Samsung - HW-Q800D

Hey, I got a clearance Sale cost of 34K INR(390 USD) for Q800D.. and similar price for Sony S700 RF.. which one do you think is best price for sound quality and reliability and doesn’t get outdated soon?

This confusion of door knocks, screams afar have been consistent on my 12 year old basic Sony 5.1 wired speakers too. I now bought a Q800D last week

wow! nice, how do you like the soundbar? last week I was in Reliance digital and they had both Bar 500 and the Q800D, the Q800D sounded much better than the Bar500. they said they have a clearance sale for Q800D, for 34K. I am thinking of buying it, what are your thoughts? also online today JBL Bar 500 is available for 30K. Edit: My room size is 220 Sq ft

I just bought Q800D from reliance digital. They just opened a store near my house last month 12th and they had a demo unit without box. I got the new remote/cable from another soundbar Q700 maybe. They all work. Got it for 300$

IMHO, the Q800D is an incredible value and will not disappoint. While the F series does have the newer compact sub, the actual driver size is smaller. The Q800D has an 8in driver, while the Q800F is a 6.5in driver with an 8in passive radiator. Both are superior to the S800 series, as they'll have much richer tone due to their larger drivers and higher wattage.

I recently purchased the Samsung Q800D and am QUITE impressed! \* wide sound state \* gets lound \* bassy if you like it that way \* fantastic instrument saparation I consume more music than tv/movies, so I notice the details more than cinema consumption, I'd say. Highly impressed with this soundbar so far, also considering how it doesn't have rear speakers.

Go for q800d, even i am from India and been researching alot about it and with all the choices available to us q800d seems to be perfect option for you, plus one if you add rear speakers in the future. I bought q600c because i didnt have budget for 800d

Q800d/f is your best option. Slightly over your budget but worth it. I have bought 800d and q930f and both were excellent for movies.

I literally just did the same exact things as you for the same exact reasons lol I didn't think I needed the rear speakers or 11 speakers in a soundbar so I went with the Samsung q800d. Found it for a really good sale possible from an Amazon seller, applied for the business prime card for the $200 off bonus, and got it delivered for $270. Connectivity is perfect, as is the voice to picture timing (something my Bose Soundbar always had issues with), the app has decent enough control, and the things sounds very good. Now I'm looking into buying the rear speakers... Lol Should've just went for the 990

Same justification I used. Except in Europe the 800 series doesn’t have surrounds so the difference is even more profound

I would go with the q800d(eventually u can get a 7.1.4 with the rear), and samung is known to be better than lg, lg soundbars are ranked as the lowest. The wow orchestra isn't important, all companies do that so u choose to buy they soundbar.

for that budget, top up a bit for the q800d

There is no "best soundbar" for any TV. If your TV and soundbar both have HDMI ARC or eARC (LG C3 does), your soundbar's power and volume can be controlled by the tv's remote. Samsung HW-Q800D regularly goes on sale around $649/$699. I have one, it sounds great, does well for dolby atmos, the subwoofer is very good, it has lots of features like HDMI eARC, wifi, Spotify Cast, smart things, google amazon & amazon alexa support. It's rated well by RTINGS as well. Also supports SWA-9500S wireless rear speaker kit if you want to upgrade it down the road.

What's your budget? I've got the Q800d which is half the price of the Q990d. I'd consider that budget but I also worry that I'm stretching the notion of 'budget' for that

Just speaking from my own, admittedly, limited experience, the Q800d. I'm in a 4m x 4m lounge and it REALLY fills the space. As close to cinema as I'm going to get on a budget

As an owner of the Q800D, I can recommend it. For a reasonable space, the sound is big, has nice detail for its size and the bass is appropriately thunderous quite often. JBL is owned by Samsung FWIW

Depends. I've got a Q800d which is a very good midrange soundbar. I genuinely got a fright watching Fight Club the other night with the sound of the faux plane crash. I'd recommend that one out of personal experience. But any decent soundbar should comfortably twat TV speakers, especially any with a subwoofer

As a happy Q800d owner, that one. I'm going through the Harry Potter series currently and I just finished Chamber of Secrets. The Quidditch match in that film is one of the best action sequences I've seen in some time and the sound design for it is big reason why. I don't think I would have appreciated it as much with another soundbar. There's detail and real oomph (perhaps too much oomph from the sub, but that's not a problem for me) The side firing speakers give a nice width to the soundstage. And it handles action really well. Explosions and impacts have that 'WHOOMPH!' that I love watching action films in the cinema, with real size and depth. The raptors attacking the cow in Jurassic Park feels terrifying where it didn't before, the Trex attack is incredible, the bass when the brachiosaur's feet thunder on the ground is glorious, the car slamming to the ground when it falls out of the tree is amazing too as is the Galliimus stampede, which has great detail and real width, giving that sense of a herd of animals in your living room. I'm gushing a bit and using perhaps too many superlatives but I really love this thing. I got mine for a nice bargain and I see that, luckily for me and unfortunately for others, the price seems to have gone up. But if you can get it or one of its siblings (the Q800A, B, C or the current F) I'd recommend based on my experience with the Q800D
