[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new sound system. There are so many nice things I like about it. The speakers being Bluetooth, makes it so I can set them up anywhere in my living room and really enhance my watching tv experience. There are a lot of different kind of settings you can do to make the sound more to your liking. It has Standard, Surround, Game Pro, and AI Adaptive Sound listening preferences, very cool. When I play music through it from my phone the sound is very clear and one of the top qualities speakers I have ever had. The bass adjustments are also nice too to be able to change them if I want more or less. Great Speaker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Samsung HW-Q990H: After Upgrading From the Q990D I owned the Q990D before this full kit, soundbar, wireless sub, rear satellites. The question with the new Q990H wasn't whether it would sound good (Samsung's flagship Atmos bars always sound good). It was whether the changes warranted the upgrade. After running both systems side by side, here's the honest read.
The sub is the headline. The Q990H's subwoofer is visibly smaller than the Q990D's placing them next to each other, the footprint difference is immediate. What's impressive is Samsung didn't cut performance to shrink it. Low-end presence is at least as strong, arguably a touch more controlled. You can now place the sub behind a couch, in a cabinet, under an end table spots the old one wouldn't fit.
Wireless that actually stays connected. The Q990D's sub would occasionally drop its wireless link, which pushed me into keeping it closer to the bar than I wanted. The Q990H holds the connection even with the sub placed aggressively around the room. Same story with the satellites. Not a spec-sheet bullet, but it changes how you live with the system.
Satellites: same body, new color. The rear surrounds are essentially identical in size and shape. The one change is finish the Q990D's true black is now a deeper charcoal. My one small gripe: the old black blended better against a dark wall. Not offensive, just different.
Setup is still Samsung's strength. Place it, plug it in, connect to the TV that's the whole install. Auto-pairing, HDMI handshake, and a room-calibration pass that actually gets levels reasonable without intervention. The Samsung app exposes detailed tuning per-channel levels, EQ, rear delay if you want to go further.
Verdict. Sound quality is at parity with the Q990D. The sub change is material. Wireless reliability is the most underrated improvement in the generation. Color is a minor cosmetic trade. If your current sub placement isn't working, or you've been fighting dropouts, the Q990H is worth the upgrade. If everything's fine with your D, it's a refinement, not a revelation. For anyone buying into the Q990 line fresh, the Q990H is the easiest recommendation Samsung has made in this lineup yet.
