"Bass extension is approaching SVS territory. ... Excellent."
"Reminded me of the room shaking from the Q990C bass, but this one is very present around the 50-60hz frequency."
"can absolutely shake my house when turned up all the way"

"samsung has a great dialouge enhancement system starting from the q800 series. ... it doesnt compare at all to the q800c dialogue enhancement system."
"I unplug woofer and it sounds clear and perfect."

"when I play my PS5, I keep the sound output on amplifier so I can enable Dolby Atmos and that is a VERY noticeable difference."

"I bought Q800C just 5 months back for $239 only from samsung website."
"Plus if you need/want later on rear speakers you can buy them separately and upgrade this setup for dirt cheap compared to equivalent sounding setups from competitors"
"it was a great price"

"I'm very disappointed - it sounds incredibly 'tinny' ... I wanted clearer vocals, and it has that, but I sacrificed 'rich sound' for 'tinny tv speaker sound with a thumping subwoofer'. ... Even my wife noticed that its awful and she's not into this stuff. ... I have an old samsung DVD player sound system from like 10 years ago that I likely only paid $200 for and the sound had much more depth and sounded like a quality system."
"HOWEVER, on Q800C there were couple songs where at a higher volume it would distort a little on high frequencies on both Bluetooth and eARC, ALL THE TIME."

"too much bass muffled the dialogue ... I unplug woofer and it sounds clear and perfect. ... Setting sub to -12 dont fix the issue but helps."
"DTS:X is a little bit muffled at the same volume level."

"Most of the time, you probably wont hear sound from the rears unless the sound was required. ... Now, its more like I get surprised if sound from the rears are very active in action movies or even the overhead sound effect from atmos."
"i still dont know whats surround about it."
"surround sound is not great"

"you can’t change individual rear speaker levels with the 800c. ... Leave that on if your room isn’t perfectly setup like a home theater usually is."
