Great Quality Sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been wanting to get a soundbar for a long time now, so we were really excited to finally get the Samsung HW-Q800 with the Dolby Atmos. It was super easy and quick to setup and the sound difference and quality is immediately noticeable. We love the bluetooth feature to connect to the TV so we don't have to use the cord that plugs directly into the TV. However, I will say it doesn't always stay connected, so you have to choose the setting to get back to the bluetooth connection. The base sound is really great, without being too overwhelming. I notice the volume number is way lower than what we used to have it on because the sounds is so much louder. We plan to add a few additional smaller speakers that we can put outside that connects, too!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Impressive Sound from a Simple Package

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a large bedroom (12’x15’) and very high, vaulted ceilings to 12 feet. The Samsung HW-Q800D is meant to replace an older 2.1 soundbar that vastly lacked in volume and surround features. Can the Samsung HW-Q800D make a difference in such a voluminous space? Let me tell you that it can and then some.
First off, let’s talk about connectivity. If you have HDMI eARC on your TV, connect it there, and you are off to the races. If you want Bluetooth connectivity to your phone or tablet, that’s also easy enough as well. Finally, if you want to connect to WiFi to make it a smart speaker with Google Assistant, Alexa, or Bixby that’s easy enough with the Samsung SmartThings app.
The sound stage for the HW-Q800D truly does impress even in a large room such as mine. I tested the surround channels through my gaming console settings, and the sound bar’s ability to produce discrete locations for sound that clearly defined height and depth truly is astounding. Credit goes to SpaceFit Sound Pro for being able to calibrate the space in my room for the optimal listening experience.
I watched various movies and programs to test the sound quality and was truly amazed at the clarity of dialogue (even better with Active Voice Amplifier on), the rumble of bass from action scenes, and the fidelity of music from soundtracks. Believe me when I say it is a very enjoyable and immersive experience.
I have found that even with streaming music and programming that only has 5.1 or stereo, this system makes everything sound all that much better. Now, the only drawback to this soundbar is if you truly wanted the extra surround stage with rear speakers. If your set-up does not require this, then this is truly the best choice for a single surround soundbar with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X capabilities.

Superb Sound Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sound bar packs some serious punch. The sound quality fills my living room as if it’s a theater - it’s evident from the first use that the Dolby Atmos sound quality is superior. The setup of the soundbar was quick and seamless, it connected wirelessly to my Samsung TV, which allowed for a clean wireless look on my entertainment stand. Having a Samsung TV paired with this setup allows for utilization of the Q-Symphony feature which up levels the amount of sound that fills the space. Would highly recommend this product paired with a Samsung tv. The subwoofer adds a level of bass that is just right, without distorting any sound. I did experience some issues in connecting the soundbar to the SmartThings app, however I was able to get it connected by manually adding it in. Overall this is a very impressive product for the price point, and I would definitely recommend for anybody looking to add theater like sound in their home with minimal setup and minimal space being utilized in their entertainment center.

Huge Sound, Semi Small Package
on March 4, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung HW-Q800D is a 5.1.2 channel soundbar which supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, providing an immersive and powerful audio experience for movies and TV shows. It comes with a wireless subwoofer that delivers deep and punchy bass.
Designed with a sleek and minimalist aesthetic, the soundbar fits neatly under most TVs. It features an HDMI input and output that support 4K HDR passthrough, as well as an optical input and a USB port. Additionally, it offers built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for seamless wireless streaming from your devices. You can control the soundbar using the included remote, the Samsung SmartThings app, or even your preferred voice assistants via Alexa, Google Home, and Bixby as well as having Chromecast and Apple Airplay 2 built in.
One standout feature is the Q-Symphony technology, which enables the soundbar to work harmoniously with compatible Samsung TVs, creating an enveloping soundstage. The soundbar also provides various sound modes and settings that you can customize to your liking.
In terms of sound quality, the HW-Q800D impresses, especially considering its price range. It handles a wide range of audio formats, delivering clear and balanced sound across the frequency spectrum. The up-firing speakers contribute to a convincing sense of height and overhead effects for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X content. Meanwhile, the subwoofer whose dimensions are comparable to an average sized desktop computer, adds an impactful rumble to low-end frequencies, enhancing action scenes.
However, there’s a trade-off: the soundbar lacks rear speakers, limiting its surround sound capabilities. While it creates a wide and spacious soundstage, it can’t reproduce accurate directional sounds from behind you. For a more complete surround sound experience, you may consider purchasing optional rear speakers from Samsung, though this will increase the overall cost and complexity of your setup, it might add some additional depth for all the audiophiles out there.
In summary, the Samsung HW-Q800D is an excellent choice for those seeking a straightforward and semi-budget-friendly way to enhance their TV audio comparable to other high end systems.

Experience the Impact!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never knew sound quality could be so impactful! The soundbar and speakers provide a level of immersion I never thought possible at home. Samsung has brought the experience of being immersed in the movie right to your living room with the Dolby Atmos surround sound and Q-Symphony function!!!
The set up was so simple and easy, I could do it on my own. From unboxing, universal connections, and setup, I was ready to roll in 30 minutes. Everything connected instantly to my TV without excessive bulky cables and remotes. The technology is next level! There is even a videogame mode that my kids cannot get over the effect it has on their game-play experience, feeling like they are right in the middle of the action.
10/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for an elevated at-home music, tv, movie-watching experience!!

Nice sound, attractive, and affordable

from Bradenton
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While opening the soundbar I was suprized by the weight of it, the thing is solid! The next thing i realized after setting it on my tv stand is how good looking it is. The installation was extremely easy. Just hook the hdmi to the Earc port on my tv and plugged in the power. The tv and soundbar did the rest of the setup for me.
Now for the sound. I started off watching an f1 race and the sound was incredible. Nice and clear and a MAJOR improvement over my tvs built in speakers. Speaking of my tvs speakers this soundbar supports Q-symphony which uses you tvs speakers to farther enhance the surround effect of the sound bar. This combination along with the upward and side firing speakers and it sound like your at the race with engine noise echoing from all around you.
A future this soundbar has that I didn't initially realize is that it will actually make the voices of people speaking on the tv louder if it senses the room is noisy. It's subtle but it's definitely there. I believe it's called active voice amplifier.
Next thing I tried out was some music. This is where the clear and crisp sound really shined through. I regularly listen to piano and classical violin and the soundbar was great for this.
There is also I feature called soudfit pro which is supposed to adjust the volume and firing of the speakers to fit the room. It didn't make much difference for me but my sound bar is in a very large open kitchen/living area.
Overall I was extremely impressed with the overall quality and sound of the device. I would definitely recommend it for someone looking to improve the stock speakers on there tv.

Amazing Sound Quality
on March 1, 2024

from Winter Haven
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung is a GREAT brand once it’s been installed attached to my Samsung TV and the music started flowing. I was amazed by the sound, it sounded so similar to when you go into an entertainment center store and the sounds so perfect there but when you get home, it’s completely different. Well look no further this brand is outstanding and the sound quality is going to make your jaw drop. If you’re a gamer this is a must have. The size of the subwoofer is a perfect fit. The volume is extremely high and continues to sound great and I would say it can actually host a bigger gathering/party, if in case that’s what you’re looking for. I’m very pleased and happy. I made the selection. It will work great for my family and not to mention when it comes to family movie night I know that subwoofer is going to scare the living crap out of us when it comes to a scary movie.
