holy shit I love it, just buy this thing. I got it for 476 (but € lol idk how much that is at the time or what you are even using) thanks to a friend who is student and got a discount. But even for 599 its perfect, all comparable soundbars cost 900 at least. But use chatgpt for the installing. The connecting is easy, the audio setup of your tv isnt. It still sounds great, but for dolby atmos you have to set up some things. And you have to download an app to activate the room scanning (definetly recommend that) And you have to buy stands or mounts for the surround speakers. (its not expensive) If you got a console dont plug it directly into the soundbar, because 120hz isnt available then. The sound transmitting should work perfectly fine with the tv in between.

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

Yep. Samsung with the rears on the nightstands (raised if possible) equidistant and angled towards you. We have the 930D in the master bedroom and it's great.

I have a G5 and paired it with the 930D. Solid setup.

Yep. I got the 801D for the living room and also added the rear speaker kit. Solid set-up šŸ‘Œ

I'm also confused and annoyed by this. I just got an LG G5 for the master bedroom and realized it doesn't support DTS passthrough. I have a Panasonic 450 4K player ready to use and guess I'll just have to use a separate HDMI for audio directly to my Samsung 930D soundbar šŸ¤·šŸ» Meanwhile my less expensive TCL mini-LED supports everything, plus both DV and HDR 10+ šŸ˜…

I was going to buy this exact model for $700 buck a couple days ago at BestBuy, instead I went with the Samsung Q930D that was on clearance for $850. I'm glad I did and am loving the Q930d sound system. The one thing that held me back from getting the QS750F was that the rear speakers are wired together. I wanted an all wireless speaker system (only needing to plug them each to a power outlet). But if that is no issue, from what I've researched, the QS750F is a great buy. I think I would have been happy with it regardless but in 2026 I want my speakers to be all wireless. Another option that I actually bought but am returning is the Sony Bravia Theatre System 6. It's new and only $600 at Bestbuy. The bass hits hard with the subwoofer. I'm talking it feels 20 times more powerful than even the Q930d. My issue and reason I am returning is the rear speakers are not only wired together, they are wired to a bulky mac mini looking box. Also, the soundbar is wired to the subwoofer and all the connections go to the subwoofer. It did not feel wireless at all in any way. Oh and also with the Sony Bravia Theatre System 6, the soundbar does not have upfiring speakers on it. It makes the sound feel like its coming from a small box directly in front of you. With upfiring speakers on other soundbars, it makes the sound feel wider and more open. Overall though I think the QS750f would be a great buy. Only has 1 wire between the rear speakers, the soundbar has upfiring speakers, the subwoofer looks to be really good according to reviews. It has wireless capabilities like chromecast to it. I don't think you can go wrong with it.

I’ve had both. The sound system is a lot more pricy even budget ones. The center speaker $100 bucks at least, the front speakers $100, the rear speakers $100, the subwoofer $100, the amp $300. That’s $700 bucks right there and this is for bare bones basic budget system. Also I didn’t include all the wires you will need to buy and speaker stands. You can get a great wireless Samsung soundbar with subwoofer and rear speakers for that price. I bought the q930d Samsung soundbar and it’s great. Everything is wireless you just connect each speaker to a power outlet. It sounds great, looks great, super easy and fast to set up.
