Great speakers that pack a punch

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HW-Q800H is exactly what I was looking for. It is low profile and doesn't stand out (negatively) like other larger sound systems. The sound is crisp and the subwoofer really works wonders over my normal TV speakers. I enjoy unplugging my subwoofer at times just to really feel the difference that it makes. Even when I do this, it connects seamlessly with the soundbar which made setup feel so much easier.
I also like button that allows you to switch between the modes although I wasn't able to figure out why it doesn't always show up on Bluetooth for pairing. One thing that doesn't have a huge impact is that the TV remote (with CEC-enabled) skips a few sound levels and you can't get granular levels unless you use the soundbar remote.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Impressive!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is super easy to set up and pairs automatically and quickly with my Samsung TV. The subwoofer literally was plug and play once the soundbar was set up. I’m yet to mount it since it’s pretty heavy and I’ll need to mount it on a stud. The sound quality is incredible. It fills the room and truly makes you feel like you’re in the movie/show. The Q-Symphony feature is great because it adds another layer of 3D sound as well!
There’s been one minor issue with the soundbar turning off after a set amount of time when playing sound relayed from my TV through certain streaming platforms. I like the auto power off feature since I would never remember to turn it off otherwise, but it is a little annoying to have to manually turn it back on several times during a movie. However, this is just a bug that I’m sure will be fixed soon! It didn’t affect my rating because I could always just turn off this feature but choose not to.
Overall, I’m super impressed and now am considering buying another for my downstairs movie room.

Amazing Sound, Easy Setup

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are loving our new Samsung sound bar and subwoofer. They arrived packaged so well and in the most oddly shaped box I’ve ever seen! My son asked me to set it up that night, and I told him no, that I don’t know how to set up, it’s going to take me a long time, that’s a project for tomorrow. Well, he convinced me to open it up just to see and we had it set up in 15 minutes. It was so easy! The instructions were so clear and the sound is amazing. It has taken our movie nights to a whole new level. I could not recommend this enough.

Crisp Sound and Great Bass

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Samsung HW-Q800H a few weeks ago and it completely changed my TV setup. The first thing I noticed was how crisp and detailed the sound is, especially during movies and live sports. Voices sound very clear even at lower volume, and the subwoofer adds deep bass without sounding muddy. I also tried it with music and the surround effect honestly feels much bigger than I expected from a soundbar. Setup was straightforward and it paired with my Samsung TV almost instantly. The sound stays clean even when the volume is turned up, which was a huge upgrade from my TV speakers. Overall, I’m really happy with the quality and it feels worth every dollar.

Small bar but big sound

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Samsung HW-Q800H soundbar for a little over a week, and my first impression was how compact it is. The bar fit neatly in front of my TV without blocking the screen, and the subwoofer also has a small footprint. Setup was simple, with just power for each unit and the included HDMI/ARC cable to the TV. Even paired with my OLED, everything worked smoothly: both devices powered on together, the TV prompted sound calibration, and the soundbar and subwoofer were already paired. The physical controls are there, but the remote is not very intuitive, and the tiny scrolling display makes adjustments slow. Samsung’s Android app is much better, showing settings clearly and making the remote almost unnecessary. It offers multiple sound modes, a 7-band EQ in Standard mode, bass and treble controls in other modes, dialogue enhancement, room calibration, audio sync, and speaker balance adjustments. Performance is where the HW-Q800H really shines. Bass stays present and well integrated without sounding boomy or distorted, and music remained full and clear even at maximum volume. Overall, this system is truly plug-and-play, and its sound exceeds expectations for its size. I can overlook the limited EQ options because performance is excellent. My only complaint is that the power cord connections on both units feel loose and disconnect too easily. Would I buy it again or recommend it? Absolutely.

Impressive sound!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This sound bar is awesome and packs a huge for its size. This outperforms some 3.1 systems I’ve had.
The sound stage is large and more than fills up my room turned up 1/3 of the way. The mids and highs are clear and what you would expect from a solid center channel, or LCR.
The bass is also really impressive for such a small sub. I was initially concerned about lag with it being wireless but I haven’t noticed any yet! I’ve watched several action movies like The John Wick series and they really allowed this soundbar to shine.
If I had to pick a drawback I’d say the Dolby Atmos is barely noticeable but then maybe that’s the point. I don’t have really much negative to say about this product, I really like it and so will you.

Perfect for home theaters and home cinemas.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bass is very very good and punchy and I love it. The clarity on the soundbar is very clear and I hear the vocals perfectly. I never had an issue connecting it to Bluetooth or mainly my tv. Immersion is good. Soundstage is perfect. Over all I love it. Worth my money. Highly recommend for a home cinema.
