"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."

"For gaming the Tea Pros so far are a 10/10, I play mostly Hunt: Showdown and the additional separation, staging, and tighter but punchy bass were all noticeably better for my ears."
"The best is hearing directly via TV apps such as Disney+, Netflix, Prime and Kayo. The surround, smooth deep bass and clarity with the upfiring speakers on both the bar and rear speakers is 'chef kiss'."
"I don’t listen to EDM, but I can say that Karma (Electric Fountain) from the Tekken 6 OST sounds awesome. The bass rumble feels like it’s always present in the space when the mid-bass punch hits. Meanwhile, the details in the upper-mids and treble are clear but never sounding harsh or fatiguing"

"still have quality sound and bass ... With a slight adjustment in the bass on Spotify + spatial sound, the Airpods fly! The bass and quality of the Airpods almost reach the same level as the XM4!"
"The best is hearing directly via TV apps such as Disney+, Netflix, Prime and Kayo. The surround, smooth deep bass and clarity with the upfiring speakers on both the bar and rear speakers is 'chef kiss'."
"the sounds grab you tightly like it's saying, "Look at me only." ... when i put the tea pro, i can accurately tell where he is, what he is doing, and heck, the snipping scissors felt so real it tickled my ears and brain."

"We have traveled to 3 countries with it, set it up on taxis etc."
"Super easy. ... Took about 20-30 minutes"
"sets up in under 3 min including stake out time. ... Take down is just as fast and it fits in its storage bag with out much fuss. ... set up in under 90 seconds 120 if you putting in stakes."

"Oh and with the q930d and q990d the rear speakers have 0 noticeable Latency even though they are wireless (apart from power cord) using Bluetooth to the bar."
"With the q930 you get physical surrounds and a seperate subwoofer unit ... the Q930D just smokes them"

"the current sub is beyond terrible, at least to my ears. ... my 80W 10" Vizio subwoofer that is miles better than the Samsung ... The biggest complaint about the Samsung soundbars was always the lack of bass. ... I returned the B and the D due to the poor subwoofer performance. ... The weak sub was always the main problem with these bars."
"the subwoofer disconnects sometimes every 15 seconds ... now its been ok after reconnecting it for the 20th time"
"Will they fix the subwoofer dropage issues? ... Ended up returning it due to the neverending link problems."

"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"
"The subwoofer is weak and almost non existent."
"the subwoofer sucks. ... I have it turned up and can barely hear or feel the damn thing."

"I was having signal loss issues going from Bluray player/console to soundbar directly then out to TV"
"The only thing that the D > C are the 2 input ports with hdmi 2.1 capabilities."
"only have 4k 60hz inputs ... I would buy q990c unless you want 120hz 4k inputs in q990d."

"it's completely unnecessary because it's very underwhelming on low to mid volume ... in low to mid volume it very underwhelming you really have to turn it way up to get the real surround Atmospheric feel ... it's really intended for large dedicated rooms but in a small apartment where you don't want to disturb the neighbors it's completely incompatible."
"It's really solid for movies but lacking big time for music, especially at lower volumes."
"My wife, who knows very little about soundbars and watches tv movies with me, thought I hadn't bought the "GREAT SOUNDBAR" I bragged would put us into a movie theater in our bedroom.. ... We have to play the volume somewhat low but not too low. We can't disturb our neighbors. We live in an attached town home. ... The sound was dull and lifeless."

"As I’m writing this, I’m watching Pacific Rim on my ATV4K (purchased on iTunes). System volume at 25%, rears and sub at MAX. I can hear all of the atmos effects clearly and the experience is exceptional. Not the case when the HT-A7000 was the soundbar."
"Rears (even at MAX volume) weren’t very present (Bladerunner 2049 is the exception)."
"For a bigger room, you'll need to add the rear RS5's, eventually. Totally changes your experience."
I mean Woofer power 0 is neutral and 6 is max. I have q930d. But I can change “Bass” on controller too but not with 1 button
r/Soundbars • Samsung q990 /q995 doesn't blow me away ->I don't have anything useful to say other than that LG soundbars seem to be awful. I haven't used one myself, but I have an LG C4 and wanted an LG soundbar to keep it the same. I was looking around at reviews on soundbars and settled on the LG S95TR since it was on a pretty good sale for almost half price. Doing more research into LG soundbars was really weird, because they get good reviews from places like rtings.com and the stores review pages, but everyone on reddit shits all over them and says they sound like crap. It could just be really subjective with how one person is able to put up with TV speakers and someone else can't even stand certain soundbars, but I was afraid to spend so much money on something that could possibly end up being instantly returned. I ended up playing it safe and going for the Samsung Q930D which was on the same sale and I purchased it for the same price that the LG S95TR was going for. Not a fan of Samsung as a brand, but I really can't fault this soundbar. Had it for a few days now and I have nothing to complain about, it was quick and easy to set up and sounds wonderful.
r/Soundbars • LG SC9S or LG S90TY for a small room with 55" C4? ->I had to rip out a 5.1.2 denon driven system with wharfedales because 'the sitting room isn't a theater'. We compromised with a Samsung Q930d. It isn't as good for the sound but is honestly still really good. Also it's wireless and you don't have to go into sub sub menus to fiddle with settings to get it to actually do Atmos
r/hometheater • Need decent sound without speakers everywhere. ->I have 930D. Room is 14m² . It has enough power, just don't listen it too loud so as not to disturb the neighbors and you will be happy with this soundbar, just like me :) I wait for months becaiuse I worry about haha It all depends of the source of course, but even on youtube its sounds fine. To be honest I regret a bit I didn't wait for F series because subwoofer is smaller and price isnt as high compared to D series
r/Soundbars • Samsung HW-Q930F – Worth it? ->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 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 ->Honestly just save up for a Q930, it's what that tv deserves. It's worth the wait. You can set the satellite speakers as front wides, you don't have to mount them behind you on a wall.
r/Soundbars • Recommendations in $250-350 price range? ->Are you in the USA? I'm confused as to why this escapes you. https://gprivate.com/6evue https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-hw-q930d-za-9-1-4-channel-q-series-soundbar-with-wireless-subwoofer-and-rear-speakers-dolby-atmos-and-q-symphony-black/6570311.p?skuId=6570311 https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/reviews/samsung/hw-q930d It's literally everywhere. I'll return to my original advice. Wait. Save. Budget for it. Dont buy a top tier TV and use a budget sound solution.
r/Soundbars • Recommendations in $250-350 price range? ->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. ->Well, you already got a pretty decent soundbar. The Q930 and 990 are a step up but although they both come with rear surrounds, you can place them up front adjacent the soundbar and change the setting in the app to tell the bar where they are.
r/Soundbars • What is the best standalone soundbar with subwoofer, no satellites? ->Should 100% be as the q930c is exactly the same as the q930d.
r/Soundbars • Samsung q800f v/s zeb juke bar 10000 v/s Sony bravia theatre 6 ->Bro, don't buy unknown brands... also with a 1k budget just get the q990d/f, or q930d/f.
r/Soundbars • Can’t find any info on Monster Soundstage Pro Dolby Atmos Soundbar with 12" Subwoofer (Sam’s Club) exclusive. ->I just got this bar. I will say it's clear and the sound is CRISP. But what I hate is the lack of bass. For this amount of money and the research I did I was expecting my room shaking. Sadly it was not the case. My old Vizio m5 has way more bass than this thing and it's a 3rd of the price. I am returning this bar and the search continues. I was so excited spending this cash thinking this was the last bar I'll need for awhile, sadly disappointed with Samsung and read I am not the only person who is disappointed with the lack of bass. LOTR thumped with Vizio and you can barely hear the balrog on this bar. I've done all the app stuff, reset the bar, firmware nothing changed. Maybe I did get a dud, but not rolling the dice again.
