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 which one do you think is best price for sound quality and reliability and doesn’t get outdated soon?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$

A reliance digital sales guy quoted 54K for 990D, I didn’t have budget so I went with 800D for 26K

Q800D with 2 rear mounted 9500s very nice but I want to upgrade to the Q990D when I have some extra money

Q800D will suffice more than you need it have clear dialogue and crisp base as you requested, if prices are close get the F

Samsung Q800D, it’s basically the 990 but without the rear speakers. Great, as far as soundbars go.

Yes, so long as it has a woofer. Get the nicest one you can afford, the cheaper ones sound like crap. I have a Samsung Q800D which sounds great

So the Samsung q800d is the soundbar and subwoofer of the 990, but no surround speakers. It’s good

It depends on your tv speakers. The speakers on my Samsung s90d sound as good as the cheap sound bars I was using before I got a Samsung q800d, it was only then that I could clearly hear an improvement

Cheap is relative. To me a cheap soundbar is anything under $500 reta. Q800d is not under $500 unless you buy refurbished or on woot etc.

I have a G5 and paired it with the 930D. Solid setup.

Yep. I got the 801D for the living room and also added the rear speaker kit. Solid set-up 👌

I just got an 801D which supports Q-symphony, but realized my 2020 Frame doesn't support it. I think I missed it by a year 😅

I'm using the Samsung 801D. The 800d is the black version and currently on and on Woot.

I have the Samsung 801D paired with the 9500S rear speaker kit and it's great 👍🏻

Samsung 800 / 801D. Then you can grab the rear Atmos speaker kit when you get a few extra bucks.

I use a Samsung 801d with rear speaker kit. I'm sure it's not the best or most expensive setup, but it works well for our living room.
