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 which one do you think is best price for sound quality and reliability and doesn’t get outdated soon?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

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.

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.

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 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.

Q800D, only benefit to the q800f is that it supports eclipsa audio and has a smaller sub(which isn't as good as the q800d's at higher volumes). Basically u should just get the cheaper one.

for that budget, top up a bit for the q800d
