I'm amazed by the reviews from ordinary people, and the positive comments about the HW-Q990D. I have the JBL 3.1 450W it has brought me so much joy and pleasure 🎉 My neighbours weren't that happy when i have the Bar on full volume 😂 Like i said I would go for the 1300 JBL with their spectacular subwoofer 👌🏻 I'm still in doubt what to buy, and this video isn't very helpful 😂😂😂

    Samsung tv paired with a Samsung sound bar gives you the advantage of Q-synphony. Which means it uses the speakers of your tv and soundbar simultaneously to add to the sound and make it more immersive and enveloping. I’d say it makes a difference. If you can, get the Q990c it’s cheaper and seems like there’s not many differences compared to the 2024 model😊

    I got the Samsung HW-Q990C soundbar, I didn't even know that there was a newer one for 2024. So I had to checkout your video, to see what's the difference between the HW-Q990C to the HW-Q990D. I saw some difference in the addon's to the soundbar in SmartThings, which is interesting for the rear speakers. I just think that there wasn't much of a difference between them, except for the HDMI's switched as the HDMI Arc is higher than last years model.

    The main advantage to the Sonos system is you can mix and match the subwoofer or surround speakers to other rooms. The Q990C/D speakers are only to be used with the system. The Q990C can also be purchased for under $1k and that's about half of what Sonos Arc, subwoofer, and surrounds would cost.
