Samsung - Q800T (2020 T-Series)

Sound bars have their place. Typically a small apartment. I have a Samsung Q 800 it’s quite good. Would it be better with individual speaker of course but for my use case I prefer this. It’s cleaner looking and it works well.

I find my samsung Q800 looks alright. It blends in fairly well on my tv stand. Everyone has been impressed with it so far.

I find the cheap Samsung or the slim ones sound rough that’s why I called out the specific one I have. You have tried the Q800 or Q910/990 series? I used to have a Vizio that also sounded solid for what it was but the Samsung Q800 is far better. I went to a large audio shop and I wanted a soundbar for a variety of personal reasons and it was the best one that I could find.

Ya I went from a JBL 2.1 soundbar that maybe cost me $300 in 2019, to the Q800 it there was little to no difference. Some movies even sounded worse especially with voices or dialogue. Luckily I got it on sale but the normal price of these Samsung set ups for the quality is insane. Just get a decent speaker and avr set up for that.

Q800 and Q990 are both the absolute best price/perf in their respective categories. Are they the best thing singe bread came sliced? No. Are they the best package you can buy in their price ranges? Absolutely.

Get at least. 3.1 bar. I like the Samsung q600f for it's value. It's enough. It's good. It's a hell of a lot better than the tv speakers. Something like the q000f will blow you away without being too bulky. But it's double. Split the difference with the q800. I quite like the Samsung bars. Sony's good but expensive and piecemail. I don't really like their sub and bar combo ones. Some with sonos or bose. Nice but expensive and piecemail. TCL and Hisense have stuff but I've never heard it. But also haven't heard discussion about it. I like JBL. But their bars are just too bass heavy and the mids aren't great. Lg's not bad either. But Samsung is my choice

At a minimum get the samsung q800. Movies with Disney, prime and apple TV sounds great on surround sound. Unfortunately Netflix wants to ridiculously charge for 4k and dolby surround. Like 29 a month

Q800 I have them and then added rear and was even better

Rather than ¨bigger is better¨you might want to consider a soundbar with the biggest soundstage. I just got a Sonos Arc Ultra with two era 100s to replace a Samsung Q800 with rear surrounds. Even though they are similar in size the Sonos soundstage blows the Samsung out of the water.

You could have got the 930f for £150 in that 45 minute period with the discount code and cash back. You need to keep an eye out at the start of every October, for sound bars and for tvs as they do silly offers where it makes more sense to buy it and sell what ever you have. I got a q800 and a 65 inch q80r when newly released for £ 1400 total price. Tv was £2100 and sound bar was £800 before cashback.

I have a Samsung Q800 and for TV it's amazing hardware. Features like midnight playback and dialogue boost works great!

I don't care. Soundbar looks super slick. https://preview.redd.it/ebgaucm7dfqe1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6971c3b6be2ec932d2531d7bcc0006695e795d09

Look at Samsung maybe q800 series? Also has a sub.. not sure if that's a no-go.. but the app has two voice clarifying options..I use one on all (3) of my Samsung soundbars.

I have the same TV, I love it great piece of kit! I bought the Q990 to pair with mine and utilize Q Symphony which basically uses your TV speakers in the surround sound mix. It’s a noticeable difference but not a huge one. For that budget you should/might be able to pick up a Samsung Q800. Any Samsung soundbar with Q Symphony capabilities will maximize your TV’s abilities when listening to Atmos especially. https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/reviews/samsung

Yes the D has 2 front side firing speakers. The A is classed as 3.1.2 (3 front, 1 sub and 2 up), the D is classed as 5.1.2 (5 front, 1 sub and 2 up). The D is also more powerful, slightly. The 5.1.2 move happened with the B series, if you can find a much cheaper Q800B that’s your winner IMO.
