"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"As I’m writing this, I’m watching Pacific Rim on my ATV4K (purchased on iTunes). System volume at 25%, rears and sub at MAX. I can hear all of the atmos effects clearly and the experience is exceptional."
"I would say that as long as you have something that tries to create the height information of Atmos and DTS:X, you're good. ... As such, the Bravia Bar 9 with sub and rears is totally fine, very good even. ... a soundbar with rear speakers, subwoofer, and upfiring tweeters will at least give you discrete channels for all or most of the sounds contained on the disc."
"ever since adding the Bar 9, the SA-RS5’s have become more present when watching movies. ... With both soundbars I always set to rears to MAX volume, but now I can actually hear them while using the Bar 9. ... They’re powerful at MAX volume and their sound is clean. ... The other night I watched A Quiet Place Part II. Rears were set to MAX but system volume was set to 30. I could still hear the rears loud and clear. This is with the Bar 9 in the system. When using the A7000, there’s no way at 30% system volume that I’d be able to hear the rears. ... the RS5’s are amazing now."

"This cable brought out the entirety of life for my purposes within the KZ Castor Pro (Silver Balanced). It added body to the whole sound profile and tamed the airy tin treble. ... It transformed the sound so much so that it is like having "ear radar" for getting the drop on enemies within Call of Duty Mobile - Battle Royale."
"In terms of full surround sound, immersion, 5.1.2 clarity etc., the Vizio."
"im selling 3k$ worth of amps, dacs, headphones, iems just because I accidentaly heard Kz castor (harman, white, UP UP DOWN DOWN).. no joke ... way way way... im selling 3k$ worth of amps, dacs, headphones, iems just because I accidentaly heard Kz castor (harman, white)... ... but this one slaps for 10$ :-D"

"I wanted to be able to connect a player (for plex) directly to the bar and have atmos (the q600c has up firing speakers)."
"I have it in the master bedroom and added the rear speakers which improved it quite a bit."

"el sonido de estos earbuds son un asco ... nunca habia tenido unos earbuds con tan bajo volumen en el audio ... Ni si quiera me sirven para la funcion mas basica, para trabajar (Google Meet, Teams, etc), casi no se escucha nada ... ya lo intente en 4 devices (Quest 3, Android Phone, 2 Laptops) y lo mismo, YouTube, Musica Local, Juegos, Videos, etc en volumen MAXIMO.. y todo se escucha demasiado bajo ... el audio es demasiado bajo, de nada sirve que tenga las otras features si el audio es literal el 5-10% que un earbud normal de los que se compran en el mercado"
"The subwoofer is weak and almost non existent."
"the subwoofer sucks. ... I have it turned up and can barely hear or feel the damn thing."

"The Pro X for example is marketed at over 4,000 square feet but it's only one air change. That won't be enough to help with odors."
"My Levoit Core 200s is advertised on Amazon as providing coverage for a 1,000 square foot room. In reality, it *could change the air in a 1,000 square foot space but only once in an hour on it's highest speed. You want more air changes per hour. Going by 5 air changes an hour on it's highest fan speed, the Core 200s covers 200 square feet."
"The mini is much too small for a bedroom."

"But, in terms of Atmos and the bar's upward firing speakers, the results are less than jaw dropping. ... But so far little specific overhead effects have manifested themselves."
"we don’t get specific height effects either. Just a greater sense of height to the overall presentation."
"Is it as good for atmos? No"

"i still dont know whats surround about it."
"Is it as good for atmos? No"
"I have the q600c and I can’t say the upfiring speakers do much"
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.
r/Soundbars • Has Bose lost its crown? ->I picked up the Samsung HW-Q6CC from Walmart for $199 and have been very happy with it. It has a sub but it is wireless so you can put it anywhere in the room or store it in a closet and just bring it out for special viewings. I have limited experience with soundbars and it definitely isn't as good as the full setup in the media room but it has definitely made me watch more things on the TV because it sounds very nice for such a small cost.
r/Soundbars • Recommendations in $250-350 price range? ->I think this bar does a very good job of that. I grabbed it out of urgency as I was at my folk's place and we were going to watch a movie but the TV speakers were terrible so I needed something inexpensive that I could pick up immediately. I was very pleasantly surprised at how nice it sounded so brought it home to our house and have been using it in the family room.
r/Soundbars • Recommendations in $250-350 price range? ->I originally bought the 600c and it was good, but the newer model , qs700f has smart things app support, direct Spotify and WiFi support, and the bass sounds better. It has much more control of the sound with the app and remote too.
r/Soundbars • I analyzed Reddit data for the 25 most recommended soundbars (in the past year) ->I just got the QS700F and love it. The 600c is still good, got it for my fam. I love the more modern features of the 700f, Spotify connect and app support. But if those don’t matter to you the 600c would probably be good. Edit : I ordered the QS700F through Samsung and got it for $479.99 using the education store discount.
r/Soundbars • Any personal reviews of the HW-Q600F/ZA? Trying to decide between it or the Q600C ->I just bought a new tv. Switched to 85 and my Samsung soundbar from previous one looks to small for it now. So I connected it today to my pc. It’s 3.1 with 6 speakers and man …. Since it’s around 80cm long, the sound immersion over the pc table is unbelievable good. It’s soundbar which was for around 250 USD in 2017.
r/Soundbars • This is for those who are thinking about buying soundbar for pc ->How’s the dialogue on the 800? I just got the 600c and not very happy with it. The dialogue is so low compared to everything else. Thinking about returning it and getting the 800
r/Soundbars • Q990D or Q800D? (I have no space for rear speakers) ->I was in the same exact position. I ordered a Samsung TV and HW-Q600C soundbar "for fun" in the beginning of this month. Liked the concept so much but returned both to get better models. What I can say based on my countless hours of research: as of now, the best "budget" but decent quality system is hw-q600c especially if you can get some used version on Amazon or eBay. The next best system for money is a used / renewed HW-QS730D. This is basically an improved version of the q600c with a better subwoofer, Wi-Fi and FLAC/ALAC support, as well as AirPlay 2 and others. I've realized how important wifi is for loseless streaming. You can't just do it on BT, have to use HDMI. If you want to know what I ended up with: I've found an HW-Q800D for $370 on eBay from a reputable seller. It's used, but turned out to be like new. I guess enthusiasts here would say it's a steal. I am impressed with the quality of this tech. Good luck! Added: I see you're concerned about design. Look up hw-s800b and related. Used of course if you want to save up a noticeable amount!
r/Soundbars • Recommendations in $250-350 price range? ->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.
r/Soundbars • I want a Sonos but should I just get the Samsung Q990D/F? ->well, budget and rear speakers don t go in the same sentence:). So, let me give u my recommendations. And yes, samsung is the best price to performance soundbar manufacturers in my opinion. The Q930D is the least expensive rear speakers option for you. I own one, im listening to it rn, best choice i ve take. Depends very much on where u live, but u should not spend more than €650 on them. Now let s talk about the more friendly budget options. first Q600c/Q6cc ( are the same thing) u can find them at about €250 and for their price, it s a very solid option. if u want something louder but not as clear and premium as the Q600 u need a B750D, almost 100w more, i would NOT go for the b650d tho, as it s their lowest model
r/Soundbars • What soundbar is best for me? ->I visited the store yesterday. Unfortunately, they didn’t allow me to update the firmware on the Q85H. I compared it with the Samsung HW-Q600C, and even one of Samsung's lower-end models sounds more interesting... I'm leaning towards getting a Samsung, but a slightly higher-end model. It wasn’t available in the store, only by special order. Maybe in the future, I’ll switch to a TCL soundbar after they fix their bugs. I don’t understand how Rtings could give such outstanding ratings to the TCL soundbar. :(
r/Soundbars • Thoughts on the TCL q85h? ->Fwiw the HW-Q600C is available for $250 on Amazon. Not sure how that compares to the other systems but I just ordered it myself.
r/Soundbars • Should I go with the JBL or the Samsung? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
