Put 100€ more and get the q930f/935f. You wont reget
Bar 500 is only option with no rear speakers so you want true surround i wouldnt get that one. For pure sound quality id go Q935F and for bass impact definitely jbl bar 800
Get the samsung 935D, its the best one for under 500€
I've had my little brother the Q935F for a few months, bought it for 800 euros to accompany my 98" Samsung TV. I am generally satisfied, it has a very nice design and it works perfectly well with the Samsung TV (connection, Qsynphony). It is also very powerful I have a large open living room of around 60m2 and I am more than 4/5 meters from the TV/soundbar and for the moment we are on average at a volume between 8 and 12 on the soundbar. When I turn it louder my girlfriend complains that it's too loud ^^ The volume goes up to 100, but in reality I find that it becomes unpleasant around 35/40. On the other hand, I am disappointed with the subwoofer as I find it very shy even when turning the volume up to 20 when I want to play music very loudly in the house. The 9.1.4 "surround" effect is also disappointing, in reality I have the impression of having a "simple" 5.1. This may be due to the configuration of my open room but I wonder if the 990f manages the bass and surround effect better. If I could have tried with the 995f, I would have rather taken the latter but as it cost 1400 euros at the time of my purchase I did not know if the price difference was justifiable.
I got the q935d a couple of days ago, it’s great ! Tested JBL bar800 mk2 but q935d is better for me.
I’ve had Q935D and now I have 995F, I had a JBL bar 800 mk2 but return it just because I didn’t like dialog sound. For me Samsung was way better, it also have possibilities to adjust it more in smart things app. You can adjust Chanel level and there is a choice to enable/disable voice amplification. For me it’s more than fine with this disabled
Was in the same position, bought q935d at first. Was so impressed with that and thought if this is so good must q995f be awesome and it was. Didn’t plan to put so much money in it but I think it’s worth it after all. I’m planing to use this system for many years
Hi. I’ve ordered a Samsung S95F and will soon get it. Started with buying a JBL soundbar that I tested with my old tv. The one I got was JBL bar 800 mk2. It was a good soundbar but I wasn’t really happy with the speech sound. Bought a Samsung Q935D and this is the one I use now. The all around sound is better with Samsung, JBL had more bass. I didn’t really like the concept of its detachable rear speakers with battery. Sound wise it’s great when you could place them anywhere you want but when attached to soundbar the speech sound bad. I like dedicated rear speakers more. Though a have ordered a Samsung tv I think a Samsung bar is the best option. Haven’t tried q symphony yet but I think it’s great to have that option
I started my soundbar path with JBL bar 800 mk2. Overall it’s a good soundbar, plenty of bass but I wasn’t satisfied with dialog and rear when they was mounted to the bar. They wasn’t especially loud when I had them placed out either. Tried Samsung q935D and this was much better in my ears. Lower bass but much better dialog and permanent rear speakers with only power cable. Samsung also have more sound settings via SmartThings app and I really like my own tweaks regarding sound
Q935 is 549€ currently at MediaMarkt in Germany. Bought it today
I have a Sonos Arc + Sub Mini + 2 Era 100 in my living room and a Samsung HW-Q935GF in my bed room. I can really recommend the Samsung HW-Q935GF. I think its the best soundbar by far for price/quality ratio (got it for 455€). Its easily better than the Sonos setup for less than half of the price. The quality of the materials seems a bit lower (more plastic, feels a bit cheaper) but the sound is better than my Sonos system for half of the price. If you want the best of the best go for the Samsung HW-Q995GF.
Depends on your budget but since you have samsung you should definitely go with a samsung soundbar. But my recomendations are that you go with either the Samsung HW-930f/Q935f since its a mid-top range suround system or if you have a very big room go for the Samsung HW-W990f/Q995F Its very budget wise but they are all great sounding soundbars and they are all great with surround sound and dolby Atmos The Q93f/935f are a 9.1.4 surround system while the Q990f/995f are 11.1.4 surround system. I sit about 2,5-3m away from my soundbar and the Q930f is already on the high end for me of to being to big.
