass. I quickly tuned in SmartThings the various levels of all speakers to compensate for the room, and it sounded awesome. The surround surprisingly filled the room. I was surrounded by crisp and clear sound, coupled with the punchy bass.
The Q990F rivals any mid-level amp/speaker setup costing more, and is much quicker to setup and much more compact. I cannot stress how great an alternative to a typical audio system that could cost more than this soundbar alone. I highly recommend the Samsung HW-Q990F!!

Loving my 2025 Samsung HW-Q990F Soundbar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work 10 to 12 hours per day, 6 days per week on an 8K Samsung QN800B TV (you can see it on my desk in the photo). Wanting to add an equally-incredible audio experience, I picked up the 2025 HW-Q990F Soundbar.
From the moment it arrived, I was impressed. The packaging was secure, and unboxing each piece — the main soundbar, wireless surround speakers, and subwoofer — I could immediately tell the build quality was top-notch. Each component feels premium, with a solid weight that hints at the powerful magnets and quality parts inside. The sleek, black design looks great with my setup, and the remote control mirrors the TV’s remote in both style and ease of use.
Setup was a breeze. I connected the soundbar to my TV using the HDMI eARC port, plugged everything in, and hit the pairing button on each wireless component. After one quick power cycle, everything synced up perfectly. My Samsung TV instantly recognized the soundbar, and I was able to activate the Q-Symphony feature in the sound settings. This feature combines the TV’s built-in speakers with the full surround sound system for a dramatically wider sound stage — and it works flawlessly. There’s absolutely no lag or audio delay. Everything is perfectly in sync. The subwoofer delivers deep, rumbling bass with zero muddiness.
For the past week I've been listening to high-bit-rate music, watching live basketball games, streaming my favorite shows, gaming on current-gen consoles, and revisiting beloved movies. The wireless rear surround speakers combined with Dolby Atmos soundtracks bring a whole new dimension to the experience. Hearing sound move across the room — even above and behind you — is nothing short of incredible. My spouse and child have also been blown away when I've demoed the setup to them. I've even continued to get most of my work done during this time ;)
Lastly, the built-in smart assistant integration (she who will not be named) is icing on the cake.
If you're looking for an immersive, top-tier surround sound system — and especially if you own a Q-Symphony compatible Samsung TV — I can’t recommend the HW-Q990F enough. This is a solid A+, two thumbs up, 100% win from Samsung. Great job once again!

Plug and Play Powerhouse Surround System
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you, like me, are big into dolby atmos or surround sound music, video games, and movies, this is not only one of the easiest and most reliable systems to install, it also has a better sound right out of the box than several more expensive systems after significant manual tuning. The setup process takes very little time, plug in power to each speaker and HDMI to the tv or other source and you can get started right away. The Samsung SmartThings app is also easy to setup and gives quick access to SpaceFit Sound Pro and the Sound Modes that really level up the listening experience, as well as options to make voices stick out in the surround mix more which is essential for many new movies and TV shows where voices are lower volume. I owned a previous model of the q990 series and this is a substantial improvement. The smaller subwoofer performs better than previous models, producing crisp controlled, yet booming bass while fitting in much better into any setup (it's footprint is hardly bigger than the two surround speakers!). There are also some design upgrades that give some life to the main soundbar as a displayed speaker on an entertainment system, specifically the coloring and texture on the top grill is beautiful and gives a distinguished look to the main soundbar. Compatible with Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.1, AirPlay, and Alexa built in, this soundbar is fantastic for not only movies and games but also music. I particularly am impressed by the surround system's performance on Spatial Audio tracks through music streaming but the adaptive mode with stereo mastered tracks also does an incredible job at separating instruments and parts cohseively and creates a pleasing surround sound experience with any audio source. My main takeaways from this product are the fantastic sound and the ease of setup. It's a surround sound system that I would feel equally ready to recommend to my parents or my tech/music enthusiast friends as a setup for their home theater spaces.

A True Cinematic Powerhouse
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used a lot of sound systems over the years, but the Samsung HW-Q990F takes home theater audio to a whole new level. Paired with my UST projector and a ALR screen, this soundbar delivers a legitimately immersive Dolby Atmos experience, and it's all done without the clutter of a traditional wired setup.
The 11.1.4 channel configuration is no marketing gimmick. You can feel the height effects and hear discrete audio from all directions. The wireless rear speakers and subwoofer are powerful, responsive, and sync beautifully without noticeable lag or dropouts. Bass is deep but tight, and dialogue is crystal clear, even in action-heavy scenes.
Setup was seamless. Samsung’s Q-Symphony feature and the HDMI eARC connection make integration with my other Samsung gear effortless. Whether I’m watching movies, gaming, or streaming music, the sound fills the room with cinematic richness and punch.
It’s rare to find this kind of power and convenience wrapped into such a sleek and clean form factor. No AV receiver, no cable chaos, just top-tier audio that lives up to the hype.
Highly recommend for anyone serious about home entertainment but unwilling to sacrifice aesthetics. This system delivers.

Rich, Crisp and Gorgeously Engineered Home Audio
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung HW-Q990F Home Audio system is a true game-changer when it comes to your personal home entertainment. The sound that it delivers is nothing short of incredible. The 11-channel speaker arrangement guarantees you'll hear the softest, subtle sounds as well as literally feel the powerful ones. Equally impressive is the dual-bass setup that the 2025 HW-Q990F includes as a notable upgrade. This thing is capable of producing jaw-dropping sounds that will genuinely stand up to actual theater-level experiences.
Beyond its carefully crafted engineering, the HW-Q990F is also packed with intelligent features that help you effortlessly get the most out of your space and any media you may be consuming. From voice-enhacing to auto-calculating your room's dimensions, this thing will sound amazing in any environment. This is an absolute must-have if you've invested in any higher end televisions or gaming systems. The HW-Q990F's ability to maximize the benefits of Dobly, Q-Symphony and Eclipsa will take all of your entertainment to the next level. I cannot stop raving about how pleased I am with this home audio system.

HW-Q990F: Effortless Setup and Immersive Sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After unboxing and setting up the Samsung HW-Q990F, my first impressions were overwhelmingly positive. The build quality is excellent, and while the soundbar is larger than my previous one, its size feels justifiable given that just the bar houses 15 speakers. Despite its impressive speaker count, it remains surprisingly compact.
What truly impressed me right off the bat was how effortless the setup was. It couldn't have been simpler—unbox the soundbar, surround speakers, and subwoofer, connect the power cables, and everything pairs automatically. I was bracing myself for the usual pairing hassle, where you need to hold down specific buttons or go through an elaborate process for each component. Thankfully, that was not the case at all; the setup was quick and seamless. To make things even more convenient, enabling SpaceFit Sound Pro automatically calibrates the system to your room, eliminating any need to manually adjust speaker placement or fiddle with calibration settings.
Having watched a couple of movies and enjoyed some March Madness games, I can confidently say the sound quality has been exceptional. Voices are clear, natural, and easy to understand, even during fast-paced action scenes. The soundstage is immersive. While the surround sound setting delivers a rich experience, I found myself preferring the adaptive sound mode. As I understand it, the adaptive sound feature uses Samsung's proprietary technology to upscale the 5.1 signal and make full use of the 11.1.4 channels, enhancing the surround effects. Even watching basketball feels more immersive, with stadium sounds dynamically coming through the surround channels.
The soundbar delivers exceptional sound quality, a user-friendly setup experience, and impressive future-proofing with features like Eclipsa Audio. Whether watching movies, sports, or enjoying music, this soundbar makes a compelling case for anyone looking to elevate their home entertainment experience.

Samsung HW-Q990F: Ultimate Home Theater Sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung HW-Q990F has completely transformed our home entertainment experience. From the moment we set it up, we noticed a huge improvement in sound quality. The new design with horizontal lines on top gives it a sleek, high-end look that blends perfectly with our setup. It feels like a premium addition to our living room.
One of the best things about this system is the surround sound. Even though we have vaulted ceilings, which aren’t ideal for home theater audio, the sound still fills the room. My wife and I were watching a show recently, and for the first time, we could actually hear the difference between Dolby Atmos and regular 5.1 sound. The depth, clarity, and movement of the audio made everything feel more immersive.
I also have a Samsung 85” Class QN90C Neo QLED 4K UHD Smart TV (2023), and the Q-Symphony feature is really impressive. The way the TV and soundbar work together creates a perfectly balanced and powerful sound experience. The Wi-Fi connectivity, which is only possible with a Samsung TV, is another great feature because it helps with cable management, making the setup much cleaner and more organized.
The subwoofer is surprisingly small but very powerful, making it easy to hide while still delivering deep, punchy bass. The whole system is incredibly powerful. We can only turn it up to about 20% in our condo without worrying about the neighbors. When my friends come over and I turn on the soundbar, it feels like I have a professional sound system installed. The volume and clarity make it feel like a concert in my living room, which always impresses everyone.
Overall, we’re extremely happy with the HW-Q990F. The sound quality is outstanding, the design is sleek, and the subwoofer is compact yet powerful. If you have a Samsung TV, this soundbar is a perfect match. If you’re looking for a true home theater experience, this soundbar is a fantastic choice.

Still the Undisputed King of Soundbars
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's pretty rare that the new model of any technology gets smaller and better at the same time. I was pretty skeptical when I heard the Q990F was decreasing the size of the subwoofer while also making upgrading it to a dual woofer but they did it.
The subwoofer is insanely compact and more powerful than any single unit sub I've encountered.
The support for Dolby True HD and DTS:HD make the most of your lossless 4K Blu-rays for the true home theater fanatics and the heights effects add an extra dimension on the streaming services that support it like Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, Paramount+ to name a few.
This soundbar sounds Eclipsa audio but as a brand new format, there isn't a lot of content to test it out with but nice to have a future proof soundbar, since this will show up on YouTube in the coming years
The main unit and the satellites are really sleek and create a wide sound stage with good surround effects.
The calibration and dialogue boost options really help complete the home theater experience as does the Q-Symphony feature if you have a Samsung TV to connect it to.
The power of the Q990F makes you think twice about going to the movie theater if you have nice enough neighbors to really let this baby rip.

Next-Level Home Theater Sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soundbar blew me away. Even with my LG OLED, the HW-Q990F delivers incredible surround sound — it actually feels like you're in the movie. The Dolby Atmos and rear speakers create a super immersive vibe, and the wireless sub packs a real punch. Dialogue stays sharp, even during intense scenes. Setup was smooth, and it works great even without Q-Symphony. If you want big theater sound at home, this is the one to get.

One of the Best Soundbars
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are looking for a quality soundbar and want to experience the best theatrical sound, check out the 2025 Samsung HW-Q990F model. It is Samsung's top of the line soundbar and is loaded with support for the latest audio codecs like dtsX and Dolby Atmos. The Q990F soundbar will also support Samsung's newly announced Eclipsa Audio format, developed with Google, though its real-world benefits remain to be tested. I played a few movies and demos and man the sound stage was absolutely stunning.
Samsung has improved a lot of things in this new soundbar: the subwoofer has been redesigned and is much smaller compared to the previous model, however don't let it fool you. It features dual 8-inch opposing drivers, which Samsung claims reduces vibration while delivering precise bass down to 32Hz with 300W of power.
The setup of the soundbar is easy and is done with the help of the SmartThings app, though it is optional. I would highly suggest utilizing the app as it opens a huge world of many options not available on the supplied remote. If you have a Samsung TV released within 3 years, you can also use the soundbar with addition of the speakers of the TV. Samsung calls it Q-Symphony. It simply creates a powerful sound and one has to experience it.
All in all, this is one of the best soundbars that produces powerful enveloping surround sound that will be a joy to experience for every movie or a soundtrack you throw at it.

The Best Just Got Better
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 6th Samsung Dolby Atmos soundbar. I have the flagship 990 model from the last 3 years. Every room in my house has a Samsung Dolby Atmos soundbar, because the sound for the form factor is truly unmatched. Usually year to year there is an incremental change at best, but this year is the exception. First off, the aesthetic has been completely reimagined. The soundbar has a gorgeous titanium grill pattern that provides a sleek and clean appearance. Secondly, the subwoofer has been redesigned. Instead of the traditional large rectangle, this year features a more compact cube with two 8" drivers instead of one. The result is deeper, richer bass that seems to have punchier mids as well. The HW-Q990F is also the first soundbar I know of to include Eclipsa audio decoding, which is an open standard version of 3D audio. This means that content creators will be able to record in an atmospheric surround format that includes height channels. Samsung is, once again, at the cutting edge of technology with this soundbar, and I anticipate will will see widespread adoption of Eclipsa audio in the future. The overall sound of the HW-Q990F is something you have to hear to believe. It is truly a theater experience from the comfort of your home.

Setting the Bar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung has released their latest flagship soundbar for 2025. I was able to test the new 11.1.4 soundbar for about a week to get some preliminary thoughts on the premium soundbar.
Samsung made a few changes on their flagship soundbar package this time around. Starting with going with the new titan black color over graphite black. The soundbar actually looks less premium in my opinion. The greyish color sticks out under my 2022 Samsung 65-inch tv. The system packs 23 total speakers, this is up from 22 with the new dual 8-inch speaker subwoofer.
Soundbar
The soundbar itself is slightly thicker and has ridges on the top. The overall design is similar to the other soundbars of old 990B-990D, but this version seems like Samsung wanted to go with “if it aint broke” approach.
Subwoofer
My biggest concern was the subwoofer’s design change. The subwoofer is now more compact and comes with dual 8-inch drivers. Samsung opted for the compact design over the taller box design with their past soundbars.
Wireless Rears
The wireless rears retain the same design language from past years. Front, side and upward facing speakers that produce a great all-around sound.
Features
The HW-Q990F has a jam-packed list of features. I would suggest pairing the soundbar with Samsung’s latest television to get the most out of the system. Wireless Dolby Atmos and Q-Symphony are back and better than ever. SpaceFit Pro handles calibrating the soundbar in your room. The system has 4k 120Hz passthrough for all the gamers as well.
Sound
The HW-Q990F performed really well with everything I threw at it. I wasn’t sure if the new compact design of the subwoofer would perform well with heavy bass laden tacks.
To some degree, the subwoofer sounded better than the HW-Q990D’s sub. The subwoofer provided some deep bass while watching movies with Dolby Atmos enabled tracks.
I can’t wait to test and hear more about the Eclipsa Audio support. I’m looking forward to this new open-source standard to test the new soundbar’s limits. Music sounds fantastic on the bar. I listened to different tracks across all genres of music for hours, and I was impressed with the sound delivery.
Conclusion
Samsung continues to set the bar with their premium soundbar. Feature packed with
all the latest bells and whistles. Since this is an early review, I’m sure to find many more gems and/or quirks to detail over the coming weeks. Well done Samsung for setting the bar and maintaining it.

Immersive Bliss
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setting up the HW-Q990F was a breeze using my SmartThings App. I hooked it up to my 75-inch QN900C, which allowed me to utilize Q-Symphony. This allows the soundbar to work together with the TV speakers. With the Active voice Amplifier, voices came thru crystal clear. This is now the only way to watch TV. Movies come to life with the sound coming from every direction. The compact 8-inch dual active sub-woofer packs a punch and delivers great bass. The HW-Q990F will make an excellent addition for your home entertainment system.

Big sound, compact size - the next Samsung
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried a soundbar about a year ago. It was nowhere near effective as my home theater system, so I got rid of that soundbar. Obviously, this time I was very doubtful. My doubts where immediately blown away by the sound quality of this low-profile system. I say low-profile because compared to my receiver, large subwoofer, 2 tower speakers and 2 rear speakers, this simple 4-piece unit (slender soundbar, a compact cube of a subwoofer, and two minimal sized rear speakers) takes up a fraction of the space.
Even better, everything was plug and play. I could not believe how easy it is to simply plug each unit into the wall, tap the button on the back, and my TV found the wireless speakers (WIRELESS SPEAKERS!). Yes, I felt the need to put that in caps. Wireless speakers with such a fantastic sound. No more running and hiding wires around my living room! I do not know if pairing would be so easy with another manufacturer’s TV, mine is Samsung.
After only one day of listening to this 7.1 Samsung soundbar with subwoofer and rear speakers. I decided to sell my bulky system and not look back. This system not only sounds better, but is so slim, I gaining a lot of space in my small living room. While increasing sound quality. A couple of times my wife had to check to see if the voices and sirens were coming from outside (she’ll get used to it).
To be sure, I am looking forward to getting this system mounted on my wall and regaining room space.

Amazing sound quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In my experience, the Samsung Q990F Soundbar has consistently impressed me with its performance. The audio feels much fuller and clearer compared to the built-in TV speakers, especially for dialogue-heavy content like TV shows and movies. I’ve also noticed how well the surround sound system works to create an immersive environment. It’s an enjoyable and convincing experience, particularly for its price point.
For music, the soundbar performs quite well. The bass is punchy but not overpowering, and the overall clarity makes it a joy to listen to a wide range of genres. Whether I'm watching a fast-paced action movie or a quiet drama, the soundbar adapts well, providing consistent performance.
Overall, the Samsung Soundbar Q660F delivers excellent sound quality with its adaptive sound technology and virtual surround sound capabilities. It’s perfect for those looking to enhance their TV’s audio without the hassle of a complex speaker system. The voice clarity, bass response, and immersive sound experience make it a solid choice for home entertainment. If you’re looking for a sleek, easy-to-use soundbar that packs a punch in sound, the Q990F is certainly worth considering.

This Is the one!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Meet the all-new HW-Q990F Samsung 11.1.4-channel full surround sound soundbar. This is a product that I absolutely love and has completely changed my at home theater experience. First, let me start by saying this soundbar has all the features I need: Wireless Dolby Atmos, Q-Symphony, SpaceFit Sound Pro, Smart integration, Active Voice Amplifier Pro. It has their new two-sided 8-inch bass module with Dynamic Bass Control. It has Game Mode Pro. That literally makes me feel the same as wearing headphones. While gaming simple things like someone coming behind me. I can hear them walking up as if it's really happening it's crazy cool. It has two HDMI inputs that have full 120Hz VRR and ALLM, so I can Connect my PC or gaming console and get their full capabilities, freeing up HDMI inputs on the back of my TV. The soundbar is gorgeous! It has a mesh grill front and a really streamlined look on top. I really like it; it's easy to clean, doesn't attract dust and lint, and should stand up to the test of time. What's really important here is that, from the moment I took it out of the box, it was extremely easy to set up. I love the fact that it can be controlled fully with Samsung SmartThings. I love Samsung SmartThings; I use it for my smart home, so controlling my soundbar with it is a no-brainer. You can adjust each individual speaker all 23 using the EQ adjustments, adjust your different surround sound modes, update the software; heck, you can even schedule a service appointment if you need help with any issues that might arise in the future, right from SmartThings. But most importantly, the Dolby Atmos sound I get when watching my favorite movies or shows from this soundbar is breathtaking. I swear it's like being in a movie theater; each individual sound coming at you from every direction is breathtaking, and this product has not let my family down. I find the private listening feature extremely useful at home when the kids are sleeping; essentially it tones down everything but still gives you the surround sound effect only from the rear speakers. What I appreciate is that it stays perfectly in sync with the TV's lip sync, of course. Also, for parties, I love that I can take the rear speakers to other rooms and sync the music with the soundbar to play throughout my whole home—a great feature, and we find it very useful. Overall, what can I say? This is the best soundbar I've heard. I highly recommend checking it out; it's definitely worth buying. It makes watching movies at home exciting, and we love it.

Mind Blown
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I highly recommend this Samsung Q-Series Soundbar! I am a huge music lover and even have additional 2-12 inch speakers in a box in my vehicle. This Samsung soundbar system is the closest comparison I've been looking for. The subwoofer delivers the bass that you can feel. I have the bass at its highest level and my whole house verbirates. Just the way I like it! But that might not be what everyone wants or likes. That's great. You have the availability to modify the sound to your own preference. The smart things app makes your preference easy and manageable. Set up is quick and easy. The only wires are the power cords to the soundbar, the two speakers, and subwoofer. The system does come with wall brackets for the soundbar, but not for the speakers. Not having brackets for the speakers is the only negative for the complete system, but I'm sure I can find ones that will work. The speakers do have a screw mounting capability on the back.

Samsung HW-Q990F - A 5-Star Soundbar
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung HW-Q990F is hands-down one of the best home theater soundbars available today. Samsung has taken everything great about its previous flagship models and refined it further, delivering a truly immersive 11.1.4-channel experience that brings movies, music, and gaming to life in a way few soundbars truly can.
From the moment you power it on, the HW-Q990F fills the room with breathtaking clarity and depth. The Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support ensure that sound moves around you in three-dimensional space, making action scenes, dialogue, and music sound more dynamic than ever. The redesigned dual 8-inch subwoofer adds tight, powerful bass that you can actually feel without it overpowering the mids and highs.
The rear speakers are truly wireless and do an excellent job of creating an expansive soundstage. Whether it’s a whisper in a quiet scene or a full-blown explosion, the Q990F delivers cinematic sound that rivals high-end home theater systems. I love that the main soundbar can be off and sound can only come out of the rear speakers for more quiet listening. Should you choose to they can also act as front speakers.
Samsung has kept a sleek and premium design, making it easy to integrate into any setup. The soundbar itself is well-built, and the new subwoofer design not only enhances performance but also blends better into a living space as it is smaller from previous years.
With Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, and HDMI eARC, connectivity is top-tier. The integration of Samsung’s Q-Symphony technology allows it to work seamlessly with my Samsung Q90B, making the entire soundscape even more immersive. Another standout feature is the Eclipsa Audio format, which Samsung developed with Google, promising even greater spatial audio realism.
The Samsung HW-Q990F is simply the best soundbar system for 2025, delivering room-filling, theater-quality sound with deep bass, crystal-clear dialogue, and unmatched immersion. If you want the ultimate home theater experience without dealing with a complicated AV receiver setup, this is THE soundbar to get. Five stars all the way!

Immersive 11.1.4-Channel Surround Sound
With up-firing, side-firing, and dedicated rear speakers, this system creates an expansive soundstage where every detail is precisely placed. Explosions rumble behind you, voices are crystal clear, and ambient effects move fluidly through the space, delivering theater-grade immersion.
Wireless Dolby Atmos and Q-Symphony
Samsung’s wireless Dolby Atmos eliminates the need for HDMI cables while maintaining pristine, object-based audio that moves freely above and around you. Q-Symphony enhances this further by synchronizing with compatible Samsung TVs, expanding the soundstage and adding depth and realism.
Dual-Subwoofer System for Powerful, Controlled Bass
Inspired by the HW-Q990D, Samsung has added a smaller, secondary subwoofer alongside the primary one. This setup delivers deep, punchy bass without overwhelming the mix, providing more placement flexibility without sacrificing impact.
AI-Optimized Sound and Game Mode Pro
Space Fit Sound Pro Plus automatically analyzes the room’s acoustics, fine-tuning audio for perfect balance. Active Voice Amplifier Pro ensures dialogue remains crisp by adjusting voices in real-time based on background noise. Game Mode Pro provides precise directional audio for competitive gaming.
Final Verdict
With industry-leading wireless technology, adaptive AI tuning, and a refined subwoofer system, the HW-Q990F delivers the most immersive home theater experience available in a soundbar. It’s an absolute must-have for audiophiles, gamers, and movie lovers who demand top-tier performance.
