[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We us it for movie theatre sound for when we watch movies listening to music and playing video games the sound is outstanding
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have this soundbar in our living room and it does a wonderful job of filling our space. It's super sleek and a much better deal than the sonos and bose options we looked at. Overall I'm super happy with it.
We have the Samsung S95D TV paired with the Samsung Q-series 5.1.5 HW-Q800D soundbar. They work great together; we love it when the TV and the soundbar are in the Q-Symphony sound mode. In the Q-Symphony sound mode we are utilizing both the TV speakers and Soundbar speakers together. The sound is awesome. The only thing that we would like to see in the near future is a software upgrade that would allow the Auto Volume control feature to be used when in the Q-Symphony mode. The Auto Volume control feature Is not available when using an external speaker. The Auto Volume feature equalizes the sound automatically so that the volume level remains the same when you change between channels and video sources.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a very proud owner of a Q70a QLED TV. Although the TV itself comes with good speakers, I wanted to enhance the 4K experience with a solid Dolby Atmos capable system. I initially invested in a cheap soundbar from another brand and quickly realized my mistake. Within a week, I was searching for a new sound system and wanted to avoid repeating my previous error. The best option was undoubtedly the Samsung Q990D, but my budget didn't allow for it. The next best I could afford was the Samsung Q800D, and it didn't fail to impress me at all. The soundbar itself sounded so rich and full compared to my old system. The bass vibrated my floor, and everything sounded incredibly crisp and clear. Q-Symphony is one of the best features available when you have a Samsung sound system paired with a Samsung TV. I was already in love with my setup, but when I realized the soundbar could be paired with rear speakers, I quickly purchased the Samsung SWA-9500s. I was blown away by the overall experience, so much so that I rewatched all my movies just to experience the sheer excellence of my complete sound system. The Samsung Q800D soundbar paired with the SWA-9500s rear speakers has elevated my home theater experience to a whole new level. The combination of Dolby Atmos, Q-Symphony, and powerful sound has turned my living room into a cinematic masterpiece. If you're looking to invest in a high-quality sound system, I highly recommend this setup. It's a perfect blend of performance and value.
I got this last week had a Sony then went for this and my god it's really good I had the sub next to soundbar and the sound was not as good as my Sony so wot I did was put the sub at the of room in the corner next to wall and my the sound is way better you can feel the base and sound from ever corner Can't wait to get the rear speakers
The volume on this soundbar is inconsistent between channels, shows and even scenes. Sometimes I need to watch something with the remote in hand as I am constantly lowering or raising the volume. Music is playing and its loud, so I need to turn volume down. Next scene has dialogue, and volume is so low I have to turn up volume to hear it. Sound is great when volume is ok but it's a chore to constantly change volume. It is connected to a new Samsung TV and without the soundbar, volume is fine.

Eric,
We appreciate you taking a moment to review the HW-Q800D Soundbar. I’m sorry to hear of the difficulties you experienced with the volume fluctuation.
You may want to try changing the sound mode to Adaptive Sound. Adaptive Sound analyzes the content in real-time and automatically provides an optimal sound field based on the characteristics of the content. Additionally, turning on Dynamic Range Control (DRC) may help. With DRC turned on, loud sounds will be reduced. 1) Turn off your Soundbar. 2) While the Soundbar is off, press and hold the Sound Mode button on the remote control for 6 seconds until you see “DRC ON” shown on the display. 3) To turn off DRC, repeat steps 1 and 2 above.
