HW-Q990B

Samsung q990b , it’s awesome with zero issues

Samsung Q990b I got from FB marketplace a couple years ago. I am beyond happy with it. 10/10.

Q990b, and Q990f. I think tuning them to your needs is important. They sound amazing playing music in my setup.

More is better than less if you can afford it. I changed from a Q800B to a Q990B and the sound is noticeable even without the rears. Would've gotten the Q900C but it was not released where I lived.

I’ve got to second this, I’ve also got the 990b, the sub is insane and with all the channels installed at the right height and calibrated, barely listen to it above volume level 12.

Love my Q990B. For my room makeup it's perfect compared to a full system. Plus it thumps when I want it to

The one thing I don’t like about this Samsung is that it hasn’t changed, like at all and I had the Q990B, and while it was good, I paid more for the Sony hta9 and loved the difference in atmos on the Sony, then I got the Quads and Arc Ultra and I’m still in awe by how good the Quads sound with movies. The Samsung is able to keep it cheap because every part is almost identical, the bar, the rears, and the sub til this year keeps its price down from mass production. I get bored quickly especially since I’m unable to build my dream home theater but it’s been just under a year and when I first got it I bought the dragon at $4k and that was an absolute disaster at least for me.

I’m good with the Quads, as I have a pair of klipsch nines with a speedwoofer sub that’s only used for music. I have 2 young teenage boys and 2 well trained German shepherd’s but they like to play and need daily exercise so for now I’m good. The nines offer music at a different class than any soundbar can and my Quads are very good at movies so until I move in just about 3 years and change, that’s when I get my dream home theater and the best part is my wife loves audio too.

I had the Samsung Q990B and it was good, but I switched to the Sony hta9 which was much better with atmos and now I have the Quads which is the best Atmos I’ve ever heard and by a lot! I also have a full arc ultra era300s and 2 subs as well. The Samsung just never got me excited about movies which the hta9 did better, the arc ultra does better and the Quads beat them all. If money isn’t a factor then try the Quads as they are so easy to put anywhere unless your ceilings are not flat and past 12’. Maybe it’s time to upgrade to avr setup if you have the space for it as any 5.1 that’s decent will beat all of these even without Atmos.

Get the The 990F save money I have a 990B I am very happy with my bass performance, turn on bass boost and keep the sub at +3 level

I can't compare the two. I only had the Q990B and switched to Sonos. The Arc Ultra with Era 300s is so much better, but if I was looking for Home Theatre only, then I would probably have stayed and upgraded with Samsung. I wanted music around the house though, which is where Sonos did it for me. I don't think you have to go for the Sub 4 though. I just have the Sub Mini and I think it does an amazing job.

I'd say so, it's almost half off or is yeah? that's about the same as you'd get with an EPP discount, though the EPP ones would be brand new, but the most you'd expect to see on an open box product defect wise is like surface scratches on the bottom of the units from moving them around, stuff like that. just take a good look @ it when you take it out of the box, if there's anything you can't absolutely live with, return it. I've done this with multiple soundbar openboxes from BestBuy before I found my 990b deal. I myself bought the 990b from some crackheads off FB marketplace near me, it needed a wipe down, and the back right surround speaker looks like it was dropped bc the back corner is just very slightly split, but for 350 bucks it's been an insane upgrade from the old Samsung 2.1 bar I bought in 2015 during Black Friday for 100
