The Samsung Q990C Soundbar is a harmoniously balanced audio system that delivers exceptional sound quality for both standard music listening and Dolby Atmos Music. Its immersive audio capabilities shine while watching movies or shows, creating a captivating experience that is further enhanced in a dark room with a large TV, providing a theater like experience.
The Q990C truly excelled when I tested some of my favorite test scenes from Godzilla King of the Monsters, Tron, and Top Gun: Maverick, as it reveals layers of sound that enveloped me. The bass is rich and deep without being overwhelming and requires only minor adjustments (+1-2). By increasing the center channel to +4-5 and other levels to +2-3, the sound was optimized for my spacious great room setting. After making those adjustments I remembered the Q990c has spacefit sound which automatically adjusts levels to your space. Further settings and control options are available in the SmartThings app!
Setting up the Q990C is a breeze, with the unboxing process taking longer than the actual installation. Simply connect power to each device and the HDMI to the eARC ports on the TV and soundbar. The soundbar can also process Dolby Atmos wirelessly, with no discernible difference in quality between wired and wireless connections.
A standout feature exclusive to Samsung TV’s is Q-Symphony, which synchronizes both the TV and soundbar speakers to create an impressive 22 channels of audio when paired with my QN900B TV. This added to the overall immersive experience.
In summary, the Samsung Q990C Soundbar is a true virtuoso in the realm of home audio. Boasting an elegant design, breathtaking sound, and effortless connectivity, it's a must-have for those seeking a cinematic audio experience at home. It surpasses its predecessor and other setups by leaps and bounds. However, there's room for improvement with the addition of a larger, more legible front screen, an upgraded USB-C solar remote, and the option to add a second subwoofer for balanced bass in larger spaces. While these suggestions would enhance the overall experience, they are by no means deal-breakers.
This is arguably the best soundbar of 2023!
