Great Soundbar and Subwoofer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound bar has added great sound to my TV. After unboxing, it was very simple to set up. Just plug in HDMI to TV on the ARC input and power up the soundbar. I am able to easily use the TV remote to have it automatically turn on-off. I love the wireless subwoofer which only required you to plug it in because it is already paired to the soundbar. You have two options where you can mount to the wall with included brackets but sadly no hardware is included which is a miss on Samsung's part. Other option which I chose was to just simply lay it on wherever you have the TV. My other gripe is that for such a expensive soundbar, the remote is battery powered and wish it came with the solar powered/charging remote that I have on my Samsung TVs.
Now for the sound, you can adjust the preset options with the remote but it is able to detect Dolby and other sound formats coming through from the program. The sound is crystal clear and gives it the surround sound set up without all of the speakers and wires. Soundbars have come along way and this Samsung one is a great option. I did not pair this with my Samsung TV as that already has a home theater setup with high end sound system. Due to this I was not able to test out the Q-Symphony set up which runs sound both from TV and Soundbar.
Overall, pleased with my purchase as the soundbar works effortlessly and was basically plug and play. No speaker wires, no mess, no fuss, just great sound!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wow, just wow!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, just wow! Upgrading to this soundbar has been a total game changer for movies and even just TV. The setup was incredibly easy - hooked it up quickly and the wireless subwoofer paired itself without any fuss. The difference in sound quality compared to just the TV speakers is honestly night and day. Everything sounds so rich, full and detailed. Watching movies is a completely new experience now. The sound feels like it's coming from all around sometimes even from above really pulling you into the action. You hear little details in the background you never noticed before. The bass from the subwoofer is deep and powerful - you can really feel those explosions and dramatic moments without it just being muddy noise. What surprised me most is how incredibly clear the dialogue is now. Voices come through perfectly crisp and easy to understand and no need to have subtitles on all the time to miss things people say.

Incredible sound in a simple package!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setup was effortless, possibly due to my TV also being Samsung. All I had to do was plug in power and HDMI via ARC, and I was off to the races. The TV recognized the sound bar and enabled Q symphony settings.
The sound is crisp and clear, I'm able to watch dialog heavy tv shows at night without waking others and without the need of subtitles.
Bass is nice and punchy which is a welcome change, it also adjusts automatically to the acoustics of the room.

Sounds bars have minimal physical buttons so it's nice that you can tune the sound bar via the Smart Things app.
If you're on the fence about upgrading to a premium soundbar, it's definitely something I wish I had done sooner!

Samsung HW-Q800F

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung HW-Q800F is a solid soundbar that truly upgraded my TV experience. It delivers balanced, clear sound across movies, music, and shows. Dialogue is sharp thanks to the dedicated center channel, and the wireless subwoofer adds deep, rich bass that makes everything feel more cinematic. Dolby Atmos support brings a more immersive, three-dimensional soundstage, which really enhances action scenes and surround effects. Setup was quick and easy, and the sleek design fits nicely in my living room. Overall, it’s a great value for the quality it delivers.

Like being at the theater!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easiest sound bar I’ve ever set up. Sounds great, priced right, and SUPER easy install. Their HDMI system is stellar, can’t recommend enough. Entire install took less than 5 mins.
The sound quality was superb. It’s almost like being at a movie theater at home. It was so loud. Very clear sound.
I also really like the sleek look of the soundbar and the small box was very easy to fit in my entertainment center due to size.
I would definitely recommend this to anybody that is looking for a surround sound. My next goal is to buy the two rear speakers because I think with those it would completely make the perfect set up.

Big Upgrade
on April 30, 2025

from Rio Rancho
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this soundbar to replace my existing Samsung HW-Q600c, which was a fantastic soundbar/woofer combo to begin with but holy schnikes.. this setup is a huge upgrade in comparison. Setup was plug and play via HDMI eARC (has an additional passthrough HDMI to connect another device/additional gaming systems) and pairing the sub was a breeze. Unfortunately, my existing SWA 8500S rear expansion speakers wouldnt pair with this model, although to be fair, I never received confirmation from Samsung that they would be compatible. Even without the rear speakers, this thing is crazy. We have barely had the chance to actually crank it up bc it's plenty loud at 1/4 volume as the previous soundbar! The sound quality is super crisp and the sub packs a punch. It has one active speaker and a passive radiator to really fill out the room. The Space Fit Pro feature works crazy good for our setup. We definitely notice a difference between movies with Dolby ATMOS, that's where this thing will have you looking around when you hear a movie sound next to you or behind you lol. Overall volume of this product will make you double check what level its at bc it is plenty loud at lower volumes while still having very clear dialogue come through. Overall, I am very satisfied with the soundbar and would recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung HW-Q800F soundbar with subwoofer is an outstanding addition to any home theater setup. The sound quality is rich and immersive, with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X delivering impressive surround effects. Dialogue comes through clearly, even in busy action scenes, which really enhances movie watching. The wireless subwoofer adds deep, punchy bass that fills the room without distortion. Setup was incredibly easy and took less than 10 minutes. I love the Adaptive Sound feature it adjusts automatically depending on what I’m watching. The build quality feels solid and the design is sleek and modern. Overall, it’s a premium audio experience that absolutely lives up to the price.

Amazing sound in a soundbar

from Perrysburg
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Attached this to my bedroom TV which used to use the integrated speaker, and WOW what a difference. The bass is massive, and the vocals are so clear with the various modes I can toggle, like Active Voice Amplifier Pro and Voice Enhancement. Adaptive sound really does make it come to life, and the SpaceFit is a nice touch to consider your room size. Great Atmos abilities, even without the surround speakers.
It's pretty incredible that we have gotten to this point with soundbars. I remember not too long ago that soundbars would not be taken seriously by audiophiles. That time is clearly over.
