Samsung Q990C Soundbar Review

Samsung’s Q990C delivers a true 11.1.4-channel Dolby Atmos experience from four components: the main soundbar, a powerful wireless subwoofer, and two wireless rear speakers. The result is a bubble of sound that rivals much more expensive AV receiver setups. Dialogue is crisp and clear even during action scenes, and the subwoofer delivers room-shaking bass without distortion.

Q-Symphony technology synchronises with compatible Samsung TVs to use both the TV speakers and soundbar simultaneously. The SmartThings app enables custom EQ settings, and built-in Alexa provides voice control. HDMI eARC ensures lossless audio passthrough from your TV.

At $1,400, it’s pricey, but it frequently drops to $999 during sales. For that price, you’re getting a complete surround system that outperforms similarly priced Sony and Sonos setups. If you want cinematic sound without running speaker wire, the Q990C is the one to beat.
