Samsung HW-Q990D

I have been using the old flagship model from 2018, before the Q series. [...] I'm glad that it was pretty future proof because today it still sounds great with movies or gaming. Sadly after 8 years it's starting to have some signal or communication issues where either the back speakers or the sub will disconnect for moments every so often. Upgraded the TV last year and finally upgraded the sound bar to the 990F. [...]

This is my plan for beginning of new year (42" model), mixed games & desktop usage (I know oled ain't best for windows work but non-oled gaming monitors are rather crap ie due to non ideal local dimming, ghosting, mediocre colors compared to oled and so on). [...] Its really sad state of things that the best course of action now for new hardware is to simply use it as it is, never update or plug online since for any chance of any minor issue being fixed there is 100x the risk it will go to shit in substantial ways (I have Samsung q990d - they soundbar literally dying for good after an official update, but that one you had to at least push yourself from phone or via usb). [...]

[...] Way too many functionalities crammed into 1 device just to justify much higher price. [...] pester you with notifications and updates? [...] Best value for money. [...] Same as recently discussed here Samsung HW-Q990D surround soundbar update bricking the devices for some. Why the heck would I ever want to update surround speakers which work perfectly fine now? [...] They never add anything important with such updates, and the general risk is not worth doing it. [...]

I bought recently Samsung HW-Q990D, generally better rated than similarly priced Sonos. Had a bit of mental resistance with the Samsung+audio pair, I am more a Sennheiser type of person. Sound is fine, not hifi just a notch below, but good hifi surround is a 10k thingie. [...] No issues with connectivity, connect via eArc with TV without issues and starts with it, bluetooth with both Samsung and Apple OK too. [...] One detail I love - extra bass control on remote, so I can move it down easily during late night watching (low frequencies travel better through walls). [...]

I bought this soundbar a couple of days ago. [...] I'll be saving for a Samsung Q-Oled tv next, still a bit pricy at the moment though. [...] Superb sound and works great with games as well. [...]

[...] I bought a q990d a month back after watching a lot of reviews on YouTube. [...] The sheer sound quality and surround of the soundbar with the sub and two rear is just mind blowing! [...] I bought it along with an 85’’ Samsung neo qled qn85d. Q symphony is great but i might add I’m not sure if the tv speakers produce enough output to make a difference but it’s just a complete package and sounds great. [...] I’ve used all HDMI 2.1 cables behind my tv unit to make it clean without any wires poking out and mounted my soundbar below the TV. [...] Might sound like a couch potato but that I am. [...] Cheers to the q990d 🔥

I bought the SAMSUNG Q990D recently and I think the Base is Good! The CREATIVE CARRIER also has loud Base and this was my comparison so the SAMSUNG Q990D is good enought! [...] The SAMSUSNG Q990D overall Sounds much better than CREATIVE. I also bought an LG Soundbar - The LG S80QR and returned immediately. The SAMSUNG Q990D with an LG 55 Inch OLED55C44LA Sounds like the CINEMA! If you have enough space then buy the LG 65 Inch OLED65C44LA.

I've own the product known as the Samsung HW-Q990D for about 2 months - The Entire package is merely $1500 - If you research various options, you'll happen to discover that Samsung as delivered a best bang for the bag for the buck package. Granted there's allot of options on the market which would blow the Samsung HW-Q990D out of the water as it relates to delivering bass and amazing sound. But not at a mere $1500.00 - Samsung outshines the majority of the market within a $2500 or less price point. The average individual isn't going rip out walls and engage in a major project plan to redevelop their basement or sound room. This is a take it out of the box and 30 minutes later you're enjoying truly amazing sound quality. [...]

[...] Plus SAMSUNG Q990D vs Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2 eARC. [...] I've already bought the Q990D and now thinking of buying the Nakamichi Shockwafe Ultra 9.2 eARC. [...] I did previously have the CREATIVE SXFI CARRIER which Sounds Good and replaced with the Q990D.

Currently the price of the Q990F and Q990D seem about the same. [...] a metal grill on the Q990D. My first thought is that plastic is a cheaper material that could degrade or rattle over time. [...] Which would you buy if the price were the same or within $100 of each other?

Love the Q990D I got for $800 about 6 months ago. The new sub will be much worse for my space while smaller it is wider and all sounds comes from the sides which makes it being bad for my bedroom corner. I personally have zero rattle with my Q990D sub. Happy I got the D before this worse imo revision.

I have the Q990D and I'm very satisfied it definitely sounds amazing.

[...] But the thing is, I just bought Q990D on Feb 22 and I got into this situation on Mar 8. The soundbar stuck into the mode that I was using and it becomes unresponsive.

[...] The Q990D just dropped to $898 today at Best Buy. It was $999.99 yesterday when I bought it. Great prices for the product

I bought the Q990F for my parents, what a piece of junk! The right speaker doesn't connect! [...]

The bass was already the weak point of the q990d. I had to add an SVS 12" subwoofer to it.

Sorry, I bought Samsung HW-Q990D before watching this and now I don't need to watch because I love my new soundbar.

I have the older Q930c and the bass is really solid. I'm having to turn the sub down. I'm surprised the Q990d newer design is lacking.
