I mean Woofer power 0 is neutral and 6 is max. I have q930d. But I can change āBassā on controller too but not with 1 button
I have the q930d samsung soundbar. I am looking for a soundbar with better bass i was thinking about the jbl 1300x mk2 or sony bar 9 with subwoofer and surround Speakers as a complete package . Ideally with additional hdmi inputs . Any suggestions please
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 š
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.
Iāve 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. Thatās $700 bucks right there and this is for bare bones basic budget system. Also I didnāt 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 itās 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.
Love my 930d for my flatā¦
Bass is just about settings .. I have 930D and bass is not a problem in any way
If you compare on rtings the new bass speaker change is mostly cosmetic and mine goes behind the sofa⦠i canāt put my bass above -6 or the neighbours complain
