Compact value, but virtual Atmos and app issues.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
TL;DR: Strong value for movies, but music and HDMI 2.0 limit.

3InchesPunisherOh yeah, didnt notice the budget but yup 930f is also to be considered
ABCDBCDEYou mean QS750? The rears of the QS750 are not completely wireless as they are connected to a little radio station that's communicating with the soundbar. Q930F are completely wireless (aside from the power cable). The sub of the 930F is very likely better as it is much heavier. Try to listen to the QS750 (or QS710 as it's the same, only lacking the rears) and Q930F in a shop. I decided to go with the 930F.
I have the 930F and I am sure the 800F sounds very similar because Of the very similar weights and simensions. You just loose a few surround channels and the rear speakers. 200 € is 200 € ... So go for the 800 😬
Adorable_Peak4621Q800d/f is your best option. Slightly over your budget but worth it. I have bought 800d and q930f and both were excellent for movies.
AdvisorDullI second this, just go the same sound bar and it's been An absolute treat. Sounds good and got it for a great price in Aus
affffff009Put 100€ more and get the q930f/935f. You wont reget
