"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"significantly worse object avoidance than than the Dreame x40 and L40 ... The best feature of the L40/X40/p10 pro ultra is that they have class leading object avoidance so you don't have to pick up your cat's toys or prep your house every time you want to run the robot meaning you can run it on a daily schedule which will keep your house cleaner. ... I run my X40s daily and they never get stuck on cables, cat toys and other random junk that ends up on the floor."
"I can basically always trust my X40 to finish a midnight cleaning session in the dark and wake up to find it sitting in its dock and have clean floors in the morning."
"I think its hands down the best all around option right now, especially once you hook it up to the water line and drain, i run it daily in our house and we got rid of our cleaning help because of it."

"The side firing channels on the rear surround make a *huge* difference on regular Dolby Surround coming from the Switch. ... The sound of an exploding bomb rock or the chomp of a Bulborb eating your Pikmin revolves *perfectly right around you* as you when Captain Olimar is walking in an arc. It's better than on my "real" 5.1.4 system."
"playing on the PS5 is taking the console to another level ... just listening to the engines of Gran Turismo 7, please, what incredible madness!"
"The surround effects that come out of this thing are practically otherworldly. ... Just watching music videos on YouTube is an eyeopener. ... The way the sound follows you as you walk around the room or even just turn your head while sitting still are like something that I've never experienced. ... It's that " sound mapping " feature, I forget the official name of it, but it's worth every penny for that effect alone. ... magical surrounding audio bliss this unit conjures up on the spot."

"Sound became more powerful, present and the vocals became even more clear. Also there clearly was a sensation of the increased soundstage. ... However this time it produced the best music I've ever heard from this system."
"music indeed sounds noticeably better with rears turned off. ... I would say that it gives at least an extra 30% to the experience. ... Turning the side and wide channels all the way down (I perceive the loss of details when those are playing), while upping the center and top made it sound the best for my ears."
"the sound was 10x better than the Q930D is. ... Really disappointed I sold the Sonos set."

"It has 2 bass levels, one that enhances the super low sub level and another in lower mids and it gets fuuuuucking heavy."
"Play the openheimer intro seen, if it do not rumble the house, something is wrong with the setup."

"The bass is slow and sludgy on the Cadenza. ... They can't keep up with faster tracks. ... If you're listening to metal, prog, acid jazz, etc... then you may have some issues with that. ... Fast, heavyhitting techno? Not with these."
"I personally felt the bass was pretty anemic on it and I'm not a bass-head. ... Less bass than the ER2xr, Blessing 2, Blessing 2 Dusk, IE 200 etc. ... Very thin sounding. ... They have less bass than the Moondrop Blessing 2. ... They have less bass than the Etymotic ER2xr. ... They have less bass than the Sennheiser IE200. ... Just not enough bass and I"m no bass-head."
"The subwoofer is weak and almost non existent."

"el sonido de estos earbuds son un asco ... nunca habia tenido unos earbuds con tan bajo volumen en el audio ... Ni si quiera me sirven para la funcion mas basica, para trabajar (Google Meet, Teams, etc), casi no se escucha nada ... ya lo intente en 4 devices (Quest 3, Android Phone, 2 Laptops) y lo mismo, YouTube, Musica Local, Juegos, Videos, etc en volumen MAXIMO.. y todo se escucha demasiado bajo ... el audio es demasiado bajo, de nada sirve que tenga las otras features si el audio es literal el 5-10% que un earbud normal de los que se compran en el mercado"

I have a 75x90L as well, and use a Samsung q930B.
r/bravia • What soundbar are you guys rocking? ->Samsung HW-Q930B/XN. I needed a no hassle sound system for my apartment that i rent. For me, personally its a 10/10.
r/LGOLED • What soundbar are you guys using with your LG OLED? On a scale from 1-10, how happy are you with the purchase? ->go for jbl bar 800 or samsung q800/930, jbl have excellent bass while samsung have excellent clarity
r/Soundbars • Soundbar recommendations ->Samsung HW-Q930 series deserves to be talked about more. It's a great soundbar!
r/Soundbars • The Best Soundbars to Buy now? ->Yeah Q930 owner here, volume goes to 100, we use it at like 8-12 for everyday tv. 14-16 if we're really into a show, and when the wife is gone 20-25.
r/Soundbars • Unsure about which soundbar to roll with ! ->After seeing the rtings review saying they couldn't justify the extra $800 for the 990 over the 930, that helped me decide. No regrets here. Thing is a monster. I can't imagine wanting more.
r/Soundbars • Unsure about which soundbar to roll with ! ->I'd go Samsung bar with the LG OLED. Did LG C1 + Q930b and still impressed to this day. There's no need to match brands with that tv and bar.
r/Soundbars • Which LG soundbars do folks recommend for the LG OLED evo C4 (48" and 42")? ->I don't know why someone would upgrade a Q930 to a Q990 at all.. they are too similar to start to make that worth it imo
r/Soundbars • 2025 Samsung Q990F ->I trust the rtings reviews, where they test and compare based on data. There's no way I'd ever get $600 additional value from a 990 over the 930 at the prices when I purchased. I barely use the 930 capabilities as it is.
r/Soundbars • 2025 Samsung Q990F ->It's not 500 bucks better, that's always been the issue with the 990, it's generally been waay overpriced for the relatively small features. The 930 is already going to blow the socks off most people. It's not like going to the 990 is going to be a significant upgrade and 500 bucks difference is a significant difference.
r/Soundbars • Can’t decide between q930 and q990 ->If you're willing to go used or refurb you should be able to find a Samsung Q930 for that, it will absolutely blow away any new $500 MSRP soundbar.
r/Soundbars • First time buying soundbar. Budget $500. Any advice? ->I'm using a Samsung Q930 on an LG C1 OLED and have not had any issues like you mention. The soundbar shows the volume level for instance, and the soundbar stays on Adaptive which is good for all sound modes.
r/Soundbars • Help me pick a soundbar for my TV. ->I have the q990d and a q930b. The difference in most stuff is barely noticeable. Atmos is slightly noticeable but if your room is small I'd go with the q930d or c if you can find them cheap. My 990d is in a living room that is 16x22 and it's plenty of loud at like 12 haha. The 990d can be had for good discounts, I think the best is on woot atm. If you wait for samsung direct to do a deal again with edu/work discount, I got it for $800 all said and done. At that price it's hard to beat.
r/Soundbars • Q990D or Q990F ->Not Q990, but Q930; similar design but little bit less channels. 2.5 years and counting. Still going strong.
r/Soundbars • The most recommended soundbars on Reddit (r/soundbar VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->I’ve had the sennheiser ambeo, Bose smart ultra, and the Samsung q800, in that order. First two were returned for connectivity issues with my newish Samsung tv. The q800 has been great (the ambeo probably had the best surround but only if it connected). 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. And the subwoofer is amazing.
r/Soundbars • Has Bose lost its crown? ->I agree, still very happy with it. I barely go over 15 on volume because it's so loud, once I tried the voice operating mode and said put the volume to 8. It misunderstood and set it to 88, jump scare of a lifetime ( and probably my neighbors too )
r/LGOLED • What soundbar are you guys using with your LG OLED? On a scale from 1-10, how happy are you with the purchase? ->I have no clue, but even my q930 with 4 upfiring: 2 front 2 rear, can't really blow me away. I also happen to have a room less than perfectly shaped which is pretty bad for those reflection based speakers. I doubt that one center speaker is going to do much and I also have never seen a dedicated home theater have a center channel upfiring.
r/Soundbars • is the 5.1.1 channel LG Home Theater Soundbar with Dolby Atmos and Rear Speakers S70TR good? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
