[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This system has amazing sound, great bass, and could not have connected any easier. I upgraded from a Sonos system that was a pain to connect, so I was pleasantly surprised when SmartThings found it within seconds. Could not be happier with the look and sound of this system.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's another great sounding product yall made and thanks to Galaxy AI I was able to connect it all easy. Thanks again. Edit: I can't post picture it keeps resetting review saying Access forbidden code 403
The soundbar itself and the surround speakers work well. The biggest problem I hear is the subwoofer. It's like completely weak. I barely hear it. I even used the SmartThings app and tried to boost the level up using the equalizer and the woofer adjustment. It makes no difference. I have 2 other subwoofers in my house and I know what it's supposed to be like. This output is so low, it's not even worth it. Doing a search about this product shows that the subwoofer is a huge complaint. Samsung should fix this. I don't think exchanging the unit would necessarily help, but maybe.
Response from Samsung USBy Samsung Solutions, December 5, 2025
Hello Catroast,
Thank you for taking a moment to review the Samsung HW-Q990F Soundbar.
There are two adjustments that can be made to maximize bass from the soundbar and subwoofer: 1. Using the WOOFER button on the remote, you can adjust the level between -6 to +6. To set the subwoofer volume level to 0, press the button in.
2. Adjust the bass control by pressing the TONE CONTROL button on the remote control, then select BASS to increase the level. You can adjust the volume between -6 to +6 by using the Up/Down buttons.
For precise audio adjustments, you can use the 7-band frequency equalizer to optimize the sound for your room acoustics.
I hope this helps. For further assistance with features, settings, adjustments, or functions please contact Samsung Customer Support.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have surround sound system from Sony including the soundbar, subwoofer and rear speakers. But after looking at Samsung Q990F sound effect I will say that Samsung is ready to challenge Sony speakers.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best Samsung audio device already with an immersive soundbar, It's a flagship option for surround sound
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product has amazing quality with extremely crisp powerful sound. Definitely gives on the field sound for games and high end powerful movie quality sound. You will not be disappointed by any means.
This soundbar has exceeded my expectations in sound quality and surround effect, its very customisable and high tech, very well build, worth every $€£. Surround speakers are very good. Setup is very easy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from the HW-Q990B and the difference is immediately noticeable. The soundstage is wider, dialogue is clearer, and the surround effects feel more precise. The bass from the subwoofer is deep without overwhelming the room, and the rear speakers add a real cinematic feel.
Setup was simple, and the system integrates smoothly with my TV. What I appreciate most is how balanced everything sounds, whether I’m watching movies or listening to music. It delivers a true home-theater experience and feels like a meaningful step up from my previous model.
Overall, I’m very satisfied and impressed with the performance.
If you want, I can make it even shorter, more detailed, or more emotional — just tell me your style.
