Samsung Doesn't Disappoint!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Q800D Soundbar is mind blowing with how clear and satisfying it sounds. I have a few Samsung sound bars and I can't believe how Samsung keeps raising the bar (lol) every time. This soundbar shines with Dolby Atmos content, the immersion is surprisingly better than some home theater setups that are much more expensive. I wish there were more HDMI inputs on the soundbar and that it could support waking up when using a PC. But other than that, this soundbar has modern features that'll work in any smart home ecosystem.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung HW-Q800D/ZA Soundbar has truly elevated our home entertainment setup. Its immersive 3D surround sound brings movies, music, and games to life like never before. We love how the wireless subwoofer adds depth and richness to the audio, making every experience feel more cinematic. Setting it up was surprisingly easy, and its sleek design fits seamlessly into our living room. What's really impressive is the adaptive sound feature, which automatically adjusts the audio based on what we're watching or listening to. It's made our movie nights and music sessions so much more enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with this soundbar!

Great sound bar
on March 18, 2024

from Missouri City
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Soundbar Q800D is my very first sound bar. Our living room is not big and this sound bar is perfect for its size. Set up is a breeze (according to my husband). It is Amazing, Love these speakers! Offering a rich and immersive experience, stunning mids and highs. Bass frequencies are tight and clear, not muddy. Its Dolby Atmos and DTS:X technologies deliver room-filling, dimensional sound that is incredibly lifelike. The clarity is amazing, I can only imagine how they’ll sound when my Q-Symphony Samsung TV arrived (Fatherday!).
The design is sleek and modern and feel solid making it a striking addition to any entertainment setup. The sound bar is also feature rich easily connecting to our TV with an HDMI eARC and wirelessly with Amazon Alexa. Additionally, the wireless Sub make placement of the speaker a breeze-clutter free installation.

It has a great sound but could be better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the opportunity to test this item at home and we have subjected it to all kinds of tests, the first thing I did was connect it to my phone and then to the television. In my opinion it is a very large and heavy item for the service it offers. Although it has a clear sound, impressive and very enveloping bass, the volume is not high enough for its size. Its installation is easy but you are practically forced to have a piece of furniture with space to install the bar since due to its size you could not simply put it under the television because it steals part of the screen if you put it in front and it is not too big to be underneath. For example, I wanted to try it on the TV in the living room, which is where we share the most, and I couldn't find a way to make room for the bar on my furniture. I would have to put it somewhere else or change furniture to be able to use it in my room. The built-in screen can be confusing when configuring bar options. Overall it is a very good product with incredible sound.
As the days go by, I find more spectacular features and some bugs too. First the good:
About the Dolby Atmos surround sound, definitely WOW! I would like to have a chair with movement in my house to feel completely like in a movie theater, it is a unique experience with very vivid sounds.
about the Q-Symphony function I couldn't test it because my television is not compatible.
about the sound from the rear speakers up/side, if you have your bar well placed this will make your room a complete movie theater as the sounds will come from everywhere.
About the SpaceFit Sound Pro is how having a sound engineer adapting your bar to your environment analyzes the sound signals to offer you an ideal sound experience for each scene is magical!
Seeing the face of my daughter and her friends while they play their video games with Game Mode Pro is priceless, the bass in special moments is incredible. Finally, with the active voice amplifier function, the dialogue will be clarified and that will help you hear Conversations on screen clearly amidst a variety of background noises.

Now the uncomfortable thing is that sometimes the connection with the TV and Apple TV is slow and can disconnect several times

Hearing Is Believing
on March 13, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My significant other is adamant about his electronics (toys) and I hate to say it, but it's rubbed off on me over the years. I didn't even know the difference between a general soundbar and a full surround sound experience, I thought they were all the same with minor improvements and whatnots, similar to an updated mobile phone. But, thanks to Samsung's HW-Q800D Soundbar with Dolby Atmos/DTS:X, I can confidently say, I’ve seen the light. But that’s enough of my awakening and revelation of soundbars and their capabilities, so here it goes.
For starters, this unit is definitely heftier than most soundbars I’ve dealt with in the past, especially to the prior Sony soundbar we’ve been using over the years, but even with its heft, it is sleek and very adaptable to most set ups. And I’ll be honest, I was skeptical about the whole “Dolby Atoms” title on a two speaker set up since a good handful of companies are utilizing the technology, but wow was I wrong to doubt what Samsung’s been able to produce with this HW-Q800 line. At certain points, it feels like sorcery, it’s amazing to me how immersive of a feel they’re able to produce with this product with just a soundbar and a subwoofer, it really feels like there are more speakers in the room when there really aren’t. Additionally, for those individuals who want an even more immersive feel, you have the to option of adding rear speakers offered by Samsung to this unit if you choose. Before I go further into some of the stand out features of this device, I must state that having a compatible Samsung TV will definitely increase your experience with the Q-Symphony feature, but I digress. This unit supports 4K HDR passthrough as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless connectivity. You can control the unit with the provided remote control or with the use of Samsungs SmartThings app as well as your preferred voice assistants. Also, if you happen to be a gamer, you’re in luck since the HW-800D comes preinstalled with several sound modes including a Game Mode, so you’ll have a good time with that, or you can customize it to your liking depending on what you’re actually attempting to utilize it for, so everyones a winner in that regard.
Other than that, I won’t bore you with additional specifications and my opinions about the Samsung HW-Q800D Soundbar with Dolby Atmos/DTS:X. Instead, what I would recommend is to take it for a test drive yourself, since hearing is believing, and for what it’s worth, I will admit, I definitely am a believer now.

An unmatched sound quality

from lighthouse point
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My experience with the Samsung Q800 Soundbar has been absolutely transformative for my home audio setup. From the moment I unboxed it, the sleek design and build quality were evident, indicating that this was a premium audio device. Setting it up was a breeze, thanks to the intuitive interface and clear instructions.
The sound quality is where the Q800 truly shines. The clarity of the audio it produces is astonishing, with rich lows, crisp mids, and clear highs. Whether I’m watching an action-packed movie, enjoying a live concert, or immersing myself in the latest video game, the soundbar delivers an immersive audio experience that fills the room. The Dolby Atmos support adds a whole new dimension to audio playback, making it feel like sound is coming from all around and above, providing a truly enveloping experience.
One feature I found particularly impressive is the adaptive sound technology. It automatically adjusts the audio profile based on what you’re watching, ensuring the best sound quality for dialogue, music, or action scenes. This has made everything from casual TV watching to hosting movie nights more enjoyable.
For someone who has never used a premium soundbar before, the Samsung Q800 is a revelation. It elevates your audio experience to a level that built-in TV speakers simply cannot match. The difference is not just noticeable; it’s a game-changer. It’s worth noting that the connectivity options are very user-friendly, supporting both HDMI and Bluetooth, which means you can easily connect various devices to it.

Unbelievable Sound!!
on March 13, 2024

from Goreville
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound bar has crystal clear sound with amazingly deep bass from the subwoofer. The package you receive will have the soundbar, subwoofer, mounting brackets (to mount on wall if you choose), cables for a normal hookup, and remote.
If you're needing the optical hookup you will need to purchase separately.
The subwoofer, is amazing and most of the time we're running at -6 because it is so deep.
Although, if you really want to rock you can go to
+6 and that's a full on concert in your house
along with shaking! Concert like experience or
movie theater experience from this!!

You can choose surround, standard, or adaptive sound with the sound mode button. Our preference is adaptive for a nice, clear crisp sound.
By pressing the tone control button on the remote you get to adjust the tremble and bass to your preferences.
With the channel level button on the remote, you can adjust the side, front, and center speakers individually on the sound bar to optimize the sound in the room.
My favorite is watching music videos on tv, the sound makes me feel like I'm at the concert. It's unbelievable!!
Voice enhanced feature is an option that provides a very clear sound.
Night mode is a great feature that turns the bass down and is a more relaxed softer sound.
Installation was super easy, subwoofer is already paired to the soundbar.
Highest quality device that we've ever used and Samsung is amazing!! We listened to music and watched movies and it felt like we were a new level for sound!

Must-have sound bar
on March 13, 2024
Posted by: jetblackb
from Hollywood
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously had an older model Samsung sound bar and the upgrade to this model has been significant. I was able to unbox and setup within 10 minutes and it includes everything you need for various mounting forms etc. While I do not have much experience setting up speakers, Samsung has made it easy for me to plug in and connect to my television without the need for a professional. For the quality and sound of this sound bar you would expect to have some hard-wiring work done but this is not the case.
I have it set up in the living room where I watch TV the most alongside family and friends. The surround sound is crisp, clean and immersive. The sound bar is sleek and provides a modern aesthetic. Did I mention you could connect to the sound bar wirelessly? You are able to connect to various smart devices like Amazon Alexa or Apple AirPlay with the smart integration system.
Its powerful 5.1.2 Ch. True Dolby Atmos Sound makes my living room feel like a movie theater despite it being one system with a sound bar and subwoofer. Overall I'm highly impressed with the quality of this system and it's performance.
