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.

I'd felt the same way. I was upgrading from a Yamaha YAS108 which had started to cut out. Bought a Vizio and immediately repackaged it and returned. Sound was funny and it just didn't feel rich. Bought a Samsung Q6cc and then added rear surrounds for under $200 and I'm absolutely blown away by the fidelity of the system. The sound is full, rich, and dialogue is crystal clear. I have no idea why anyone would opt for a full theater system over one of these today.

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 bought the Samsung Q6CC 3.1 bar from Walmart, then quickly added the rear surrounds and it is insane how good it sounds. All for under $250. Traditionalists came in and were astounded. Guilty looks on all their faces as to why they had to through the entire expensive process of installing their 5.1 and 7.1 systems.

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

the bar dtsx support. its a q60b , he need that dtsx app to get the option to show

UPDATE: Purchased the Costco HW-Q60CF and it was by far leaps and bounds better than the AX700. Dialogue clear as day and the upfiring drivers on the top of the bar gave a nice, clean, enveloping sound from above while not being too overwhelming or drowning out the rest of the sounds. I ended up returning it the next day because I was told by someone that Sam’s Club had the HW-Q65C on Black Friday sale for $289. I purchased the HW-Q65C which is a 5.1 system (no upfiring drivers on the bar, but comes with a pair of Rear Speakers). Overall I love it as much as the Q60CF, but I honestly think the sound displacement on the 3.1.2 bar itself takes the win over the 5.1. The upfiring speakers are a nice touch for those who don’t want the full “surround sound” experience. They give a nice height/depth feeling to whatever you’re watching. I will say though, the 5.1 on the Q65C is just as good, and I find the rears on this system to be more “solid” than the Hisense AX700 (IMO they felt and sounded hollow/plastic-y). For fun, I watched the same dialogue scene in the Gran Turismo movie that was beyond frustrating with the AX700 where I couldn’t hear ANYTHING unless I cranked the bar up to 30, which blasted my eardrums out on the following scenes - the Samsung handles it beautifully. The scene is clear as day at the lowest level (and DRC was toggled on/off for both the Hisense and Samsung to test) and everything sounds rich and crisp. The following scenes are deep and fulfilling with nice bass and good treble levels to enrich the sounds of the cars. The surround sound on the rears (which I also have placed in the same spot on the shelves EXACTLY where the AX700 rears sat) are super clean and not distracting. Note- The rears on the Q65C system ARE wired with speaker wire, which I know most will hate, but coming from someone who does telecom for a living, I prefer it as the wires carry throughput, power, and audio with less latency and minimal noise in frequency. Wireless is awesome, but all things wireless have drawbacks - quality in signal strength and latency is one of them. Overall - Samsung bars in general, but specifically mine that I have now (HW-Q65C 5.1) are 8/10 for me and my family. I rate it that only knowing something like the Q990 would be absolutely INSANE and would for sure be a full 10/10 I’d rate the Hisense AX700 a 5/10 as the system itself offers amazing value, but I truly was frustrated with it overall no matter what I was watching. The units feels much cheaper than Samsungs as well, which doesn’t inspire confidence. I hope this helps others. As everyone should remember - this is all my personal opinion. Everyone is different and I’m not an expert (but I have tested quite a few different soundbars at this point from different manufactures).

I have this one installed right now. Get it, you will like it.

Recently purchased the Samsung q60f from costco, really amazing sound quality fills the room!
