"Great soundbar. ... The differences between the C, D, and F, do not justify the difference in price (unless you need 4K @120hz )"
"if you're strapped for cash, consider Q900C and SWA-9500S set ... after 900c the soundbar hardware 95% remained the same."

"Q symphony is amazing. ... With the first two bars, you could clearly tell the sound was coming from below the TV… q symphony fixes that completely."
"Voice clarity is what shocked me the most."
"I recently bought the 900C and listen to music on it almost daily. I like the sound."

"I found that Q-Symphony adds a nice touch of fill-in to the front soundstage. ... Not life changing, but definitely worth it."

"That was my only real complaint with their 900 series sets. A small settings change in the menu, or even some system-wide awareness that allows switching to a different mode specifically for listening to music -- or even older Dolby 2.1 and stereo channel content from any source. ... not having solid music playback was a tough pill to swallow."
"Sub/mid bass is too forward, boomy, and ephemeral; it lacks impact and slam."
"Mids are far too recessed and there's not enough detail past 1-2k."

r/Soundbars • Samsung Q990D (or new Q990F) or Sonos Arc Ultra with Sub 4 and 2 Era 300s ->I have an LG G3 with inadequate built-in speakers, so was in the market for soundbar. Naturally I considered LG soundbars to stay in the ecosystem but reviews scared me away. So I went with the crowd favorite Samsung Q900C 7.1 (effectively the Q990C 11.1 minus rear speakers) for $400 and no complaints.
r/LGOLED • I need suggestions with soundbars ->I got a Samsung Q900c for my LG G3. No regrets.
r/Soundbars • Should I get an LG sound bar for my LG TV? ->Not true. C is only the model the year before. I know because I have it and it has rear speakers
r/Soundbars • Best Soundbar without rear speakers? ->If the q900c isn’t available, just pack the rears away or use them as front speakers. I didn’t want rears but bought the q990b a few years back. We started bringing out the rears on movie nights but now just are permanently out
r/Soundbars • Best Soundbar without rear speakers? ->the q900c doesnt have rears only a sub, the q990c has rears but its essentially the same bar... but yeah, a q600c would be better quality since its a somewhat of a consensus that LG bars suck so the cheapest Q series should do the trick, a friend got it and it surprised me.
r/Soundbars • Recommendations in $250-350 price range? ->Q900c does not have rear speakers, but you can add that later if your situation changes. Sonos arc ultra is another possibility.
r/Soundbars • Small space soundbar? ->I have a small living room as well (tv is even closer) and have a q900c with rears and it works really well. My back right speaker is mounted to the wall and the left one is on a shelf and angled downwards. Go for the q990 and wait for the software issues to be sorted out. It'll still should great.
r/Soundbars • Small living room - Dolby Atmos possible? ->I've had the Samsung q900c for a few months and it's been pretty solid.
r/Soundbars • Getting Discouraged ->Q900C. Same soundbar, same subwoofer without the rear speakers.
r/Soundbars • Best Soundbar without rear speakers? ->https://preview.redd.it/2p7b37nf0xqe1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59f64eece64c1aaf9cfffcb2607261f349ea8f3e Got this 900c for $503 and 9500s for $207 from Amazon. I believe this is an amazing deal! Any one can recommend a rear satellite stand?
r/Soundbars • Just ordered a new Samsung HW-Q900C for $503.96 ->From Samsung : Q800C/D and Q900C/D (Q900 is not available in some regions)
r/Soundbars • Best soundbar without rear speakers? ->Great soundbar. The differences between the C, D, and F, do not justify the difference in price (unless you need 4K @120hz ).
