Q990F

You can get the Q990F brand new from woot for under a grand. It comes with all mounting brackets for the satellites. We just received ours and it sounds fantastic!

I like “tight” sounding bass vs boom and rattle, so I chose the F. The Rtings reviews effectively place them equal. Just decide which sound you prefer and pull the trigger, you won’t be disappointed either way.

We love our new Q990F. It is so much more than just a soundbar. We also have a new Samsung TV and like the “Q Symphony” feature that links the TV speakers with the soundbar. Also really like the built in Homethings Hub and Alexa capabilities built into the Q990, we use these to control home automation, and Ring cameras and Ring Alarm.

We find the bass on our 990 to be plenty. It’s enough to bring my wife downstairs to see what’s happening when she hears it rumbling.

Like I said, the bass is plenty. It rumbles. OTT content is handled fine, no concerns. It’s a fantastic soundbar.

Thanks, I just picked this one up!

I understand the jbl mk2 still only has hdmi 2.0b which limits any external device (such as consoles) to 4k 60hz which isn’t ideal. I really wanted to get the mk2 but ended up settling on the q990f because of this

Correct, no mention in that article however I found another article (may have been a YouTube review actually) and the guy discussed how JBL make no mention of the hdmi standard, so he reached out to JBL asking them on two different channels/platforms and they responded by confirming it only has hdmi 2.0b. HDCP 2.3 does not mean it’s hdmi 2.1, it could still be 2.0b. With JBL seemingly confirming 2.0b that’s what I based my purchase decision off. So just he aware it could be 2.0b

I have just picked up the 990f. The bass is wild; I can’t comprehend how people say the bass isn’t enough. I don’t event have mine set high

S990d 2024 model with boomier woofer. S990f is 2025 I got for $700 before 2026 h arrives. All fabulous.

Go see a Samsung q990f or h. H is 2026, F is 2025. I think H may have better sub, but not sure. I have f, love it.

Q990 for me to complement that TV! You can pick up the latest model for just under $1k on Woot, it’s a superb piece of kit OP https://electronics.woot.com/offers/new-samsung-hw-q990f-11-1-4ch-dolby-atmos-soundbar-w-subwoofer?utm_medium=share&utm_source=app

Q990F, you can probably pick up the D model for half of your budget. It will complement that TV! (I have both products).

I think I’m one of the few whose impressed with music in Surround Mode, I have my Q990 on auto EQ and tweaked some channel levels based on my room. It’s definitely a different sort of sound to a 2.1 system but in terms of the “surround bubble” it for sure ticks that box ✅ Also not a huge fan of Atmos music, those CD quality (High on Tidal) and HiRes (Max on Tidal) work the best IMO. I’ve found giving the soundbar as much audio bitrate as you can leads to a better surround upmix.

Agree on all counts man! Soundbars USP is the surround bubble and that’s what it does, and really well too. Surround mode makes it feel like being a concert and what’s not to love about that?

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
