HW-Q60CF 3.1.2 Ch Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer (2025)

Just bought the Q600F last week as it was on sale and couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase. It has no Smart Home integration possibility, but if that's not important to you, I would go for it. It's sounding great, very punchy and with the settings "Surround" and "Virtual" on, it even makes "boring" stereo content quite immersive even without dedicated rear speakers. The performance regarding Dolby Atmos content is powerful too. I had to fiddle with the settings a bit (adjusting Treble, Bass and the volume of each speaker) but that depends on the room - mine is quite big so I had to turn everything up a bit. And the best part: the Q600F doesn't break the bank too much!

I went back to find the photo of the Samsung I bought S60CF. His older very expensive Samsung TV has terrible sound. This was a huge improvement. $350 at Costco, $450 at BB, and oddly $169 at something called Pexbo. I would not trust that. All this said, I honestly don’t know how this compares to the Sonos Beam 2 or others that you are considering.

I have q600f and its really great. I am fully satisfied with it.

I just bought Samsung Q600F (3.1.2) yesterday and it is great but if you specifically looking for bass than go for Jbl

Have not tested any atmos content. But overall sound quality is pretty good and i am fully satisfied with performace. Bass is where it lack only if your looking extra bass, otherwise its fine.

Just got a q600f on Woot for $300 and the swa-9250 rears for $150. Paired them together for a nice 5.1.2 system for $450. Sounds great for the money

th Samsung and LG 2.1s would sound the same. Pero kung makakadaan ka ng Ansons or Abenson, iba talaga pag may upfiring speakers. Kung kaya mo extend budget yung q600f ni Samsung could be a good choice @13k.

Via Soundbar but I just checked neither support VRR passthrough so I'll have to connect via TV (Tcl q6c) as I guess video latency is more important than audio latency for regular gaming (not competitve), the Soundbar which support VRR are Sony Bar 8 and 9 both not in my budget also I need a simple front speaker setup as I dont have space for rear speakers, so I think I'll go with JBL SB-580 though will loose the upward firing speaker of the Sony Theater Bar 6.

Finally decided on Samsung Q600F, price is good for an upfiring sounbar with Dolby Atmos and decent reviews so far, will connect via TV (TCL Q6C) and will activate Game Master which should hopefully help with latency in gaming.

This. OP, like you, I recently wanted to upgrade my soundbars. I tried the Sonos Beam Gen 2 and Sub Mini combo that everyone raves about (also caught it on sale a couple months back). The software and app is really lacking in quality and connectivity. The app took a while to recognize my sub and sometimes take way too long to reconnect if I unplugged it. and you’d have to be on 2.4G WiFi as 5G would conflict with it. I just don’t like absolutely being reliant on an app and WiFi for stuff like this to work. I ended up finding a Bose 600 smart soundbar that is the older version of the current Bose Smart which is a tie below the ultra, and adding a bass module 500. While Bose also needs an app to connect the soundbar and woofer to customize your settings, you can still hardwire the soundbar and bass to the tv. I like having this level of assurance in case the app decides to shit the bed. The Samsung might be the best bang for the buck as it comes with everything included. Tried a q600f for a couple weeks but found the bass completely lacking. The 990 should be better.

It’s actually a great soundbar, especially paired with the Sub Mini. I did find it a bit overrated after hearing all the praise for this combo. But, the clarity is amazing and the bass is really refined. For me, I wasn’t a fan of the app and needing it being reliant on WiFi for setup. Also, you have to be connected on a 2.4 GHz WiFi and not 5 because it’s reserved other things. I’ve never heard of a soundbar needing a specific range like that. Also, when I was moving my sub mini around, the app would take like 20 min to reconnect back to the app. I’ve also heard of horror stories in the past regarding software updates, which I’m sure aren’t as much of an issue now. But for how much money Sonos costs, it’s not worth the potential headaches for me. I’m more old school so I ended up returning and getting a Samsung Q600f. While not as great as the Beam and Sub mini combo, it was half the price, I didn’t have to buy a woofer separately, still sounds killer and it connects seamlessly with no wifi and app setup. I prefer simplicity. Maybe one day, I’ll give Sonos another go
