i was an early adopter...HW-K950/ZA, love the sound bar but it did have its quirks. some crackling in the rear right channel and if I paused a movie for more than 10 minutes the sound bar would go to sleep. Fast forward to 2023, i picked up the Q990C and a new samsung TV w/ Qsymphony....I love it, even went back and watch movies over. Samsung knocked it out of the park with the soundbar.

This versus a home audio system that has in-ceiling speakers. I would give it a 7.5 to an 8 based on content. A full atmos system is definitely the way to go if you have the $$$$$. But this q990c is no slouch when it comes to atmos, but also not close to the pinnacle either

Great videos, just ordered mine. I’ve read that if you have a newer Samsung TV you don’t need to connect it with an HDMI cable. Have you tried it or do you prefer using an HDMI cable?

@TheRokaphella

8 ай бұрын

Thanks for tuning in. I could connect with Bluetooth, as like you said, the newer samsung tvs can connect using Bluetooth to the q990b and q990c. However, I prefer a solid hdmi connection, as a "set it and forget it". I have not tried the Bluetooth route yet. Please let me know how your experience goes, should you try it.

Bought it today for 950$ on sale here in norway, down from 1550$. Almost bought sennheiser ambeo Max, but cant justify the price difference. Ambeo Max is 2900$, sometimes on sale for 1950-2450$. Paying 1000-1500$ more for ambeo Max is just to much when samsung gives so much bang for the buck in the family living room. If i had a dedicated home theater/entertainment room and wanted a soundbar there, sennheiser would be more tempting. But most likely a full klipsch system will be placed in such room the day our basement i renovated.

I just got mine last week and love it so far! Maybe its just me but was playing a 4k remux file with 7.1 TrueHD audio and it seems like theres no sound coming out of the side and wide speakers on the bar and almost all of the audio appears to be coming from the center.

They are both great soundbars to me, but I like the Samsung better overall. The Samsung is slightly better built, and its more balanced default sound may be more suitable for most listeners. Plus, it gets louder with less compression at max volume. Its graphic EQ also gives you more control over its sound compared to the LG's bass and treble adjustments, as well.

I picked up a Q990B, new in box, locally from Offerup for $600 cash. I think you can get the Q990C now for 10% off the $839.99 price, if you talk to chat. For me, that would be around $805 after tax. Do you think the ~$200 is worth the difference between the two soundbars or should I just pocket the difference and move on? I paired that to a 65S95B ($1078 + tax from EPP) - total cost of around $1800 for the combo. I feel good about the purchase - but I never expected the Q990C to fall into the mid $700s pre-tax and now I'm kind of regretting my purchase.
