Hallo wenn du sonos Arc hast am besten kaufen era 300 ersetzen deine one sl und dann bekommst du bessere Atmos effekte Samsung klingt nicht so brutal wenn gerat wenn kaputt geht Samsung Support Kundenbetreuer extrem katastrophal hatte ich auch Samstag d 995 gehabt aber hab ich verkauft und sonos gekauft, Samsung saund kommt nicht mehr rein bei Sonos und Qualität Technik Sonos definitiv besser als Samsung egal welche model und saundbar lg Pars
The Q995 is the Nordic version and doesn’t have any built in voice assistants (Google or Alexa) ie, you can’t control the soundbar by speaking to it. You can still connect it to your smart home controller, I have mine in Apple Home.
I have a Samsung Q995D paired with my new Philips 77OLED810, used it with my LG 55” C9 before that. One of the best investment for immersive sound experience and listening to Dolby Atmos music is really good. I highly recommend, specially if you can get for €800-900.
From the reviews I have seen, Q Symphony is a mixed bag, some say it’s good, others not so. My understanding is that you can play sound from both the TV speakers and soundbar at the same time, I could do this with my LG C9 and Q995D but it didn’t make it sound any better.
Had an OLED for 5 years with a cheap LG 3.0.2 soundbar and recently got the Samsung Q990D, a world of a difference. I don’t believe I handicapped myself with poor sound for 5 years. And Dolby Atmos music is amazing, listening to music go around you is a game changer. I don’t game, but I can imagine playing games with Atmos would be great too. Get the biggest OLED you can afford and soundbar with rear surrounds. If you can’t afford both, get the TV and save for a good soundbar as soon as possible.
I don't understand, you bought the best soundbar in that price range and returned. Jbl will not be as good. You should have stuck with 990d and if you really hate the music on it so much, then get something dedicated for music. I am sorry, but I have been reading for a while and 990d/f are the top in that price range
Agreed. I just got a 990d and I’m happy with it. Similar situation to OP but in a larger space. Living room is 15’x28’ (listening area is mostly 15’x18’ given the configuration of the furniture in the room) and open to another area as well (kitchen and dining area). I’ve heard better sound systems but I’m quite impressed with this one. It’s stupid easy to set up.. basically plug and play. The sound surprisingly fills the area quite well.
Just got the Q990D today . this thing is amazing
Same . I haven't owned another soundbar that came with subwoofer and side speakers so I can't compare it to anything else but damn this shit sounds amazing , how much better can a soundbar get lol
I got a Samsung q990d for my lg. I don’t regret it. Best soundbar I’ve ever had.
I have the Samsung q990d and it’s a great soundbar. I’d recommend it if he wants to go the soundbar route.
I’d say Samsung q990f. I have the q990d and love it.
Q990d is one of the better soundbars I’ve heard. That is why purchased it.
