Paired with my Samsung TV, it delivers an immersive experience that makes watching movies, shows, and sports feel like being in a theater. The sound quality is crystal-clear, with rich bass and detailed highs that bring every scene to life. The Dolby Atmos feature adds a new dimension to the audio, creating an enveloping soundscape that’s simply breathtaking.
The included subwoofer is a powerhouse, delivering deep, thundering bass that you can feel in your chest—perfect for those intense action scenes or booming music tracks. The side speakers are equally impressive, adding a layer of spatial sound that enhances the surround experience. Together, the setup creates a fully immersive audio environment that draws you right into the heart of the action.
Setup was a breeze, and the seamless integration with my Samsung TV means that I can control both devices effortlessly. The sleek design of the soundbar and its components complements the TV beautifully, making it a stylish addition to my living room. Whether it’s for watching a blockbuster or enjoying a quiet music session, the Samsung Q990F soundbar, subwoofer, and side speakers exceed all expectations. It’s a must-have for anyone looking to elevate their entertainment experience!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung HW-Q990F soundbar is a high end option for home audio with an immersive 11.1.4-channel which takes surround sound to a new level for any soundbar. This soundbar setup includes a main unit, a newly designed dual driver subwoofer, and two wireless rear speakers which creates a truly magical surround sound.
The HW-Q990F is designed to fit neatly under most TV with stylish curvy main body housing multiple drives, placed perfectly to handle all the sound direction delivering a multidimensional audio experience.
Q990F is engineered for clear and versatile sound across music, movies and gaming content. I found sound profile to be well-balanced and neutral which ensures that vocal and instruments sounds are accurate. Newly designed dual firing subwoofer delivers deep and punchy bass enhancing electric music experience.
Movie watchers will love the Dolby Codecs available including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X compatibility. Soundbar and rear speakers generates a powerful, spacious and immersive sound scape. I watched Top Gun old and new one it felt really good to hear flying action sequences and felt very much lifelike.
HW-Q990F supports HDMI 2.1 support for 4K at 120Hz passthrough. It is really helpful with XBOX Series X or PS 5.
Soundbar with Smart Things App allows variety of audio customization options and sound presets. Allowing users to customize as per personal listening experience. Additionally, t also supports Spotify Connect, AirPlay as well as BlueTooth connectivity.
Users would love the HW-Q990F for its sound quality at the same time ease of setup. No pairing is required between devices and everything starts working magically after the Power connection. I'm using HDMI eARC with my Samsung TV but it would work with Optical Cable as well.
Conclusion
Conclusion
Samsung HW-Q990F is a perfect choice who doesn't want to compromise with Audio quality without buying Receiver, Amplifier and separate speakers.

Samsung HW-Q990F: The Ultimate Wireless Soundbar
on March 28, 2025
Posted by: AnthonyRomano1324
from Brooklyn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung HW-Q990F is the most advanced soundbar I’ve ever experienced. As a tech enthusiast, I’ve tested many high-end audio systems, but this delivers true 11.1.4-channel surround sound with wireless Dolby Atmos and AI-driven sound calibration, making it a game-changer for home audio.
Immersive 11.1.4-Channel Surround Sound
With up-firing, side-firing, and dedicated rear speakers, this system creates an expansive soundstage where every detail is precisely placed. Explosions rumble behind you, voices are crystal clear, and ambient effects move fluidly through the space, delivering theater-grade immersion.
Wireless Dolby Atmos and Q-Symphony
Samsung’s wireless Dolby Atmos eliminates the need for HDMI cables while maintaining pristine, object-based audio that moves freely above and around you. Q-Symphony enhances this further by synchronizing with compatible Samsung TVs, expanding the soundstage and adding depth and realism.
Dual-Subwoofer System for Powerful, Controlled Bass
Inspired by the HW-Q990D, Samsung has added a smaller, secondary subwoofer alongside the primary one. This setup delivers deep, punchy bass without overwhelming the mix, providing more placement flexibility without sacrificing impact.
AI-Optimized Sound and Game Mode Pro
Space Fit Sound Pro Plus automatically analyzes the room’s acoustics, fine-tuning audio for perfect balance. Active Voice Amplifier Pro ensures dialogue remains crisp by adjusting voices in real-time based on background noise. Game Mode Pro provides precise directional audio for competitive gaming.
Final Verdict
With industry-leading wireless technology, adaptive AI tuning, and a refined subwoofer system, the HW-Q990F delivers the most immersive home theater experience available in a soundbar. It’s an absolute must-have for audiophiles, gamers, and movie lovers who demand top-tier performance.

Samsung HW-Q990F - A 5-Star Soundbar
on March 28, 2025
Posted by: Fxb5293
from Modesto
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung HW-Q990F is hands-down one of the best home theater soundbars available today. Samsung has taken everything great about its previous flagship models and refined it further, delivering a truly immersive 11.1.4-channel experience that brings movies, music, and gaming to life in a way few soundbars truly can.
From the moment you power it on, the HW-Q990F fills the room with breathtaking clarity and depth. The Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support ensure that sound moves around you in three-dimensional space, making action scenes, dialogue, and music sound more dynamic than ever. The redesigned dual 8-inch subwoofer adds tight, powerful bass that you can actually feel without it overpowering the mids and highs.
The rear speakers are truly wireless and do an excellent job of creating an expansive soundstage. Whether it’s a whisper in a quiet scene or a full-blown explosion, the Q990F delivers cinematic sound that rivals high-end home theater systems. I love that the main soundbar can be off and sound can only come out of the rear speakers for more quiet listening. Should you choose to they can also act as front speakers.
Samsung has kept a sleek and premium design, making it easy to integrate into any setup. The soundbar itself is well-built, and the new subwoofer design not only enhances performance but also blends better into a living space as it is smaller from previous years.
With Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, and HDMI eARC, connectivity is top-tier. The integration of Samsung’s Q-Symphony technology allows it to work seamlessly with my Samsung Q90B, making the entire soundscape even more immersive. Another standout feature is the Eclipsa Audio format, which Samsung developed with Google, promising even greater spatial audio realism.
The Samsung HW-Q990F is simply the best soundbar system for 2025, delivering room-filling, theater-quality sound with deep bass, crystal-clear dialogue, and unmatched immersion. If you want the ultimate home theater experience without dealing with a complicated AV receiver setup, this is THE soundbar to get. Five stars all the way!

Sounds Much Better Than it Looks
on March 28, 2025
Posted by: liegl85
from Richmond
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I want to start by saying how terrific it sounds. Atmos content is immersive, the redesigned subwoofer sounds much more refined, and pairing this setup with my NeoQLED for Q Symphony makes this a knock out of the park.
However, the appearance of the soundbar leave a bit to be desired. Despite the advertisements showing the Q990F more black, you can clearly tell that everything is more of a graphite/Grey once you have it up, making my setup look mismatched visually. Also, the front of the soundbar has some warping in the plastic, which really is unacceptable at the price point of this system.

Mind Blown

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I highly recommend this Samsung Q-Series Soundbar! I am a huge music lover and even have additional 2-12 inch speakers in a box in my vehicle. This Samsung soundbar system is the closest comparison I've been looking for. The subwoofer delivers the bass that you can feel. I have the bass at its highest level and my whole house verbirates. Just the way I like it! But that might not be what everyone wants or likes. That's great. You have the availability to modify the sound to your own preference. The smart things app makes your preference easy and manageable. Set up is quick and easy. The only wires are the power cords to the soundbar, the two speakers, and subwoofer. The system does come with wall brackets for the soundbar, but not for the speakers. Not having brackets for the speakers is the only negative for the complete system, but I'm sure I can find ones that will work. The speakers do have a screw mounting capability on the back.
