HW-Q60C/Q6CC (2023 Budget Model)

I just got the SAMSUNG Q-series 3.1ch. Dolby ATMOS Soundbar with Q-Symphony HW-Q6CC from Walmart. It’s currently on sale for $199. I’m happy with it.

That much different? Wow. I recently entered the soundbar era with a Q6CC which was on sale at Walmart. Added the rears and I'm absolutely blown away. I actually just want to sit and watch TV shows and movies. Many on repeat because it sounds so insanely good and I'm coming from a Yamaha soundbar which was just an all in one bar. I'm still getting used to the sub being next to my couch. I can't place the sub next to the TV so the audio can feel a little weird and disjointed. But once you're into the movie, man it sounds awesome

I have it in my living room and it sounds great. If you can get the 9200s surrounds it makes a world of difference

Samsung has a much stronger history of soundbars and are among the best with the 990 series. I myself had the Q600Cwith the 9200s surrounds and it was great and currently have the Q60C in my living room. The Onn 5.1.2 is definitely good at its $199 price but I would trust Samsung more if you are willing to pay a little bit more

This is a good deal OP, it is the Q60C model with a Sams model code. It has pretty basic Atmos but will definitely be a solid upgrade on the TV speakers. And if you don’t like it, you can return it!

It plays Atmos but down-mixes it into stereo. So you won’t get the height you would on a system with upfiring speakers.

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.

If dialogue clarity is the main goal, go for something with a dedicated center channel and a mode that boosts voices. Between the two you mentioned, the Samsung HW-Q600C is the better pick. It’s a 3.1.2 setup with a dedicated center speaker, Samsung’s Adaptive Sound feature that makes speech easier to hear, and it will work perfectly fine over ARC even without eARC. The HW-B750D is okay but not as clear or well-tuned for voices. Other options worth checking out in your budget are the Sony HT-G700, Yamaha SR-C30A or SR-B30A, and the Polk Signa S4, all of which do a great job with dialogue. If you go with the Q600C, make sure Adaptive Sound is turned on and, if needed, increase the center channel level a bit to make voices stand out even more.

I just bought Samsung and for that category, it's an immersive.
