"the subwoofer allows you to feel everything!!!"
"is terrific Atmos wise."
"The functionally totally integrated satellite on the Q990 speakers make a huge difference to just plain soundbars."

"For the price you can't beat it. ... I saved $4k."
"The Samsung also out performed the Sonos system, which was three times as expensive hands-down, no question. ... I spent close to $3000 on the Sonos system at the time. Bought the Q 990 to compare it to at a third of the cost. And the Samsung killed it."
"And it should, for the fucking price it should. But it actually doesn’t. That’s why the 990 series have always been praised. It’s like the Nissan GTR of soundbars, beating super expensive systems while still below $1k lol!"

"one will always struggle on dialogue clarity and absence of speaker levels on jbl. Smsung 990 is a true winner."
"Dialogue and bass are perfect and have mine set to 0, so I can't imagine you would have an issue."
"I prefer crystal clear dialogue and surround effects over Bass my neighbors can hear."

"I prefer the Bass over the Nakamichi 9.2.4. I have the sub right behind my couch. It works great."

"They also don’t offer 4 different sound modes and per channel adjustments so you can really dial in the sound for your room."
"I have a C3 in a small living room and picked up a Q990 and it is definitely overkill. It's great but it's a lot for a small area. ... Don't get me wrong, it sounds great to me. ... It beats my older Q70T that I had paired SWA8500 read surround speakers."

"But they drop the ball on their firmware update with bricking some soundbars with the last update on their 990. ... Samsung had a bad firmware release last month or two. And some 990 stop working aftet the update"

"In my country (EU) there always seem to be a constant price difference with the q990 being always around 200-300 euros higher than the q930"
"the investment was too much to justify the cost"
"unless you’re getting the EPP discount they are north of $1000."

"Obviously this is just a another repackage with minor differences Samsung's been doing this since the q990b the biggest difference has been when they added HDMI 2.1 support that's the only real upgrade they've had since that everything else has been really really tiny."
"The B to F is basically the same sound wise (the sound difference isn't even worth $100 tbh)."
"But they drop the ball on their firmware update with bricking some soundbars with the last update on their 990. ... Samsung had a bad firmware release last month or two. And some 990 stop working aftet the update"
