Samsung - HW-Q930B

Samsung HW-Q930B/XN. I needed a no hassle sound system for my apartment that i rent. For me, personally its a 10/10.

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.

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 )

I use a Samsung Q930B with my C2. Love it. Sub shakes my couch and nearly my whole living room.

I have a Samsung HW-Q930B and I think it sounds great

I’m running the 2022 Frame 65” with the Q930b. Every time I turn on the TV it automatically turns on the soundbar and TV (q symphony). I only need to use one remote unless I want to adjust the subwoofer (almost never) which is when I need the soundbar remote. The only time I have issues is when i connect it to my Bluetooth headphones - when I disconnect the headphones it goes back to TV only and I need to manually switch it back to Q symphony. If I didn’t use my headphones I would be using the 1 TV remote only 99% of the time. Can’t speak to the later models but that’s been my experience. My 930b soundbar and woofer is plenty loud. My space is more than twice your space and I rarely have it near 50% volume. I love in an apartment and that’s probably already borderline anti social for the neighbours.

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

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. 

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.

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.

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.

Keep in mind the Samsung soundbar setups with true wireless surrounds like the Q930 you can tell it to use the surrounds as additional front channels instead. So if your living situation changes you then have good surrounds still without buying an entirely new setup.

I have a Samsung Q930 in my bedroom and it sounds good, very immersive but not at all accurate. I also have a dedicated 7.2.4 in my living room. If you are serious about good audio get a dedicated system.

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.

Q930 Q900 Maybe
