SAMSUNG HW-Q950A 11.1.4ch Soundbar with Dolby Atmos/DTS:X Alexa Built in(2021), Black

  It meets the criteria for being a top-notch product. In my opinion, Consumer Reports has given it a good rating. I'll explain why you should get it or why you shouldn't, as well as what it is: br>br>* If your TV does not support HDMI eARC, I would not recommend it. If your TV only supports HDMI ARC, I'd recommend getting an ARC (rather than eARC) soundbar to save money. br>br>* If you plan on streaming music from your phone, iPad, or other device to this soundbar, this is a good option. Bluetooth pairing is a breeze. br>br>* If you're going to stream music straight from your router (Wi-Fi), Fi), you're in the game because it does the same thing. br>br>* If you want a high-quality Bluetooth subwoofer included, this is a good option. Of course, at this price, you'll probably use a subwoofer, and you'll enjoy it. br>br>* The operating power consumption is only 28 watts, compared to 100 watts for regular speakers. Each of the soundbar's and subwoofer's draws a certain amount of power. In standby mode, the device consumes only 5 watts of power. However, because it lacks a built-in surge protector, use a high-quality surge protector in conjunction with it. I found out because I called to double-check because the manual didn't mention it. br>br>* If you prefer traditional surround sound, keep in mind that this unit uses Dolby Atmos (or DTS:X). Which one is preferable is likely to be determined by the room. One of the reasons I chose this Q- is that it supports Dolby Atmos. soundbar from the series br>br>* This soundbar is equipped with 4K Pass-through technology. as well as HDR br>br>* Controls Alexa voice, which may be useful depending on your preferences and privacy concerns. br>br>* The included remote control is quite intuitive, as one would expect from Samsung, one of the leading soundbar manufacturers. br>br>* If you're going to mount this soundbar, keep in mind that the brackets are designed to be 24" apart; this is a heavy soundbar, and I wouldn't mount it on drywall with just anchors, but that's just me. I'm not a fan of drilling large holes in the drywall to accommodate anchors. To be more secure, I'd like to attach something heavy to the studs. Because the studs in my wall are 16" apart, I'll buy brackets separately and install them with wood screws, as well as nano tape to ensure the soundbar is properly secured on the brackets I choose. Samsung, on the other hand, does not provide screws for the wall. The soundbar's brackets are attached to the soundbar with the only screws provided. Take a look at my photos to see what I'm talking about. br>br>* If your TV supports Dolby Digital Plus, this is the soundbar for you. If your TV only supports Dolby Digital, this isn't the soundbar for you. You want Dolby Atmos, which you won't be able to get if your TV doesn't support Dolby Digital Plus. br>br>* Later on, you can connect this soundbar to two back speakers via Bluetooth. Of course, Samsung is a retailer. When I called Samsung to inquire about how this soundbar decodes sound for the back speakers, the representative I spoke with had to consult with his manager, who concluded that I would need to consult with their expert on the matter. I was given a phone number to call the expert, which I will most likely do in a few months. br>br>* There are 8 speakers on the soundbar itself. It makes extremely sophisticated sound using a lot of technology, which justifies the price, and I'm very happy with it.

You have triumphed. In June of 2020, I purchased this product, along with the rear speakers, and I was very pleased with it. It worked fine until the beginning of August, when the subwoofer and rear speakers stopped working. I contacted technical support, but they were unable to help me with the problem. So, as instructed, I pack up all of the speakers. There are a total of five speakers. A sound bar, subwoofer, two rear speakers, and a rear speaker control module are included in the package. I went out of my way to pack everything carefully so that nothing got damaged. Ship it to a repair shop on my own time, as it was still under warranty, using a UPS shipping label provided by Samsung. At the end of August, I received an email informing me that my unpaid internship was no longer available. The unit that had been repaired was being returned. The rear speakers and rear speaker control module were not present when everything was returned. The sound bar and subwoofer, as well as the wires that connected them, were badly packed and had sustained significant damage. After numerous inquiries and promises of callbacks from Samsung, I finally received a call from them on September 10th to discuss my concerns, and they informed me that everything had been inventoried during initial receiving. However, he informed me that the rear speakers were "probably" being returned or would be at some point in the future. I was frustrated that I couldn't find recourse on the rear speakers but decided to take what I could. Samsung then promised to provide a full refund of the subwoofer and sound bar only, contingent on my returning the damaged product. So I repackaged the sound bar and subwoofer on my own time, using a Samsung shipping label. I sent everything via UPS and have yet to receive a refund as of November 6th. And I've been told that my request for a refund has been denied. br>br>Edit: On December 20, 2020, I received a new soundbar unit. I did not receive compensation or a replacement for my missing rear speakers.

This product does not meet my expectations, and I had high hopes for it. To find the best sound bar, I did quite a bit of research. I looked for the cheapest subwoofer I could find for under $500 and settled on the Samsung HW- Q60T. I needed to get rid of my cheap Visio 2 that had been sitting around for 6 years. 1 soundbar lacks a center channel, making dialog in most movies difficult to understand. After you've installed the Samsung HW-II, you'll need to restart your computer Q60T I was instantly nostalgic for my old Visio soundbar. I couldn't get much bass out of the system even after turning up the sub woofer volume and Bass settings to their maximum. And, overall, the sound quality was far inferior to that of my old Visio. The Viso would blast out booming sounds throughout the house, which I would often do to hear the dialogue. In a nutshell, I'd describe the Samsung HW- Q60T is rated as WEAK. I am astonished that the Samsung HW- Q60T is a dreadful piece of software. I'm going to return the Samsung HW- I'm looking for an alternative to the Q60T.

Because of the QSymphony feature, I bought this specifically for my new 65" QLED from Amazon. The issue is that it only works with QLED TVs from 2020, and the QLED I purchased was from 2019. This is something that should be mentioned in the description.
