SamsungHW-Q600C 3.1.2ch Soundbar w/Dolby Audio, Q-Symphony, Adaptive Sound, HDMI eARC, Game Mode Pro, Bluetooth, Acoustic Beam, Tap Sound

Hands down best system i have purchased for home theater. The Q-Symphony is amazing. You plug them up, start the setup from the Samsung app, if you have other devices it automatically configures the network, super simple and connects to the TV. It happened so quick and easy i actually thought i had done it wrong and went over the setup again. I purchased this as an open box, its was brand new as far as i could tell, its was nearly 50% of the cost new, excellent value because even at retail, for me I would have purchased it after watching other people review it. Overall, i could not be happier, but lets cover some things. The bar and bass box are heavy, there is a lot stuffed into them and you can hear the quality as you listen to them. The remote option is awesome and really easy to understand, but you wont need it, once paired with a Samsung TV in Q-Symphony mode, it turns on and off by itself with the TV. the volume on the TV remote controls the bar and the TV, oh and i use my phone to configure most things through the app. Super convenient, no wires, no fixed location, can help you space them right in AI mode, and just a ton of features. I try to put negatives in my posts otherwise i feel like am just a corporate parrot, but honestly i dont have any. The only thing i would say, is the D and C series are nearly identical, the D incorporates a few extra features, but you would probably wont miss them unless your an audiophile and stream a lot of music, so if your budget is tight but still want something excellent at a really good price the last generation C series is also a very good buy. This system has been flawless, it sounds amazing, enough loudness that I wonder when the cops will be called on us for our Saturday night movies. Its crystal clear, there is no popping, no coil whine. 10/10 would buy again, even at full retail. Which is possible because i may get one for the bedroom too. Huge fan.

After setting up the Samsung HW-Q910D soundbar in my living room, I can confidently say it’s a huge upgrade over my previous system. The 9.1.2 channel configuration, complete with a wireless subwoofer and rear speakers, delivers an incredibly immersive surround sound experience that makes movies, TV shows, and even gaming feel more alive than ever before.Dolby Atmos support and Surround Sound Expansion truly make a difference—sounds come from all directions, and the adaptive sound technology automatically optimizes audio for whatever you’re watching. The powerful bass from the wireless subwoofer adds a satisfying punch to action scenes, and dialogue is always crisp and clear, even in noisy environments.Setup was straightforward, and the system integrates seamlessly with my Samsung TV using Q-Symphony, which synchronizes the soundbar with the TV speakers for an even richer audio experience. The included remote and voice assistant compatibility make it easy to adjust settings hands-free.Overall, the Samsung HW-Q910D is a fantastic value for anyone looking to bring true home theater sound into their space. Highly recommended!

This review is for the latest soundbar/sub combination, ie HW-Q800F.I added this system to an existing 2023 Samsung QNxxS90 series TV. As there have been horror stories on Samsung firmware updates bricking or otherwise damaging the functionality of either TV or soundbar, I never connected my TV to the network, never configured smart hub (using an Apple TV 4K for streaming) and never updated the firmware or used the SMART App.Out of the box the Q800F connects seamlessly to each other (sub and bar) and to the TV (via HDMI eARC and the included cable). I would use the eARC HDMI connection over BT pairing or Optical/WiFi to get the best data transfer. NO network connection, Samsung Account or SMART App are needed for set-up or managing the system (can all be done via the remotes). No network connection also means no (potentially) damaging firmware updates, no Samsung tracking all your moves, no annoying ads or pop ups and no laggy interface with the Samsung Smart Hub OS.I connected the A(pple) TV via HDMI to the TV and not the soundbar (as the instructions suggest). This seemed more meaningful to me as the eARC connection from TV to soundbar manages any output. And the ATV will show on the TV menu as a device choice rather than selecting it via the soundbar.Digital Audio Output Setting to Auto or Passthrough: I chose Auto because I confirmed that this gives me Dolby Atmos, but both should be equally ok for ATV. I don't have a cable box for TV but instead use a HD antenna for the local networks. WATCHOUT: When watching regular TV the Auto/Passthrough setting would not go through the Q800F. I had to choose PCM to get both Q800F and TV speaker output. Minor inconvenience for me as I don't watch much real time TV anyway.All Q800F features - so far - work with the TV including Q-Symphony (bar and TV speakers operate together). Sound quality especially in Dolby Atmos is excellent considering this is just a soundbar/sub combination. Too early to tell re: reliability/durability.If issues occur, a firmware update is always an option, but so far I was better off by staying offline with Samsung equipment.
