Samsung - HW-Q60C (Q60C)

The Q6C was one of my absolute favorites from samsungs lineup last year, at that price its hard to beat the quality of that. unless your heart is set on getting rear speakers, then i’d probably say go with the vizio

the soundbar retails around $400 so you’re definitely getting a great price on it, and if you do end up wanting rear speakers for them the 9200s is the model number of them, they’re $150

It’s a pretty good soundbar. I have it in the master bedroom and added the rear speakers which improved it quite a bit. Plenty of thump. Can’t speak to its Atmos quality because I haven’t had opportunity to try it out yet.

Yep for $200 at Walmart a few weeks ago. The good thing is, If you don’t like it you can always return it. It has a pretty accurate review over on rtings - https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/reviews/samsung/hw-q60c-q6cc

Yes, but I'd wager that he wants a full body sound stage. Pick up an open box Q-600C/F or QS-730D, then test it out. You'll be very surprised. I personally have a Samsung Q-800D (5.1.2) with Samsung SWA-9500S rear speakers (2.0.2) combined with the TV speakers (Q-Symphony) for a total of a 7/9.2.4 channel surround sound system. Along with the 77" S90D streaming through an Apple TV 4K ethernet model, it's truly an immersive experience! You won't be disappointed if you decide to get one. Even go to Best Buy and listen to a demo model on display!

Definitely a Samsung Q600C (or D). Tried many before, even LGS75Q, and there's no challenge really. The soundbar alone is more than capable of delivering an awesome and immersive sound experience, plus you can buy a pair of satellites separately as rear speakers.

As a HT installer that’s installed just about everything, my favorite is the Samsung q60 which is now the q600. That guy sounds amazing with any brand TV. Bonus if you can utilize Q-symphony

Get the Sonos system. Samsung is terrible at support. Further you can buy the Sonos components from Costco. At least most of them. Return policy is quite generous as you probably know. Don’t be tempted by the Samsung pricing. It’s just not as good or reliable as the Sonos systems. He’ll even the JBL soundbar systems have better sound than the Q series.

The Samsung tv will help with center channel with the Q symphony I believe. Prob will not notice much if at all. Samsung as others had said is def a far better bang for your buck. I don’t consider myself an audio expect but I had what I thought was a nice lg 5.1.2 soundbar and the Samsung blows it away. Voice clarity is what shocked me the most. All ranges of sounds are more defined and crisp even when only steaming. 4k Blu-ray Discs up the level another few notches. There are a bunch of posts on this subreddit explaining how to save a bunch of money ordering some Samsung directly if you choose to go with that soundbar

I’ve had the sennheiser ambeo, Bose smart ultra, and the Samsung q800, in that order. First two were returned for connectivity issues with my newish Samsung tv. The q800 has been great (the ambeo probably had the best surround but only if it connected). Q symphony is amazing. With the first two bars, you could clearly tell the sound was coming from below the TV… q symphony fixes that completely. And the subwoofer is amazing.

Don't buy a soundbar just because it's the same brand as the TV, I tried Samsung's Q-symphony and it's ass. I also switched to a Sony TV while keeping the Samsung soundbar.

I found that Q-Symphony adds a nice touch of fill-in to the front soundstage. Not life changing, but definitely worth it.

Yes can, i know people with have the same situation and have All In One soundbar, which is not probably the best from Samsung, but working good. Samsung Q-Symphony on TV working in this perfect too. Sound can be around you, effect is amazing. Just add soundbar from TV about 1 metre distance and have to be cool effect with specific material of video. Humans which have this situation have smaller room than 12 squares metres. You probably will be need better soundbar as S class 60 models.

If you get a Samsung soundbar with Q Symphony that will add an extra dimension to your system that you won't get if you choose another brand

If you have a samsung tv or plan on getting one go with the samsung. Q Symphony is dope

FYI, I already had the Samsung soundbar when TV shopping. I thought it would be kool to have the Samsung TV to use with the Samsung soundbar- Q Symphony, but in the end it wasnt enough for me to not get the G4.
